Hi again all,
I was so upset about all this that I missed a big point.
(i think ….. I only checked my first post) … but they live in redneck land and my friend is married to a black woman (who’s a nurse and just the sweetest gal you’d ever meet and I’m quite certain has been/is a real asset to her industry ..)
but now I’ve had time to think about it … I’d bet my month’s earnings the reason that he was picked on is a racial reason behind this issue)
I just can’t imagine out in the sticks like they are … that it isn’t common place for this to be done ….
oh and here’s one more thing (this guy is really having a tough go) .. it turns out that they’re losing their house and he actually had two dogs one 11, the other 14 .. that there was no place for them to go with the dogs and he DID take the 11 yr old to the vet to have it put down but he said …. damn … I really couldn’t even afford that .. and flat out didn’t have the money to have the other one done that way.
Under such strain and stress it probably just didn’t occur to him that the vet would have put them both down for the price of one …… then again I didn’t ask him .. perhaps he tried and was denied.
well anyway thanks so much to you all for caring enough to check in and whether you agreed or not … is of no matter. Its the fact you cared enough to see what was bothering me so much .. and I very much appreciate your caring.
