I completely understand how you feel!! I work at a humane society and the execuses people use never fail to blow my mind. The other day it was pouring down rain. Well, this man brings a 9yr old large size dog in and says, " I can't keep him anymore he is afraid of the rain." So I wonder at what point in that 9yyrs did he realize this?? I also wanted to ask him if he had any fears and wether his family would give him away due those fears!!
