Thank you for your kind words. And welcome to PT. I appreciate what you say and I agree to a point. However, it isn't how he handled grief that upset me. It's how he handled her passing, what took place before her death, not after. He should've been there w/her, no excuses. He could have been there, he chose not to be. If he had been, however he chose to grieve would've been acceptable. I don't force my beliefs on anyone and that includes grieving. But when you have a pet, you see her life through to the end. It's the last act of kindness that we'll ever do for our pet friends. He turned his back on her. I'm sure the people at the emergency clinic were kind to her but it would've been so much more comforting to her had her "dad" been there. He fell far short of being a true friend. He constantly made it about him, his stress, his emotional pain, his financial strain, all the while Bailey had seizures nearly every hour for over two weeks. And when he could've been there to help end it, he turned the other way. No, no free pass for this guy.
