I think both pictures, from both mothers, are amazing. I love when we include animals in our childrens’ lives. It expands their understanding of our world and relating to it.
Again, Trig has a relationship with his service dog that is amazing. The fact that a dog would allow him to stand on him is incredible. Very touching.
That doesn’t mean that someone can’t say: probably should teach children to not step on dogs, in general. That is not an attack on Palin, it is just people having a discussion.
We spend way too much time weighing our responses on the political ramification.
actually I’m not weighing it politically at all...more just those who lean towards nannyism versus those who can laugh at themselves and have a good time.
But this “teach kids in general” is just bullshit. This was not a how to video. This was not an endorsement of an activity. This was a touching funny photo. I’m sorry, this “teaching kids” flapdoodle is just over the top nannyism and pharisaical, rigid, humorless, curmudegeonish.
