    Default I'm trying to find this endearing, but.....

    Chantal, the girls' foster mom popped by yesterday with some prezzies for them. Lovely. Except that they had come from the family who had abandoned them at ages 11 and 12 "because we just don't have time for them anymore." They obviously have little kids who miss them, because inside the package (posted to Chantal, but marked "for Heidi and Ferkel") were two squeaky toys, and a kid's drawing of a bunch of hearts. So I'm guessing that the kids are missing the girls and the idiot parents are feeling guilty. Perhaps fewer guilt toys and keeping the dogs might have just been a bit better for all concerned (except me, of course, cuz these are pretty special little dogs!! )

    The family does not deserve the girls. They are happy and loved now.

    I totally agree!

    And I agree with Yo. That family doesn't deserve the dogs and you definitely do. They are so much better off with you.

    And, yeah, I'd have trouble finding it endearing

    The pups are definitely in the best home ever. I wonder what the parents told the kids before they made the dogs disappear. Great lesson on caring for those you love. Ditch them. I am glad they are with you Paula.

    I feel HAPPY for your new furkids, cuz they're now safe & secure in a perfect loving home. Sad for those children who lost their little buddies. So HAPPY for you & Patti!

    These parents are setting the example to be followed by the kids who will grow up and choose their nursing home. Ain't that a witch?

    Yup. that thought has already crossed my mind. karma, she may take awhile, but she can be a bitch, nonetheless.
