"We did the best we could."
Chris Cuomo's moving interview with Aaron Fisher, 18, otherwise known as "Victim Number 1" is so important we thought it deserved its own post.
How did teachers, principals, police, investigators, prosecutors, Pennsylvania's Office of Children, Youth and Families (CYS), therapists and two grand juries let Jerry Sandusky continue to molest children for three years after Aaron first reported the abuse to them? Chris Cuomo tries to find out why, and hold people accountable."Why are you moving so fast now when you moved so slowly when Aaron needed your help?" Cuomo shouts to a school principal running away from him. Karen Probst, mandated by law to report any abuse, instructed Aaron to go home and think about it when he first disclosed the abuse to her. She is still principal.
Will anyone ever be held accountable for the child abuse and child labor violations perpetrated against the Gosselin children for years? According to Robert Hoffman, he reported the child abuse allegations to CYS twice. Is this the best they could do?
Aaron's book Silence No More: Victim 1's Fight For Justice Against Jerry Sandusky is available for purchase on Amazon.com

Is this old maybe? Collin says he saw a bee. In October? I grew up not too far from there and never remember seeing in a bee in October even on warm days. I thought they went south or hibernated or something. Wonder if she recorded this awhile back and was looking for things to exploit in her spare time and found it. Also she will never admit that Cara and Mady were with their father. I'm sure one of the locals will chime in and say yes they saw bees all the time this week. :)
It is funny that not one of the kids says hi to Shoka. Seeing your pet at the end of the day or whenever you come home is so exciting at that age. Not one of the kids squealed with delight?
Not buying it.
By the way, the post from her blog that I posted is exactly the way she wrote it. She should learn to proofread a bit better-seems like she couldn't decide whether to call them Goss Trap or the Goss Van Trapp family.
Between eight kids who love animals, wouldn't one of them say "shoka shoka!" or something? I'm a blubbering idiot when I come home to my dog even after being gone a few minutes.
Also Shoka is left outside when they are out, or in the garage? Because sounds like they just pulled up. Poor guy.
Kate's singing hmmmmm okay.
At least the kids sound cute.
But I think this Kate's way of saying my kids can sing can I have a show?
And poor Shoka.
Her lame twitter fans will eat her singing up.
Kate keep your day job-(Snark)singing is not a career for you.
It’s really cute and it reminded me once again why I love being a mom of 8! Everything is 8 times the fun.. And when singing, we make our own chorus group! :) How fun is that??! Enjoy!
&&&
Yes of course there is all kinds of ulterior motives. She is so transparent it's laughable.
You see no mother who loves to sing G-rated songs from musicals from the 60's with her eight children would ever ever hurt them. How dare you suggest that. She loves them sooo much they just spontaneously burst into songs of happiness together. And her sheeple fall for it.
Never amazes me, how Kate can make doing errands sound like such a mega-dramatic chore. Some one here mentioned Bella bars the other day, so now Kates talking about them again, it's been a almost a month since she last mention them. And this singing with the kids, using the kids again.
I doubt that was done today. At the end she says "That's what your lunch IS." If they sang that on the way home from school today, wouldn't she say, "That's what your lunch WAS?"
I live in the middle Atlantic Region (DE, MD, eastern PA) and haven't seen a bee or wasp for a good while. A few crickets, spiders and those stink bugs on warm days....but no bees or wasps.
I hope Kate was paying attention to the road.
While she had her 8 singing into her Iphone.
Tucker's Mom - don't get too bummed. Kate said "the other day" so that could be a year ago in Katespeak.

She can't. She keeps getting fired.
She might have threatened them not to say a word when she said Hi Shoka. I agree it's weird not to greet the pet if he was there...we all do. The kids couldn't remember all the words...had to be prompted by Kate ( her voice is her greatest asset, ya know)She is determined they be like the Von Trapps. Why not just say 'my kids were singing?'She should have waited till Mady was there- I think she has the best voice.
This latest ploy of Kate's is laughable and oh so transparent. I too find it odd that out of 8 kids not one of them mentioned the dog when they got home. Kate knows damn well there has been a lot of talk lately about the whereabouts of Shoka and all of a sudden she says "Hi Shoka". She is killing herself trying to deflect from the book that she knows WILL eventually be back on the market. She really should spend her time in a therapist office to help her with the many serious issues she has.

Too funny! Thanks for the laugh, Auntie
If Shoka is still there, what the heck is he doing roaming the property while no one is home?
I like knowing that my dogs are safe and sound in my house when I'm away. I would never leave them in the back yard with no one home.
lol AuntieAnn!

"My six spontaneously broke out in song along the way"
So she whipped out her phone and hit record, while she was driving? I just hope this wasn't Sunday, when that guy tweeted about her making 2 u-turns and an illegal left turn. That was also the day someone else said they saw her texting on her phone while driving.
I ran errands today. Big deal. Did not come home and post it on Facebook either. And oh sure, the woman who uses her Iphone constantly while driving (hello officer?), STOPPED to unwrap a BellaBar and eat it. I think she gets some compensation from them for web hits so this cutesy song thing is a way of getting people over there. But I doubt BellaBars will be picking up any travel expenses or media tours for her. Chump change. No Career Kate.

Back to the Sound of Music, lol. They sound more like preschoolers than 8- and 12-year old kids.
And her "Hi Shoka" at the end. Do you hear him panting/barking in the background? Didn't think so.

Khate, the song's real title is "Do-Re-Mi".
Maybe you should teach your children the words to the song if you are going to make an impromptu audition tape.

She may not know the name of the song, but at least she knows that "la" comes after "sol". Gotta give her credit for that.
I wonder how long it will take Paige to make a video clip using that song. You just know that she will.

I don't understand the need to put a audio recording of her kids singing online- unless it's meant for family or very close friends (maybe).
Unfortunately, Kate is only giving her sheep what they want.
I feel sad saying this, but... it must kill her that her kids are not exceptionally talented. I mean, they just sound like a regular group of children- thank God.
Kate, stop offering up your children to strangers for entertainment. It's not worth exposing them to danger.
Tweet-le - lol. you're welcome. I'm beginning to think it's wrong to make jokes about someone who is so very mentally ill.

Yikes, the Goss Trap Family Players! Keep trying, Kate...(not).
I like how as the kids are singing, Kate says, "We're home! Hi Shoka!" But there's no barking, of course. Another ad by Kate to prove Shoka's there.
Sorry to repeat your comment, Improbable Dreams. I hadn't read very far up the thread and hadn't seen it. Great minds! WHERE IS SHOKA?
I have no words for this latest grandstanding on Kate's part.

Yes, she's Maria Von Trapp, all right! I feel so foolish. Why didn't I see that before?
Now, Kate, time to set up the puppet show that Uncle Steve--I mean, Max--gave the kids.
I had to go listen, ugh, WHY OH WHY? Goss-Trapp give me a break. More like Goss-crap
More like Goss-crap
*******
Line of the day!
I'd say the singing was "mediocre".
I'm glad to see all the time and money Kate spends on herself has finally qualified her for a job.
If I were Kate I would be mortified that I was even included in the same sentence as a porn site.
I'll give her one thing, you can't keep this woman down. If my world were falling apart like this I'd wouldn't get out of bed. It seems people want to see her humilate herself. She suffers one embarrassment after another and continues to keep her nose in the air.
One more thing,I thought a picnic included food?

Since CC isn't sponsoring her run this weekend in LA, think she'll still go??
Don't the Duggar's break out in song when in the car? Nice try Kate.
LOL, you guys owe me a Target gift card, *I* didn't listen,hahahhaha....
The bus song started to be as repetitious as "99 Bottles of Beer on the wall". Over and over and over and over...
But that's to my adult ears. Kids like repetitive songs. Well, at least they do when they are quite young.
aggiemom,
I didn't either, LOL!! No desire to hear her or her kids singing. B-O-R-I-N-G
Kate should have sung 'Let's start at the very beginning' etc to giv her great voice more featured time. Goss Crap (lol) indeed.

