omg, I can't believe there is any debate about the fate of the dog. If Rocky bit my baby nephew, he'd be put down before the kid got home from the doctor. When they dog-sat him for me a couple weeks ago at their house, I specifically said they were not to leave the baby alone with him, even though he loves him and isn't aggressive by nature.
Huskies are a tricky breed, I raised one. They are very sensitive, and prone to fear-biting.
I just read that story before coming here and it so reminds me of just about every pitbull story I have read. To a one they ALL say "oh my, he never bit anyone before...." the operative word is: before. Just because they haven't doesn't mean they won't.
I just scanned through the story again, where does it say they left the baby alone with the dog?

Although Donald doesn't know details about this case, she said it's possible the husky wasn't trying to harm the infant.
"It could have been a case of the animal showing nurturing instincts, or trying to move the baby," she said. "It might not have been a malicious attack, at all."
If this is the case then it sheds a whole different light on the possible outcome.

While it does put the dog in a better light if it was not a malicious attack, I still would never trust that animal around a child again.

Never tell your GF she is not as tight as her sister.

Never accept a free lunch :biggrin:
There was a chemistry professor in a large college that had some exchange students in the class. One day while the class was in the lab, the professor noticed one young man, an exchange student, who kept rubbing his back and stretching as if his back hurt. The professor asked the young man what was the matter.
The student told him he had a bullet lodged in his back.
He had been shot while fighting communists in his native country who were trying to overthrow his country's government and install a new communist regime. In the midst of his story, he looked at the professor and asked a strange question.
He asked: "Do you know how to catch wild pigs?"
The professor thought it was a joke and asked for the punch line.
The young man said that it was no joke. "You catch wild pigs by finding a suitable place in the woods and putting corn on the ground. The pigs find it and begin to come every day to eat the free corn.
When they are used to coming every day, you put a fence down one side of the place where they are used to coming. When they get used to the fence, they begin to eat the corn again and you put up another side of the fence. They get used to that and start to eat again. You continue until you have all four sides of the fence up with a gate in the last side.
The pigs, which are used to the free corn, start to come through the gate to eat that free corn again. You then slam the gate on them and catch the whole herd. Suddenly the wild pigs have lost their freedom. They run around and around inside the fence, but they are caught. Soon they go back to eating the free corn. They are so used to it that they have forgotten how to forage in the woods for themselves, so they accept
their captivity."
The young man then told the professor that is exactly what he sees happening in America . The government keeps pushing us toward Communism/Socialism and keeps spreading the free corn out in the form of programs such as supplemental income, tax credit for unearned income, tax exemptions, tobacco subsidies, dairy subsidies, payments not to plant crops (CRP), welfare, medicine, drugs, etc. While we continually lose our freedoms, just a little at a time.
One should always remember two truths: There is no such thing as a free lunch and you can never hire someone to provide a service for you cheaper than you can do it yourself. If you see that all of this wonderful government 'help' is a problem confronting the future of democracy in America , you might want to send this on to your friends.

I think it started with free education and the library system.
We could burn them down to become free. :wink:
Telegraph Operator
A delightful story is told about a young man who applied for a job as a telegraph operator. He answered an ad in the newspaper and went to the telegraph office to await an interview. Though he knew Morse Code and was qualified in every other way, seven other applicants were also waiting in the large, noisy office.
He saw customers coming and going and heard a telegraph clacking away in the background. He also noticed a sign on the receptionist's counter instructing applicants to fill out a form and wait to be summoned to an inner office for an interview. He filled out the form and sat down to wait.
After a few minutes, the young man stood up, crossed the room to the door of the inner office, and walked right in. Naturally the other applicants perked up, wondering why he had been so bold.
They talked among themselves and finally determined that, since nobody had been summoned to interview yet, the man would likely be reprimanded for not following instructions and possibly disqualified for the job.
Within a few minutes, however, the young man emerged from the inner office escorted by the interviewer, who announced to the other applicants, “Thank you all very much for coming, but the job has just been filled.”
They were all confused and one man spoke up: “Wait a minute- I don’t understand. We have been waiting longer than he and we never even got a chance to be interviewed.”
The employer responded, “All the time you've been sitting here, the telegraph has been ticking out the following message:
‘If you understand this, then come right in. The job is yours.’”
This man knew a valuable life-lesson that most people miss:
Wherever You Are, Be There. You are there physically, but be there emotionally.
Be there mentally. Be there attentively. Be there as fully as you can.
Wherever you are, be there. When you are completely present, you will make the most of every minute. And minutes lived fully add up to a life lived magnificently.
