I'm so glad that your landlord gave you permission to bury Sweet Dude there close to you. I think it is a crying shame that you have had to endure so much just to bury a poor little cat. He had only you to show him mercy in life and now only you to show him mercy in death. What a horrible shame.
As for the drunk...no comments that can be posted except for the fact that people usually get whats coming to them and his day will come. As a matter of fact if he has to drink all the time he may have already had his day and can't live with it.
Thank you for putting out so much effort just to give Sweet Dude a proper burial. You have gone far beyond what others would have done. We appreciate your efforts and I'm sure that somewhere so does Sweet Dude.
