A Dog I Know

[jennyjoan]

Am so happy - the dog is dead - he is 16 and badly neglected. Hip horray.

Before anybody says anything yes, I did report it - such a sad animal. Bye bye Pablo

[Tilly2]

Well that's cheered me up!

I'm glad he's out of his misery, whatever that might have been.

[Islay]

Jenny are you OK today?

[Baldric]

??

[Mamyalynne]

Poor lad some people are dreadful.

RIP Pablo.

[ummmm]

And this made you happy?

[Islay]

Who did you report it too - what action was taken?

Did you keep reporting it?

[B00]

Possibly happy the wrong word, maybe 'relieved' would've been a better term?

[ummmm]

Hip Horray, B00...

[woofgang]

better hope the owner doesn’t get another one

[anneasquith]

Poor dog. Some people are so horrible conne.

[B00]

Sorry ummmm?

[Canary42]

I quite understand your elation JJ at this unhappy, unloved and aged dog being put out of its undoubted misery - please ignore those who seem to be looking to pick a fight over your attitude.

[ummmm]

B00 - you said maybe happy was the wrong word but following it with 'Hip horray' suggests not.

[B00]

oh right, didn't get what you were on about.

I haveta admit that Conne's posts often befuddle me, I was trying to figure this one out too.

[anneasquith]

We!l said canary .

[B00]

Still think elation and happy are the wrong terms to use when something's died, as I said I think relieved would be more appropriate- no??

[Chipchopper]

If the dog has suffered a long decline and is now released from pain and the best was done to comfort him.
Maybe the time was right and you can consider it as a mixed blessing.
16 seems a good age for any dog.

Was the dog neglected for the whole of its life?? If so, that's horrendous. Poor soul.

[Smowball]

How do you know it was neglected?

[jennyjoan]

take my word for it
