    =====================

    I am still waiting on my developer to finish up on the Classifieds Control Panel so I can use it to encourage members into becoming paying members. Google Adsense has become a real burden on the viewing of this site, but honestly it is the ONLY source of income now that keeps it afloat. I tried offering disabling the ads being viewed by paying members, but apparently that is not enough incentive. Quite frankly, Google Adsense has dropped down to where it barely brings in enough daily to match even a single paid member per day. But it still gets the bills paid. But at what cost?

    So even without the classifieds control panel being complete, I believe I am going to have to disable those Google ads completely and likely disable some options here that have been free since going to the new platform. Like classified ad bumping, member name changes, and anything else I can use to encourage this site to be supported by the members instead of the Google Adsense ads.

    But there is risk involved. I will not pay out of pocket for very long during this last ditch experimental effort. If I find that the membership does not want to support this site with memberships, then I cannot support your being able to post your classified ads here for free. No, I am not intending to start charging for your posting ads here. I will just shut the site down and that will be it. I will be done with FaunaClassifieds. I certainly don't need this, and can live the rest of my life just fine without it. If I see that no one else really wants it to survive neither, then so be it. It goes away and you all can just go elsewhere to advertise your animals and merchandise.

    Not sure when this will take place, and I don't intend to give any further warning concerning the disabling of the Google Adsense. Just as there probably won't be any warning if I decide to close down this site. You will just come here and there will be some sort of message that the site is gone, and you have a nice day.

    I have been trying to make a go of this site for a very long time. And quite frankly, I am just tired of trying. I had hoped that enough people would be willing to help me help you all have a free outlet to offer your stuff for sale. But every year I see less and less people coming to this site, much less supporting it financially. That is fine. I tried. I retired the SerpenCo business about 14 years ago, so retiring out of this business completely is not that big if a step for me, nor will it be especially painful to do. When I was in Thailand, I did not check in here for three weeks. I didn't miss it even a little bit. So if you all want it to remain, it will be in your hands. I really don't care either way.

    =====================
    Some people have indicated that finding the method to contribute is rather difficult. And I have to admit, that it is not all that obvious. So to help, here is a thread to help as a quide. How to become a contributing member of FaunaClassifieds.

    And for the record, I will be shutting down the Google Adsense ads on January 1, 2025.

Absolutely!! My wife has been driving me hard for one but I'm not sure if I'm ready for more than one dog, lol.
 
I don't currently own a dog. But I used to own a Lab/Pit mix. Best dog I have ever owned.
 
I grew up with a rottie and I love big dogs, but I ended up with an apartment-sized big dog: a French Bulldog! Lol. Her name is Gaz after the character from Invader Zim.
Here are some pics of me and my monkey. <3

I had an american bully but she had to be put down due to a snake bite ( native snake bite )

I have Marley, a Pit/Lab mix. He's probably just past his 9th birthday. I know his mother was a lovely brown/white Pit stray who had her litter in the woods across from my house. She disappeared & I found him squalling under a fallen tree during an early May storm in 2002 ( I heard him from my front porch). There were no other pups there. I hadn't seen her in several days and never saw her again after that. Vet said he was probably 2-3 wks old at the time. I bottle fed him & probably babied him too much.

He's kind of a mess of a dog; animal-agressive but loves people to the point of annoyance. Strong as a freakin' ox, domineering and territorial. He's remained terrified of rain, thunder and weather changes; I call him my Doppler dog 'cause he knows when it's going to rain a full day or two before I know.
 
Here are my babies

Conan, 3 yr old APBT/ Ridgeback.
Riley, 2 yr old AmStaff
Both were wonderful craigslist finds :D

I don't have any snakes but I have 3 tegus.
 
While I would love to get a bully dog, I am unfortunately not a good candidate for them. I have trouble with discipline, and as much as you baby them, you have to be able to be Alpha dog (I'm more of a beta puppy). I've known several pits and pit/mastiff that were absolute luvbugs, sweet, calm and gentle. One, Opie, was like a giant baby, and I loved her. It took a windy day and a flapping door for me to see the otherside of her. She almost took out a wall getting to the door cause she thought there was an intruder. Soon as she saw all was well, back to being my shadow, begging for attention.

I've never kept any of those breeds. I'm more into fur balls like golden retrievers bernese mountain dogs, and huskies. I have considered the english bulldog before, but the majority of the rest are too ugly and plain for me. :shrug01:
 
Some people do not consider boxers to be a bully breed, but I do, and here are my two :D
