OK, to be fair. I know if you adopt one SM
you must keep it in the house. That's one of the rules for adoption.
When thinking about it (I'm talking about racing dogs now), they are trained to run after a rabbit(?), so, yes, they probably MIGHT run after creatures, should get out.
It's just the thought of those poor dogs put to death because they are of no use to their owners, is horrifying to me.
No, I'm not a member of PETA. LOL!
Just adopt the dog or MOVE. Seriously. What other choices do you have!!?????

When I adopt my granddaughter in a couple of years
it is not going to make a difference to her dad - he could care less about her (literally). With my daughter, though, our relationship is already nonexistent so I don't think it could get any worse when I change her daughter's last name to my maiden name. She is more upset that the child has become accustomed to me being the one "playing" momma and calls me that sometimes. I don't refer to myself as "mamma" to my GD, but she choses it to use it from time to time. My daughter thinks she can spit out a kid, walk away from it, and still take all the credit for success at potty training, dance recitals, the child's extensive vocabulary...all the while not visiting, only calling once every few months, not paying court-ordered child support, send presents on special occasions...
A name is just a name. My 4 yo GD told my daughter she was going to call her "sissy" now instead of "momma." My daughter started crying and the child said, "don't cry. We'll find a way for all of us to be together somehow." Out of the mouths of babes. Think my daughter actually heard the child was saying she wanted all 3 of us to have a relationship? Nope. Too wrapped up in herself to listen.
I think people overreact to names. I think it is the relationship that counts, and if the family of Heartbroken doesn't see that, it is the child's loss and that is who I feel sorry for.
I am in hopes to call CPS
It is family and if they find out what I did there will be a big to do. I hate standing by watching kids and the handicapped get treated so shamefully and it has taken a tole on them over the years. The 12 yo and 9 yo definitelly has psychiatric problems. I hope it can be undone. I hope the 2 yo can get out of it before it grows up with so many problems. Bad part is, it is the parents that are paying for the crap that aunt has done. They even admitted that it was aunt that messed up the 12 year old.
Boy, I bet DH hopes it's the yard work! LOL

Yes, dad has the same hopes as you. Ah yes, Mother raised us right.
Too bad all women are not as perfect as she (rest her soul), nor as fortunate to have had such a loving and dedicated, albeit rough-around-the edges, husband.
Don't want to get your hopes up in case I am wrong
but I am almost positive I read that Friday Night Lights will return next season but probably not until October or later. I too love this show!
she could have put big ticket items on there in hopes some would pool their resources together. sm
that's how my family does it. we will have several go in together to get an important big item. also, i think when doing registeries a lot of people home and kinda like a shopping spree. they know they will or will not get items, but what's the hurt to put the items on there just in case.
But I am posting this at the request of the parents to get Leigh's story out in hopes that anothe
Jen, I felt strange too but the parents requested it. Thank you for reading the post. Hopefully we can help them in some small way by passing the word.
