Guest guest Posted June 3, 2008 Report Share Posted June 3, 2008 For the very greatest most part, this list may argue and disagree - we all afterall are different and see things differently. But we don't have any WRONG responses. We just disagree sometimes. Some of us believe that publicity helps our kids - others hate it. Some like to use language thatothers are pained to hear. Some persue full inclusion - some totally separate or home schooling. And the list goes on. Feel safe and comfortable with us .

Guest guest Posted June 3, 2008 Report Share Posted June 3, 2008 How heart breaking. I am so sad for your family. It sounds like that dog was so much like a little brother watching after big brother.Oh I hope your son is going to be okay overy losing the dog. Tell that neighbor his vision needs to be checked.I would be devasted.I lost my dog of 18 years last summer and I still can't stand it.I am glad you found a dog that is a carbon copy I just hope he is just as protective of your kiddo. Bless you guys and what you have been through. Cyndi B > > For the very greatest most part, this list may argue and disagree - we all > afterall are different and see things differently.
