Horrifying cruelty...

I really debated as to whether or not I wanted to post this. I hate listening to stories like this. But things like this happen, and there are people capable of such behavior out there, so it's probably better to broadcast it far and wide than to run from it...



After watching this, I took Noodles outside for a walk. I set her sit on a small, newly planted weeping cherry tree for a while, just so she could say that she's been in a tree by herself (she looked a little freaked-out, actually). Then we went to sit in the shade by the stream, across from the woods, for a while. She likes that.
