Thank you Lizbud. Everyone is so sweet and understanding. I love you all :) :)
That reminds me, once when a friend and I were sitting outside..we saw a little dog running around the roads..I said to my friend that I was almost sure he'd be hit if someone didn't get her in. The owners off to the side with a pityful call for it to come back (like they didn't care at all) and sure enough we heard a yelp. So me and my friend ran down to see if it was ok, and the owners completely ignored us..(they were talking to the lady who hit the dog..like nothing happened!) the dog was in pain and they were sitting there talking about like..nothing! anyway..i happened to be working (somewhat..) at the vet clinic..so when i went in the next day and asked if the dog had come in..the vet said I just missed it being put to sleep. it was taken in an hr after it was hit! the poor thing :(
Thank you all for your kind words. I must admit I am very proud of my husband.
Purrley... I am sory to have dredged up such a painful memory.
They could not afford to help the dog. Hard as it is to say I would not have wanted to see that or any other dog living there. We have lived across the street from them for three years. They have a SMALL fenced backyard and we did not know they had a dog! Never saw anyone walking the dog, never saw the kids (yes, there are kids living there -- extended family!) playing with the dog...none of the things you would normally see. I know all my other neighbors' dogs by name. However, I do know the brand of beer the two grown sons drink!
We now take Edwina to a Cat Clinic but we had called her former vet hoping there would be a message referring us to an emergency vet. Probably should have called the cat clinic too but I was just thinking "dog" at that moment.
I wish I at least knew the dog's name so I could pray for him but I will NOT stike up a conversation with those neighbors to find out (I'm not fond of beer!)
