I doubt that Palin family has to "smack" Trig as you recommend.
I think that they can enjoy this sweet moment, and take care of teaching Trig, and protect the dog, all at once.
You do photography, you should see how effectively they cropped these photos over at DU.
Great catch regarding the DeGeneres pics; it’s the EXACT same thing as Palin’s pic, but the usual liberal double-standard applies.
From July no less, only months ago, and none of us ever heard of them.
Such an honest post onyx, given your support. Wow, I have not seen such a good post in a while, you’ve made my day.
Parents know that such instruction is sometimes very easy, sometimes extremely difficult, typically somewhere in between.
I remember two Bible verses, which I include for lurkers/readers generally (as my knowledge of the situation begins and ends with the picture, I hardly can comment on this specifically).
“Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it.”
“A righteous man regardeth the life of his beast: but the tender mercies of the wicked are cruel.”
I agree about treating animals. The first time I did something not kosher to an animal I was about 5. I will NEVER forget the punishment for it either. I love animals, especially all of my friendly Deer buddies that are ALL over up here! Dogs are No. 1 tho! My remarks to Al should have been worded better. My main intent was let these PDS’ers that were going to invariably be slamming Sarah, (or attempting to slam her), as a ‘bad parent’, ‘not to smart’, ‘to dumb to hold future office’ etc. etc. etc. that it would not fly. We are watching! Should Trig be standing on his Doggy? No, absolutely not. I’m sure Sarah and Trig will have a talk about this. Sarah is human and makes mistakes like we all do. Posting this pic was just a very minor error in judgement. Sarah probably had he camera nearby, saw Trig and his Doggy, thought ‘cute!’ snapped the pics and then without any more thought just uploaded them to the internet. Watch though, the PDS’ers are gonna have a field day with this! I’ll bet the DUmp is in full meltdown mode right now. I think I will slum on over there and snoop around.
Aw, thank you so much, dearest PieterCasparzen.
Coming from you, it means a lot to me.
Thank you also for the two Bible verses.
God bless and keep you and everyone you love.
God bless and keep you and God bless little Trig and his wonderful dog.
No harm done, and perhaps a lesson learned.
I recommended NO such thing. As you know, I said MY kid, and none of mine had Down's Syndrome.
That sure sounds like your recommendation.
Oh no - Trig is standing on his dog!
Sheesh...
Lighten up Francis’.
T.B.Y.S.P.P......lol!!
92 was a very short post, there was no fallaciousness.
To: onyx
*”Instead of a photo, I would have been smacking and lecturing my kid.”*
That sure sounds like your recommendation.

Sheesh, but your concern were it really matters!
Oh my God. Do any of those folks on FB who made negative comments about kids on the dogs ever think how amazingly stupid they sound?
A big dog will just get up and walk away from a family member who is bothering them. The faces on all those dogs shown do NOT show pain at all, in fact quite the opposite.
They are glad to be interacting with the pack and nothing more.
The picture of Trig was the same way.. actually he was bored and just waiting for whatever food fell to the floor from a child rooting around on a kitchen counter.
LOl, you know dogs.
That should have been posted many hours ago.
You obviously haven't been following my replies.
