Squeeze! SQUEEZE! That last dollar from the creator’s corpse!

Hmmm....

Pageants cost money.

“...they have been latched onto by vultures and other garbage consuming assholes and that is causing them tremendous amounts of harm.”

But how? They can’t just move him around. I have no idea how complicated it would be to move this poor guy across the world attached to all of these machines. The procedure is painful, and he is already suffering. What about his rights? The parents don’t own him and he was appointed an advocate to protect his…

The hospital, the court appointed independent advocate for Charlie, and the judges (not the government) all agree that it is in Charlie’s best interests to stay at GOSH and receive palliative care, rather than be flown to the USA and be treated as a human guinea pig (where he would probably die on route). I am from…

I don’t understand how they can prohibit the parents from taking the child to another hospital for treatment?

The baby will die if they unhook him. That’s the whole point: he’s being kept alive by machines.

I remember this guy was one of Tracie’s friends (or acquaintances?). I wonder if he still is.

Don’t kids at that age call their parents and close ones “my”? And not just as a way of referencing them but as their “name.” I know my nephew did. My dad. My mom. My [name of dog], even friends. Maybe she’s mirroring that. I don’t know, it IS KimK.

Ok. SHE (not a “dude”) rehomed the dog. She didn’t want to give him up, but after extensive time working on his issues, someone OFFERED to adopt him. Maybe you should have read the article instead of going on an unhinged rant based on a fucking headline.

Voice of reason. I’ve always had dogs but am not an expert in training them. I DO have 30 years under my belt with horses though and it’s very similar in that world. There are animals who require a “pro ride” and just aren’t safe and aren’t ever going to be safe for the majority of amateur riders. In the horse world…

Yes. Heaven forbid we say truthful things like some animals cannot be trained out of aggression or trauma. Better to let people adopt potentially dangerous animals than assume they can figure out that this trainer was talking about a situation that can happen SOMETIMES. What. A. Dick.

I dunno, I keep seeing people using the fact that Dunham took the dog everywhere, including work engagements, as proof the dog was fine, but isn’t it more likely that part of the problem was that she could never leave him home alone (or with any other person)?

Or she did look at those things, and through consulting several dog trainers she decided that an offer for a better home for her dog was a good idea. Some dogs are fine living a jet-setting lifestyle, some are not; and often two is better than one because they entertain each other a bit when owners are busy.

What are reasonable expectations of someone who adopts a dog? She spent four years and tons of money and the problems are still happening, including biting. She didn’t drive out to the country and abandon it, she found a new home for it.

I’m not getting it . . . I call people I love “my [their name]” all the time. It’s not possessive*; it’s just a way of showing affection.

On Jezebel? Highly highly unlikely.

Sorry but this story is shit-stirring and mean.

Eh. My mom got the sweetest dog at the shelter about a year and a half ago, and eventually he turned into a growler and a biter and a dog with food aggression. Through multiple trainers and boardings, she’s finally looking to re-home him. It really does happen.
