Woah some are way too judgmental here, and yes you know who you are as Donna said, I like to think i know David reasonably well and i think to say such harsh things towards him are totally uncalled for, YOU are not in his situation, YOU do not know him as i do.

If Marigold is going to a loving home and is happy ,that is what matters here,if David felt he could no longer cope or could give her the best life possible he should be commended not ridiculed for his actions,it takes a brave person to part with their loved pet,and David did what he had to for the right reasons.

Not one of us here should make these judgments until you know the full story or have walked in his shoes.

Knowing David as i do he will be very hurt by a certain post.

So much criticism goes on here at PT sometimes it is just way over board,PEOPLE are important too,and Davids situation,dilemma,was one he felt he could share with many of his friends here who care and understand where he is coming from.,he came here for compassion,understanding,not to be kicked when he is already down.

Not one of us here knows what the future holds for us, anyone of us could be faced with re-homing a pet for what ever reason.It could happen to you any time.
