People who had a dog, who they leave outside and uncared for and are now divorcing and cannot "afford" the dog. The house is $450,000, with 3 cars in the driveway and a house full o'crap. Umm..yeah..thanks for allowing me to foster this beautiful creature. And may you NEVER have another animal in your life.
Bless you, MamaM, for what you do, and thanks, Steve, for the thoughts. Too late to change anything now, but next time I'll try to be more on the ball.....Originally Posted by MamaM
People like that tend to view their animals with about the same value they place on their houseful of crap. Couldn't live without "it" when they got it, but easily thrown away when it's inconvenient, or they just don't have the urge to have it any more. Never occurs to them it's a living thing they have a responsibility toward. I have scary urges to hit people like that over the head with heavy objects daily. (would never do it, but my daydreams are vivid)
pug, I am sending you Frenchie Love today.
Thanks, I.L. His little head is finally starting to widen and he's getting chunkier. So adorable at this stage, makes me such a grumpy protective dog-mama.
I have lived in some pretty icky places all so I could keep my dog(s) and cat(s). I did what I had to do to keep us together as a family. I have a 119lb dog. I go through $120 worth of food/medications/shampoos a month. Probably around $50 for the cat. I give up fancy shoes, a new car, fancy house stuff because I love my animals. People and pets are not disposable.
What kind of a person comes into the library and asks to have their address written down for them?
They are living locally, sure, to attend the college. But how could you not know your address?
Why do people have to bring their sick children to public places? My boys and I were at the library when another kid got sick. Grandma said, "Oh no, not again." Fast forward two days, and we're all sick. I'm peeved and bitter.
To a certain someone at work, to quote Raymond Carver:
Will you please stop talking? please
Just SHUT UP and stop yakking about yourself!
To a co-worker: you left me a voice-mail message with an urgent request when I was gone for the day. When I returned, I worked it first thing in the a.m. and then sent you an email explaining status, upon which you replied, "don't worry, I figured it out and got it done while you were gone."
Thanks - that's 20 minutes that I wouldn't have wasted if you'd sent me a 10-second follow-up message. Simple etiquette, people !!
Geez, my old boss has a new job??
Success is to be measured not so much by the position that one has reached in life as by the obstacles which he has overcome. - Booker T. Washington