With the stories about dog abuse that are in the book, if Kate plans to run in LA this Sunday, she'd better reconsider. The main charity that the race is sponsoring is the ASPCA.
Wouldn't put it past her to get a bark recorded from somewhere and add to the taped session of the Goss Crap Singers Part2.

Another thing to make me smile today; I don't have an 18 year old daughter going on 12.
@Dee3 -- I'm happy that I made someone else happy today. I love your posts! I think you are spot on with TLC's smoke and mirrors technique. I too believe that Kate's dysfunction has drawn many people into this discussion and I hope that everyone stays on the serious issue of children exploited by Reality TV as Kate goes down in flames. I also do not hold Jon Gosselin harmless in this discussion, but I see him as a clearly (as documented on TV) abused spouse so I do cut him a little slack.
@EM post 155. Yes! What you said.
@Gabby2. Thanks for the Martha Stout reference. I also like that book, scary as it is.
@Rhymes With Witch. I have nothing to say about Al W. Haven't read his book and don't want to. I'm a little puzzled that you disliked Polly Kahl's title so much though. It is "Jon & (this crossed out presumably because Jon had tried to stop filming when the book was published) Kate Plus Eight: The Selling of the Gosselins." I think that is precisely and exactly what TLC did: they took a dysfunctional family and white-washed and edited a lot of stuff and sold an illusion to the viewers.
Be that as it may, I do want to encourage people to read Polly's book because I think it has a lot to say. I genuinely like her book. I do agree (having taken a few minutes to look at Polly's response to Hoffman's book) that it seemed a little sour grapes, but I would encourage you not to throw the baby out with the bath water.
On "selling" families -- I think TLC has also done this with the Duggars, but are now preparing to throw that family under the bus almost as completely as they chucked Kate. The Duggar affiliation with Bill Gothard and ATI is apparently obvious in recent episodes. TLC has previously tried to edit out and conceal the Duggar involvement in what is (again just IMO) a rather dangerous cult. Now TLC has its pound of flesh from the Duggar family, they will dump the Duggars and expose their rather controversial religious affiliation to generate ratings. Just as they exploited the Gosselin divorce.
I apologise in advance if I offend any Christians here, but the Duggar family's ATI affiliation has very nasty undertones.
I shudder to think about what will happen to Alana and family. I watched that Dr Drew clip and I'm afraid I was rooting for Alana throughout! Go little girl! You are tired and sleepy so behave like a total brat! Be honest about your feelings because at least your Mama has not yet learned the Vulcan death grip that Kate Gosselin used on one of her kids in a similar situation.
@Heather, yes Alana was behaving like a brat in that clip. Mady Gosselin also behaved like a brat on many televised occasions but she was, and is, not a brat. Mady is a bellwether who spoke the truth and was punished for it.
This is really long, but while I'm on a roll, I'm actually rather torn on my opinion of Hoffman's book. I want to praise him to the heavens for dumpster diving and being brave enough to publish it in the face of Kate's attorney's threats and TLC's cease and desist.
On the other hand, while Kate's journal entries (and I think they are authentic) and the contract information (also IMO genuine) should be published -- there is a lot of stuff in there that appears more opinion than fact. I hope that Robert can prove his sources if challenged. I'm not taking his word as gospel for everything in the book.
I'm also not always a fan of his humor, and I really did not like his rather creepy tweets prior to publication. I hesitated on buying the book because of that, but am quite glad that my curiosty won out so that I bought it just a few minutes before the book was pulled from Amazon. I do hope he republishes a more carefully edited version.
Kate for the love of God and all things holy will you JUST SHOW US THE DOG AND LET US KNOW HE IS OK??!!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!

Me too! What was the point of that except to hope a producer picks them up (um no), "prove" Shoka is around, and/or show she has at least most of the kids. We sang songs on long road trips all the time. Who cares? We never recorded it. It was the 70s but we had a tape recorder. Never crossed anyones mind.
a twitter fan says:
I would do anything for the Gosselin kids/Kate
I guess those are the friends who would 'die' for her...

---------------------------------------------
It seems to me that TLC has been quite successful in gaining viewers from negative publicity.....so yes, I think they WILL gain viewers from this. HBB is being referred to in articles all over the internet as being a "huge hit" and to TLC as having "hit a goldmine". I think that all the controversy and negative press is just making it a bigger and bigger hit.
They realized this back during the Gosselin saga and they are repeating the same dynamic with this family because....it works and its working big-time for them with the negative HBB publicity....and I'm seeing this more and more as I read articles about the HBB phenomenon. You can almost track it.....the more negative publicity on the internet....the bigger a hit it becomes.
I finally finished watching all 10 episodes and one of the saddest things to me is that there are a million and one little scenes in the various episodes that show a really sweet and caring little Alana when she seems to be just being herself and not mugging for the camera (one example: the morning after Anna had been in the ER for early labor and then sent home, Alana goes to check on a sleeping Anna to make sure she's okay...and another example: when she's hugging glitzy the pig and having to say good-bye to it).....but they are on their way to creating a potential monster.
She's mugging more and more for the camera, screaming out almost every sentence......and just the Dr. Drew clip from this upcoming interview is quite a contrast from her earlier interviews a few months ago....(and not in a good way).
I heard someone on a show recently mention Kate G. and said something like (and I'm paraphrasing) 'Kate is getting more and more negative publicity but it seems to keep her in the spotlight'........and I absolutely think TLC has seen the pattern with Kate and is pushing the negative publicity of HBB......and is getting BIG results from it.
Alana will have to grow up and deal with all the insults and negative publicity all over the internet long after TLC drops them and moves on to the next family.
Kate is continuing to try to "play" us. Let's not fall for it this time. She deserves to be ignored as she still uses her children to promote herself. The children may or may not be talented. How would anyone know? She refuses to give them lessons such as gymnastics, acting, anything that takes money and time. I can still see the "free" piano setting at their old house because they didn't move it to the mcmansion. They left it behind! Sad, really. The kids would have had a great time playing it, or if she just couldn't stand to have the noise in the house, DONATE it. The piano cost them nothing and was brand new. You might say that has become a "burr in my bonnet." Not a giving to others bone in Kate's body.
I'm not going to listen to her latest scam. Let's see... she'd love to get the kids and herself on a kids' show so here's the Gosselin Crap Songfest audition and she just had to put that " Hi Shoka " in the recording because SHE KNOWS people are asking about the dog. You guys are saying not a peep from the kids yelling to the dog? Oh, what will her explanation be when word gets out the dog is either dead or removed to another home? She is incapable of telling the truth. She is mentally ill.

--------------------------
I can't bring myself to listen to it either yet. I'm curious....does Kate just say "hi Shoka" as an aside or is it said loudly so as to make sure everyone hears it? When I first read the comments here about the recording, my first thought was that it's an elaborate plan to quell the dog questions. People have been asking about the dog for quite some time.
Do German shepherds tend to bark when their family arrives? We have a sheltie and he barks like crazy....at everyone, including us. There would be no way to just say hi to the dog dismissively and he would just stand there or just trot away quietly...especially if there was a bunch of kids there.

