No, of course I don't have a problem with it! I like dogs, and I hope yours recovers quickly from his or her surgery.


My thread refers first to this:


http://www.inspiremore.com/nyc-subway-banned-dogs-unless-they-fit-in-a-bag/


secondly to the fact that we have lately seen many more dachshunds around than we used to


and thirdly to the fact that when we went to the newly reopened Dog (appropriately) on Friday evening we saw a dachshund being carried in a bag.

She is recovering thanks but will need to be wheeled around for the next 6 weeks. It does look rather ridiculous but is actually a great solution to still being able to walk the very mobile rescue mutt that we also have.


Dashies have short legs and long walks can be hard for them so bags are also a great idea. Not so much for mine as she's one of the larger ones at 12kgs. They have become more popular recently as they're great dogs so I can see why lots have them, but I wouldn't have another, not now I know how much they can suffer.


They suffer from something called ivdd along with other chondrodystrophic breeds (beagles, bassets etc). It's really painful for them and unbelievably expensive surgery. Supervet at just under 6k for ours....


On a lighter note, some people carry the very small ones in bags to sneak them into places, not just dachshunds though, many small breeds.

A lot of dogs are carried in bags because of breathing problems and the inability to walk far

comfortably. I think it's disgusting breeding animals for a specific look, knowing the health

problems that goes with the flat face etc.

Sue, although you may have posted regarding your link, which is not in your original post, it is

hard to ignore the problem of dogs bred for some

People who think its cute or whatever they feel, to want to carry a dog around that is often disabled.

    • What was he doing on the stage at Glastonbury? Or on the stage at the other concert in Finsbury Park? Grinning like a Cheshire cat whilst pissed and stoned 20 somethings on the promise of free internet sung-- Oh Jeremy Corbyn---  What were his policies for Northern mining towns with no jobs or infrastructure? Free Internet and university places for youngsters. What were his other manifesto pledges? Why all the ambiguity over Brexit?  I didn't like Thatcher, Blair or May or Tony but I respected them as politicians because they stood by what they believed in. I respect all politicians across the board that stick to their principles. Corbyn didn't and its why he got  annihilated at the polls. A socialist, anti imperialist and anti capitalist that said he voted for an imperialist and pro capitalist cabal. He refused to say how he'd vote over and over again until the last knockings. He did so to appease the Islington elite and middle class students he was courting. The same people that were screaming that Brexit was racist. At the same time the EU were holding black and Asian immigrants in refugee camps overseas but not a word on that! Corbyn created and courted a student union protest movement that screamed at and shouted down anyone not on the left . They claimed Starmer and the centre right of labour were tories. He didn't get elected  because he, his movement and policies were unelectable, twice. He turned out not to have the convictions of his politics and died on his own sword.    Reform won't win an election. All the idiots that voted for them to keep out Labour actually enabled Labour. They'll be back voting tory next time.    Farage wouldn't be able to make his millions if he was in power. He's a very devious shyster but I very much doubt he'd actually want the responsibility that governance requires.
    • The purge of hard left members that were part of Corbyn's, Mcdonnel's and Lansmans momentum that purged the party of right wing and centrist members. That's politics. It's what Blair did to win, its what Starmer had to do to win. This country doesn't vote in extreme left or right governments. That's partly why Corbyn lost  We're pretty much a centrist bunch.  It doesn't make it false either. It's an opinion based on the voting patterns, demography and statistics. Can you explain then why former mining constituencies that despise the tories voted for them or abstained rather than vote for Corbyns Labour?  What is the truth then? But he never got elected!!! Why? He should have been binned off there and then. Why he was allowed to hang about is an outrage. I hold him party responsible for the shit show that we've had to endure since. 
    • Depends on what the Barista says doesnt it? There was no physical confrontation with the driver, OP thinks she is being targetted when she isnt. These guys work min wage under strict schedules so give them a break unless they damage your stuff
