RESTRAINT please, He has a new dog

[redlevel]

I was attempting to say that in our home, they are loved and considered members of our family just as much as our children. Of course there are differences...I have had to have several pets put to sleep for inoperable cancers, and obviously that is not something I would do to one of my children. Neither do I ask my children to use the bathroom outside, feed them on the floor, and so on. (Although when they were growing up, my kids did do some of those things...not at our insistence, of course, in fact in spite of our efforts to the contrary.) So, yes, I do acknowledge and recognize that there are differences...but in terms of loving them, and regarding them as living beings deserving of good treatment, in our home they are considered members of our family.

Thanks for the clarification.

I have owned dogs continuously for about 60 years now. I have loved every one of them, including and especially Chipper, the Llewellin Setter in my avatar. I can truthfully say, though, that I have never had a dog I loved "just as much as" I love my child. Nor, for that matter, any other member of my family.

I can truthfully say that there are some of my wife's family that I am decidedly less fond of than I am my dog.

I can say that about some members of my own family!!

Matthew 5:38

Finish it through 42 paying close attention to 39.

John8:11 aint too shabby neither

"Finish it through 42 paying close attention to 39."

He declares that the law had no reference to private revenge, that it was given only to regulate the magistrate, and that their private conduct was to be governed by different principles.

Well, me too, in all honesty. But I always tell my wife that she has better in-laws than I do.

He wasnt accused of pedophilia, so that comparison is ridiculous.

Then you should ask the person caught with a half of a pot cigarette sitting in prison next to a Meth dealer, if he agrees with YOUR analogy.

I didn't call YOU rediculous, now did I. Because I'm not a keyboard tough guy. Have a nice day.

I cant say that to my wife! LOL

This is a ridiculous analogy. It goes to prove my thesis that we have changed from a nation of dog lovers to dog worshippers.


Wow. You, sir, have some serious problems. A dog is a dog. A child is a human being.

You and Ingrid Newkirk:

"There's no rational basis for saying that a human being has special rights. A rat is a pig is a dog is a boy. They're all animals."

Of course ANOTHER keyboard tough guy who knows MY personal situation don't you? Something in the water in GEORGIA that makes you ol boys clairvoyent?

I can't have children, but of course you knew that because you know everything. My lying Southerner wife left last year, but not my dogs.

Well I live in FLORIDA sir, not GEORGIA, and here the law is that my dogs are a " LOVED ONE ", heaven help the clown that try's to hurt my loved ones.

You have a lot of gal and nerve calling me or anyone else REDICULOUS over the internet.

 

[26Ford]

You know, you guys that don't like my threads, why post on them?

Last I checked this is a FRIENDLY forum, and calling names is not permitted, yet you can't resist calling ME names.

Just put 26Ford on your ignore list like I have done to you!!

See how easy that was.


Have a nice day.
