“…an extremely mean small dog…”
Isn’t that sort of a redundancy?
When I was a kid, I used to have a paper route (you know, the kind where you rode a bike instead of driving around in a car and flipping the paper out the window) and the little dogs were usually the nastiest. I played soccer when I was a kid, too, and it was good to be familiar with free kicks and side volleys.
In the Olympian.com, some idiot wrote “at least he’s in a better place”. How is being dead a better place? I wish people would use their brains before they post gibberish like that.
