...have a new home together with a new family in Massachusetts. Thank you to the people who have been e-mailing, but problem solved. Alexander cried when he had to say goodbye to his Pigs, but he understands that he has done wrong. It's a hard lesson. He's very solemn about it. I only blame him for half of what he put the Pigs through. I blame his *adults* for not responsibly monitoring a (barely) four year old's interaction with small animals that couldn't fight back. I think the adults got off awfully light by comparison. He is always lovely with Ping amd Puma, but I have never left him *alone* with them and just walked away.. Nor will I, until he is a good bit older. Alexandra in MA [Posted in FML 5635]
