Accidental animal crueltyI once invented a brilliant game - I'd sit at the top of the stairs and throw cat biscuits to the bottom. My cat would eat them, then I'd shake the box, and he would run up the stairs for more biscuits. Then - of course - I'd throw a biscuit back down to the bottom. I kept this going for about half an hour, amused at my little game, and all was fine until the cat vomited. I felt absolutely dreadful.
Have you accidentally been cruel to an animal?
This question has been revived from way, way, way back on the b3ta messageboard when it was all fields round here.

Retirement sucksI am a dog handler. My first dog is called Max. Max and I went through a grueling three month training course together. We then worked together for about four years before arthritis got the better of Max. The day Max retired I bought him home after work and I bawled.
Now nearly three years later, Max is still alive. Every morning when I go to work with my new dog Max cries and whimpers at being left behind. I still feel awful every day, that my old workmate is so upset.
It's almost impossible not to be sentimental when you work as a dog handler, but it feels like animal cruelty.

Dunno why but...Why do dog handlers always call their dogs Max?

*clicks*That's cute, even if it's a little sad.
