The Mother Of......

Would you be okay with your husband introducing you as "The mother of the puppy killer" ?

Let me explain.

A lady in town breeds dogs, and was bringing them to our store 2 or 3 at a time so people could see and possibly buy them.
Brook LOVES animals, but isn't soft with them. She's actually kind of rough. One night she was holding one of the dogs, and Jay told her to put the dog away so they could go home. Nobody saw what happened next, but she must have "thrown" the dog instead of setting in the cage nicely. It started having seizures and went completely limp. The dog had to be put down. It was very sad, and I know Brook felt bad because she was in love with that dog.

The lady who breeds the dogs took the news well when we told her what had happened, and of course we paid for the dog. This lady came to get dog food today, and Jay introduced me to her as "the mother of the puppy killer."

So tactful. In fact tact should be his middle name.

Oh man alive. That's a sad story. And Justin would owe me at least a 45 minute massage if he introduced me that way :)
