Brussels...

Hey ya'll! I'm a little disturbed today but i'll get to that in a bit...as for good news, Wes' back is feeling much better, he actually had an xray done today and the doc said everything looks good and normal..so that's a relief! He had a good practice thismorning too, so let's hope it continues to get better and heal!
We ended up taking both Bentley and Stella to the vet today for kennel cough, Stella's been on her meds for a week already and it seems like it's gotten worse, and now with Bentley coughing we were convinced that he caught it also...we got more medicane so both doggies should be ok ;)
On to tonight...Charlotte met Wes and in Brussels at a really good restaurant called "Amadeo" it's a rib place (go figure!) Ribs are our favorite! We had a good dinner and it was really nice to have Charlotte come up and join us.. as we walked to our car, we joined Wes who had went outside to the little square in the middle of downtown to play fetch with Bentley, when a nice dog came up to him just to sniff him out, and all of the sudden the owner (who is homeless, and drunk..might i add) proceeds to scream and yell and KICK his dog as he yalped in pain!!! I was so angry I got my mase out and wanted to mase his face! Wes stopped me though...I just don't understand people. Wes was outside earlier than Charlotte and I and said that he had been kicking and beating his dog the whole time he was out there...This is very upsetting to me..i know there is nothing I can do to stop ignorant people who treat their animals like dirt but it's just so hard to see a poor innocent animal get treated like that by their owner. I wanted so badly to snatch the little guy up and take him to the nearest shelter...I have a feeling that scenario could've ended badly though.. Charlotte said that a lot of the homeless people have dogs and she's seen that happen before..that is just too sad for words. So tonight ended up not being a very good night. If it were up to me, i'd own 500 animals if it meant not ever seeing that again, it's too bad there are people in the world like that. So sad!

That is so horrible! No one should treat an animal like that!

I hope all is going well for you all. Your dinner reminds me a bit of a place I really enjoyed in Brussels. White Rose? I think that was the name. Great brussel sprouts and chocolate moose. No kidding. LOL!
