(15,220 posts)40. I should be ashamed of myself, I guess. But I am so tired of this story being in the news.
This poor woman had more than her share of hell on earth. I'm so sorry that she felt she couldn't go on, and I am sorry she killed the dog (sincerely) because he had no choice. It's all simply very sad.
But I'm really ready for the publicity of this story to stop. (This is NOT a cut to the OP for posting, just a commentary that these stories seem to perpetuate in the media indefinitely).

So you absolve McCready of any responsibility? How about Adam Lanza? Columbine?

It's a good thing they had the children removed from the home. If she was willing to shoot the dog
