Please keep the topics farm-related & avoid general dog/cat questions

[bludejavu]

I am just now reading this but had to comment. I understand that dog and cat threads can overshadow the main reason for this board which is horses, but…if it wasn’t for this board, I would NEVER have had the encouragement and the help I received when my Sweetie showed up - thread entitled “Stray Pit Bull”. The overwhelming kindness and response I got from COTHER’s is the reason I let Sweetie win me over. Then COTHER’s pitched in and helped me financially when I couldn’t afford the vet care needed. I don’t own a typical sport horse breed - I own Saddlebreds. But the folks on this board didn’t care what breed of horses I had - that makes this board a true exception in my book :yes:!

My suggestion - if a dog or cat topic seems to be too far astray from what is desired, simply lock it and we will all learn what is and isn’t acceptable.

What’s up with all the cat and dog questions on the forum right now? At least half the threads on the current first page are general dog and cat related questions. Does everyone just farm cats and dogs nowadays or WHAT?

…without the hound, no hunt! However, I totally understand your request. I am here looking for information on R & R versus TB trailers. I wonder if it would help the forum if this “Around the Farm” category was subdivided. Could trailers go another heading? Could hounds and cur dogs go to another heading? Forget the cats - just kidding since we don’t want to many mice. Old Whip
