Good grief. I just don't even know what to say!!
Totally speechless, what the hell is wrong with people?
You know, I'll say something more. This lady is supposed to be a recovering alcoholic. If she is using something like the 12 step, isn't it contrary to those values to continue harm on people, especially as it relates to drinking and also isn't it a problem to use excuses for bad behavior? I just can't believe she gets the dog, gives it to someone for a gift, and then writes the owners to tell them. No shame!
And then the owners...I know the love for a pet, but to reward the woman for her bad behavior. How about put the compassion train to rest, bring her on charges, and have the cops go get the dog. Their guilt is misplaced...because they take action to get something that belongs to them does not make them guilty of making this woman's life any more miserable--she already accomplished that herself--it sounds like she's done a lifetime of things to make her life miserable.
