It isn't about the money. I don't care about being reimbursed for that.
Truthfully, DH is right, the chi is probably in a better home now. The lady she gave her to LOVES dogs, spoils them rotten.
It just makes me mad that she could just give her away like that. And for a POM? Just last week I made a comment that I though Susie (the chi) would look cute with long hair and the MIL was all, "Oh no! I won't ever have another long haired dog. That's too much trouble and upkeep." So now she wants a Pom? Did she forget what they look like? Last I checked they had long hair.
I just get mad because of their (and I mean his entire immediate family) lack of compassion for animals and the way they regard them as objects. I can't stand hearing, "It ain't nothin' but a dog."
I think my patience has just run out over the past few years.
