Found him again tonight. Unfortunetly, I didn’t have anything I could use as a leash this time, and by the time I’d gone home and returned with a leash, he was long gone. Hopefully, he makes it home okay on his own. Gah. Fuckers.

Of course, if you post something that’s already been addressed in a later post which you have yet to get to, you’ll look like a fool. It’s also bad form and can be confusing to those who have been keeping up with the thread.

**Miller** , you’ve got to be kidding. He was out _again_?

Is there anyone left who thinks that the owner has any friggin’ clue how to properly care for this poor animal?

All this whining about depriving him of his beloved pet and about how Miller was wrong and unfair to “judge” that this guy wasn’t a fit dog owner is pretty meaningless now. Even after nearly losing the dog permanently, this assmunch hasn’t figured out some way, even some stopgap measure, to control his poor animal.

**Miller** , you’re the best thing that’s happened to that dog.
