Just Another Silly "Getting To Know You" Questionnaire

[Shasta542]

I like the Roloff's dog, too, Dobie. He's so laid-back and cute.

Kate is ultra-organized. She would drive me crazy, but that's a great skill to have if you have 8 children! She and Jon are opposites, but they stick together about the kids which is good.

Isn't his name Rocky? He is very cute. He's so sweet and gentle and I LOVE his face.

I also watch Little People Big World. It's one of my favorite shows. I have been a bit disturbed over what I've been hearing about Jeremy. I've heard he's extremely homophobic, and that bothers me a little. In fact, I've also heard Matt (and his father) are also very homophobic. There have been numerous discussions about it on the various message boards, including IMDb. You can read a lot about it over there and also on the TLC website, although they (TLC) seem to be rather quick in erasing anything negative about the Roloffs, which is understandable I guess.

This doesn't bother me enough to stop watching the show, but I DO find it a bit disillusioning. Especially since the Roloffs go around the country teaching and speaking about tolerance and acceptance, and yet seem perfectly happy to discount an entire group of people because of their sexual orientation.

Yes, I think you're right David.  I believe the dog's name is Rocky.  I had no idea the Roloff boys appear to have a homophobic streak in them.  That's surprising, and sad if it's true.  I

Yes -- the dog is Rocky and he's a bullmastiff which is what my Scout's mom was. Very big, sweet, gentle breed.

Did you all know that their friend, Mike, who is on the show with them a lot, died suddenly at the beginning of June? He was at a soccer meeting or practice, became ill, was taken to the hospital and operated on for a torn aorta. They'd expected the surgery to work, but he died. Sad. He was just 60.

No I didn't know that Mike died.  Wasn't he the one that was injured along with Jacob a few years ago when they were operating that huge slingshot?  I think they were slinging pumpkins?
