What breaks my heart is the untold thousands of pets
@Griefer:
It can always be worse, it just hurts closer to home when it's one of ours.
My Bree was an IKE rescue. We were not planning on getting another dog, but so many needed help, it was only one, but also one less.
So yes, it could be worse, but let's not forget the lucky ones that are all stressed also. 4951
