Ok, it must be the week for lost animals or something. Earlier in the week we had 3 kittens dropped off at our house, then last night someone found a Pug running around downtown and handed it to my SIL and she brought it here.
Now I've had to be the bad guy 2x this week and I HATE being the bad guy!
![Cry :'(](https://bigpawsonly.com/Smileys/default/cry.gif)
First we couldn't even bring the kittens inside because Jay is severely allergic/asthmatic. So we made a little bed on the porch and put some tender vittles out for the little ones. I finally found a local vet to take them in, which ended up breaking my kids' hearts. Especially my daughter's, she was crying and unconsolable for hours and is still upset about it. Don't I feel like a horrid mom now...
Then, get this, my SIL was planning on KEEPING the Pug! I told her we had to look for its owners first, since I've seen people walking pugs downtown. Her and her BF figured since it was her birthday yesterday, and someone handed her the dog it was fair game. Before I went to bed they finally agreed to let me call around this AM.
As soon as I woke up, I started calling local vets and AC. At first I had no luck, but then the owners called AC and got my number about 10 min after I called them. The people were crying they were so happy that we had their boy. They were moving into an apt yesterday, and both their pugs had ran out the door while they were bringing stuff in. They found the female, but the male took off. So I was happy, but when I told my SIL and her BF, they were upset. They were like, "Oh, we thought you weren't going to call until later" and then they admitted that they were going to try and leave before I called anyone!!!! So now they're pissy at me because they didn't get a free pug or a reward.
UGH!!!!! I am so angry right now its not even funny! I mean, it freaks me out that people would actually do that! I pray to God that I never lose one of my crew, because I'd be hysterical thinking that someone would decide to keep them without even looking for their owner.
