This has *not* been the best Holiday season. Between that stupid allergic reaction that knocked me out for a whole month, and the book addiction thing, I didn't get 2 of the projects I wanted to do done, and I'm racing to finish the last one before Saturday. Then my brakes went... $300. out of the running. Then today, the worst thing ever...
We killed a dog on the way home from shopping for Christmas dinner.
I hatehatehate people! There was no reason for that dog to have been outside! It was small enough to not be a dog that you just let outside for a while. We waited more than 20 minutes for the police to show up, and in that whole time, no one came looking for it. Then, when the police man checked, there was no address or phone # on the tag. And still, no one came. And I really hope that it didn't belong to a kid that was going to get off the school bus and see it lying there!
If you can't watch your animal when it's outside, GET A CAT! Or a fish, or a turtle, or bird.
All I can say, is I know it went quick, and didn't suffer, and that's pretty much the only thing keeping me sane right now. I've never hit a pet in my life! I've made road kill of a squirrel, a chipmunk, and a skunk since moving to this back of beyond, and before that, I had never hit anything. We've come close to a deer or 2, but that's it, and then this assclown goes and ignores their animal!
I hope their turkey gives them botulism, and they die slow painful deaths!
As always,
Thanks for Noticing me.
