defend itself by a growl, nip, bark, or retreat to a safer place. It is not expected that a pet would attack and kill a human in response to a perceived threat. These dogs do that very thing.

I really hope you read the link I posted about pitbull owners.

i expected this probably would happen, but not yet.
I feel for her baby growing up without her mom and for her mother, who i'm sure always had hope that "vicki lynn" would come out of this downward spiral before it was too late. It's tragic all the way around. I would love to know if mr. lawyer is really innocent of all this too.

That is not spoiling. It is expected.

gifts are Never to be expected--what happened
Food, clothing, shelter and love is expected. Gifts are superlatives to life, not an expectation or the receipient will lead a disappointed life. JMO

Thanks to all who responded. I never expected such a response.
I think the consensus is that to make sure my daughter makes an informed and education decision about her life choice and to be supportive, which I definitely will. She has been lost for so long and I find it heartwarming and hopeful that she finally feels positive about her life to want to think about her future. Whatever she decides, I'll be here for her. I definitely think she should explore all branches of the military as well as non-military options. Thanks again to all who responded. It was greatly appreciated!!!

A pup should not be expected to "hold it" for 8 hours

I woke up this morning to my husband telling me that we are expected to see snow today. sm

I got up and said, "what??" And there it was - on the news. In the little left hand corner of the t.v. is a sight I've never seen since living here (over 10 years). Our area covered in white!!! We are in the deep south, 2 hours north of the FL border. The forecaster says it's gonna snow today!!! It's been raining all morning, a very cold rain, but apparently there is a system coming our way and it will change to snow in the afternoon! I can't believe it. I've been planning trip after trip to take the boys (I have 3 small ones) to see snow. They've only seen snow on Nickoledeon. My 5 year old doesn't even own a winter coat, only pullovers, etc. I've been digging in the closet looking for matching gloves and made sure there are plenty of batteries in the camera (it's run dead before during a major event). Can y you tell how excited I am? I can't believe it.

I've been praying for this and asking God for it to snow. He knew my heart! Every trip I've planned to go and take my kids to see snow hasn't worked out for one reason or another. Maybe this is why......I really hope the weatherman is right.....I'm so excited!!!!!!!!!!!!!
