Arrest me, officer, as it happened on my "watch."
:-)
Friends of ours told us they got a dog so it would prepare them for having kids. Of course, they were at our house and their dog was locked in a laundry room peeing all over the floors. My husband and I make that remark to each other after we visit them and witness them in action with our children. Then we laugh hysterically...
Well, now we get to it; you have OTHER MAJOR issues in life.
MAJOR ISSUES, I'd say.
good luck to you. make sure that you disclose your "parenting" philosophy to any potential mate you may happen to ensnare. full disclosure and all that.
And sometimes things just happen.
well i suppose that is a step up from adopting a cabbage patch doll as parenting prep!
Well then you better keep up on her, becasue the way divorce works, she will have custody of your niece. You will not have close access to her unless your brother has visitation, which will probably only be every other weekend.
Are you also so bold to tell us that in all your time watching children, not one got a scratch, bruise or any owie on your watch? If you are, then I say you are not being honest.
That graphic is foul and disgusting. I guess you don't have any "retards" in your family.
Dog Ping?
LOL...tell us how you really feel! :-)
For what it's worth, I agree with you.
Thats it. I'm calling the authorities.
Can you give me your information? ;-)
I have plenty of other stories to share. My mom grew up on a farm - if today's logic was applied to her youth, my grandparents would still be in jail for all their errors.
That's nice for you. I was out in the woods with my friends building forts, climbing trees to see who could get the highest, climbing rocks, jumping ramps on my bike and skate board, skiing, doing gymnastics, swimming, riding horses and having a blast, most of the time without parental supervision. I am a law abiding, tax paying, formerly employed, stay at home mom, conservative Christian. Common sense doesn't always prevent accidents. And I can recall several times that I did something that I knew would cause my parents to stroke out if they saw it. I did stuff that I knew was stupid, but wanted to try.
Playing in the backyard with the family dog would be about the safest thing I could have done in my parents mind when I was a child.
The dog is innocent (even if it's a Retriever ;-) ), but probably needed more manners training. He shouldn't incessantly and automatically be grabbing at things like that. They needed to train him properly.
I hope he doesn't end up dead because of this. He needs some1 who'll train him to behave in civil society. I hope some1 responsible will adopt him.
It ain't just vicious dogs who kill. It's stupid, disobedient, wild, & selfish (I'm gonna play w/dat no matter what!) dogs of all stripes. It doesn't have to be intentional for a dog to be deadly. Wish people would get that thru their heads and TRAIN. SERIOUSLY (not wishy-washy stuff).
We have 3 farms and I am begging my dad to get rid of his bulls. I remember the slave labor, I mean character building stuff, I had to do. It sucked and most of the equipment was dangerous, but work doesn't get done by itself, does it!
