The shelter will euthanize automatically any animal they can't put a collar on. (believing that if they can't get a collar on them they can't in good conscience place them in a home). This cat was about 18lbs and had never worn a collar...add that to his natural dislike of strangers and strange places and we knew taking him to the shelter was a death sentence. So we did the best we could. hubby took him on a drive and let him loose in a neighborhood. We can only hope that he found another owner...one who didn't have babies. <br /><br />We don't want to know the rest of the story either.MightyMomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02563721884001643857noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-94747407415633325.post-27160354198742911752009-09-01T22:57:21.915-05:002009-09-01T22:57:21.915-05:00what a sucky week.

We too had a horrible loss heartbreaking loss where one sons pet had to be put down by his older brother when a car hit and ran! It was horrible! The hardest thing my oldest son has ever done in his life because he knew how much his younger brother loved his chocolate lab! I know there is another puppy or maybe 2 just waiting for your loving home! Our prayers are for your children and you. :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02274892067256359414noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-94747407415633325.post-82765353373269123302009-09-01T14:40:30.204-05:002009-09-01T14:40:30.204-05:00Hi Lisa,

I do understand about the vet bills though as I have so many Dr. bills myself. But it is a blessing that you were a responsible pet owner. We have to deal with people around here that don't have a clue as how to take care of pets and it makes me sick.<br /> You did the right thing even though it may not have been what you would have liked to have done. We do the best that we can given our circumstances. There are others that do not. Prayers to you and yours Lisa.<br /> Love DiDianahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11429812875586479256noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-94747407415633325.post-60252831757806773852009-09-01T11:06:39.978-05:002009-09-01T11:06:39.978-05:00That's very sad. :( Hope that your family...That's very sad. :( Hope that your family's hearts heal!Aubreyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13144780265730192629noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-94747407415633325.post-30121719512147382812009-09-01T11:05:41.372-05:002009-09-01T11:05:41.372-05:00Oh yes, I forgot about poor Michelle -- what a bad...Oh yes, I forgot about poor Michelle -- what a bad friend I am, having just been through this with my Patrick.

They will remember the sadness, yes, but they will also remember your example, and I think it will help them make their own hard decisions in the future. May God bless and comfort you.Sheilahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02883096095980241281noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-94747407415633325.post-19686446724183219952009-09-01T10:13:32.301-05:002009-09-01T10:13:32.301-05:00Oh Lisa, my heart is heavy for your whole family. ...Oh Lisa, my heart is heavy for your whole family. Like I've said before, those dumb pets get under your skin and get us right in the heart! I remember my Mom telling me she felt like she cried more tears over losing our last family dog than she did when her own dad died.<br /><br />I think you did ALL the right things. Clearly, with Bella and Grigio -- I mean, it could have been so, so much worse. Obviously, the two of them could have wreaked so much more havoc -- and worse yet, put one of the kids in danger if they chased the dogs in to a bad situation. It'll all work out.<br /><br />As for Nick, again, I think you did the right thing. Sometimes we have to make those kinds of decisions. We've had a few "what if" scenarios with our dogs and you get to the point where you have to put a cap or limit on what you're able to afford to do. <br /><br />Someone recently told me about spending six grand on doggie dialysis and I about keeled over. I mean, I cherish our dog, but family priorities come first. <br /><br />Just keep turning to St. Francis -- and St. Dominic -- he was a dog lover too! :)<br /><br />Sending extra big HUGS this morning.Kim H.https://www.blogger.com/profile/12684666350821801488noreply@blogger.com