I second this sediment (lol)
The Kate fans always want A SOURCE? LINK PLEASE? WHAT IS YOUR PROOF? They say YOU CAN'T JUST BELIEVE SOMETHING WITHOUT CONCRETE PROOF!
Saying hello to Shoka on a tape is absolute crap and proves nothing. This, from the woman who hired professional easter egg stuffers. Bitch please.
She can't post a picture of Shoka because he's not there any longer. I think she realizes she had better not try to pass off an old photo, because she will piss someone off and they will rat her out.
How truly small and pathetic this woman is, reduced to grasping at straws to try to piece together the shards of the complete fabrication of a life she invented. Sad, sad, sad, sad. Not for Kate, for the kids.
This is a bit long, bear with me,there IS a point to it.
In our local paper was an article from the Chicago Tribune, dated Monday, October 22, regarding the epidemic use of OTC painkillers among marathon runners and other athletes. It cited a runner who takes as many as 7 Extra strength Tylenol during a race: 2 at the beginning, 3at mile 18 and 2 at the end.The article makes it appear that OTC drug use is part of the culture for many runners.
Tylenol is cumulatively bad for the kidneys in large amounts. NSAIDS like Ibuprofen block prostaglandin, which is essential for building collagen.
Collagen is necessary to build muscles, bones and tendons;it also has an impact on healthy skin tissue.
Which leads me to wonder whether Kate's rapid decline in appearance has to do with overuse of these products while running, along with her box-o'-wine.
I, too, saw that clip of HBB with the stuff coming out of her nose and could not believe how long the person behind the camera kept filming. It was awful, and I felt sorry for little Alana. Not funny at all, just disgusting. That kind of exhibit is not entertainment at my house. That loving family is being portrayed in the worst light. So sad. I hope they are saving their money and are getting paid enough for being used up by TLC. It's so similar to what we saw years ago, just a different day and family. TLC needs new material.
A dog isn't and really shouldn't be barking at his own owners. But the voice memo is sensitive, it should at least pick up some panting or shaking himself out after waking up, something.
And yes the HI SHOKA was very loud and deliberate.
What do suppose the kids think when they hear her say "Hi Shoka"? Cannot fathom that one.
Oh dear god Paige - makes me so glad neither of my daughters were ever, ever that immature and pathetic.

We will paint the BBB ala Partridge Family Style!! C'mon Get Happy Ya'll!!!!!! I already know what I want to write on it ;)
Kate is a lunatic plain and simple and it's sad that she has no one to help because there is no one left to help
Now Paige and another enabler are talking about making the clip of the kids singing their ringtone on the phones. They better check with Kate first, she might want royalties.

**********************
You'd think by now that this fascination/love fest would have passed. I can remember, as a teenager, having crushes on celebrities (guys, of course), but it was one guy one week and another guy the next week. Idols were a dime a dozen, and we outgrew this fixation in no time.
Paige is pathetic, and I'm wondering if her parents actually know how deep her obsession is. Perhaps they do, and think that there's nothing they can do about it. There's something very wrong with this, and she is a troubled teenager. There's an underlying reason for this, and I'd run, not walk, to a professional who could help her.
"I like knowing that my dogs are safe and sound in my house when I'm away. I would never leave them in the back yard with no one home."
**************
You and me both. I even go outside with them when I'm home. I'm fanatical about it...constantly checking gates, under the fence (for holes). There was only one time when I let one of the dogs outside when I wasn't home, and it was in the fenced in area around the pool. We were late for school, rushing around, one of the kids was outside with the dog and somehow in the frenzy, she forgot to let the dog inside. I thought about it when I was halfway to school. Yep, I turned around, kids were late for school, but there was no way I was going to let that dog outside unattended, even if the entire area was fenced in, and even for a little while. It was panic time.

Between eight kids who love animals, wouldn't one of them say "shoka shoka!" or something? I'm a blubbering idiot when I come home to my dog even after being gone a few minutes.
Also Shoka is left outside when they are out, or in the garage? Because sounds like they just pulled up. Poor guy.
***********************
I've always been under the impression that the dog does not live in the house full time. I dont know why, but I think he is an outdoor dog except allowed in from time to time if one of the kids agrees to watch him and keep him away from Kate and her 'penalty of severness' areas.
I am sad that she posted something, anything, with her mentioning the dog. That means something is awful is up, he has not been safely and happily removed to another home.
Or maybe he has and in the months to come we will find out he was removed in September, and we will all say "AHA! That little singing thing was another lie!" I guess I am leaning towards that recording being made weeks and weeks ago.
I'm a little puzzled that you disliked Polly Kahl's title so much
though. (12) 48
Jill, once upon a time I was a regular reader at STG. On her blog, Polly talked about writing a book about kids in reality tv and
emphasized that that was what she was writing about over and over.
Suddenly the title focused on the Gosselins. It struck me as opportunistic and sensationalistic, especially from from a mental
health professional who was writing about the subject more generally.
It was enough to turn me off. Just speaking for myself.

What in the name of all that's holy was that? I took the bait and listened. Bad move on my part.
No panting/barking. No excited (or quizzical) responses from the kids.
Mystifying, no?
I'll bet she was saying "Hi Shoka!" to a portrait.

It makes my stomach turn. I think we need to get back to posting chapters of the book - not that I want to re-read it all again (it really was so upsetting) but to let newbies to this blog and others know exactly how terrible Kate was and most likely, still is. I certainly have no reason to think she's changed.

and the family one: ex-husband, parents, rest of family.
I am reading these recent posts about Kate and the work 'slither' keeps coming to mind. For whatever reason.
And I agree 110% with the folks who say Steve is feigning a romantic interest in Kate to get in her head and influence the amount of money he makes off the children. I have long said he started doing that to get her to mind him in public so she wouldnt act like her usual screeching lunatic self; TLC would think of him as a miracle worker and be eager to keep him around. It all evolved from there. After all the plastic surgery and she started looking like a 1980's blow up doll, which apparently is Steve's idea of a hot number, he really thought more offers would be pouring in for her and he had to do everything he could to keep her and her checkbook on a leash. So he stepped up the fake romantic longing. I think he slept with her once or twice, just to keep her hanging on the line waiting for more, probably marriage.
She was a mentally unstable easy mark right from the start and Jon was too easy going and (sorry) trusting and dumb. Jon didnt see what what those 2 were up to till it was way too late.

What do suppose the kids think when they hear her say "Hi Shoka"? Cannot fathom that one.

Is she so cruel, so mentally ill, that she would say "hi Shoka" if the dog wasn't there and say it in front of the kids? Oh wait, I read Hoffman's book :( If RH knows anything about the dog, I wish he'd speak up.

I bet Milo falls asleep to Kate's voice tonight. Instead of counting sheep, she'll play that over and over again, imagining that Kate and the kids are singing just to her, and she's singing back to them:
miloandjack
@Kateplusmy8 Woah woah ...yay yay...Kate loves her kids every single day...she'll love them twice as much 2morrow...

Why does Kate attract these loonies? It's a case study of adult women having the maturity of a teenager. They just never grew up.

That picture is one of a set taken for People magazine a couple of years back iirc. The colors are darker here. The photo on the cover was really photoshopped- the kids did not look much themselves at all, and there were weird things like too many fingers or missing limbs in the awful final piece.

I'm not going to listen to her latest scam. Let's see... she'd love to get the kids and herself on a kids' show so here's the Gosselin Crap Songfest audition and she just had to put that " Hi Shoka " in the recording because SHE KNOWS people are asking about the dog. You guys are saying not a peep from the kids yelling to the dog? Oh, what will her explanation be when word gets out the dog is either dead or removed to another home? She is incapable of telling the truth. She is mentally ill.

To me, it looks as if someone was playing with Photoshop and used this pic to practice. The faces seem distorted. Is that what you're referring to?
As far as the bee sightings go..I live in Michigan and was watching the bees and wasps outside my kitchen window today. They're still around.
Two things: I live in central Ohio, and I had to kill a yellow jacket that flew into my window at work yesterday. It's possible there was a bee in Pa.
And, we have a German Shepherd and a Cockapoo. The German Shepherd NEVER barks when we come home. The Cockapoo starts barking as soon as he hears us coming. The Cockapoo is in a crate while we're gone, the GSD isn't, so I think the Cockapoo is just anxious to get out of his bed.
But overall he barks way more than the big dog does. He barks when he chases his ball, when he begs for a bone, when the cat walks by, when he sees his reflection in the window, when . . .(you get the idea.)

