I'm not an AE, I lurk on most boards (including this one). Pianoman is right, however, that there were at least half a dozen posts on the first page saying it wasn't her fault.

It's horrible it happened for everyone involved, but it could have been prevented. Lesson learned.

So nice of you as a lurker to make sure to point this out. I'm sure you feel so much better about yourself now, making sure to make someone who's already had a rough go of things lately feel worse about something she already admittedly knew was a tragic mistake.

What the fuck is wrong with everyone today?

I need the "well GOOD FOR YOU" gif right about now. MWOS, can you dig that up for me?

Also, you state the the leash was not by the door, but it slipped your mind to put it on? Obviously it didn't slip your mind if you noticed it was not there.

I hope the next time you fuck up everyone here makes sure to make you feel worse.

Fuck the hell off.

Still, kindly fuck off.

Really? You can't come up with anything better than to cuss at her.

This person claims to live next to Evee. Clearly he/she is already not making the best life choices.

So, everyone that happens to live by Evee, automatically makes poor life choices? LOL

Pretty much, yes.

FFS pianoman, how big is the stick that's up your ass?

I've already said it was my fault, so I'm not sure what else you want here.

And until you prove otherwise I am going to continue to assume you're evee. If that's the case than who the fuck are you to judge anyone?

Is it hard for you being perfect and never making a mistake in your life?

Jlm, I'm sorry

(((jlm)))

I'm sickened right now. jlm, please, don't be too hard on yourself. It's ok to feel guilty, you are a good person, and you've had a rough go of things lately. It was the middle of the night, I'm sure you were woken out of a sound sleep, and your mind was foggy.
Honestly, if this was a friend of yours who knows you well, I'm kinda pissed he asked you to watch his dog. I'd assume he knows you have a lot of stress right now, and taking on this extra responsibility was a shitty thing for him to ask of you. (for the asshole lurkers/AEs, no, I'm not blaming the friend, but you can still go fuck yourselves).

Jesus christ, I was only responding to all of the people saying "IT'S NOT YOUR FAULT!!!!" I wasn't piling on the guilt bus.

Toledo, you're right? I don't know what you want here.

Sorry jlm that you're dealing with this.

I'm really sorry this happened to you, and I feel so sad for the owner, too. He will understandably be mad, and I agree with Sue Sue to keep apologizing. I would get him a condolence card (they made some sweet one for pets) and write a heartfelt apology, and of course take care of any related expenses including giving them money for the dog if it was a dog they purchased.

Yes, it was a big mistake, but we all make mistakes and shit happens. I'm sorry

Oh how terrible. I am so sorry.
When I was a kid, we were walking to the car with my sisters dachshund just like any other day without a leash, he usually never left her side. Something caught his attention and he took off running he was hit by a car and just continued running. We chased him for 35 minutes when we finally caught him and took him to the vet, his injuries were minimal but the terror we all felt was long lasting:(
My heart goes out to you and the family.

There are a lot of apologists in this post. I don't even know what to say. JLM obviously know it was a horrible mistake and is sorry; there is no point beating her up; it was definitely not the owner's fault for trusting her (I mean, really, she is an adult, she could have said no if she wasn't up to it); I am not sure a sympathy card is appropriate; I would offer to cover all consequential costs including compensating the owner for the cost of the dog; and I would expect the owner to be furious.

JLM- I am sorry this happened while you are already going through a difficult time.

chiming in to say so so So sorry jim. I didn't want to read more than a few sentences this morning so i stayed away from the post. I didn't want to be bummed out all day. I hope you don't beat yourself up too bad over this

Exactly this. This situation is a good example of no good deed goes unpunished. She's going through a horrible time right now and these people really should have boarded their dog.
I've had so many people ask me to watch their pets, assuming because I love animals that I don't mind running a boarding business. I've stopped doing it because an accident can happen so easily, especially to someone not familiar with the pet's routine. In doing a person a favor, you are taking on a huge responsibility and liability.

I'm not blaming the owners here. Just kind of annoyed that they could ask a favor of jlm at this time.

The whole thing is just really sad. I'm sorry.
