Carole, it really sounds like they value 'things' more than they do the love of their pets. It really is terrible! I am mad at Dr. Phil for that too. Did he suggest they get rid of these poor little babies?

I have two cats, and we live on my husbands diability. I will do without stuff for myself than get rid of my cats! And I do. I do without new clothes for my sweet Grover and Stubby! Wow, I just can't imagine 'things' being more important than a life!!
