Oh Donna, I'm so sorry I couldn't be of help. It breaks my heart, but I'm at least glad that you insist on being there with her so she doesn't go alone.

This terrible outcome makes me hate the woman that dropped her off even more. I hope she finds out how Carrie's life ended and that it's all her fault for being an idiot (hint, hint). The only problem with that is then the little boy will find out, and he will be even more devastated than when they brought her in. What a sad, sad story.

My only other thought was that maybe Carrie had some medical problem that the woman knew about but didn't tell the shelter. She (the woman) didn't want to spend money on vet bills, so she just turned poor Carrie into the shelter to deal with. Like you said, Donna, none of your others were sick until Carrie arrived, so maybe.....I don't know, maybe I just grasping at straws trying to make sense of this whole thing.

Hugs to you Donna, please try and be strong and know that Carrie will be happy at RB, and it's you she'll be waiting for, and that little boy, and not that idiot woman that turned her in.
