The sad life of Mutley ended today ....
Sometimes ... well, most of the time lately ... I really don't like people much.
Here is Mutley's story: Mutley was a pit bull. He came to my kennel to be boarded in July. His owner got a new job working out of town, and didn't know what to do with Mutley temporarily until he could work something out. Ok, fine and well.
Well, then, I got a little more of the story from my friend, who happens to be our county animal control officer ... and also Mutley's owner's girlfriend. Seems Mutley was actually a gift from this guy to his former girlfriend. He didn't really want Mutley, and neither did his new girlfriend.
So, Mutley stayed at my kennel since July ..... and today my friend picked him up ... and took him to animal control to be gassed. His crime? Being a present for an ex-girlfriend.
I offered to pay to have him euthanized at the vet. She would not do it.

"All that is gold does not glitter, Not all those who wander are lost; The old that is strong does not wither, Deep roots are not reached by the frost. From the ashes a fire shall be woken, A light from the shadows shall spring; Renewed shall be blade that was broken, The crownless again shall be king." - J.R.R. Tolkien
