but some days I like DU better than others.
http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=105&topic_id=7908668&mesg_id=7908668We had to put a dog to sleep today that we have given the best life we could for the years of her life.
She was not a nice dog. We had to make accommodations for her. It was not easy. But we did the best we could for her.
I expressed that in the Lounge, hoping for (no, expecting) the same response I got when we adopted a cat who is the joy of our lives.
http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=105&topic_id=7908668&mesg_id=7908668You know how many replies I've gotten except my own? ONE.
Apparently it's only virtuous to do right by animals if you profess everlasting love for them. How about doing right for them no matter what, if you have taken that responsibility? That's my way.
Well, I got THREE so far, but that's <=0 in the Lounge, in my experience. (Not calling the very much appreciated few who replied zeroes! Thank you!)
