I'm talking about 60-80 year olds as "Old Timers" the ones who learned from their poppy and grand poppy in the 40s and 50s. A friend's now-ex hubby was the perfect case in point. She's 60 and he had 10 years on her. Good ol' Cajun boy. No trigger or muzzle discipline. Scared the heck out of me, waved a loaded pistol around. I taught my friend the safety rules and how to handle a gun safely.

the site has tons of detail and a lot I did not know. But I'm foggy again and do not remember what I read very well, I will re-look tomorrow unless you find it on the site first
I had a couple of old timers, he accidentally shot her in the genitals and it went up her spine so she was paralyzed from the waste down. He was cleaning his gun. THAT HE NEVER USED. He dies. She lived 44 yrs like that. She had to have a catheter for urine, I cannot even describe how hard this was, it took 3 people. Thank God she could not feel it. She lived to 104, died because finally her daughter refused (more like was convinced) to finally have her constant urinary tract infections treated.
We got a young bulldog into rescue, given up by his family because he has a heart murmur.I dont know his prognosis.
But my peeve is this: in this boy's litter 2 others have heart problems.
And the idiot breeder is continuing to breed the parent dogs. Let's put more deformed Bulldogs on the ground, it's exactly what the world needs. Not.
Our rescue group just lost a 4 year old female after Heartworm treatment which cost us around $2,000. She completed her treatment program, went to a rescue event, got overly excited, and died on the spot. That money is hard to come by and if only she would have been given heartworm prevention this pretty girl would have had a normal life. As it is the last two years of her life were not good for her, she was ill.
ugh. People. I don't like them, don't ask me to like them.
