| We can have raccoons, bats etc. in our houses. I had chip monks under my front porch since the fall and they are now gone, they drove my dogs mad not being able to get to them. The darn little things dug under ground by my bricked fireplace. Now you can pick up all kinds of diseases from shopping carts so bring your wetwipes before grabbing the cart.7 years ago I lived in town and I lived on busy streets, I was on my front porch drinking coffee and a 6 point buck (deer) run from my back yard through my front yard and toward a golf course I lived about a mile from. MInd you the golf course started at the edge of intown houses. My little yorkie jumped out of my hands and ran after the animal. I had to run down the street after him.
What I am trying to get at is we try to do the best given the situation and the information we have towards all of our children.
we shouldn't beat ourselves up for the times our best wasn't good enough. |
