This is in response to the person who is looking after the poor little abused/neglected fuzzbutt - who's owner is requesting him back. Your in a tough spot here - here is what I would do: First and foremost - be 100% honest with this gal - don't sugar coat anything with her. Tell her how sick her fuzzle is - and why it looks like it is HER fault he is that bad. If she can't take honesty - well, too bad. She needs a good dose of "reality" to put her into "check". Personally -I don't think you should give him back. That little fuzzy is way too sick for her to have given a half a care about him and I believe if you were to give him back, he would die soon. You have a chance to help this one (as you have so many others) - and I would take it. If it were me, not only would she NOT get her fuzzy back - she would get a swift kick in the fanny to let her know how serious this is. God Bless you for what your doin for this little one.
