Entries from December 2007 ↓

I have learned a valuable lesson yesterday one in which I will try not to fall for in the future. If you haven’t been following events on the blog this week let me explain. On Tuesday of this week, someone posted a comment critical of my blog post and me. I don’t have a problem with that because after all, I want to spark discussion on various topics some of which are controversial. Nevertheless, I fell into a trap for I never expected that someone would actually stoop so low and steal someone’s identity.

To use someone else’s name and email address, and then post a derogatory comment is about as low as you can get. We are in the process of searching the IP address and whoever did this better hope they aren’t found. We know the network and the area where this post came from and it will be up to the person whose identity was stolen to pursue it further. To me, this is just sad.

Flyball is a game we play to have fun with our dogs. How does it go from this to utter meanness? I lose a little more faith in my fellow man everyday.

I have found it necessary to moderate the comments. However, anyone that has posted on the blog before should be able to post comments without moderation, but there may be a few exceptions. I will make every attempt to approve comments as quickly as possible. After your first comment is approved, subsequent comments should post without moderations.

I apologize for any post or comments about Greg, whoever he may be. Greg’s comment to this blog has been deleted.

Here is a timely article that will break up the flyball political discussion and may actually help someone. Christopher, on the Border Wars website has put together and excellent article on surviving a fall though ice and you can read his article On Thin Ice here.

December 21 marks the winter solstice, and some parts of the country are already experiencing freezing temperatures where ponds, lakes, and standing water are starting to freeze over. I live in the Southeast, the “Deep South,” so the only time we see ice is in our refrigerator freezers, but Christopher has included a brochure about Dog CPR. I never even knew that you could do the Heimlich maneuver on a dog, which is something good to know. Check it out!
