julzjc Posted September 9, 2010 Share Posted September 9, 2010 Sorry i didnt save it, what happend to it? Do you want us to post our replies again? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diva Posted September 9, 2010 Share Posted September 9, 2010 Sorry i didnt save it, what happend to it? Do you want us to post our replies again? It will have been removed because it was nothing to do with dogs and so a breach of the rules, albeit an innocent one. Such discussions are for the 'off topic' forums. Not having enough posts yet for access to 'off topic' doesn't mean they can be held in the dog forums. Reposting replies will probably just get it deleted again. Reopening a deleted thread is also against the rules. Better to private message your experiences to the OP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ditto, although my dog was concern, the main problem was about me lol This thread will most likely be removed too I'm guessing.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
~Anne~ Posted September 9, 2010 Share Posted September 9, 2010 It was removed? Seriously? Wow, I think I need to re-read the rules and how I interpret them. I can understand that threads should be kept to topic, but normally they are just moved. I guess that wasn't a possibility because you didn't have a high enough count number but why not just make a statement to that effect and then lock it perhpas? Or better, let it remain and let the discussion continue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
~Anne~ Posted September 9, 2010 Share Posted September 9, 2010 Actually, can someone paste the rule that says posts will be removed in this case?? I can't see anything about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
koalathebear Posted September 9, 2010 Share Posted September 9, 2010 (edited) I doubt it would have been auto-removed without a complaint and if someone complained then it would have been removed because it's OT. Don't worry Kate, I suspect you'll have enough posts soon to have access to the Off Topic section where (almost) anything goes. Perhaps you could have made the topic have a dog nexus i.e. 1. has anyone had the surgery? what was it like? 2. how did it affect your abilty to walk/exercise your dogs? Then no one could argue that it was OT Edited September 9, 2010 by koalathebear Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diva Posted September 9, 2010 Share Posted September 9, 2010 (edited) Actually, can someone paste the rule that says posts will be removed in this case?? I can't see anything about it. I've always taken the bit about the site being created to discuss dogs as a bit of a give-away. Along with forum titles like 'General DOG Discussion' (OK, I made up the caps and bolding, LOL.) As always, if you are concerned that Dogzonline is a dog forum, contact the mods and make your case. Edited September 9, 2010 by Diva Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Kate_Summer Posted September 9, 2010 Share Posted September 9, 2010 (edited) Well if someone complained then it would have been removed.

Then no one could argue that it was OT I did have something along those line in my OP. No big deal, just a little annoyed as I was sharing the info ETA *with hubby & went to re-read some specific post but it was gone. Anyways after seeing the surgeon next week decisions will need to be made & worse comes to worse I'll need to get recommendation on how to find a good dog walker.

persephone Posted September 9, 2010 Share Posted September 9, 2010 Kate- if you have questions- you can always send a PM to TROY who is god of the forums and has the final say on what can and cannot be discussed . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyways after seeing the surgeon next week decisions will need to be made & worse comes to worse I'll need to get recommendation on how to find a good dog walker. Oh .. that's so unlucky. Sorry to hear that. I've seen lots of posts before asking about how to keep their dogs entertained during the post-surgery period or when they're sick/bedridden etc and those posts seem to survive ... As to the rest, I can sympathise - I had hand surgery in July (carpal tunnel release) and my right hand is still very weak and sometimes sore. I find it quite difficult to restrain my puppy when he's excited so the next two weeks of obedience class are going to be testing for me given that my husband's in Toronto for two weeks. Finding ways to restrain and exercise the doggies when one is slightly incapacitated is a real challenge.

koalathebear Posted September 9, 2010 Share Posted September 9, 2010 (edited) anne: I'm guessing that because the title of this forum is 'General Dog Dicussion', it has been deemed that unlike most contracts, "headings DO have legal effect" so anything off-topic should be in the off-topic section. That being said, if the post was about the surgery and walking dogs (I didn't see the original post sorry) - then it does sound like it is on-topic. Kate: For clarity, the topic perhaps should have been: "looking after your dogs after you have had surgery" ... or something Then it should be relatively unassailable ... unless you say something like: "Looking after your designerdogadoodle (that you knowingly and unrepetentantly obtained from a BYB petshop) after you have had surgery". Then I don't think it would get through Edited September 10, 2010 by koalathebear Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Golden Rules Posted September 9, 2010 Share Posted September 9, 2010 Just start your thread again Kate Summers - but put something about exercising/entertaining your dog in the title and away you go! Some people are way too literal sometimes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kamuzz Posted September 10, 2010 Share Posted September 10, 2010 Well you can tell us a little more about your situation: - what sort of dog do you have - how much exercise does he need - how much exercise does he want - what is the terrain like where you live - hills, flat etc - would you be able to try biking him instead of walking And add some photos. That should be good for at least 5 more posts - how many do you need? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
