[at-l] Update on Middleun...

[shellydhale at earthlink.net (Shelly Hale)]

I have to agree with you Sly.  If it were my dog, there'd be no question in my mind as to what needed to be done.  However, there are those that do put an animal's life over that of a child.  There are 2 children in the home that are younger and smaller than Jerrica.  And, I fear that this may be a case such as that.  What would they do if the dog had bitten one of their own children?

Plus, with the dog belonging to my husband's cousin, it's making it that much tougher.  We're gonna give them the opportunity to put the dog down.  If they don't we're gonna get a warrant to have it put down.  Family be damned, but if it will keep another child from going through this same situation, then so be it.

For all of those out there that are dog owners, if you have dogs in your home, please, please, please, put that dog in another room or outside when you have company over.  It would keep so many instances such as this from happening.

  Glad to hear Jerrica is much better, but the only way to make sure it doesn't happen again is to put the dog down.  If I were the owner I wouldn't hesitate for a minute.
