Re: Two Questions ...
Don't matter....the dog you can shoot and the kids you can sell. Or you can take the kids swimming at Lake Powell off a rented houseboat and show them the nice hidey-hole under the swim platform.
Seriously though, I have three kids and two dogs and while I occasionally want to kick them all, I wouldn't give any of them up for the world. 'Course I wouldn't leave the kids alone with an open can of paint either....Momma didn't raise no fool.
