My niece made a comment like that to me only once. When I was done "explaining" things to her, she never said anything again. Your friends bully is gorgeous and more importantly loved and taken care of. That is what people should recognize. Ignorance bothers me.
Doing well, thanks! Each day I get happier as he improves and recovers! I missed him so much and was so worried when he was at the vets. It is amazing to have him home again.
