"FREE - Pitbull/Wolf mix puppies"

who would want to take a chance? This is worse than puppy-mills, IMHO

That sounds like a very dangerous mix, more from the pitbull than the wolf. both are unpredictable tho.
I just can't help but think there ought to be a law against that mix.

This is a very bad mix that would require a very experienced person, that really knows all breeds of dogs.

Anyone have a giant pinboard/bulletin board from PB or Ballard
Q
Comments (4)
My husband has been working on getting several of these made for us to add to our soon-to-be-open Etsy store. Just before Christmas, he made a special one for me, to go on the wall on my side of our bed. I have been ill for quite a while and I'd been wanting one to use for all the sweet cards I receive, in addition to pics, an easily visible calendar and the various reminders from school, church, etc. This one is 28"W X 22"H, covered with a beautiful sage burlap. To add a nice contrasting 'frame', he taped off the sides and used some spray paint left over from another project. Last, he added some really pretty oil-rubbed bronze knobs to the top, which we also already had. I think they mimic push-pins and look as though they are actually attaching the board to the wall. They will be great for holding the goodies we all love to hang - like necklaces, chains, ribbons, etc. The picture does NOT do it justice, but I absolutely adore it ~ especially because he made it just for me! (BTW, he always reinforces the frames, so it very sturdy.) He has made several that look very similar to the ones from Ballard, with the nail-head trim, and some with GORGEOUS frames. He has taken several custom orders from friends and family members. I'll have to get those pics from his computer so I can show you those. But for now, here is the one he made for me.

All finished. I opted for the white ribbon and the white tacks (thought it was busy enough all ready). It was a very easy project and the dots made it simple to line everything up. Boy, DD is going to be suprised when she gets home from school. Just need to hang it up now. This was a great recycling project since I used her old cork board for a fresh new look.

DIY - I need help re: large bulletin board

Great news... I think I found homosote in the Montreal area. It is about 45 min. From me and I would have to buy a sheet at 30.00 but it would be 48 by 96 so I could use the balance for other projects. Now before I commit to this, if I cut out my piece by 48 by 36 inches, and just lay my linen fabric on top, can I then staple the fabric into the back of the homosote or do I need to add a backing. Thanks

My desktop computer faces a wall mostly covered with cork; the cork is covered with inspiration pictures and some impt info (like the kids' annual medical forms), tickets (got to go see Duran Duran earlier this week -- be still my no-longer teenage heart!). I see it everyday but I see what is important to me: my eye doesn't see it is a mess. But I just took a pic for you and looking at the photo I can see how others will see it as untidy, messy, not pretty ... but that's okay. That's how we live here. I think it's nice the way you're thinking of making yours pretty. So that's me being "on-topic." This is me being "off-topic": thank you both valinsv and ttodd for your responses. We moved out here (Boulder, CO) from up the peninsula from Val(Woodside) -- I'm making the assumption that "SV" = Silicon Valley, which I think of as Cupertino / Saratoga / Santa Clara, but maybe Fremont, too? Omigod -- Afghani food & chaat houses in Fremont! ttodd -- I absolutely know what you mean about being where you are meant to be. Doesn't mean I don't sometimes resent it, but I know that for whatever reason I am needed here and can best serve here. To my core I understood what you wrote, and I'm grateful you're there for all those children, too. Thank you. But I also hope you get something *just for you*!

I'm sure some "genius" mixed these two breeds on purpose...it's probably desirable with the same type people that teach their pits to fight. We have to realize that some people don't have much sense! It probably would not be a bad idea to report this to your local Humane Society, that's probably not legal. I mean some areas don't even allow Pits in certain city limits!

miami-Dade county florida, population 2 plus million is one of those places they are not legal.

I would bet it's bogus to begin with. Where did they come by the wolf, if they did have a wolf chances of them making that cross are slim, wolves aint cheap, even wok hybrids are costly. It would be a bad cross for dog fights, a wolf would not be a likely cross as they would rather flee than fight.
Its just a gimmick to try and get rid of some mongrel pups hoping some wannabe tough guy/gal will want them.

Of course, the "wolf" is a wolf-cross, and even though they are no longer legal, there are folks who have them. It is genuine, I am sure. Likely there are tweakers involved, they do live in a world all their own.

Yes, there are wolves kept captive around these mountains. I have seen some at homes in various places. I love wolves tho don't know if i would want one. I love to see abt the wolves grown up in Wisconsin but i can't remember all the details right now.

Oh duh, I thought it was short for Irish Wolfhound.

I was wondering to myself why that was such a dangerous mix :-)