--------------------------
I can't bring myself to listen to it either yet. I'm curious....does Kate just say "hi Shoka" as an aside or is it said loudly so as to make sure everyone hears it? When I first read the comments here about the recording, my first thought was that it's an elaborate plan to quell the dog questions. People have been asking about the dog for quite some time.
Do German shepherds tend to bark when their family arrives? We have a sheltie and he barks like crazy....at everyone, including us. There would be no way to just say hi to the dog dismissively and he would just stand there or just trot away quietly...especially if there was a bunch of kids there.
*****************************************
I've had 2 German Shepards (loves of my life!)and when I come home, even after only an hour or two, they both "happy cry" I call it. It's very loud and it continues until I pet them and give them hugs, kisses. From my experience with German Shepards (over 14 years)Shoka was NOT there. You would of heard him. Unless he is just terrified to greet them.
Another thing Kate Gosselin is guilty of is leaving Shoka outside in the cold and rain all night, most times as a ‘punishment’ for his misbehaving, or acting like a dog. He’s left alone in the dark howling to come inside. I’ve heard it and I’ve heard about it.

Shoka’s Second Blog OCTOBER 5, 2011 Dear Humans, It may sound odd, but if you enclose me inside, and I would rather be outside enjoying the fresh air – the smell of dead animals I’ve hunted, the farmers’ cows’ poo poo, or the scent of the deer that play out front. I’ll just help myself, slide the glass door open, and let myself out! No big deal, I know you’re all busy, trust me. I live here and see the chaotic commotion all day, every day! So, don’t mind me, I have it all figured out! Oh, did you switch the lock to keep me in on rainy days and at night? Funny, I hadn’t noticed – I’ll just flip it the other way before nudging the door back a crack and then sticking my nose in the little slit until it’s open enough for me to slip out. There’s just one thing – just like the kids – I leave the doggone door open every time! Dogs! Ya can’t live with us, but I know you can’t live without us! Woof! Shoka

Please add another vote to the tally! More chapters, please, to help broadcast the real Kate Gosselin to the world
Dear Humans… JANUARY 23, 2012 Dear Humans – When the day is dark and it’s cold and rainy outside, why oh why must I come inside? You call me and call me and I don’t come to the door…. mostly because I do not want to come inside but also because I do not like to be dried off with my soft blue towel. When I finally come to the door, after you call me repeatedly using both my first AND middle names, “Shoka Joe, come NOW!”, I stand politely and patiently yet miserably, with my dog eyes, while you dry me off and give me a treat… Thank you for my dry milkbone biscuit…. but don’t you know I do some of my best hunting in the inclement weather… and that the best barking finds on my property are when the smells are heightened in the rain? I do not care that my freshly groomed fluffy fur emits a smell like… well, a dog (gasp!)! Why then must you care? Oh, my humans, I do love you, so I come when you call me, even if a bit reluctantly, but please just once can’t you forget about me and let me stay outside and get all dirty and soaked to the bone? It’s so much wagging fun! I try to behave when you call me in, but just to “help” you with the drying process, I just HAVE to shake my entire lovable self and spray you with my good wet smell! For some reason, that upsets you…. Could it be because you don’t love me or is it because you are all dressed up in hair, makeup and heels ready to go away and you are offended by my canine scent? It’s a ruff life being a spoiled Shepherd but, well, some dogs gotta do it…

I've just skimmed through the comments and haven't read all of them yet, so please excuse if I am repeating what many others have said.
First, I won't listen to her recording of the singing. Second, all kids simultaneously broke out in the same song? We had 5 kids in our family and never agreed on the same song all at once.
Third, from the comments, Kate stops to say hi to Shoka. Was the gate opened that they just pulled in and Shoka was there? Lastly, when we pulled up, you could hear our dog barking from inside the house! He was that loud because he was so excited that we were home. No bark from Shoka? Sorry, I don't believe the dog is there. It's just more of Kate's BS.
Regarding HBB on Dr. Drew; first I never thought of him as a valid doctor. Not once he started selling his patients' privacy and problems for his own personal gain. Second, HBB is obviously acting out and I think this is too much to put on this little one's shoulders. She is tired, said she didn't like doing the show, her friends treat her differently, and yet her mom tried to insist all was good. Mind you, I didn't watch the show. I'm going by the comments here and the brief clip I saw of it.
It's tragic. Another family that will not listen to what their child(ren) are saying. It may be fun in the beginning, but they don't like it and want it to stop. However, the parents signed a contract and now the child has to go on whether she wants to or not. How sad.
By the way, my name is not a secret code about my impression of Kate; it's an honest statement about my feelings for my grandsons!
Wayward, do you mean that song-- "Come on Get Happy?" I love it!... 70's kid.
I bet Milo & Jack LOOOOOOOVES that song (NO Gs ;) Hit it everyone!!

concern?! I have also figured out a good schedule for him including his two meals a day, trips to the groomers and vet twice a month and his inside/ outside schedule. Luckily, the kids help me take care of him. They feed him each morning and night. They also let him in at night and out in the morning. They are also very good at remembering to let Shoka in when even the teensiest drops of rain begin to fall. We like his fluffy fur to stay clean and fluffy and not get wet and (gasp!) smelling like dog!

Kate you're not Maria, you're the Baroness. The kids really weren't crazy about her, but they pretended to be to please their father whom they adored.
On Easter Sunday, 2012 – four months after Kate blogged about dogs choking on certain toys and plastic bread wrappers – and with ‘1,400’ stuffed, plastic Easter eggs laying all over her property, Shoka was aloud to run free, eating as many sharp, plastic eggs as he could, while Kate was in the house drinking wine. (She tweeted the photo of the wine telling us what she was doing.) At one point, Shoka was even eating them directly out of the garbage bag used to carry them around the yard by a stranger who layed them out for the kids. His entire head was in the plastic bag eating the plastic Easter eggs. Kate never once set foot outside to check on him. It’s a miracle poor Shoka is still alive. UPDATE: July 8, 2012, Kate in her never-ending need to Tweet every, gave us a hint at her relationship with Shoka when she proudly announced to a Tweetie: EmCr68 @Kateplusmy8 Have fun when he comes to give you his big ole good night kiss!! @EmCr68 he knows he’s not allowed to give me any kisses ever so no worries there! Lol

I live in upper NY. We had a bee in our classroom yesterday.
As far as Kate saying hi to Shoka. We know he can write a blog, so shouldn't he be able to say hi to the family when they arrives home? LOL
Oh Aggiemom, that is so sad. The book is so disturbing. Yes, we need to continue on with the chapters. I had to skip some parts because it was too intense.
When she said "Hi Shoka" either he was there or he wasn't. If he wasn't then Kate is even more mentally ill than we thought. If he was there she drove by his pen and said Hi Shoka as an aside. IMO

I dont think the kids faces are real. Looks like a bad photo shop - computerized age progression thing. It isnt the first time something like that has been used with Kate so that she could pose without those pesky FUNFUNFUN! kids anywhere near her.

I haven't kept up on Kate or her Twitter in a few days. I'll go check it out, to see what's new you guys were speaking of later.
Something I've been meaning to mention here since Kate started tweeting, is some nasty words she said in regard to Jon's attention.
Kate said on camera, during one of the last seasons (post split)- that Jon would use his cell phone, and she felt this was ignoring their children. Kart said she is NEVER on her cell phone, unless absolutely necessary! She blasted his parenting skills by saying, "When I'm here... I'm here. I'm never playing on my cell phone. The kids always have my undivided attention."
So much for that! Kate now sends tweets during what should be quality Mad-Libs time with her tweens. Seriously, Kate does that-- hypocrite.
Sorry for that awful link, I dont how to make it better. :-/
From ASPCA:
"... people who intentionally hurt animals because they enjoy hurting things, or because it makes them feel powerful. Many of these people would hurt other people if they could get away with it. They just choose to hurt animals because animals are more helpless than people.
Why do these people hurt animals? There are different reasons. A lot of these people want to have control over others. They will hurt an animal because they think this means they control the animal. Or they may hurt the animal to control another person. For example, a husband might hurt the family's pet to show his wife what he could do to her if she doesn't obey his commands."

Seems to me her control issues extended to the dog too.

What if the kids know the dog is buried on the property? I can see me pulling up towards the backyard and saying somberly "Hi Sweetie the Goldfish, Hi Henry the Turtle, Hi Polly the Parakeet" to all the kids little pets buried in the back yard in shoeboxes.

