I'm quickly losing faith in the human race

okay. so what the hell is wrong with people?

I had a patient come in today. She lives out in the country and her neighbor was robbed saturday. It was apparently someone the guy knew because they knew to bring certain things to get into the house. (not keys, but they knew they would have to cut pad locks off, etc.) Oh, did I mention that in the meantime, they killed the guy's 3 dogs? 2 rottweilers (10 and 7) and then his 7 month old australian shepherd. Shot all 3 of them. Didn't find the cash they were looking for, but took guns. All I have to say is if someone ever hurt murray or max, they better hope the cops get to them first

I'm really needing some help here finding much that is going right in this world.

Guess I need a little cheering up because that has really got me down

That is horrible. I always worry so much about Clancy - people are so cruel. A few years ago a man I used to house-sit/dog-sit for was robbed, well his house was. Zeke (the dog) was home at the time and they intruders beat him within an inch of his life. It was horrible - but the vets were able to save him but from then on out he would have nothing to do with strangers - it was so sad.

Well that didn't help cheer you up now did it.

Sometimes it seems that there is a shortage of good in the world.

people who do that **** are F*CKED UP!
you dont hurt innocent animals for no reason

thats even why i hate when my cat is on the porch IN A CAGE because i'm afraid some assbag in the neighborhood will just let her out, and shes in indoor cat, so she might never come back, and to be honest, shes my best friend

I'm sorry. I think about bad things people do to animals a lot. I've heard too many stories I wish I never had. It is hard to be cheered up from that. I guess I just try to think of all the wonderful animals that are still alive, some that I own, some my friends own, and some I get to pet on the street. (OMG, the cutest, most lovely funny dog just moved in right next to my work. Today before and after work, I totally threw her stick/bone for her. She's behind a fence, but it's bars like a jail, so you can pet her. She's so funny, she was throwing her own stick up and catching it today. I always pet her if she's out. She's one of those dogs that is so friendly that they have to hop around and jump and be all excited and lick). And all the other great ones. But of course, the worst part is knowing there are so many people in the world who would harm animals.

So, did that cheer you up?

I just keep all the animals' souls in my heart, and know that it will make me sad sometimes, or a lot, but that is okay, because I'll be happy again - both when I stop thinking about it, and every new time I meet a lovely animal, or see one on TV do something amazing, or when I pet my cats.
Wow, that was pretty cheese. But true.

Thats sooooo sad.

Go hug Murray and Max for us.

Rickypt · #6 06-18-2007, 07:37 PM

Really, I don't know what else to say. This is a really sad and depressing story.

carrie721 · #7 06-18-2007, 07:49 PM

****. that is so terrible. call me if you need to - i'll be thinking of you

mikeschmike · #8 06-18-2007, 07:52 PM

People can do such terrible things. Thankfully there is an opposite end of the spectrum, where people like you give their free time to volunteer for animals. And like most of us, you've brought animals into your home to love and care for.

If there's any justice in this world, the robbers will be reincarnated as Mick's synth vest in their next life. It's the most cruel punishment I can think of.

Michelle, I am sorry that at time you encounter such A**holes in your life like you did. It's so sad, disturbing and wrong that you just think WTF?!?! Some people in this world are just a waste of sperm and do nothing to contribute to the good of society. It's sad that we have to interact with these people, but we do.

I truely hope that you can start feeling better, but I know what disturbing stuff can do to you. We just found out that our Greyhound has cancer and it's all that you can think about for a long time.

Like I said, hope you start feeling better soon. And we all love ya.

Of course you can. I'm trying to cheer the poor thing up! She can't be sad. Not on her birthday! Not on Rex Manning day!

Well, you cheered me up, and I had a bad day. Naturally that is before I remembered it was Rex Manning Day time. Although they have the look of people who might not eschew a good synth vest thumping.

But let us not speculate about that on such a lovely birthday.

michelle2677 · #13 06-18-2007, 09:24 PM

if there's one thing I get worked up about, it's animal abuse.

well...and teeth. er...and denim on denim. oh and eyebrows too. even belly buttons

OKAY OKAY!.. but still. I can't even imagine what that guy is going through right now. If someone wanted anything of mine (not that I have anything lol) but I would be more than happy to do anything for anyone. I'd give them all the money I had, but don't hurt my dogs. I just don't get how people can be so thoughtless.

but thanks guys

I really am feeling better

I knew you all would understand. Some people don't. my grandparents don't and I would never be able to tell them that story because they would just piss me off. They wouldn't feel the way I do and I'd get so angry

okay..good thoughts..good thoughts

and I did give the boys big hugs and slurpy kisses!!!
