Some of you will recall my post from a couple of weeks ago about euthanizing my boxer.
Thanks again to all the kind folks who expressed their sympathy and support. DH, DS and I are doing much better and are at the point where we can gently reminsice about her.
Unfortunately, DH had a very upsetting encounter the other day in connection with Bailey. I'm really scratching my head about this woman's behavior -
We buy our dog food from a small, privately owned pet shop in our town. It's a superpremium brand not carried by big box stores, and I like the idea of supporting local small business. Yesterday, DH had to go for the first time since Bailey's death to get some food. We have known the woman who owns the shop for seven years. We have a lot in common, including nationality and a shared language that is not english. I also travel regularly to her country of origin for work, and we normally talk for up to half an hour everytime we get food.
When DH went yesterday, he told her that one of our dogs died, and that we would only be needing one bag of food each visit from now on. Instead of expressing sympathy, she started YELLING at DH, asking him what was she supposed to do now, she has relied on us to always get two bags and this will mess up her whole business! He was so shocked he actually bought two bags, even though now it will take more than two months to use it up because it is 80 pounds of food. Maybe I'm just still frail, but I can't believe her reaction and now I never want to go back there again.
Just had to get that off my chest.

I would definitely be trying to find another place to get the food.
