The dog that couldn't be caged

Arboreal beagles.

What'll they think of next?

I like the cheerleading section.

I imagine a dog owner who has tried a million ways to keep the dog inside only to have it escape time after time. He finally runs a camera all day to find this!

I'm impressed.

We shoud not use the word: " it "
to refer to a dog. All mammals are either male or female,
hence it is error to use a neuter gender pronoun,
as tho he were just a thing, like a stone.

So, did you get a peek under it's belly to see its gender?

Omsig, I am the most ridiculous animal lover you may ever meet. Give me a break.

What do you have against stones, if I may be so bold er...

Looks like a libertarian pooch !
I wish he coud vote !





David

Pardon me, Rocky . . . .
No offense.
Note that I never referred to u as being " it ".





David

That's because he presents himself as a man. (and therefor, we can assume he is).

wonderful video

Well, I always say "he" unless there is evidence to the contrary.



I 'll take your word for that.
I like them too.
I watch them quite a lot in HD.
I also like to go to the zoo.
When I travel, I try to make it a point to visit
that city 's zoo, if it has one. That near killed me in Hong Kong.
Its built on a hill, about a 45 degree angle.

I remember an English grammar teacher in Phoenix, Arizona
when I was around 10, who dismissively told the class
that "we just say ' it ' about animals, because thay r just things."
Disdain tumbled from her haughty mouth as she slighted them.
(I suspected that she was preparing to give them the finger, but she restrained herself.)

Altho I was always an argumentative, confrontational person,
at that age and all other ages, I failed to challenge her on that point,
simply because she sort of caught me off balance; I was not ready
with any good response (being momentarily stunned in perplexity).
She went on to something else, while I was devoid of clever retort,
so I let her get away with it. Tho its been well over half a century since then,
that has not sat quite right with me (tho the nightmares have stopped).

Altho I am consciously aware that the animals do not know
that humans are denigrating them in their discourse
(ofen thay r out of earshot, when the scurrilous remarks r uttered)
I still recoil at the offense against the logic of English grammar.
Mammals belong to a sex; hence it is error to deny that by choice of pronouns.
It coud be possible that maybe in their communications amongst themselves,
the animals r derisive or pejorative in their references to humans,
but this has not been proven for sure.

SO STIPULATED !

You know I'm just joshin' ya, right...?

I accepted it as jovial humor.

To simply default to 'he' is just as bad (maybe worse) than using the non-gendered 'it'. In my opinion, anyways.

Day at the office for a cat but, for a dog, that's pretty good.

I love how the other dogs are watching her and actually appear happy / impressed when she succeeds.

Beagles. Gotta love em.

Squinney, it was a dude dog, don'tcha got close up view...?

They don't like her. They're glad she got out and hope she'll keep going.
