An Iowa man died over the weekend after police say he was fatally injured while saving the life of his 5-year-old daughter who had been mauled by a dog.
This makes me so sad … and frustrated, and angry. My heart is heavy and I pray comfort and blessings upon those who lived … and my God welcome and hold close – the man – the father and husband … that was killed.
I have written many times of the subject of killer dogs … literal deadly weapons when raised by so many people for so many wrong reasons. Personally, I believe the breeds in question – ought to be illegal. This is one kind of animal that man made common – that we can do without!
Killers* they are … born and bred to be.
*Not every single one, not all; I understand, and know for sure – there are exceptions!
Never the less, the breeds are prone … pre-determined genetically – to behave in very dangerous, very inhumane ways – particularly with an ‘eye’ toward small dogs, children, and even big strong adults when such situation presents.
A man [or woman] without a gun or weapon – and the determination to use it – will be killed if such a dog attacks. No doubt.
The breed(s) need to be outlawed.
Period.
I’m just sayin’ … .
The story today that prompted my remarks?
Hi there superb website! Does running a blog like this require a lot
of work? I’ve absolutely no understanding of coding but I was hoping to start
my own blog soon. Anyways, should you have any recommendations or tips for new blog owners please share.
I know this is off topic but I simply had to ask.
Many thanks!
Hello,
If you’re real – thanks for taking the time to read some of my thoughts and compositions. I say ‘if’ because you wouldn’t believe the SPAM, etc. that comes with a published blog.
To answer your question – I use standard WordPress with a few tweaks that are very easy to learn based on one’s own needs.
I like to write a story in MS Word and just send it to an email – and voila – it’s published -just as I wrote it. Instantly. Simple.
It takes a minute to learn WP but its really, really, really user friendly. Learn it and you can do most anything … simply.
It can also be done cheaply. A domain, a basic hosting plan – less than $5 a month. Lots of deals all the time – I support a small company that began in Lithuania called Hostinger [never godaddy!].
I like to write; it’s fun – and, at the end of the day – I feel that I, at least, expressed what I feel in my heart – and I sleep better.
I’m Just Sayin’ … .
Thanks for writing,
Jerry
PS Oh, if it helps, the email to publish app is free – available through the WP blog app [also free]. It’s called “Postie” [easy to find after you install WP].
