I finally had to talk to the idiot!!!

Crap, again, I hate being the bigger person. Today I had to put our doggy to sleep. It turned out he had cancer and was going to starve to death otherwise. So, I sobbingly took him in and did the deed, I hate being the mom. So he was originally my DH's dog with the ex and the kids. They had him for 14 years, so al the kids grew up with him. We had him the last 3 of those 14 years and I became quite attached. I am a real real real animal lover. When idiot moved to another county, she was eaving him home the whole week and feeding him one big dish of food. She NEVER took him in for check ups, grroming or anything. I actually stole him from her house once and had him clipped and washed-she didn't even notice, then threw a fit when she found out. So anyway, we told her he needed to be at our house since he was really my DH's dog anyway (he was renting when they split up so he didn't get him then) and that she was neglecting him. Shortly after that we "adopted" my SS16 cat too (at his request).

So today, I texted her to call me when she got off work (I was trying to be nice and not tell her at work). I made the mistake of thinking she woud be as upset as I was since she had him for 12 years. So, of course, she called me right then (I was still sobbing) and I told her what hapened. That cold hearted, selfish ice bitch didn't even flinch!!! She said, oh are you crying. I felt like an idiot and told her I had to go. She thanked me for letting her know. What a piece of sh**.

Oh well, at least I know I did the right thing and she can't bitch that I didn't tell her. I am exhausted, I had a final today (got a 96%), spent a ton of money on killing the family dog and spent another ton of money putting my SS17 on our insurance. I need to sleep, I have another final exam at 8 am.

Your BMs reaction doesn't surprise me, tho. Anyone who would leave an animal like she did is totally cold hearted.

We just went thru an issue with SD14's dog, that was basically dumped on me at Christmas. BM would not take him back for ONE day so I could go see my son. I told H to tell See You Next Tuesday that there will be nothing coming from this house to hers from this day forward. I always gave SD14 money to buy her mother's Christmas, Mothers Day, etc gifts. No more. Nothing. Nada.

I've tried to be really nice to the woman. No more. That See You Next Tuesday is going to find out what a bitsh I truly can be.

I didn't want her to go all asshole on the kids when she found out from them. She has a serious probem acting like an adult and hiding her feeling or outbursts until they aren't in the room.

I am so very sorry for your loss.I am currently fighting back the tears.I had to put my puppy down when she was 7yrs old because of cancer it is an awful feeling but know that you did the right thing by your pooch.As for BM screw her! She obviously has no heart and will die cold and alone someday.You gave your love to your puppy and I am sure he knew who his real family was.You are a big hearted person who cares enough to put yourself out there to let BM know about a family members passing and she didnt care.I commend you for who and how you are but save yourself the agony hun and dont bother telling that bitch squat anymore.I left you a poem a friend gave me the day my puppy passed. Again I am sorry for your loss...BB

Just this side of heaven is a place called Rainbow Bridge.

When an animal dies that has been especially close to someone here, that pet goes to Rainbow Bridge.
There are meadows and hills for all of our special friends so they can run and play together.
There is plenty of food, water and sunshine, and our friends are warm and comfortable.

All the animals who had been ill and old are restored to health and vigor; those who were hurt or maimed are made whole and strong again, just as we remember them in our dreams of days and times gone by.
The animals are happy and content, except for one small thing; they each miss someone very special to them, who had to be left behind.

They all run and play together, but the day comes when one suddenly stops and looks into the distance. His bright eyes are intent; His eager body quivers. Suddenly he begins to run from the group, flying over the green grass, his legs carrying him faster and faster.

You have been spotted, and when you and your special friend finally meet, you cling together in joyous reunion, never to be parted again. The happy kisses rain upon your face; your hands again caress the beloved head, and you look once more into the trusting eyes of your pet, so long gone from your life but never absent from your heart.

Then you cross Rainbow Bridge together....

That was so beautiful-thank you so much. I so often try to give my kind words to strangers as you have done for me and wonder if they have an impact or help at all. Now I know. Thank you so much.

I to am a HUGE animal lover and infact had to put my baby to sleep last new years eve. He was 13 and I myself was a wreck, I had recieved him when I was 16 right after my brother passed and he (ask my kids) was my first born, my fur child. Most people who know me arent't surprised at how wrecked I was but some people still talked like I was dumb or something. I can't believe that cold hearted BM could be so heartless to a loving (furry child)that was only here to love. Just know that Bitches like her will end up alone and no one will visit her as she whithers away.While no one will take her for groomings,and someone will make sure to throw her a big bowl of kibble and lock her ass in the house for weeks at a time..... Sorry soft spot for HOPELESS? Yep

just before I sent him to a much happier place. Some may think it is morbid or wierd or whatever, but he was so calm and sweet befor he left us, it made me happy to see him not hurting anymore.

She sounds like my sister...sigh...she's had 3 dogs...first one a dalmatian...she gave away within 6 mos because the dog was getting to big and tearing up things...or so she said...funny, my mom lives in the house she used to live in and I can't imagine that dog ever messed up anything...years later she got a second dog...her husband would hit the dog if the dog did anything, and of course, her evil kid did the same thing...the dog finally tried to bite one of the kids, she got rid of him too...and now a third dog...she goes out of town and leaves him the week/weekend alone in her house and expects my dad to go over to take care of the dog...mind you, she has a 400K HOUSE!!! During the day she leaves the dog outside 99% of the time, whether it's hot, cold or rainy...if the weather will be way too bad, she'll leave him in a kennel (too small for the dog) in her house...she's too cheap to buy a new one...

I do anything for my dog...I can't imagine people like this...pathetic...
