i agree with you, lailajo. i don't know, i take this so personally. i love dogs, mine are as dear as children to me. i'd never shoot my kids if i weren't able to take care of them. i'd rather die! gyspy (4 years old) and casey (15 years old) are both spayed and neutered respectively and they are both extremely happy. hell, they eat better than us! honestly, between them, the 2 birds and the cat (and charley, the angelfish) i spend more on them than i do on myself. please don't flame me, but i'm glad that guy got shot! now, excuse me, i have to go hug my fuzzy friends.