Driving the wrong way on a one way street. Driving with no headlights at night. Driving at very high speeds. Swerving across three lanes of traffic to exit… at high speeds Making U turns across two lanes of traffic. Speeding through residential neighborhoods. Running stop signs. Running red lights. Driving while talking on the phone and drinking coffee. With her kids in car. I have personally witnessed Kate Gosselin doing all of the things listed above. My greatest fear for the Gosselins is that this story is going to end in tragedy – for one or more of the kids – because of Kate’s driving and her belief that God has a time in mind for her and everyone else to die and that time and place is pre-determined. Therefore, she believes that she can’t do anything to alter that plan, so she thinks nothing of driving erratically at speeds over 100 mph – with kids in the car – while talking on her cell phone. The phone is always in her hand when she’s driving, as is her ever-present coffee cup. I’ve seen her driving at very high speeds while talking on her phone with her left hand and holding a coffee and the steering wheel with her right hand. 100 MPH + Cell Phone + Coffee + Children screaming = DISASTER Kate drives in and out of traffic at high speeds, switching lanes and cutting other drivers off without signaling, driving at night without headlights to lose the paparazzi, and worst of all, speeding through residential neighborhoods where other people’s children are outside playing, sometimes driving the wrong way on a tight one-way street. I’ve seen it, many times. That’s her sure-fire way to lose us because she knows that we’ll back off when she hits the neighborhoods. Nobody wants to be responsible for helping Kate to kill herself or her children. I’ve taken photos and video and the paps have as well, through the windshield of my car, showing the speedometer as well as Kate’s car in front of me – driving in excess of 100 mph.

================
Baloney. Those kids could be in their rooms, or watching a movie, or playing loudly downstairs, and they'd never know if there were 60 mph winds and a tornado warning outside, or if there's a downpour going on. What do they do...run to the door every few minutes to see if there's the 'teensiest' drop of rain falling?
The hubs and I had a golden retriever, a german shepard, and my daughter had a small terrier mix. None of these dogs liked being banished outside when their family was home (except the golden when it was raining). They went out to do their business and usually wanted to come in after awhile unless we were out there with them.
The golden, oh my gosh! We got him as a pup and at the time our backyard used to flood when it rained. We'd let Jake out and he would literally ROLL in the water in the backyard! He loved it! It drove my crazy, but the hubs said that was his nature and catorgized him as a hunter and water dog. Well, Jake lived up to it!
We had a couple of sheet towels that became Jake towels just to try to clean him enough to get him in the house so we could bathe him. Unlike the shepard, he loved the baths!
I had to take special care in the summer with the squirrels that would taunt him. They would climb just far enough up the trunk of the tree and then stare and move alittle. Jake would go crazy, try to jump the tree and the squirrel would move just a little highter, just out of Jake's reach. We kept an eye on Jake just to make sure he didn't grab one because we didn't want him to get sick.
Not sure why, but I just felt like sharing this. I'm sure Kate never showed this kind of love and compassion to Shoka. If she would have, she would be amazed at what a faithful friend he would be.
Today is going to be the ‘worst’ day of my life remember? I forgot to mention that I cancelled/ rescheduled my dentist appointment that I was supposed to go to at 1: 15 today… so all I had was my school conferences this morning. The conference went fine I guess…. Mrs Dolan just pretty much ‘blew smoke up my butt’ about the girls and their ‘advanced work’ they will be getting. I am still frustrated about the whole situation but truly I don’t feel like Mady especially is mature enough! So I let it go and watched as she told me how well they are doing in school! No duh! … Before I had left though, I had showed them how I wanted the dust to be vaccumed as it was happening so that I didn’t have a mess to clean up. It was such a bigger job than I had pictured and they were there bugging me and in my way til 5: 15 pm!!!!! I was trying to be patient but it was hard…. and I was really relieved when they were gone!

Kate really has such contempt and seems to feel others are beneath her. The doctors and teachers that have to deal with her should get hazard pay.
Nice story, LoveMyGrandsons. You are right. Kate has never shared a story like that.
I want to put here something I saw on Jacob’s site: The Best Things in Life Are Free When we count our many blessings; It isn't hard to see that life's most valued treasures are the treasures that are free. For it isn't what we own or buy that signifies our wealth. It's the special gifts that have no price: our family, friends and health. Author Unknown I love this poem!
It speaks so true! I want to remember it! I was hard on Joel the last few days… he says ‘no’ way too often and I must work that out of him!

Did anyone catch JVM on HLN tonight? At the beginnig of the show the promo showed she would talk about Alana acting out at interviews and whether she is being pushed too hard. I missed it though.
I didn't read the blogs way back when, and didn't know Milo has been posting for a long time. Has she/he always been this delusional, or is it getting progressively worse?
December 1, 2006 I have been nervous, specifically yesterday while paying bills, that I didn’t do the right thing as far as quitting my job. I am going to continue to rely on the Lord for our needs. He will pull us through I know because I am deciding to stay home for my family- so that I can be a happier mommy, and so that we can attend church every week! I know that God will provide for us! … Tomorrow they are filming us going to Toys r us with the kids to let them shop for who they drew the name of! It will hopefully be fun and festive and not frustrating!

LMG - I love golden retrievers. I've never owned one, but I've never met one I didn't like. When I was growing up we had a mutt from the pound named Mocha. She was the best dog! She had some terrier in her, and who knows what else. She looked a lot like Benji. One day we were away from home, and the weather was nice, so my mom decided to leave Mocha in the fenced in yard. When we got home our neighbor told us that the dog had caught a squirrel. She was swinging it around in the air and having all kinds of fun with it. Aack! I couldn't believe she had it in her to kill something. As far as I know that's the only time she ever actually caught something.
Tonight my daughter was giving me her daily run-down of what happened at school today. I try hard to stay focused on who said what, who was wearing what, and how the game during Math class was played. : ) I noticed that she kept adding "-ish" to the ends of words. "Connor is annoying-ish" and "The ice cream at lunch is creamy-ish." Ugh! It reminded me of Kate! I told my daughter that's not a great habit to get into. It's better to say what you mean! LOL So she decided that Connor is kind of annoying, and the ice cream is somewhat creamy.
December 16, 2006 Jon was supposed to go to Lowe’s to get a ‘mantle’ to hang our stockings on while being filmed. He did not find anything but junk and didn’t get anything! I was bummed but secretly knew that it would not happen. Jen was willing to put it in their budget and all! Did not happen! Very sad but there is always next year! So this am Jon told me that Aaden had a ‘rash’ and after nap he absolutely insisted that I come and look… and it was hives of all things! So now I was annoyed! The ped office had told me to ‘give Aaden nebs and if he wasn’t better by Monday I should call to have him seen!!!’ And here he was with hives! So I called and talked to 900 people til I got a jerk of a doctor, Dr Baker, and he treated me like I had no brains let alone medical experience as a nurse!!!!

As much as I am pro-kids, I don't understand the point of Kate posting the kids singing. What is the point? It's like "don't call us we'll call you--- (not)". If Kate is hoping to get a record deal she is even more delusional than I thought.
Lord. … After much prodding to get an appt at the obnoxious pediatrician, imagine, this mother knows what she is talking about! That pediatrician office is driving me nuts! I really can’t stand this area’s lack of intelligence!

