Well, the first step would be entry TO the campus. Requires some basic science to qualify to get there. The beneficial effects of dogs (& other animals) on human health (both mental & physical) has been measured in scientifically rigorous research. One such is the Harvard Study of Adult Development which has been following the lives of a cohort of regular people since 1937 (over 70 years). A significant finding was that 3 factors stuck out as 'gold coins' around happiness & well-being. Happy intimate relationship like a good marriage, having good friends and owning a dog. Across all the adult stages. It's not a case of touchy feely.... there are physiological benefits that follow. Providing groups of people with access to animals, is not confined to dogs. Army groups have always had animal mascots. At Enoggera's Gallipoli Barracks, the mascot for the Transport Battalion is... a camel. For the Signallers... a rooster. Both of which are cherished & cared for, on base. The major battalion there has an Australian Cattle dog called Blue. All of those mascots are officially recognized. Blue has even got a promotion. I think he's now a corporal. Do the stressed out grunts get time off to canoodle with their camel? How does the rooster feel about trembling signallers ruffling his feathers.? How often would the average digger even get to see their ''mascot'' anyhow? Only in the event of a ceremonial parade I'll wager & even then only if they are on parade There is no need to waffle on about the benefits of animal interaction, especially dogs, that's a given here, this is dog specific site after all & it isn't what I talking about anyhow. What, IMO, is ridiculous is. Puppy cuddle breaks in a work place environment for the relief of stress? Give me a break. If one is so stressed out they can't cope, one should go home. If every stressful occasion require a puppy cuddle there wouldn't be enough puppies to go around. Bloody ridiculous. Besides, I wouldn't even want a stressed out egghead near one of my dogs, let alone a puppy.

There should be two one way doors to the doggy cuddle room. The entry from the campus....the exit to the street.

I presume that students aren't being forced to destress via puppy so I'm not sure why you're objecting. Objecting? Expressing an opinion isn't necessarily objecting. Opinion. It is bloody ridiculous that a puppy hugging station should seen as a necessary crutch for those who fail the the first test of life in the real world. Actually, before they even experience the real world. If they can't handle the stress of preparing for their future, what sort of a future do they have? ''Life wasn't meant to be easy".....Pall Bearer What's the next move if a puppy happens to bite one of these stressed future ''leaders''? The mind boggles.

I will take some more photos tomorrow and load them on the computer so you can see it. It is a combination of flat collar and check chain, that has a buckle so you can adjust it accordingly. Yep there is a D ring on the front, personally I wouldn't use the D ring on the front but aesthetically, it looks awesome. Have a look at The website for further info and lots more collars, leads and other goodies.. Thank you. Had a look. The buckle being at the throat when the lead is attached is unusual. I haven't seen that before. I don't like that.

What about the poor stessed out students that don't like dogs, that maybe have a dog phobia? So as they are not discriminated against will a kitten cuddling room be made available. How about the horse lovers? Do they get a horse nussling booth? God help them if an enrolled Indian mahout is stressed out because he misses his elephantt? :)

Hey.... it's such a good idea why not broaden the scope. A doctor performing a particularly stressful operation, heart transplant maybe, could just knock off for 1/2 hour to play with a puppy to get his mojo back. A soldier in a firefight could call a ceasefire....to play with a puppy....ditto the police.....good grief The possibilities are endless. The firies could take a break for a stress relieving puppy play time. Brickies stressed by the heat could play with a puppy....there's a plan.....carpenter hits his thumb with his hammer....roll out the puppy. Hey....how about students at uni stressed by a lecture could wimp out & play with a puppy & all the stress would just go away & then they would be ready to face the real world.....IPad in one pocket....puppy in another....in case of emergencies. when they weren't on campus. Of course they could just knuckle down, get on with it & then kick back, relax, play with a puppy once the doings have been done. Like real people would. Therapy dogs for aged, sick & infirmed are little different than young,fit & healthy uni students who aren't confined & who may, but probably don't attend lectures all day everyday.

The world is getting more & more ridiculous.

How is this collar set up? I have never used a Martingale, but those I have seen were like a combination flat collar/check chain or a check chain with two connected running rings. I can see the chain at the back here but am wondering why is there a buckle & what looks like a D ring at the front? Curious as how it works?

Does it ever? Only the honest & the ethical ever apply for licenses.

Multiculturalism at work.

Umm, what was the topic again? Germany is to ban sex with animals. I doubt they'd be bringing in legislation just for a couple of people. It's called bestiality and has been around since animals became human. And animals didn't wake up one morning and find they were human. Took a year or two or millions. I'm aware of what it's called. I believe beastiality is a modern psychological term, I doubt the term was around two million years ago. Animals didn't become human, humans are still animals. I shall re-word - do you really think human males behaving typically of human males, even with a strong biological drives to reproduce, feel the need to have sex with with other unrelated species? Again I say, come on! DD does seem to be very knowledgable about the subject.

"Intimate" is not quite the word, Jerry Lee [Lewis??] :laugh: . I read, I listen, I have been in the world a long time. The underworld seems like.

Please explain? Are there words of 1/2 a syllable? Hmmm. I may be a little slow, but I didn't realise Australia was exporting sheep for sexual purposes. Well countless reports show that we have next to no control as to what happens to them at the other end. Your posts on this topic disturbing ....to say the least. It is a disturbing topic. I'm just amazed someone here has such an intimate knowledge of the practice. The mind boggles

i like the portrait of the man on his horse with his hand to his face & his face in shadow best. Clean up the background & it would be a real standout. IMO.

I don't know what they're on? But are they sharin' ?

Who in NSW would admit their dog was a pitbull? Why was BSL introduced & who introduced it? Was a breed just pulled out of a hat?
