I’m tattling on the tattling doggie ping! :-)

WOOOF!

The Doggie Ping list is for FReepers who would like to be notified of threads relating to all things canid. If you would like to join the Doggie Ping Pack (or be unleashed from it), FReemail me.

I can just imagine if for some reason EMT’s have to show up with cops. Guess what’ll happen?

[TheOldLady]

Heartwarming story, and the improvement in the child’s development is really nice.

[TheOldLady]

If you went over to DU, it would be a big improvement in both sites.

I've only been here on FR for just a couple of months and I'm amazed at the incivility of some people, not all, but some. First thing out of the box they slam someone; don't bother to ask what they mean,just dump on them.

Cops habitually shoot dogs the first thing they do when they show up at peoples homes. There are story after story of that happening. I was just being factious. Thanks for asking before hand.

[Lima_Two_Zero_Alpha]

I agree, Rev. That was totally uncalled for. Welcome aboard.

[SuzyQue]

Welcome, and please do stick around. Some Freepers tend to be a bit, um, opinionated. (Like me, sometimes).

[Immerito]

He was referencing an unpleasant fact in a facetious manner.

Let us hope that this little girl never witnesses the execution of her service dog.

[ReverendJames]

Thanks. It's not my nature to slam people but then when for no reason someone slams me I have to say something. I was invited here. It's a great place for news and stuff; getting to meet people.

I know exactly what you said and what you meant by it.

This is a heartwarming story about the partial recovery of this Down’s syndrome child as a result of her having a service dog.

No one needs to be reminded about the fact that police shoot dogs because you and others mention it on the dog threads all the time, and that comment is annoying, repetitive, not funny, not appropriate to the thread, and by the way, not civil.

People are enjoying the story, and you pop in and facetiously imply: “yuk, yuk, the cops are gonna shoot that dog, yuk, yuk.” That’s not what anyone wants to hear.

Do you have a comment that is pertinent to the story? I would be delighted to hear it.

[ReverendJames]

Thanks. I’m not a runner. BTW, I don’t know you but. SuzyQ is the name of my airplane.

[ReverendJames]

Yes, great story. It wasn’t a yuk yuk as you infer. As I said, I was being fatuous about it. I was hoping that wouldn’t happen. But in this day and age it does. The cop would shoot first then ask questions. It happens. Deal with it.

[Kimmers]

Service dogs continue to amaze me as in this story where he goes beyond what he was trained for.....these parents will always about their little one but I would think their burden would be a little lighter because of this dog....

thanks for posting such a sweet story

Did you fly with the 19th?

Dogs and kids are good for each other.

[Shannon]

OMG, that’s a frightening thought but you’re right. The dog would NOT be safe.
