I've been working under the assumption, unlike most who only read your original post that you ARE not keeping the dog in your house...so the issue of you being neglectful about your child is moot when it comes to me. If you rehome the dog and it bites/mauls/kills someone else or their child, who is to blame then? If not…

Why wait until your'e 8months pregnant to deal with this? This aggression sounds like it's built up over a long period, not the past few months...?? Anyway, it's not attacking. In fact: It's defending the rights of innocent children/pets/humans who might come in contact with this dog before or even during this…

This sounds like your pride over the safety of others. That's the decision you're making. It's your principled belief that no animals should be put down so you will have to live with the consequences. The dog that bit me had attacked other children in the neighbourhood and the owner reasoned with the families to convince…

You said in your first post you were told he was unadoptable?

From the OP

Yes, and sadly, whatever the reason, the dog who is a known biter will be rehomed and possibly go on to bite/kill someone else. To me, the reason is not the issue...bad training, breed, whatever, I don't care. It's a known biter. As I said, in this case the dog will have to pick up the tab for the owners irresponsibility.…

The world is full of children. You can't guarantee that there won't be children where he is rehomed. That's my point. I'm sorry but children come before dogs. I'm done.

Trust me, if your dog attacked my child, I'd sue the pants off you and use this thread as evidence. You cannot realise how horrible it is for a child to be attacked by a dog. I had nightmares for years and still am scared of dogs. The owner did what you are doing and made excuses for the dog (It didn't maul, it just bit,…

What would he have to do before you put him down? As you cannot control him yourselves, what makes you think someone else can? And what if the people who take him go on holidays and leave him with someone else who has kids nearby/in the house and he bites and kills someone? Are you saying that NO DOG should EVER be put…

Look, accept the fact that not everyone loves dogs. I would wonder where this rock-throwing/stick throwing happened when you say the dog is in your backyard all the time? Was the girl in your back yard? If so, unsupervised? Either way, as a person who was attacked by a large unsupervised dog not on a lead as a child, I…

I want to clarify, I'm not in the shoot the dog category. Personally, I don't feel comfortable with pets getting better medical treatment than people (in countries with no socialised medicine especially)..i.e. depression, but that's just my opinion... If I were you, I'd give it to a shelter. February is around the corner…

Wait? You said it's bitten you multiple times, tried to attack a neighbour child (these people may not be pet lovers and deserve to have a safe place for their children..what if your dog found a hole to crawl through to the neighbours and attacked this child)... If this is your first, you don't know this...you will not…

Hang on, I should've mentioned, he was definitely NOT seven or even eight! He was very mature in his gaze as he pondered naked women! :) I was thinking he might even be older than 10! I wouldn't have reported it to the managment, but I might've suggested making bigger signs and at check in (I don't think they're members,…

You go into the women's changing room? Oooh saucy! Tell us more! Well, all I"m saying is that as a mom, I would at least notice other naked women. We are a house were we don't go hiding ourselves away but we don't swan around (such a good Irish term) naked either. Ten is quite old for a lad, I think, to be seeing middle…

To be honest, the mother seemed at her wit's end. She couldn't control the 4 year old at ALL who was running around splashing water and shreiking in the pool which drove many older folks away (who use the hydrotherapy pool for hydrotherapy) from the pool. I should've pointed out to the mother that there were private…

Now that i've seen the sign, I definitely will next time!

I thought so, too. I have a 12 yr old girl and an 7 yr old boy. Though it wasn't convenient for my hubby, he came with me to the gym/pool and waited (marking exams) int he lobby while we swam. He then met my 7yr old son in the men's changing rooms and helped him showering/changing etc...because it was his first time and I…

This is a major issue in my opinion. Not because you have different ways of going about things or different goals. Moreso, because if someone loves you, and it's within their power, they will want you to be the best YOU that you can be and they will compromise. I'd push it and push and do the things anyway. You can offer…

watching with interest....haven't heard that 'don't do abs until you've lost the fat' idea...has that any scientific evidence? At the moment, my gut isn't too bad when I'm standing. When I sit or go on all fours, it's a big saggy bag of flabby fat hanging down like a female dog who's had a litter...I think this is from…

Have a fantastic weekend with my hubby in London this month! Italy for 25 days in July! Wooo hoo! Get the boob lift and possible tummy tuck I've always wanted (maybe at easter?) Get my whole family (not just me) to eat more fresh veg and fruit. I hope it brings me a full clean bill of health, too!

Got skipped! That pink/fuscia colour really suits you! You're very naturally pretty! 9!

@taterproof My you have a great figure and I love your hair!

Work xmas party 2012!

That made my day! Aww thanks! That and being chatted up in the sauna by two v famous rugby players who train at my gym has made January 1, 2013 a great start to the year. They also said I couldn't be 44; that I looked in my late 20s. This was until I stood up and my flabby bum and floppy belly popped out haha... still at…

I dated a guy in college. He was a football player. The first night we ever were intimate (after a loooong time of waiting) he said, "I really like you. You have a beautiful face. If you lost 15lbs you'd be perfect for me." (mind you, i was a US12 at the time and quite non-flabby) Gaaah...did I mention I was naked ? I…

I won a fitness competition at my gym in mid December... I'm a person who has never exercised in her life. I only started training about 1.5months before this competition. Now... onto 2013. Let's be havin' ya!

same! It's like my brain said, "You're a naturally thin person who doesn't need to exercise and watch what you put in your mouth!" and my body said, "Fatness and blubber, come unto me!" Grrr at no one but myself but picking myself up and dusting myself off and heading to the gym!

Indian: I get tandoori chicken (dry, no sauce) and salad... I love peshwari naan but it's lethal and no amount of convincing myself that it has fruit and nuts so it must be healthy will offset the hi fat/carb content but YUM!

There are a lot of chains in the UK especially in London which have even low carb/hi protein meals which you can pick up quickly. Also, M&S (a supermarket) has a range of foods called Fuller Longer. These are typically low GI foods which you can pick up (salads, etc) for lunch which is probably much better than sandwiches…

will be going to the gym as soon as my breakfast is digested! Today it's weight training (circuits) on the whole body and some cardio and lots and lots of jacuzzi/sauna/steam room after! I took 3 days off training and about 2 wks or more of just faffing around food wise, not tracking, eating basically whatever I want and…
