LOL it would be sort of play acting on being sympathetic, something like; "I know it's been hard on you with coco getting out all the time, if it's to much for you, don't feel bad as there are lots of people that choose not to own a pet for those type of reasons. You should not have to keep going through this over and over again. I could help you if you want because I know people that can help you find Coco a new home" This way it comes off as helpful not combative, which like you I would like to be. |
I really like this approach Donna..small towns are hard because almost everyone knows or is related to the person in question...and this is a pretty well known family. I knew of them and went to school with one of their sons. It has really thrown me for a loop that they would be this type of pet owner.
