(304 posts)This dog incident apparently happened 20 years ago when her daughter was a child. Still waiting for the daughter to speak up about what it was like for her dog to be murdered when she was just a child. Kristi has tried other dodges but has been silent on this angle. Will her daughter defend the dog killing or does Kristi know this is another ticking bomb she is sitting on?
