“I have up to now thoroughly enjoyed the Love Me podcasts; that is until I listened to the one entitled "Howl." I have always found these podcasts to be heartwarming or thought-provoking. This one just seemed cruel and selfish. For the author to abandon her aged companion, the Chihuahua named Midge, seems not only heartless to me, but also brought me down to a level of depression and sorrow I'm not expecting when I listen to this podcast. I would appreciate the producer attempting to be more sensitive and selective when it comes to stories of this ilk. I know the author of the story expressed her sorrow when she decided to give Midge away after years of companionship to her as a single woman because of the dog's behavioral issues after the author became a parent. But to abandon her dog once again after learning of the truly deplorable conditions she had unknowingly placed her once-precious Midge into is inexcusable. To walk away and reject Midge again after learning the truth is unfathomable to me. How could she just leave her there? Could there not have been an alternative? Fortunately for Midge, the dog escaped that misery of pain and rejection through death six months after her former owner's visit. Yes, the author felt pain--and well she should! I certainly did listening to her awful story.”Read full review »
