He was referred to me by another lawyer, 2 said he had an issue that fell squarely within my realm of expertise, and had $5,000.00 in-hand ready to pay me - until I started asking him questions, his responses threw up red flags, I asked more questions, and got more nonsense. That same afternoon I came back to the TGD Law headquarters to resume work, and met my first bona fide batsh*t crazy prospective client.In her case I was horrible as moral support because I’m pretty sure I cried more than she did (and it wasn’t even my dog). Over the past 33 years I’ve lost pets, I’ve lost friends, I’ve been to funerals the pain from those losses is real, but totally unrivaled compared to being inches away watching as a living thing takes its last breath. This particular pooch was in horrible shape - cataracts, tumors, seizures, unable to eat, tremendous weight loss - so euthanasia “made sense.” But it still ranks among the most heart-wrenching things I’ve ever experienced in my life. A couple weeks ago I agreed to join a classmate at the veterinarian for moral support as she had one of her dogs put to sleep.

So rather than an in-depth entry this go-round, I’m gonna go with one of those bullet-point updates I use in situations where I’ve been gone awhile: 1 To the extent not doing something can be considered habit-forming, I slipped back into my old habit of not updating law:/dev/null on a regular basis - I wrote a “stub” for a handful of entries, never actually finished them, and now they’re just not nearly as interesting as I thought they were at the time.
