At first I wanted him banned from football entirely but now I can see that if he's paid for his crime and is out, he does have to make a living doing what he does best, or else he might fall back into bad habits. But as for forgiving him...that's another issue. I try to believe him when he says he didn't know any better when he did what he did to those poor dogs. I try to believe him when he says he's sorry. But unless we can truly understand what is in his mind and heart, we can never be sure if he's sincere in these statements. But I guess that's what true forgiveness is. Forgiving someone even if you're not sure they're really sorry. One thing that makes me crazy though is to hear that now he wants to have another dog at some point. I can draw the line there. That should be his ultimate punishment - to want the companionship, loyalty and love of a dog and not be allowed to have one. Because forgiveness only goes so far.Mauigirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15529827915262851910noreply@blogger.com
