Title: GOing to be a fun night.
Post by: TAB on June 06, 2013, 01:12:49 PM
so I am back in ca, just picked up the remains of my friends guide dog, its been 5.5 weeks since it was put down.  Going to give them too her tonight.    :(   she does not know they are coming or even I am in town.   I figured I would call her in a bit and pick her up from work.

After 5 1/2 weeks she's probably starting to get over the dogs death then TAB shows up on her doorstep saying "Hi, here's whats left of your dead best friend".
All I know is what he posted above , but on that basis I would really think hard before doing that.

yeah....I can only figure there might be a reason she hasn't claimed the remains for a month and a half...

Getting it done might be what is needed, but then, it might not.

My guess is TAB knows more than  he has told us and he is doing what is best....don't agree with everything he says, but I sure don't think he is thoughtless.

I hope the dog was cremated. If not this is going to be very awkward.  ;)

THe reason she has not claimed then is becuase she can't see and they are about 70 miles away.     we have been talking about it alot.  She wants them,

TAB, your post was a little odd and cryptic. Your actions...noble.

I didn't think you were that much of an A Hole .
But your post left the possibility open .
On the other hand it might have been that former friend you posted about a while back.

We've seen TAB talk of helping lots of less fortunate folks...from those he hired who were down and out to give them another chance, to training kids in martial arts and supporting a student in the Special Olympics and trying to help blind folks become capable of self defense...

I didn't think a person like that would be that heartless, even to a ex-friend who had betrayed him.  He might have proved me wrong, but I'd have given odds on any bet he would not.

True, but the razzing helps him keep things in perspective . 
And he didn't give us any back story

Yeah...but I think the no back story was to see where the thread might go...sort of like a misleading headline...

Nothing like giving a bunch of outspoken opinionated gun nuts a puzzle to discuss.
