Speaking of collecting money, a member of Buddy's family has asked us to purchase wrapping paper to support his school. I find it very difficult that the dog I adopted to these people had to be killed and am torn between feeling so guilty that I want to buy one of everything or at least 100 things so he can get a big cool prize, and so ashamed of what happened with Buddy that I can't buy anything at all.

I'd better sit on this one for a while.
