Forum Rules | 1. Here we prefer clarity to agreement. Obviously not everyone is going to agree on a topic; here we prefer to talk out our differences in a respectful manner to ensure mutual understanding and respect. 2. Read the Stickies and Announcements. Each sub-forum may have specific rules which trump the Forum Rules in cases where there may be conflicting information. Read the rules of each board before you post so that you are clear on the expectations of the staff. 3. Respect ALL Staff and Admins. These people volunteer of their time and MUST be respected as well as their word adhered to. They are responsible for maintaining a free, open, clear and organized forum. Anyone found to be openly undermining any official ruling by a staff member will be warned. 4. Signatures: One picture only and no links. Images: To keep the forum looking neat and tidy, we ask that members insert just one picture only in their signatures. The picture should be no more than 200x500 pixels and should be of an appropriate subject, for example, your dogs and their names. Should you need assistance creating an appropriate signature, please PM an Admin and we would be happy to help! This is to ensure that signatures remain a welcome addition to our forum instead of a cumbersome distraction. Links: Hyperlinks in signatures--unless to a personal blog or photo stream of your dogs (like Flckr or Piscasa, for example)--are strictly prohibited. Please PM a staff member with any questions or concerns regarding this rule. |

| Beowulf was a pup we rescued at 14 weeks old. He was abused, beaten and starved from the time he was purchased until he came into my life. When I first met him, he ran over to me, rolled onto his back submissively and peed all over his own belly. He did this many times those first few days. I took care of him like a newborn child, helping him feel safe and teaching him that not all humans are bad. The original owners wanted him to become their aggressive junkyard dog to guard their business, but their methods had the reverse effect and Beowulf would just hide and not come out at all. I'm glad I got him at a young age to start giving him as much love as possible.
But yeah, those first pics up until the prairie ones clearly show how scared and sad he was. He slowly came out of his shell, but even today any sudden sound or movement grabs his attention and makes him obviously uncomfortable. He's very skittish, and cannot go for walks on a leash because all he wants to do is return home as soon as possible to the point that he will freeze and not budge. Poor guy. I've always said that I feel he thinks I'm taking him away from our house to return him back to that junkyard and drop him off with those terrible people who bought him originally. Who buys dogs to beat them? I just don't understand humanity.
Beowulf knows I'm his guardian angel and will never leave his side until his last breath.
The fact that he survived such hardship early on in his life is why I gave him his full name, Sir Beowulf the Brave, somewhat knighting him with majestic royalty for his trials and tribulations, and also paying tribute to Monty Python and the Holy Grail (at least that's what his name reminds me of). |

| It must be so hard to be away from your dogs and especially your wife and daughters. Don't worry, you'll be home soon and you will all be closer than before you left. My hubby travels for work as well and I know it can be hard to be away from each other. |

| My heart did a flip when I saw the puppy pictures! He's so cute. What horrible circumstances to grow up in. There's absolutely no reason and logic behind getting a dog just to abuse it. I'll never understand why people get dogs for reasons other than living in a pet home or to serve a purpose like guarding livestock, herding, sledding or other types of work.
He looks so great now. You've done a great job with him, and I agree it is really cute to see him and your daughter grow up together. |
