Some people you never know - Tragic-

[Armistead]

My wife was having a vaccination clinic at the kennel today, one of the county vets comes, but he didn't show. She finally got a call he had committed suicide, euthanized himself at his office. Really took us by surprise, seemed a happy fellow overall, but his wife suffered some mental illness.

He had 23 dogs at his business, all his dogs, but for the life of me I can't understand, because they were in rough shape. Sure a case of leftovers and trying to find homes for dogs. He left a letter for us to take the dogs, so all of them hauled over. Seems he was dead since Thursday.

They got the dogs cleaned up, fed and looked over. One of the workers husband was helping transport the dogs to the kennel, but let a large doberman get loose, ran down to the main road. I was headed that way when I heard tires scream, dog ran over, car all messed up, so sure that will be a claim. The cop was very nice anyway.

His wife was committed by police to a mental health hospital after she got the news.

Anyway, glad I'm back home, my wife will be busy all night, but thankfully several people and one vet came to help.

I guess you can never know the burdens people carry inside.
