That’s weird, I have a good friend who is exactly the same way with pets and had the same incident with a Chihuahua. Guys are always buying her things and a few times it’s been puppies or kittens. It’s like they are disposable objects, like CD’s you get sick of, not the responsibility of a living, breathing, animal, to some people.
That’s good to hear the little guy has such a happy home with you guys now.
