Stupid, stupid, stupid....

I feel like a total ass... Ron and I took Pumpkin to the vet today because we're worried that he's losing weight. While we waited for the doctor, we heard a dog whining continuously. We thought he just didn't want to be at the vet's... When we walked out, I saw it was a keeshond! Well, normally, I'm pretty shy and I don't just start talking to strangers... Well, I blurt out, "Is that a keeshond?" then I said to the dog, "What's the matter, baby?" Well, the wife of the couple that was waiting with the dog starts crying and leaves the room. Ron taps me on the shoulder and says, "I think they're putting it down." Stupid, stupid, stupid. I could have spent the next 10 minutes hiding under a rock. My emotions keep flashing from anger at the vet's office for not providing a private room to this poor family to sadness that such a beautiful dog has to be euthanized to disgust at myself for opening my fat mouth and making that poor woman suffer even more through my dumb ignorance...

I'm hoping that maybe I balanced out my karma by attending an eagle scout ceremony for a great boy in Hazlet this evening.... Or hopefully, it's good enough that I'm at least smart enough to feel badly about the situation...
