Well I need to rant for a bit...

My husband and I met a couple that actually lived in same area of Florida as we did, this is a small town so it was just so weird.. Anyway we met them about 4 years ago. We got together often and at first it was enjoyable. Chris is her name. She told me after we all had been doing dinner a month of so that people are weird around here because they just drop friends out of the blue. Well........ About 6-8 months later I could certainly see why people just walk away. We stopped going out for dinner. Her Husband Jimmy is a really nice guy.

Shes all about rescuing dumped or lost dogs and cats... She posts about the animal all over the area on Facebook. People will praise her because she will say well I cant afford to care for all these animals but I just cant leave them. Sounds wonderful right? here's the kicker, She literally drives all over town looking for strays because she finds them a new home but requires a re homing fee. She has also picked up some peoples pets, if they are super friendly and loves just getting into anyones car.

But people praise her and tell her she is a angel and a blessing to save all these poor animals.. Right now she has 2 2 week old puppies shes hand feeding around the clock and posting pics of them and saying how exhausting it is to feed around the clock... Seeking praise

Her Mom is 96 years old and is needing alot of care, she can still walk and feed herself she does have Dementia but still knows who everyone is for the most part. Chris posted on Facebook last week that her Mom just doesnt know what a " sacrifice" her and her husband are making by caring for her and not dumping her in a nursing home !!! ( WTF) I would give anything to still have my parents alive and care for them..

Today she complained on Facebook that she placed a pick up order at the grocery store and to have it delivered.. She literally lives 5 minutes from the store.. She was Bytching that they didnt give her all that she ordered and a few things they substituded . So she sent her Husband to the store to get a refund and pick correct things ( WTF ) Kroger is not accepting returns because they were purchased and taken home, They can not risk it having Corona virus on it. She is livid over this . My reply on Facebook was they cant take that risk and we should all be happy that they are open and have a decent amount of food on the shelves, sure some stuff is sold out. This is a scary time for everyone and we should be grateful that there is food to purchase.

Now back to her complaints about caring for her Mom, She is angry the state wont pay HER for taking care of her Mother, She whines all the time about being exhausted taking care of her mom, Yet she is taking in 2 week old puppies?? Priorities right?

I am just so disgusted by her actions and talking about her Mother this way but having more compassion for stray animals.

I just don't understand people. Do a good deed and go about life. Why shoout to world about it??? wanting to be praised for everything? No just stopt it !! don't be a shytty human being

Sorry guys I just had to vent
