That's all I have to say on the matter

I am a horrible person. It was confirmed today when I took Millie back to the pound. It’s almost certain, unless by chance someone takes a chance on her, that she will be put to sleep next Thursday.

I made the decision this morning after a hell’va night last night. I managed to get Puss inside for the first time since she arrived on the scene. I put Puss in the bedroom and pulled the door to. Millie managed to get in and Puss just hissed at her. Millie barked at him, he ran, she followed, and Puss being slower than he used to be because of his arthritis, she caught him. I caught her as she got him. She let him go and he dashed out the kitchen window which was still open a smidge.

She jumped on the bed three ties in the night. Three times I had to get her down. Each time I lay there listening to her wander the house, wondering what she was chewing now.

This morning, I fed her as usual. Rang a few ‘No kill’ rescues and was told they don’t take surrenders.

I rang the three animal behaviour specialists that I contacted by email on Saturday and that I haven’t heard back from. No answer, and no voice mail.

For the first time since I got her, she lay quietly, just looking up at me.


When I returned from the pound, both Puss and Oren where waiting in the backgarden, but Cara waited for me to let her out the back of the car.


By surrendering Millie the black dog…The Black Dog has wormed his way back into the house. I’m a horrible person.

You have done the right thing. Your other animals should come first.
