You know that I am putting out feelings here, thoughts. I suffer for my dogs and my child. I anger that she hurts them. I know that at least one of them could be re-housed but but what about the others. They should not have to suffer loss and sadness because of me. Could I actually do this? Probably not. I love these guys and hubby and I are making plans about what would need to happen to keep them safe. We are installing special locks on my door she can't open and we are making a new insulated kennel for them. Still I feel a guilt knowing they have had the run of the house and now we do this to them. I am evewn looking for a couch for the basement for the so that we can have a sitting area with them there. After I just gave 2 away.

I put the cat to sleep as I have experienced the fear that animals go through with a stranger, a vet. It is awful. She was quite near death and I made it quicker so she not suffer.

Greenleaves, I too believe this child will not have another chance. Her harming of animals is just getting worse as she becomes more jealous and attached to me. This is the only reason I am suffering so, the plight of the child. She loves me, she called to say goodnight at 9:00. I want what is best for her, as an adult I am ready to suffer. And really, truly, I could not kill my dogs. Wouldn't happen. Just spewing I guess. I AM IN PAIN. No fun this kind. Wish I only had me to wallow about.
