When I think about the Iraq War which I personally support (I plan to enlist with my boyfriend when we both graduate this June in the Army) I think of what my grandparents say about the Vietnam War. First my grandparents have an uneasy relationship with each other all because of their respective Vietnam experiences. My mother’s parents both met while actively demonstrating against the Vietnam War. They tell me tantalizing bits and pieces of their life style but never want to tell the whole story. For example they believed in free love and acid and some other stuff like that. When I try to ask them more they shut up and change the subject. Free love I believe is sex outside of marriage(they are married) They hated the Vietnam Veterans and my other grandfather is one who saw heavy combat. He still gets PTSD symptoms even today. Once over Thanksgiving they got into an argument and called my other grandfather a baby killer. Hell broke loose. He started to cry and had to go home.

my puppy is 11 months old. i could not house train him, he ate everything in my house. he got loose into my infant’s diapers one night (outside) and spread the diapers all over my yard and both my neighbors. he jumps on me and tries to bite me (im the one that feeds him and takes care of him) he attacks my 3 legged cat whenever he can, hes eaten over 250 dollars worth of goods/appliances in my house, he scratches my child instead of licking, he is a mix of a pitt bull and a min pin. he is sweet in nature, i know he means well, but he is such a hassle for me. ive had to put him on a lead because he digs 2-3 foot holes in the yard. im used to labs, being all sweet and loving. is it just me not being used to other breeds, or is this dog really just too much? I know he is a puppy, but i got him for free and hes destroyed over 200% of his worth in my home. hes not worth keeping in my eyes but my husband loves puppies. how can i talk him into getting another breed?
