cookie,
the honest to god's truth. (my brother and I plan to liberate max and see he gets the care that he needs.......you did not read this..
it's a secret mission)

liz,
i have never heard the cries of ANY animal that made my skin crawl like max' did. I will remember that to my dying day....
sometimes a little humor is the way to clear out the horror
of a pretty traumatic event.....i was so ticked off that i wanted to
go and literally kick the crap outta this guy.......it would not have been pretty watching someone 6'2" beat the tar outta some 5'6"
drunk with absolutely no conscience.

I had no intention of writing the second story at all.
i also had no intention of irritating or making anyone angry.
I thought that the coach story would be a change from some
of the pain and loss-of-dog stories i see in this forum...a change of pace.....sometimes i leave my chair and have to avoid people lest they ask me, "what's the matter?" IT's no fun seeing some big oaf crying over a posting on a pet site.

my apologies to anyone i may have offended!