I simply do not understand how that woman let this diary out of her sight. Did she ever wonder where it was? That little is, in her own words, the most damning thing out there.
As for this weekend, doubt she's leaving again. I think when CC pulled that away, she cooked up something with her tweeny friend Deanna so she could have a totally deserved sympathy getaway. Deserved only in her head. Just a hunch here. Like the beach house trip, also doubt Skeeve was with them, since she would have to pay him. Still cannot believe she got CC to pay for Skeevie.
OT - so who remembers duck and cover drills in elementary school 50 years ago? The other side of "Camelot"
Like it would have made any difference...
Thank you for my dry milkbone biscuit…. but don’t you know I do some of my best hunting in the inclement weather… 90
I call BULLSHIT.
and I really don't think kk can write this well, even if the info is wrong
Mrs. Malaprop, goldens are wonderful, and smart. However, I think the squirrels that came to our yard were just a bit smarter because they always seemed to win! However, I think Jake love the playtime with them.
I live a few hours W of KK,and am probably a bit N of her, and I had a yellow jacket fly in my car window yesterday. I had to stop the car and get out (VERY allergic, and I didn't have my epi pen with me), so it is possible they had a yellow jacket or some sort of hornet or wasp in the car. Bee -- I doubt it.
Against my better judgment, I went to the soundcloud site and listened to a bit of the song. At least one of the kids has a good voice -- can't tell if it's one of the boys, or one of the girls at this age. Boy, wouldn't it frost KK's butt if it's one of the boys who turns out to be the talented "showbizzy" one of the kids?! At least one of the kids is tone deaf. Of course, Jon is just this side of tone deaf, so that's not surprising.
I haven't posted much the last couple of days. I hate all the sniping and conflict going on here lately, and I tend to be avoidy when those sorts of issues come up. It's bad enough when the BAAAAAAAAAAd crowd meanders into our pasture, but when we start attacking our own, we need to step back and think twice about things. Let's keep our eye on the goal here, which is supporting better protection for children on reality TV shows.
Jill, thanks for your post on the previous page. I read Polly's book. I thought it was good. A bit dry and had an unfortunate title, but good, very scholarly. I say unfortunate title, because, although it used the G's as a focal point for highlighting the dangers and problems of reality TV, it wasn't really about the G's. I read about 1/3 of Al's book and then felt like I needed a hot bath and a de-lousing shower. Sleazy, slimey, tabloidy, very badly written and designed to do one thing, and one thing only -- show Jon in the worst possible light. My understanding is that Robert was initially supposed to co-author the book and backed out because he objected to the direction that Al was taking and felt that some of the material was false and mis-leading.
March 16, 2007 Over this past week, there has been a big brew haha about me being ‘radical’and it all stemmed from my interview that I did for the Chicken Soup for the Soul magazine with Chris finnigan listening in (as per Disc policy I guess). I was called after the interview and treated like a high school kid receiving a detention! I didn’t appreciate any of the message and now that I have been dealing with this for two days, I realize the following: AMP is on our side, I can not say any ‘hot button’ words, I can only say the approved phrases and words, I am missing being on my own and not being governed by others, I am exhausted (and so is Jon) from this whole ugly turnout. Leah said yesterday when I went up to reprimand them for not being in their beds and laying down ‘mommy big girls don’t want a spankin’ I said ‘then lay down and you won’t get a spanking.’ ‘Strength for today and bright hope for tomorrow. Great is thy faithfulness, Lord unto me’

Kiwi, I remember those duck and cover drills in elementary school in the 60's! We liked them because we got out of school work!
my post at 140 jumps out at me because even though her kid is bleeding at school, upset and crying, Kate finds the time to TAKE A SHOWER. If that was me, the school nurse would just have to hold her nose.
good grief.
Orange, I think we are fairly certain that Jon, with just about almost every other person who owns a computer, backed up the family computer and saved the disks. Must have been stored in the garage apt. That is what Robert found in the trash. It wasn't a paper journal.
I don’t like that he doesn’t know how to handle his frustration and anger!

Boy, if that isn't the proverbial case of the pot calling the kettle black. He got that from you, genius!

I bet Milo falls asleep to Kate's voice tonight. Instead of counting sheep, she'll play that over and over again, imagining that Kate and the kids are singing just to her, and she's singing back to them:
miloandjack
@Kateplusmy8 Woah woah ...yay yay...Kate loves her kids every single day...she'll love them twice as much 2morrow...
======
Why does Kate attract these loonies?
_____________
Why because their all of Kate and her twitter fans have delusional in there thinking.
Sheep think
Kate's a good mom.
Kate's a real star.
Kate's going to get a new show.
It's never Kate's fault now matter what she accused of even with proof.
Kate thinks.
She has the gift of gab.
She thinks she's a star.
She thinks she's a good mom.
She's thinks people that don't agree with her are haters or mean bullies.
She thinks that when people call her on her abuse of her dog and children.
Are mean and jealous cause she's just a mom.

Out of the entire book, that passage right there (IMO) is some of the most f'd up words ever put to paper.
The 31 year old ADULT with a hair trigger temper is accusing the toddler of having a hair trigger temper. The 31 year old ADULT who handles HER frustration and anger by throwing toddlers in their cribs and spanking them as hard as she can, DOESN'T LIKE THAT THE TODDLER DOESN'T KNOW HOW TO HANDLE HIS FRUSTRATION AND ANGER!!!! W.T.F.! Then, the 31 year old ADULT is disappointed that she didn't get the chance to make the TODDLER apologize to HER for behaving like a TODDLER!
It's almost too much to bear. She is not fit to be a parent. God bless those dear kids.
LMG - Us too!
Readerlady - Our camping trip the weekend before last - our site was up against some elderberry bushes. Lots of bees - quite the annoyance when carving pumpkins. My DS who HATES bees, was saying there are no bees in October - as he swatted and ran from them. I understand. When in HS, during soccer practice, while running, somehow a bee flew into his mouth and stung him. On the tongue (thank goodness he's not allergic). These bees are what we call "sweat bees" (although that might be incorrect). So, in OH, near the city that begins with and M and ends in a D, there were bees even after an below freezing night. Blech.

I once got called to school for an emergency. I threw a long trench coat over my shortie pajamas and off I went, slippers and all. I think they are still laughing about it there. At least I didn't have curlers in my hair!

Well Collin didn’t like that I sent him in and when I was out in the garage, I heard three large bangs… I went inside and three highchairs were on the floor literally. I was instantly so SO angry, that I grabbed him and spanked him as hard as I could and thought I may seriously injure him so I sent him to his crib…. And whipped him into it very hard! I for the first time thought I may really lose it and am glad that I just let him in his crib til Jon came home! I have never felt that I may really seriously injure a child but today was that day! I don’t know what it is about Collin! He is usually kind and caring and nice and tender but when his temper flairs…. Watch out!

&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&
Thanks for posting this, aggiemom. She is beating baby Collin within an inch of his life for tipping over 3 chairs, and SHE doesnt like that he doesnt know how to handle HIS frustration and anger??????????????????????????????????????????????? Which one is the baby here???????????????????????????????????
I would love to sit with Kate and review these horrible words and thoughts and feelings with her, and find out why in the world she didnt go to a psychiatrist and get help? At what point did she decide that psychopathology was the way to go? that physically and emotionally terrorizing babies WHO WERE BEGGING NOT TO BE BEAT was the easier path to take...?
Those little pleading words "Mommy, big girls dont want a spankin" breaks my heart as much as an infant being lifted by his hair while his mommy beats him 'as hard as I could!' those poor terrified babies in physical pain at the hands of their own mother. My God.
The best best ever was the other day when Aaden came to me with his thumb in a hole in a wiffle ball and said very honestly and earnestly ‘I put my penis in there’
____________
Who in the hell writes this in a book or journal?
Poor Aaden now has to live with what his mother wrote.
May 10, 2007 Today they were actually naughtier than normal. Collin and Aaden continue to try my patience as usual. It is as if they set out to do exactly what I have just asked them not to immediately after I tell them not to! It is soooo frustrating and I can’t say that I am as patient as I should be… in fact, I am plain rough sometimes in response to their constant disobedience!!!
May 16, 2007 Today I think I crossed the line. With the kids. All was sorta fine up til naptime. During naptime, Alexis and Joel trashed their room TWICE and were spanked both times…. they had to stay in their beds for a long time and when I allowed them to come down with everyone else… and FIVE minutes later they were into the m &ms (potty training rewards) with Collin and I really REALLY lost it! I pulled Collin up by the hair and I spanked them so hard!!! I love them so much but I was so very angry with them! I put them back in their beds for their safety and I have apologized many many times but I still feel very very guilty!!! I love them and I saw my dad in myself today and that really scares me!!!!! Lord I am begging you to help me be a loving caring kind and slow to anger mommy. Please stop me somehow from hurting my kids and help me to be slow to anger!!!! I love them SOOO much. Help them to obey me!!!!! And not get into trouble!!!!! Please Lord, amen!!!!

