[nagdu] being reported to your school

Tue Aug 3 19:27:43 UTC 2010

I guess I'm not making myelf clear or something.  The child vs dog 
thought isn't applicable in some cases.

I was mainly talking about drinking.  I will have a few drinks around my 
dog, but I do not agree with getting drunk and working your dog.  I 
don't think its fair to the dog if you are stumbling drunk and working 
them.  This is the kind of drinking i'm talking about.  If you were to 
get drunk would you expect your little kid to take care of you?  Most 
people wouldn't so why put your dog in that situation?
