New Home for Boots

[Rachel]

Karen this whole thing stinks. Pardon my language. I have to wonder whether Boots is going to a home where he will be bounced around to another home in a short while and then another and another. I don't even want to contemplate that. You poor thing. You went to h#ll and back for him and they didn't even extend you the courtesy of giving him a kiss goodbye. I don't like the way she spoke to you *gleefully* about Boots being gone. No wonder you are crying. You tried to protect him once and now he has gone off to a very questionable future in my opinion. *sigh*

I have to agree. I don't know if it would do any good but I certainly would tell *the neighbor* how you feel about how this was handled. Tell her the time you took, the efforts you made and how it made you feel to have that all written off as if it were nothing. Also you might want to mention that Boots, being a Pitty, needs a knowledgeable guardian and not just anybody who would take him. Tell her how you have learned to love Boots and protected him with your life and felt you had found a home where he would be safe and secure and able to live there forever. Can she say the same for the home she chose?

I'm so sorry, Karen. I know this has to be devasting for you as it would have been for me if I were in your shoes.

((((hugs)))) You did your best, not your fault the neighbor decided to speed up his departure time. I hope you get to see him again. Will say a little prayer that Boot's guardian angel will stick close to the little guy & keep him safe.

Everything that I wanted to say has already been said and I am left with this...

Wow. Just unremarkably... wow. That is uncurteous and just plain RUDE. You did so much for that little boy and they don't even have any sort of decency to at least let you say good bye. I would voice my opinion to your neighbor. Make yourself understood.

****HUGS****

Oh, I am sooo sorry, Karen This whole thing sucks!
Can't you go visit him or something?
Maybe talk to the neighbors about your feelings or something?

(((HUGS)))

I am so sorry Karen - I will continue to send good thoughts both your way and poor Boots.

Thanks. i intend to find out where and how he is. My neighbor remarked "He's in the family' which of course, makes me cringe even more. All i know is that the husband is a cop, the wife is a stay at home mother, the little boy has no friends, being around 200 pounds. So, Boots to the rescue of course.
At least the neighbor's had a pit before and were knowledgable. I'll give them that. But we are great friends, we're always at each other's houses. They've been a huge help since my mom died. I guess, bottom line, i feel betrayed and terribly hurt.
Who knows, if by the time they decide they don't want Boots anymore, what condition he'll be in.
Once again, suffer the innocent.

Oh Karen... hugs to you!!!
I'm so sorry you've been hurt so badly by these "people".
I hope and pray you get in touch with Boots new owners and find out wonderful news!! Like they've had pits before, and that they love him just as much as you do.... all you can do is hope and pray!
