I agree, and this could be a very good warning and sign before something more tragic happened with kids. i'm not gonna be the one to suggest getting rid of the dogs though....

Why won't you be the one to suggest getting rid of the dogs?

That sounds like the start of a family feud. You can certainly ask questions though.> Are you sure the kids will be safe after something like this happened?, Are you worried about something happening to the kids?

There are always ways to get your point across without "telling" someone what to do. You could also blame us, say "people online think the children may be at risk"

You can't blame an animal lover for loving animals. She was clearly just trying to help them. Just a shitty deal all around. Something needs to be said though. What if one of the kids is running around with a twinkie and the dog decides it wants the twinkie?

I hope I don't come across as callous. I grew up on a farm and witnessed the birth and death of animals 100 times over. I've pulled live lambs out of dead ewes. I would never intentionally hurt an animal, but I would never compromise my life/family/finances/dinner for an animal. Just me.

Good luck freeze, and never bring your kitty to your sisters place!

Suggesting and telling are two incredibly different things. In my opinion, suggesting includes asking the questions you mentioned. It can also include suggesting the right thing to do without telling them they have to do it.

Sometimes people are torn by emotion and might make a terrible decision if someone close doesn't suggest a better solution. If done properly, there is no reason for it to become a feud.

I think we're on the same page.
