i don't even go to my mailbox until it's dark. that's how bad it is. i can't look at them. i cry.

i just fed Butch his boiled eggs, realizing that i might not see him when i get home tomorrow after work. that will really hurt, but for the sake of the other three, they all need to go. he'll find a home. he's the sweetest dog i know. when he grins, his whole face lights up. the parting will cause sweet sorrow and i'll get through it cause i know how mistreated and abused the others are. and if the court takes one, they take them all.

this is very, very emotional for me......i love that dog so much.........and dislike those people equally as much.........xoxoxo thanks again, friends, you've helped me when i really needed it on this situation..........love, pat

p.s. for an overview on the adults there, the teen came over last night and her stepmother had refused to buy her any pads for her period. i went and got them for her.
