Security cameras are a lot better than they used to be, and they are in
a lot of places. Between that and caller ID, some people have had to
find new hobbies.

I see security camera kits come with several cameras. I'm
sure you can buy 1 camera and hook it up to your computer,
but I don't think that's really the norm any more.

I guess so, Jill. That they were surveillance cameras didn't occur to me, but I guess they are a reality in some neighborhoods.

I was thinking that maybe it was an attempt to catch the dog at something and the whole thing went terribly awry. I can't imagine that they would put that child at risk like that, that would be far-fetched.

I've seen enough video from homeowner security videos that
put the crap system the business has to shame. Amazing

I think you're right. And a lot of those hooked up to a display
so you can see who's at the door. I wouldn't think to try to get
away with anything anymore, you just know someone's got video.

Okay, not that I try to get away with stuff. But I see so many
nefarious types caught on camera. Love it.

That's the scary part! Never ever assume there is not a security camera
(or whatever) within any area of view, and on the other hand - that
might be a good thing!!! There are cameras nearly everywheres these
days!! Don't get me wrong - there's nothing I have to hide (er, right -
hehehe) - but dang it, I'm just against the 'big brother' aspect of the
entire "views" (pun intended!).

There's the other side of the same coin, too! Get caught on camera doing
the shady-side of the law, and RUHROH - and that's not a bad thing
either! There are good & bad things about the entire "video camera"
aspect! I won't count the change, that's for sure ;>

In an interview with the family they stated the cat had followed them home before this little boy was born and they adopted the cat. After the child was born he would sleep in the crib with him and became protective.

Ron had a cat with kittens. One day, two dogs started fighting in the
street. This irritated Bootsie/maybe she worried about her kittens?
Whatever. She jumped over the fence, ran to the dogs and jumped on
their heads and attacked. Must have been comical to see. The dogs
ran off in different directions and she mosied back up the driveway.

It occurred to me that this cat is protecting what she perceives to
be her 'kitten' ... or family. Anyway, it's not the first time a
cat has taken on a dog, by any means, but it's fun to see it on
tape.

I used to have a very smart Labrador retriever who used to watch
television, but only when there were animals on screen.

Our cat will watch TV now that we have a flat screen. He never
bothered with it before. He likes animal shows, but I don't think he
recognizes most of them as what they are.

The next door neighbours have beagles, and every once in a while
they'll come howling over into our yard. When we were watching the
Westminister Dog Club championships, the cat jumped a foot and took
off into the basement when the beagles were trotted out.

One of our cats watches TV. She likes anything with a ball, especially tennis.

So the dog had a penchant for political debates?

mine used to. I had a Cat TV DVD and it had mice, birds and squirrels
running around, and chirping. Was pretty cute to watch the cats try to
bat at the tV and run around to the back of it trying to see where they
were coming from.

I can't watch the TV show "My cat from hell" because it upsets my cats
too much.

That's pretty funny, Gary. My sister's cat called me on the phone one

That's pretty surprising because at the end of the video the mom is
chasing after the dog, not looking after the boy. The boy got up and
followed after her. I knew that wasn't going to bode well for the dog.

She did what I would have done; eliminated the threat then got back for the
wounded. We were taught that in the Army. No point in caring for the
wounded if you'll get attacked, too. The boy didn't look immediately in
distress but that is always a delayed response.

last million years.

Someone here recently pointed out that only liars constantly suspect others

It sure ain't easy!!!! She has to go out to do what a dog's gotta do, so
she does see people <g> I can take her a wee bit further because since the
pain relief was stopped (man that was hard for me) because she doesn't put
pressure on that leg and uses only 3. Fortunately she gets very tired doing
so and will sleep a lot once we are in. We are coming to the end of the
second week. Only 6 weeks to go. Sound like forever

I'll bet! Different places, different ways of life I guess and that isn't
always easy to imagine.

Might I suggest you re read what you wrote about having it all been
eradicated and obviously doubting Lucretia's word.

Some dogs are not trained, so live on instinct, it seems. My brother was
attacked in a similar situation to yours when he was a kid. He was on a
bike and the dog knocked him off of the bike and mauled him pretty bad.

Agree with you about known biter dogs, and cats for that matter. I have
a cat that's a biter and I have to warn people that even though he seems
to want attention, he gets overstimulated easily and will bite. Luckily
he doesn't go out, so he doesn't come into contact with people unless
they're in my house, and that's not often. I alone have to deal with his
biting. He's getting worse as he gets older, too.
