We think my dad's yellow lab died from bloat. It wasn't a fun way for him to go and my dad was really sad, but what can you do? My dad was notorious for overfeeding him and Sam would just wolf it down and then drink a ton of water. His good appetite probably did him in.
I'm sorry about your dad's dog but you're right, what can you do? Go on with your life and when you're up to it, get another dog is about it. Lots of people overfeed their pets, I'm guilty of it myself. We kill them with kindness.
But the woman in this story is a major nutjob. She really does need to get a life.
I just took a peek at your homepage, congrats on the new baby!! She's beautiful and your boys are darling.
I have 5 kids, 4 girls and 1 boy, ages 16 to 6. My husband would like to have more but I don't think my poor body can do it again.
As for movie scores, Out Of Africa is one of my favorites. The Piano (with Holly Hunter) is a great one, too.
