I am known to many to have a strong personality. People would not see me sooo affected with almost everything. I always tell people that life is too short to not stay happy. But most of the times, I keep on telling myself, "Smile,...

That bad mom is me, by the way. Dearra has had a bad headache since Monday night. It's finals week so she's been toughing it out, but then I've been picking her up. This morning she had a science final and PE, so I told her...

SuzzetteMB Don't feel too bad. It seems as though she is old enough to differentiate. I would maybe just talk to her about the difference and why you said it would be ok to do that. Sometimes different situatons call for different measures. I am not looking forward to...

There are big things we can do to help others and there are little things we can do to help others or make others happy. It's nice to simply be able to put a smile on someone's face. What are some random acts of kindness that you...

SuzzetteMB Yes! That is so true! Sometimes, that's all people need to hear. I wish it were more common practice to be polite. You sound very kind, especially to be sympathetic to others in who work with the public. I work in food service right now, while I am finishing...

Hello. I was just wondering how other cultures felt about dressing their pets up - especially dogs. It is very common here in the US. Some say it can be considered animal cruelty to dress your dog up, though, and I am not sure...

SuzzetteMB Intersting. Yes, here it is very popular. And it's not in Puerto Rico.. so I guess it just depends on the country. It does seem though, that "financial class" seems to play alittle bit of a role from country to country. Another MyLotter mentoined money, and...

SuzzetteMB True. I can see what you are saying. It really is their nature to not be clothes - the way it was intended to be. I would never want my dog to feel uncomfortable in any way. Thanks, Alvaro, for your comments.

How do you all handle your various emotions and feelings? We all have our ups and downs. Times of saddness, hurt, anger, frustration, disappointement, etc. are especially hard to deal with. Personally, I discuss my feelings. I...

SuzzetteMB She did finally open up and speak with him about what has been bothering her. I guess she just needed a little bit of time. He was happy to be there for her as a shoulder to cry on and he is feeling better, too, because he was able to be there emotionally for...

SuzzetteMB LOL! yes, I know. You do sometimes get funny looks if the dog is dressed up. We put my dog in shirts sometimes, too. And she actually seems to like them. But then there are those who dress them in uncomfortable clothes and inappropriate clothes as well. Thanks...

SuzzetteMB Yes, I can see what you mean in that it might be uncomfortable for them. They really aren't meant to wear clothes, so I can definitely see what you are saying. It is sort of like toying with them, I guess. Almost like a little girl wouldplay dress up with her...

SuzzetteMB LOL! That's funny. So, again, it seems slightly common in your country then. Thanks for your comments. I am enjoying the viewpoints of many different groups of people. Thanks very much. I am surprised though, that you have not yet seen this in person yet. You...

SuzzetteMB Okay. I see. While some of the countries of Europe and of the East seem to be starting to dress their dogs, South America does not particularly do this. I can see where it is definitely not necessary, especially in such warm climates. Interesting that you...

SuzzetteMB Yes, I pretty much think the same way. As long as it does not seem to harm the animal, then I think I am ok with it. But I have seen some internet articles on how it can be considered cruelty. I think it's only cruel in situations where the waether does not...

SuzzetteMB Yes, I am seeing that people who are against it, are REALLY against it. It makes sense to me that dogs really should not have to be dressed, except for out of necessity. I still am not sure exactly how I feel about it though. I guess my thinking is, does it...

SuzzetteMB Thanks for your response. Yes, I have a short-haired Boston Terrier who needs a sweater sometimes if it's cold in the winter. I live in Florida, so it does not get as cold as you mentioned! WOW! I do think it tends to be more of a fashion kind of thing. Where...

SuzzetteMB Yes, this is true. They do have the fur on their skin so I don't think that people are dressing their dogs up for that reason. I think it's just to make them look cute. Well, we do put a sweater on my dog in the winter when it does get cold here. So maybe...

SuzzetteMB Thank you. Yes, there certainly are unruly children at his age who are difficult to manage. I see it often. I think for us, it's a matter of me being aware of his limits. I know that when he is tired and it's past the time of his normal nap, that he can become...

SuzzetteMB Yes, you are correct. I am not that familiar with medical professions so I probably should not have just assumed that was her position. But if she were a non-medical provider, then boy oh boy, she surely was not doing her job as a companion. How very sad it...
