I guess…also…why I am trying so hard to correct this mistake (not to make excuses but it was a truly honest mistake born out of carelessness) is because I guess I have been wronged several times (honest or not) and I guess some people did not own up to it or even tried to deflect the blame, and I just don’t want to be one of those people.

Also, I truly think this pet shop is one of the good ones, I could see the owner was a good person and I made it up in my mind that he was probably struggling to keep the dogs because he may never choose to put down unsold dogs (purely my assumption and you know what they say, when you assume…).

Like you mentioned, his is also probably a case of no good deed goes unpunished, which is why i’m kicking myself in the butt for failing to see how my action could come across and why I want to make this right for him.

When he confronted me about this via text, I called him right away to apologize, and I have done so again and again, and I am very accommodating in helping him contacting people to take down the adoption post because he is worried it will hurt him / his business – even though as I said, the post never mentioned or alluded to him or his shop.

I should’ve just explained that I am willing to pay for someone else and he could help me find the suitable home. I don’t know why I didn’t just do this, I guess I thought it was so unusual that he would just turn me down. It was so stupid of me.
