Makes me sad. People feel pets are disposable.

I think you did the right thing speaking your mind at the meeting.

When my son was born we had two Labs, Maggie and Jasper. Jasper immediately started sleeping under Caleb's crib when we brought him home from the hospital. All I remember is the dogs loving the babies. We made them part of the process. I have many pictures of my kids with the dogs. I think pets make a family whole.

I should scan some pics of my kids with the dogs when they were little and post them.
