Reply #3: Sounds like you took your responsibility seriously

[BlueGirlRedState]

I'm not a huge animal fan, and even my husband and kids will tell you that. But it seems I'm the only one who remembers to check their food and water, let them in and out of the house. My kids, who "own" the animals, should do it, but I'm the one who does. Because it's a family responsibility, and the animals depend on us. Sometimes, with kids and dogs, you do what you signed up for, even if it's not as you expected it would be.

Rest well, good and faithful servant (and I'm not talking about the dog). Making decisions about another life is never easy.
