Re: Pets and Bricks

The other dog was a purebred Dachshund, about 4 years younger. She was
adopted shortly after being brought to the shelter. Dreyfuss was left for
several months.

I hope that the other dog found a good home. Our humane society doesn't have
follow-up. Though they request that a dog be returned if it doesn't work
out, there is no law. I know of more than one dog that was loved by its
foster family, and was turned in to animal control, which only holds for 3
days. The dogs were dead before the foster  families had a chance to re-home
them.

What kind of a lesson? Like, "we'll buy you a toy, but if you displease us,
you're out the door??"  I dunno. Maybe it was the kid's chance to express
their feelings and grieve.
