God I hate life sometimes...

My poor sister and brother in law are in just in utter shock and sadness today and I feel sick to my stomache. They picked up a stray kitten abpit two months ago that was thrown in a local dumpster to die when my sisters friend heard a meowing and found the 2 week old kitten and brought it to the vet where my sister works. She fell in love with it and brought it home with two large retriever dogs who instantly bonded and loved the kitten they named Marty. They even sent friends and family a Christmas card photo with Marty in the picture along with the dogs, the perfect happy family for the holidays.

Today the unthinkable happened, Marty the kitten got bitten in half by their retriever when he came too close to the food bowl and killed him instantly. The retriever was a stray and had been abused when she was a puppy so she instinctevly guarded her food bowl at all times and didn't even realize what she did until it was to late. Needless to say, my brother in law came home to a very grim scene indeed, the whole family is just devestated and my sister is an absolute wreck.....
