Im sorry...you really shouldn't feel like a burden. My family is a little messed up too, im sure most are. I had a so called "uncle" who pretended to be nice but then turned around and stole my aunts dog. How somebody could sink so low I will never understand. You ask where he is now? I dont really care, he could be dead and I wouldn't shed one tear...Im just concerned about the dog, Rocky....I hope hes okay..wherever he is.....
