It was, however, mostly hollow and had SIGNIFICANTLY less mass than an asteroid. If I were to throw a roll of paper towels at you that&#039;s a foot long at you and then throw a rock that&#039;s 10&#039; x 10&#039; at you, which one cause more damage to your body?

I would expect to see pets in there. Home Depot, however, is one of the stores that has banned dogs except for service dogs, so you might want to rethink that. For your many years of training and obvious respect of appropriate and inappropriate times to have your dog with you, you get a thumbs-up from me.

Professional Service It typically takes 18 to 24 months to train an assistance dog. This was simply her pet that she wanted to take with her on the bus. Plain and simple.

Their owner&#039;s life often depoends on it!

Even with that experience, however, I believe that taking a companion pet with you is neither necessary nor appropriate in most situations. If a mentally ill person reacts well to having a companion pet, that&#039;s fantastic, but the companion belongs at home. If the mentally ill person is not stable enough to go to Home Depot without their companion pet, maybe they shouldn&#039;t be using power tools. (It&#039;s an example only). All I am really trying to say is that people abuse the fact the some people have LEGITIMATE needs and have PROFESSIONALLY TRAINED dogs for those needs. This dog was obviously not trained to do it&#039;s job and did not belong in public places. If Ms. Williford had a professionally trained dog that was well behaved, this would have been a non-issue and none of us would have ever read this story.

I&#039;m TOTALLY supportive of &quot;Seeing Eye Dogs&quot; for the blind, but these &quot;companion&quot; dogs and such are a joke. (Not that dogs can&#039;t be companions). Leave your pets at home or in the car, people! Take them to the park, to the river, on a car ride, on a walk... but they do NOT belong in stores, restaurants, etc. It&#039;s obvious which ones are REALLY service dogs... and which are just rude people taking their pets with them. -Signed, a dog owner and animal lover Wed, 2 Dec 2009 15:36:52 +0000 http://www.katu.com/news/78312092.html#IDComment45535289 http://www.katu.com/news/78221797.html#IDComment45408216 You know, if we would get out nose out of other people&#039;s business and use all our troops to work and patrol in OUR country, we could sure clean up our slums, our ghettos, and our crime filled areas in this country.

Obviously, we don&#039;t want it in the hands of abusers, but I can&#039;t help but think there&#039;s a better option than to incinerate it all. :( Mon, 9 Nov 2009 21:43:37 +0000 http://www.katu.com/news/69596082.html#IDComment42610240 http://www.katu.com/news/national/64736242.html#IDComment39334601 I see it, rather, as us becoming more and more significant. Until you can show me another life form from another planet, we still remain the only planet with life as we know it. That&#039;s pretty significant!

It AMAZES me how poorly written and grammatically incorrect KATU&#039;s articles often are!! It&#039;s not every article... but it IS every day that I can find obvious errors. It&#039;s like a bunch of middle school kids are writing this stuff. Either that, or it is a sign of the times and how poorly educated our kids are coming out of school these days. Very disappointing to see this low quality of work from a major news station.

WHY... on a holiday weekend, does geocaching.com have to be down?? AGH!
