Today, after finally getting my newborn baby to sleep, I made a sign to put on the door asking people not to knock or ring the bell, since our 3 dogs will bark loudly and wake the baby. When I went to print the sign, my dogs barked like crazy at the sound of the printer. FML

What was so wrong with using a hand written note?

Why do you have THREE dogs with a newborn in the house? Dogs have to be accustomed to living with babies or something bad could happen. My parents had to get rid of their beloved dog after I was born because he wasn't used to babies and was a danger to me. You have THREE running around, and you don't have enough common sense to use a pen and paper instead of a noisy printer to post a note? Also, if people can't knock or ring the doorbell, what are they supposed to do? Stamp their feet? YDI

So you get rid of your dogs, which are your family, because you have a kid? Insensitive much? If the dogs might be a problem you just keep them separated from the baby. There are these things called doors and baby gates. We have 3 dogs and one attacks us all the time. We won't be getting rid of him or our other two when we have kids. The mean dog will be kept in his pen and the others will be separated if they pose a problem but I'll bet right now they stay away because the baby's crying will scare them off.

1. They got rid of the dog because it was dangerous to you. Not that ALL dogs are dangerous to children. How do you think dogs become accustomed to babies? By being around them. If the dog is a problem then you either put it outside, a seperate part of the house or slowly acclimate them to the baby. Or you find a nice home for it so that the dog is not just tossed out on the street. However, getting rid of it JUST because you have a baby is stupid. Unless the dogs have attacked the child, there is no reason to get rid of them. 2. The baby will need to get used to sleeping through noise, since the world will not go on silence for it. What she needs to do is train the dogs better. At some point she will need to use the printer while the baby is asleep. Training the dogs not to bark would make this all simpler.

You should have just wrote it with a thick marker. Just as good and less noise.

Why did you print a sign? Could you not have just written one out?

119- My friends used used to just make up random syllables to fill in the words they didn't know and then they'd scream, and I mean scream, the 'word' "YIPPY-I-O!". Lol. God, I momentarily hated car rides when that song came on. :p

why didn't you write it instead of typing it?

Three dogs and a new born baby. Do you even realise how dangerous that is? No matter how friendly they may be, they are still wild animals and can go back to their natural instincts at anhy time, which is to kill. I do feel bad that they woke the baby up though. But you still deserve it for being so irresponsible.

Killer instincts huh? I have three dogs. Two of them live in the back yard. All they do is sit around the pool, bark at rabbits and try to lick everyone they see. Kids pull on their ears and they just kiss them. Not even a nibble. The other one is inside and while she barks at nearly everything, when you tell her to "shut up" in ever a whisper she just wags her tail and thinks she is hot shit. None of our dogs have ever bitten anyone. Sorry if you had bad experiences with dogs, but millions of people own dogs as pets. If they were that dangerous they would have been outlawed as pets.

#212 you are ******* retarded. while there are a very few breeds of dogs that should be supervised around kids, the vast majority of dogs see children as a ward that they must protect from harm, laying their lives down for them if need be; a small god to be worshiped and adored. when i was a child we had several dogs, and i would bite their ears, pulls their tails, stick my fingers in their eyes etc. and they never once retaliated. maybe you should try owning a dog before spewing bullshit about them.