My God. Again.
""Tonight when I was disciplining him I included ‘…. And I love you….’ And he looked immediately up and said ‘I love you too’. ""
So the kids get a beating before bed for good measure? In case she missed anything during the day or just to help Kate relax?
Love equals hitting and hitting equals love. Check.
Ok, seriously going to be sick here. I knew I stopped reading that book for a reason. No wonder the sheeple are in a tizzy. gotta go ~~
May 18, 2007 …Anyway, today marks the fifth day of Aaden’s potty training and I thought he was doing extremely well UNTIL… right before lunch, I was in the kitchen making lunch and Hannah announced that ‘Aaden pooped on the floor’…. and sure enough, he had pooped on the dining room floor in front of the sliding glass door!!! Tons of poop, squooshy poop and pee and had trailed it making heel prints on the wood floor! You know, that floor that I can’t clean with antibacterial stuff!!!! I screamed at the top of my lungs as I picked him up and another plop of poop rolled down his leg onto the floor!!!! I scrubbed and scrubbed and even used soap and water and toothpicks in the grooves to clean that nasty stinky crap up! I spanked aaden after all was clean because we are not dogs and by five days, I felt that he should be able to handle his functions a tad better! What a gross day!!!! And it’s not even over yet…. I am at the point where I dread what they will do next!!!!

wayward, you took the words out of my mouth. I can't believe that Kate actually accused a toddler of not being able to handle their frustration and anger after all we have seen her do for years. She accused Joel of being clueless, but she is truly the clueless one.
Just finished watching the Dr. Drew interview with June and Alana on HLN.
After watching all the episodes and reading multiple articles....I have to say that I was fairly impressed with Dr. Drew, actually. I thought all the points he made and questions he asked were very relevant in terms of being realistic about what the problems were/might be in terms of their show and sudden huge celebrity. I definitely wouldn't call the questions he asked "soft-ball" and he did seem quite concerned for this family and for this child.
Alana seemed very hyper-active and I had to assume that she's just overly tired of all the interviews she's had to endure during this latest media tour and just was fed up with answering questions. Sugar and caffeine could have played a part too.
And...it almost looked to me like he understood why she was being the way she was and was allowing her to continue (though he also used distraction techniques) because he almost seemed to want the audience to see how maxed-out this little 7 year old has become. He even sorta stopped June from scolding her or from trying to make Alana stop what she was doing a few times.....as if he wanted her to continue so the audience could observe.
The painful part for me related to the responses June was giving because she seemed to be going down the road of "it's just us living our normal lives and it's not hurting the kids and they're just having a good old time" etc. etc.....and it seemed apparent to me that Dr. Drew questioned that and did try, albeit gently, to get her to answer some serious questions regarding the effects on the family and the effects on the children....but she pretty much kept sticking to the party line....that nothing about any of it was detrimental to the kids.
June also said that the show was about the entire family equally but you could see Dr. Drew wasn't totally buying that either......and at least so far....in the 10 episodes....about 50% of the filming IS strictly of Alana....and then the other 50% of the family.
June also said that they have taken on NO professional management and that SHE is the manager and makes all the decisions.
I do think Dr. Drew did try to ask the tough questions but tried not to be too pushy about it. And to me, he seemed very concerned about the negative effects this show and sudden celebrity will and already has affected this family.
Admin@61 said A dog isn't and really shouldn't be barking at his own owners.
*********************************************
Not a day goes by that our bully doesn't bark at us when we get home. You'd think that he'd know the sound of the garage door opening by now (he's 3). Nope. He's our "special" boy and will even bark at us if we leave the room and come back in because he forgot we were just there. Seriously though, bulldogs don't have the greatest sense of smell and rely more on facial and voice recognition. I've tested him on this and entered the house and held a piece of paper in front of my face and left just my eyes showing. I also didn't speak. He makes his growly face at me until I moved the paper and spoke to him Although he is short bus materiall we love him dearly and wouldn't give him up for the world even if he is a barky boy.
Funny how an adult women can justify "meltdowns", being short tempered, excessive, angry, stressed, demanding, etcetcetc.....but toddlers and young children are suppose to act like little robots....or else they suffer physical PAIN or isolation.
I guess she thinks that spanking them is ok if you end it by saying I love you. All is forgiven, right, Kate?
They don't have a bully though, they have a German Shepherd. They can easily be taught not to bark.
June 6, 2007 Just as all this was happening, I heard some gleeful laughing and giggling in the laundry room (and I might add, that by this point exhausted didn’t even describe my state!!!) which is usually NOT a good thing!!! I followed my ears and discovered that Alexis and Aaden were splashing and wearing oxiclean water from my soaking buckets!!! There was all but an inch of water on the floor and Aaden was wearing it in his hair and down his face…. and it is STRONG oxiclean water!!!! I lost it! I absolutely melted down!!!! I started cleaning it up and called jon to tell him ALL of the news and sobbed so hard that he couldn’t understand me. I told him in so many words that I felt like I may hurt his children etc and so on. Fortunately, I know to send them to their beds when they have been naughty so that they are out of my sight and then I know that they are safe!!!! So they were in their beds and I was sobbing and cleaning up the floor when I decided to lay down on the towels and continue to cry. I was sobbing ‘please somebody help me… please wont somebody help me’ when I heard this little voice say ‘mommy I will help you!’. It was little Leah and that melted my heart!!! She had been standing there watching my melt down and to hear her say that was so very dear!!!! She and Hannah then offered their help and I appreciated their support if nothing else!!!
… That evening, Aaden had a few more potty accidents which caused me to finally put him back into diapers (which about two to three weeks into it I hated to do but I just can’t take the million accidents a day!). when Jon got home he had the nerve to lie to me about buying lunch in Philly that day! I KNEW he was lying, his eyes were as big as saucers!!! But he insisted that he ‘didn’t have lunch’ when really he had put it on the credit card!!!! That was the absolute end to the most horrible day in history!!!! Why am I so unloved that he has to continually lie to me? Am I that stupid? Is he that character less? Evidently he cares more about his OWN fear or whatever that lying is okay! Does he really think that I would never EVER find out? Just be honest weak boy!!!!! Some life lesson he is teaching his kids! Great we will have a house full of lying kids….. that makes me completely sick!!!!!!! I wish Jon would crack the Bible daily and really seek the Lord in this matter! I wish he would really seeeee what God is all about and how He just wants to love Jon and help him to be a spiritual role model for his family. I pray that his complacency would leave him and would turn into passion for the Lord! Lord PLEASE help Jon to desire these things!!!!!! Help him to become a man of integrity!!!!! Lord please!!!!! He could be the perfect man if he could get these things under control and let God take control!!!!!

Aggie can you do me a favor and email Robert and make sure he is okay with reposting this much of his book here? He may not care and if so carry on. But technically we shouldn't be posting such large portions of someone's work without asking.
Anyone seen the tv commercial about the two young boys washing their dad's car in the driveway? They are just getting after it, of course they are scrubbing the insides with toothpaste, dumping buckets of water through the moonroof, the windows are down....and here comes Dad...what does he do? He just stands there, looks at his kids, and says, 'you missed a spot', and starts washing the car with the boys....
every time I see this commercial I think of Kate's meltdown regarding the oxiclean buckets.
My dog Nouschi, a Keeshond/Siberian Husky mix, doesn't bark when we come home, but she wriggles and squeals and yips with excitement.I have had many dogs over the years and while they didn't all bark at my arrival, they all made some sort of sound.
Kate is faking Shoka's presence. Perhaps she was looking up to the heavens and saying "Hi Shoka!" She is completely full of excrement.
Re Post 130: What kind of mother is told her baby has a rash & doesn't bother to check it out until she is pressed to do so hours later?? And what kind of mother gets annoyed when she sees it's hives? Boggles the mind. I care more about my house plants than Kate cared about those babies.
Geez, even my kitties make sounds when they come and greet me. Pets get so excited to see mom or dad. IDModo, ITA Kate is full of excrement.

