I would be much better at not swearing in front of my kids shirt. I let my daughter pick out my hair. She was disappointed that the cut she picked didn’t look the same because I don’t have that flat hair that it was designed for. However, she loved that I trusted her. I do so so believe in this. I also think it helps in a positive and caring development in children to grow up respecting all forms of life. Cute etc but dogs licking faces is just disgusting. When my baby is born my dog won’t be allowed near my baby to lick. This reminds me of my childhood best friend. Always there, always loyal, never judged and just loved me for who I am. The capacity to love each other unconditionally is the most endearing feeling one can possess.
God bless all the I would be much better at not swearing in front of my kids shirt. For me, it was awesome growing up with a dog like that and how sad I and my little brother were when she died of cancer at age 12. We treasure good memories of her and it made us kids turn into animal lovers for life. I raised 6 kids and several snakes. My children were taught at an early age which snakes were safe to handle and if in doubt come get a parent. Never did they bring a poisonous snake in the house. But they did come let me know I had copperhead under my porch. Raise intelligent children.
