		<description><![CDATA[Hey, DM, I did say I overstated!  I was sort of being sarcastic, not serious,  but obviously that doesn&#039;t come out too well in posting... damnable intertubes. Why can&#039;t you read my mind?]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[OK, cool the jets people.

Even though I do know the safer way to break apart a dog fight, I&#039;m not sure if in the heat of the moment I would perform it correctly.  And nellie, I&#039;m pretty sure you started this by saying &quot;you deserve to get bitten&quot; instead of something like &quot;you&#039;re more likely to get bitten.&quot;

I wasn&#039;t aware of dog fight karma.  Is there an Idiot&#039;s Guide I can pick up?]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[No, actually you both are inane for speaking without knowledge. Once again, when you own a pet, it is your responsibility to know how to handle that pet and other pets who may be aggressive towards yours. I have a dog with with doggie Aspergers, so i have actually read up and worked with trainers on how to handle aggression.

You are never supposed to break up a dog fight by putting your hand anywhere a dog&#039;s mouth. You are actually supposed to grab them by the hind quarters and drag them apart. Another option if possible is to try to throw water on hose them down. Getting near the mouth is the very last thing you should do. Any trainer worth their salt tell you that. In fact, a quick internet search will tell you that. I perhaps overstated, but you, Andisheh, were being unnecessarily snarky yourself.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Au contraire, I love dogs. It&#039;s the irresponsibility of SOME dog owners that ticks me off. Here are the names of the dogs I have owned and loved, from childhood to the present: Peggy, Patty, Bingo, Wendy, Charlie, Jake, Greta, and Chekhov. If you think I feel negative about dogs in general, I wonder how and why I cared for and loved all of those dogs?]]></description>
