doesn't every parent want their children to have a good moral compass, to have good manners, to be socially adept, to be compassionate, to reach their potential and even overachieve in terms of school and career, to appreciate and understand history, science, the arts and the world as a whole, to play team sports when they are younger so they can benefit from physical activity and the comraderie of a team sport, and above all to be a critical thinkers who are strong and independent so that they will not become easy prey to abusive organizations and/or abusive people?.

as a parent i have many times felt like a real failure and at other times like i am actually helping them to reach their potential.. what do you feel that you have done right in raising well rounded and balanced kids?

so accept what they've become

One of the hardest things to do but, if you can so it, your a wise parent.

I have just figured that out after 18 years....

Dachsund got a 66.7%........Pit Bull got a 83.5%

Well, I own a dachshund and also had a pitbull. Our pitbull ( he had been my family pet for 11 years and lived with my mom and dad) and was just put down about 3 weeks due to his bad hips, his age, and for showing his aggression.

We had one experience in 11 years with our pitbull displaying aggression and that was with my own son. Scared the hell out of him and us. He never bit, but did growl and show his teeth when my son got to close to his "space". This was the final resolution for putting the dog down.

I believe any dog can be debatable if age or the illness of a dog comes into effect. I also agree with how a dog is handled from day one and especially with the media rap a pit bull has gotten over the years, you have to be a firm owner and show that dog who is boss. They are a dog that will be aggressive if you don’t nip it in the bud right from the get go. As far as having a licence to own one in comparison to a gun licence, might not be a bad idea but a lot of folk are not going to be happy.

If any dog attacks a person no matter the breed of the dog, I believe the dog should be out down.

I sit on the fence with an opinion about the Pitbull. I have had some really good experiences with them and now, I have an unfortunate incident to add to the list. A year ago, I would have stood right behind the pit bull and said, it was the owner but now, I have a slight different opinion on it has our own family pet did show this unbeknownst attention to my son..

There were some family members that were not happy with the verdict of the family dog being put down but, family pet or not, when it becomes a threat to society and it is going to turn on it’s own family or owner, then the dog is not appropriate for a family pet anymore.

As far as our dachshund being compared to a pitbull for a temperament test , I think it is a far fetch debate. I have not heard of any dachshunds turning on it’s owner or anyone else for that matter but, this has been my experiences.

So, having made my 2 cent’s, I would pick my dachshund any day over owning another pitbull again...

the other day i asked my hubby what we were going to do this year on halloween.

he said, hide out in the basement with the lights off as usual.. i wasn't going for that this year.

today i stopped off at the store, bought some scary decorations, a spooky cd and loads of candy.

At least you're not handing out toothbrushes!! lol

Hey, dont laugh at that one, a few years ago, I handed out Oral B (60) ....

My hubby got a hole box of them while trucking ( they were headed for the dump) and I scooped them.There was over 300 in the box and I had all ready gave away abut 100 of them to friends and family ..nothing wrong with them at all...still in thier packages and brand new....I also handed out a great big huge chocolate bar along with the tooth brush though......

Parents were delighted to see such a cool thing to hand out!!! Kids were not to bothered by it...
