Child Anti-Spanking Law proposed in California

I was surprised to find out my girlfriend was never spanked as a child but given a time-out to think about what she did wrong. A time-out?! If I was given her punishment I wouldn’t be thinking about WHAT I did wrong but rather HOW NOT TO GET CAUGHT the next time.

On the other hand I grew up in a world where spankings were not only common, but also part of my decision making process. If I had any thoughts of acting out in a way which under-minded my parents’ teachings, I would first have to weigh the consequences. If I mess up and get caught, would it be worth spanking when I got home? Sometimes the reward out-weighted the consequences, sometimes it didn’t but the point is, I’d always have that thought in the back of my mind. Self-discipline if you will.

 

Sleeping Spudgy

Saw this dog on Inside Edition’s Preview last night, he’s a 10-year old Pomeranian named (Sleeping) Spudgy. According to multiple artices in the online community, Spudgy can only breath through his mouth but otherwise is in perfect health.

I watched this video 4-times and still can’t stop laughing …
