    Dear irresponsible, uneducated, chat speak talking, wannabe dog owner.

    You're getting a puppy for your 18 month old daughter and don't see a problem with that? You may have dogs, you may have kids, but you don't know crap about having either one.

    Dude, an 18 month old baby doesn't need a puppy dude. You get my drift?

    Also, if you already have a dog and your daughter is afraid of animals, why would you get another? Why is your daughter afraid? Did your other dog attack her? What's up with that dude?

    Thank you for writing back. At first I thought you were a responsible dog owner, that you would want the information I had and you'd be grateful. Now I realize that you don't have a clue what owning a dog is all about, you don't have the brains God gave a goat and you're reproducing when you probably shouldn't be.

    As for meeting up with you in a dark alley. No thank you. I'm smarter then that, sadly, you aren't.

    Good luck with your puppy. Good luck to the puppy.

    Peace out dude. :(

    Actually, I have his name, it's D Guerrero (only first initial to protect his privacy). The email gave it to me. Unfortunately, it also gave him mine, and if he cares do to a Google search of my real name, he may just find some way to locate me.
    I'm smart enough not to say something to further provoke someone being idiotic and irresponsible, what would he do to me if I drove him crazy with logic? :confused:

    Lol :p:rolleyes:

    Nothing, because he wouldn't understand it. ;)

    i would also make the offenders favourite dinner or take a way and serve it to everyone else and they would get a well balanced meal!
    it was hell for both me and the poor child!
    i would just like to add 'life of misery' started when my daughters hit their teens!
    Ya well I think hanging with his mommy all day is his misery. We are sitting on his bedroom floor deciding what's garbage and what can be kept. He hates getting rid of things. Poor kid.

    It's my Saturday, I plan to enjoy it.

    So, the punishment in our house keeps the kids busy, out of my hair and works like a charm.

    We have three dogs, they all poo at least 2 times a day, if not more. Whenever one of the kids crosses the line, they get to go in the backyard and pick up dog poo.

    Depending on how long it's been since the last punishment, this can take anywhere from 1 hour to 1 week.

    Point one for Mommy. :)

    Alty you're a genius. I may go get me a pack of dogs. In the end its worth it.

    But, you are probably right.

    Hmm... maybe I should give him the address of an insane asylum, and see what he does! He may just go there, and stay! :p

    I'm with you Starby,why punish myself ?

    Grounding was an absolute nightmare for me,I came up with all kinds of creative ways to get my message across but I rarely resorted to grounding.

    When I did ground it was with the implicit directive"If you pi$$ and moan about it ,we can add on another day".

    That was pretty effective.

    I used to get a lot of heavy sighs and pouty looks but one look from me and it was "I'm not sayin nothin".

    Its funny to remember when I had such a hold over them.

    The good old days. :D

    Didn't freak me out, made me smile. :)

    She'd laugh at it, and so did I.

    You don't know how many times people got us mixed up on the board. We had a similar writing style, both frequented the dogs forum, people got us confused all the time. :)

    If it wasn't for Starty's faux pas I wouldn't have my ducky book. :)
