Princess's stepdaddy e-mailed me back & said "thank you for the unsolicited advise"...I had to take the high road & e-mailed him back telling him his ad broke my heart & apologized for being so harsh...I told him I had a 7 yr. old Princess who was terrified of dogs at age 3 & told him if that was the case there I could help him get Princess used to dogs...I hope he replies.
Here's the thing....Gyps, I think you were right! and I think you handled it perfectly! Assume it has to be a bad joke, because NO responsible parent would let their kid get away with that, right? Maybe we've all been too lenient with the rest of the world. If people treated their kids like we do our big paws, the kids would be well mannered in public, sweet and loving at home, quiet at night, and rough house only in the appropriate venues. And if they weren't all the things a Big Paw is, we'd put THEM on craigslist!!
