    The Poo  was her descriptive. She had her own name.. Some of the latest designer jobs look just like her.. The advantage was, hair got longer and longer but never fell out out. Unfortunately, it got longer and longer in the nether regions😧 . Dogs  can most definitely feel embarrassment  if such  things are not attended to regularly

    Just don't breed a poodle with a shih tzu in Finland. No one wants to explain that their dog is a Finish Shih tipoo.
    If you can keep your head, while those around you are losing theirs, you may not have grasped the seriousness of the situation.

    You have too much time on your hands, or seem to.  I can't believe you actually have with your 2 ankle biters. :D

    Is any death worse than any other?
    I see the same that losing a 9 year old life is so sad because they haven't 'lived', but is it worse than say a 30 year old who may have kids?
    Killing is what's wrong isn't it? And don't we end up normalising murder if we only baulk at the exceptional? What about that 16 year old who was stabbed? Or the person killed by their partner?
    Why is it only shocking when a youngster or an old person dies?

    Is any death worse than any other?  An absolute 'Yes' from me.  If drug dealers want to go around killing each other, let them get on with it as long as they don't drag innocent members of the public into it.

    I find murder shocking always, although less so when it's something like criminals or gang members killing each other. Trouble is, innocent people get in their way as well as youngsters who have got involved in a gang but aren't really hardened criminals yet.

    surely criminals and gang members still have family and friends who feel their loss as much as the loss of Non criminals?

    I'm sure that they do, but when they get killed I don't find it as shocking as I find other murders. It's a dangerous lifestyle.

    Apparently the guy they were after when the little girl was shot it a career criminal who had been out of prison for less than a year.  Out following early release!
