moving plumbing will be around 3k for you as described, at least. By itself. You can't move plumbing on that budget.

Yes, I think I hit a nerve here and I apologize. I think we may even be talking about completely different scenarios. You may be taking your dog off leash in a private giant field where no one is probably around, or a dog park designated for dogs running around etc where all participants expect and agree to dogs running off leash together.

Which is the opposite of what I'm talking about, which is trying to walk my dog down the end of the block.

Hilton downtown has a hot tub

best suggestion here. But liable to be outside ops price point

I disagree on build, they both suck. But the Ikea looks better

they are super cheap garbage, but so is everything else you are looking at.

Only way you are getting quality furniture with your criteria is used, and it will be a hunt. American furniture is garbage up to a surprisingly expensive price point, because that's what people want - they are planning to chuck it in 5 year.s

In which case just do Ikea. It's garbage but fairly priced

>My point is that a dog is never trained well enough to be reasonably let off leash in public.

Police dogs, service dogs, search and rescue dogs, military dogs, etc.... all disagree.

Dogs can 100% be trained off leash. Being truly off-leash trained is one of the epitomes of dog training. It is not easy. It takes like 5 hours a day, every day, for months or even years.

Most people don't have that time, commitment, or training, but it's possible.

>It sure would allow me to walk my dog more than half a block.

Bruh... Do you need help? My dog's extremely well socialized if you need help. I walk him 2-5 hours a day. If you're being literal with that... That's sad for your dog.

>A dog is happy when they are loved, cared for, and stimulated. Not every dog needs to run around in a 5 acre park, untethered. Just 20 minutes of sniffing is the equivalent of an hours walk of enrichment for every dog.

No! A tired dog is a good dog. A tired dog is a happy dog. I have a Bassett hound, a breed known for being chill with being lazy; he lives for going on long adventures! Your statement is purely wrong, and if you try that with any working breed, then you're going to have a neurotic and uncontrollable mess. Dogs bred to work on farms for 12 straight hours a day hearding cattle aren't going to bat an eyelash at 20 minutes of sniffing. Dogs bred to run the Iditarod will literally roll their eyes at that. Dogs bred to hunt lions in the Sahara will end up hunting things they're not supposed to if they're only given 20 minutes of stimulation. A 7 week puppy needs that much stimulation because their body energy is going into growing. A fully grown dog will end up a mess with only 20 minutes. That's so sad. Dogs aren't cats. You can't set it and forget it.

You're right! I keep forgetting about them simply because I'm always on the VCU campus, so if I want some good pasta, I just walk up the stairs...

Except it's very clearly not and you've repeatedly failed to provide a decent source on that. I'm glad you know the word statistics, now go learn the words bias and fallacy.

In that case, sounds like we're in perfect agreement.

This is insane! The dog was not on a leash, and it killed someone! The bed of dog is irrelevant. I don’t give af if this was a fucking chihuahua, there should be criminal charges pressed in this case! What COULD have led to charges? Would the owner have to intentionally sic their pet on someone?! This is truly unacceptable.

I will not be supporting the CA in future elections, if this is how they handle a clear case of negligent homicide. The owner clearly did not have control over their dog, as evidenced by their story that they had to strike the dog to get it off.

I went to bacchus for the first time a week ago and it was the best I’ve ever had. I had the spaghetti carbonara and ol girl had the penne bolognese

I don't believe I've ever prescribed 100ft lunge line leashes as a way to prevent dog attacks. I merely stated lunge lines are an option if you must give your dog more line on a walk. I just pointed out they can even go up to 100ft.

But if the dog was on a leash and under the owner's physical control, certainly the woman would not be dead. Since, the only reason the dog stopped attacking the woman was because the owner physically moved the dog away. That is what a leash is really good for - to physically move your dog if needed.

Unrelated to this conversation, I'm most certainly an idiot. Ask my wife :)

They actually have an axe to grind because they were mauled by a pitbull. Their own trauma is being expressed through violence on a mass scale because they advocate breed bans. Kind of ironic in a way.

Please note, you're throwing around the word 'studies' but haven't shared anything except for a website run by someone with no background in statistics. If you wanted to look at statistics on race and crime in humans, would you start on a neo-nazi website?

you are a racist. Period. I'm not being inflammatory, I'm wanting you to be better and stop using the color of skin as an insult. You know what that's called? Racist.

I bet you think it's ok to say "jew someone down" and other charming things

All of the thin lines are supposed to be used for deaths within the service. That’s how it’s used exclusively amongst the fire service. But when police faced scrutiny, the pro police community turned it into a symbol and ruined it. And yes, I’ve seen that portrayal of the thin blue line too.

Edit: Addition

You didn't say anything that I disagreed with so what are you even trying to do

oof. 10k is tantamount to impossible. Certainly going to be challenging.

I've been a GC for 25 years or so fwiw... and know of lots and lots of local guys, high end, and other non Kraftmaid.

I think they have an axe to grind because of tragedies like this one. And this comes on the heels of those little kids in TN getting mauled to death by the family pit bulls two months ago. So yeah people can always split hairs on these studies but this breed is always doing real damage. Other breeds can nip and bite and they do, but mauling is another story.

He likes to hang out on Bridges over 95 and hold his sign as well. Pretty sure he's retired and has nothing better to do.

I would argue that this dog wasn’t hurting anyone until it was. Then it was too late, and an old lady was dead. Hell of a price to pay.

No really, tell me, do you think a 100 foot leash would have saved this elderly woman? Or are you not an idiot?

Yet all the pro-Trump yokels I work with only questioned the amount of free-time that BLM protestors had. Oh the double standards...

I stated dogs should be leashed in public or non fenced in yard. Never said all the time.

But you're just showing you only care about yourself. Got it.