I am certainly no atty, but aren't these 'Kate's words?"
I don't want to step on his toes in any way, in fact I'd like to bow down and kiss his feet!
I am not sure about how to obtain an email for him.
If you think it's too much material, I will gladly delete them.

I was wondering about that, but figured Admin had cleared it with Robert. Since the attorneys had this book pulled, would there be a problem with them?
She spanks them and then they have to apologize to her. Sadist.
Oops...misread it as "Gross Trap children". Although it WAS gross when Kate chimed in.
My pups bark at nothing most of the time.
My pups also get under my bed and bark at 3am.
My pup also barks really loud at random times to scar me.-(lol)
Admin, yes shepards are extemely smart dogs and can be taught not to bark. I guess I don't understand why one would want to teach them that. Our shepard, Cody, barked when we got home. As he got older, he didn't, he just looked out the front window and then went to the door when he saw us walking up to it. Of course, his wagging tail very often knocked a plant over (he was 118 pounds so a very big dog).
He was quiet when he needed to be, but when he wanted to make his presence known, to noises outside, he could be quite loud. It's funny now that I think about it. Sometimes he would just stand quiet and at attention if he heard noises, kind of like "I dare you come inside my home". I think he barked as a warning first, and then just waited until whatever noise got his ears up, went away. Does that make sense?
That awful People shoot was a travesty. If they manipulated my kids like that I would have thrown a fit.
I always picture crazy stupid Kate Coyne at People staying up until 3 am photoshopping her idol and family until everyone looked "perfect." But since it's not worth fighting with Kate Coyne no one else protested when she put her creation on the cover.
Admin, yes shepards are extemely smart dogs and can be taught not to bark. I guess I don't understand why one would want to teach them that.
&&&
Because you want them to bark at strangers not just everyone?
I don't get it. My dog doesn't bark at family or friends he's met. He barks at people he doesn't know. This isn't normal?? LOL.
But you certainly CAN hear him when you come home. He spins around, runs and gets his toy, jumps, his nails clicking the hardwood, all things that easily would have been picked up by a voice memo app. Oh and of course me saying "Hi Poo-poos I'm home!!" Yes I call him poo-poos don't judge.
Admin, the nails on the hardwood floor, oh how I remember that and miss it. He's been gone since March and sometimes I still look for him.
Ad far as his barking when we came home when he was younger, heck, it just made us feel good that he was happy to see us. Just my opinion of course.
I'm working my way down the blog posts so if this has been mentioned,sorry. To shorten those long urls go to http://tinyurl.com/ it's quick and easy.

Notice she manipulated Kate's girls from a 38c to about a 34b. I wonder how well that went over with our Lady of Playtex.
The barking dog...
I sometimes watch old Roseanne reruns. The doorbell on the show must be the same tone/frequency as our doorbell. Every time it rings on the show, our dog goes nuts, ballistic. Unfortunately, Roseanne's doorbell rang quite a bit. No other doorbell on any other show sets her off. When I say, "It's on television," she immediately settles down and stops barking.
Smart dogs, those collies.
I guess she thinks that spanking them is ok if you end it by saying I love you. All is forgiven, right, Kate?
&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&
I'm surprised she didn't say, "This hurts me more than it hurts you," expecting them to understand.

I thought it was "bombs or whatever," which is even worse because it implies a total lack of caring. Whatever, shrugging shoulders, so what.
Some great comments here from Dr. Drew's show with Honey Boo Boo.

dee3...We have an almost eight year old male german shepard. He sits at one of our dining room windows in the afternoon waiting for my husband to come home. I always know it is my husband because he barks in a high pitched happy bark. If it is someone else, he barks his deep, protective bark. If he is outside, however, and a vehicle pulls into the driveway, he barks his deep, protective bark; he doesn't care whose vehicle it is.

Her nose must be stretched all the way to Timbuktu, she lies so much.
---------------------
JW, I have to disagree with you on this one. The geographical area is not Timbuktu. I have reliable information that Kate is, at present, waiting to hear from the Arizona Dept. of Parks and Recreation to provide a bridge across the 10,000 miles of the Grand Canyon. She has enticed them with the ability to bring value to the wasted real estate by using the length of her nose as a toll bridge.
She has stated in her proposal that she is willing to accept a contract that contains the following:
1-The park may keep all revenue collected from the sales in the gift shop except for the souvenirs that contained her brand name.
2- They must advertise her brand by naming the bridge The Gr8 SK8 Canyon G8 Bridge and place an oversize billboard at each end of the bridge.
3- All toll revenue collected will be paid to the brand in cash, with all receipts scanned to disks, originals burned and all disks turned over to Steve.
4- Steve is to be employed as toll/security officer.
5- There must be at least two PICKERS who start at the beginning and the end of the bridge, who's sole responsibility is to keep it clean 24/7, year round.
6- She agree's to take pictures with tourists but requires a fee to autograph them by spitting on them.
I think this just might be the job someone takes her up on. After all, she has 9 years of natural talent and experience. Who wouldn't?
My dogs are like kids to me. They both get excited when I come home from anywhere. They make me smile. They are very good watch dogs. I treat my dogs, birds and even my fish, a million times better than Kate ever treated her kids and husband.
I discovered in my fish tank, that one of the first round of baby fish born, that one of them, was born with a curved spine(from the side it looks a like a v). In the breeding world of fish, they would have dumped that poor thing down the toilet. I named it Bently, it swims just fine and gets around, I don't have the heart to dump it down the toilet, I will let it live it's life out, for as long as it lives.

That bridge would have to be made of fireproof material just to make sure that Kate couldn't add it to the ones she's already burned.
I sure hope Robert doesn't mind, Admin!
We can be realistic in saying excerpts from Gosselin Book are being shared on nearly every single Kate realated website and article, at this time. Kind of out of his control.

Admin, the nails on the hardwood floor, oh how I remember that and miss it. He's been gone since March and sometimes I still look for him.
Ad far as his barking when we came home when he was younger, heck, it just made us feel good that he was happy to see us. Just my opinion of course.

Our girl who just left us used to dance with her front paws when i was fixing her dinner dish. We still have 2 big happy pups here, but no one dances waiting for dinner. I know what you mean about missing those happy sounds, for a long time, I suspect.

Admin, yes shepards are extemely smart dogs and can be taught not to bark. I guess I don't understand why one would want to teach them that.
&&&
Because you want them to bark at strangers not just everyone?
I don't get it. My dog doesn't bark at family or friends he's met. He barks at people he doesn't know. This isn't normal?? LOL.
But you certainly CAN hear him when you come home. He spins around, runs and gets his toy, jumps, his nails clicking the hardwood, all things that easily would have been picked up by a voice memo app. Oh and of course me saying "Hi Poo-poos I'm home!!" Yes I call him poo-poos don't judge.

LOL!
Mine are Mommy's Pretty Princess, said in a surgery voice; and Mommy's Handsome Man, said in a I-cant-describe-it voice. Oh yeah, they respond to their real names too. They also respond to each other's names.... but we love em.
I can tell when HunnyBunny is home, because the female suddenly flies down the stairs, with her feet barely touching the steps. The male, a Rottweiler, lumbers down but still at the speed of light. hehe.
they sure do make ya happy dont they? Nothing but love and silliness and trust.
My name isn't a code it's the rest of the ditty that brings to mind, Ms. Katie.

Just always gets me that she'd be jaunting off to her fun, fun, adventures and the children are locked in the orphanage with who knows who (back before the 50/50 ... hope now it's with Jon.

Thank you!
My Papillon Ty... barks at everything, including the door bells on TV. I'm sure Anita here & her "Sophie" can relate. It's in their nature to be barkers and Sheeple Herders.
The reason Nala turned on Kate, if true- abuse.
