It was just the other day that a good friend of mine called me in dismay about his dog. He had spent his last 14 years with this dog and he loved her dearly, but her time had come and the decision to make was difficult. We talked several times and I offered any condolences I could. I know in …
destroyed – euthanized – killed – finished
As I checked my facebook page today I saw one of the typical posts, “to be destroyed – Friday.” next to this caption was a photo of a loving dog, head cocked, looking straight into the camera with all of the innocence a child would show in his school pictures. Unaware of the fate that awaits him, cast upon him …
…it ain’t me (babe).
This post is directed as much at my friends as well as those people that my “friends” occasionally refer to me.
