Some of the senate list above is not accurate, i. e. some are listed in incorrect party. The ones I noticed are Migden is (D), Maldonado is (R). Can someone post a link to the correct list?

A chance to call again before the floor session starts at 11:00AM. There is a session today, in spite of info to the contrary that was available earlier this morning. Here are the numbers, phone and fax. A quick call to say NO on AB1634 only takes a minute, a fgax to reaffirm your opposition takes maybe two. BUT if you only do one thing, CALL.

The thing that get me about the AKC and their position is their tap dancing.

I stopped attending National events, because when I would see the quote, National leaders, their time was always to valuable to spend a few second with ones who make the the events happen.

My next option is the take a look at none AKC events and take my money where it is respected.

It does not surprise me that they caved.
What’s next????

It is simple, those California people will keep send us money after they cool off.

“Well, in all fairness, it seems that only the Democrats are leaving babies in their wakes when they stray.”

Did you have someone in mind? Because it’s my understanding that a certain artfully-coiffed former Democratic presidential contender is willing to submit to DNA testing, but that it is the *mother* of said baby who is refusing.

Except for Strom Thurmond (and that was a long time ago), the Republicans’ preferred form of “roaming” from their White Christian Photogenic Marriages seems to hold no danger of unsanctioned reproduction.

How about we propose a bill to neuter all the politicians that are caught roaming outside their marriages…………. 1st offense, microchipping with GPS so their spouses know where they are. 2nd offense, neutering…… maybe they should clean their own house before looking at mine!!! Sure glad I have other places to play with my dogs besides AKC.

God, I apologize for my spelling and grammer in posts today. I re-aggravated my herniated disc in my back by trying to catch and hang unto a 50 lb bulldog intent on hanging onto the chewy she took out of another dog’s crate. Vicodin, muscle relaxants and typing are poor bed fellows!

“So I sit here remembering PAWS and PetLand and the Hunte cooperation and wondering how the AKC Bod sleeps at night”

Probably on expensive mattresses in luxury homes in gated communities to keep out the unwashed masses…

AKC’s responses to letters has been defensive “Only bad irresponsible dog owners should oppose this law” etc…

Of course, every dog at a dog show is ‘improperly licnsed’ since they don’t wear collar tags.

Is AKC going to turn over registration info on anyone over the limit in their county or town/ After all, that’s irresponsible.

AKC is having Q&A later to answer questions and edjumacate all us dumb dog owners on how it’s all nonsense and our concerns over the language and interpretation of the terms used in the bill are all just paranoia etc…

Who here thinks LL and Mancuso won’t interpret the damn thing in the worst possible way.

AKC clearly also cares nothing about low-income pet owners, after all, they don’t fund AKC!

So I sit here remembering PAWS and PetLand and the Hunte cooperation and wondering how the AKC Bod sleeps at night
