Actually, Cass has shared her personal triumphs and woes here - including those of a financial nature. People here care about animals and merely want to see them placed in the best possible forever home. Kay was going off of Cass' latest issues that she shared, and that we hadn't really heard had changed. So last she knew, Cass' finances were not the best to bring in a puppy and all the responsibility that goes along with it and was questioning it because she cares.

It's the same thing members here did for another PTer whose house burned down, whose husband didn't like animals much, but yet who kept bringing pets home and then having to give them up. It's not healthy for the pet, it's not healthy for the human, and it's sad. It is up to each individual here on where to draw the line as to what they share about their lives. Me, I choose to keep a lot to myself and focus only on my pets. Cass needed to vent about other goings-on. What is put on a public forum is up for debate. If you don't think it should be, don't post it. Otherwise... <shrug> ... it's out there for everyone to read and judge.
