"I imagine how id feel, in a world full of people walking, eating, going out with friends doing normal things, while i could just about wlk with sticks, or in a wheelchair. Its quality of life, many vets would put a animal down if it could not walk, eat properly, due to the animals quality of life etc etc"
'Scuse me whilst I find the smelling salts.
As people here may know, I have Asperger syndrome with dyspraxic elements, arthritis, and spinal scoliosis. There's tons of things I can't do, but there's tons of ways round nearly every problem - whether by people understanding and helping, or by adapting the environment, or by sheer determination and me learning patience and not expecting miracles from myself. And I'm married with a lovely ds and many equally lovely friends and a good job.
My life has in no way been defined by me grieving for what I can't do, though that's increasing with time. And I find what was said about the animals being put down if they were suffering like that to be absolutely in ths context. I really do.
I appreciate apologies have been made, and that's fine - I accept the apology - but goodness me I can understand why people were horrified.
