Anyone who thinks having a child use a dog for a stepstool to wash dishes is a good idea is completely ignorant. Rather than admit it is a bad idea, a bunch of freepers are making this into politics.
You know what.....I doubt these dog bites you talk about are dogs from in the home...probably not ever black labs.....and normally dogs are very gentle with the babies in their own home.
But then again, we could just stop doing every damned thing and put the ER’s out of business I guess....you are a very sour boring curmudgeon type person, or at least with respects to this posting you are. I feel sorry for you.
Having a minor accident from time to time is the cost of doing stuff and not living in a damned vacuum......
...and BTW, I come from a family full of doctors - and the daughter who was a vet tech for 9 years is now working in an ER in NY State.
