You were right to make them wait. Baby rabbits are very hard to bottle feed because they don't take to it as easily as a kitten or even a dog might. I have had rabbits who have abandoned their babies but it didn't help when we tried to bottle feed the babies. The kid can wait you definitely did the right thing.

Short answer, no. Marijuana does almost nothing bad for your system. It can stop the growth of cancer, halt Alzheimer's in its tracks, help those with Asthma, allow you to philosophize, calms you down, etc. etc.

Its only the government and the propaganda that has made marijuana out to be a criminal. Alcohol and tobacco are much worse drugs then marijuana, and nobody gets their kids taken away for just that.

Marijuana has never killed anyone in recorded history, and yet it's still illegal.

Basically, no. Marijuana should not cause the courts to take her kids away, it might depending on what state you live in, but it shouldn't be the "taking your kids away" factor. She isn't choosing drugs over her kids, in a sense that she's doing something that every sourced study done on marijuana has said causes very little harm to your system.

Marijuana is NOT a gateway drug. The only connection that could cause marijuana to be the "gateway" drug is that people could be in contact with dealers that deal harder drugs, and that might somehow get them to try those harder drugs. If it were legalized and controlled, sold like cigarettes in 7/11's, then there would be no gateway effect.

Hi Joan, I just wanted to say hi. I am sure that Angel is very healthy, as Om Himself has insured me that she is normal and all is well. Take care and have fun on your vacation.

I grew up with guns. RR play guns as a little kid, BB guns when I turned 6, a pellet gun when I turned 10 and a deer rifle when I turned 12. It wasn't just me either, it was every boy around where I grew up. They would even give us time off from school to go deer hunting. None of us grew up to be killers. I didn't even carry one as a tramp when most everybody else did.

We were taught about guns from the time we were babies. we would never point a gun at someone so yes, it is the person's fault who doesn't teach their children about guns and gun safety. How do you know they aren't going to be around them just because you won't allow it in your home? Guns don't kill people, people kill people!

Well I agree with the first answerer. There has to be rules and boundaries for it. But the fact is that our society relies mostly on communication. This is the age of technology and communicating and so it is a necessity. But it can also be harmful if it becomes an addiction or an uncontrolled habit. For example when a child becomes addicted to video games or 'leapsters' as you put it, that is really unhealthy and the child should be monitored and should not be allowed to do it all day. Regardless of what year it is or how far advanced we are, children still need to interact and play with other children as well as to get a lot of physical exercise daily. So I am all pro tech toys as long as chores have been done, naps taken, and playing outside has exhausted itself. The use of these items should be limited to certain parts of the daily schedule and not the entire daily schedule. Just like tv should be limited to only 1 hour a day etc…

I had the same problem with my collie.
We ended up keeping that toy for "special use".
When we are doing agility training the toy comes out and it the biggest motivation for her. When she completes an exercise well we throw the toy. She quickly learned that the way to get her toy was by listening.

In other words to use the favourite toy as a training aid??

Actually, our livers and kidneys really do an amazing job of filtering toxins out of our bodies throughout our lifetime. So, most of those things do not worry me.

I do agree with you about the growth hormones, though. I only buy hormone free dairy, and limit the red meat in our house.
