Dixie Belle,
Thanks for the explaning the situation a
little bit; but "playing around" with a
child's mind like that is sick.Most young
children take things said by an adult
literally and believe it absolutely.
I've lived around country folk all my
life and know what you mean by the "dog is
a dog" attitude.Hopefully all children
nowadays can learn a newer & better way
to treat all animals. This world is a cruel
place sometimes but we can still try to
teach children that there are better ways
of dealing with problems.
