Just when I think things are good....

Looking back on my life the only thing that has been constant in my life has been my friends.  I have had a good friend that I have known for the last year and a half that used to work with me that has become part of my family.  Her son I have taken under my wing trying to teach him what is right and wrong in the animal world.  I thought I was doing the right thing.  I don't think she agrees.  She was upset with me tonight that her son was asking for a puppy.  He is 10 of course he is going to ask for a puppy then he will move onto a toy or a moto-cross item.  Yes he loves animals and this is something that he needs to understand that you can't have all of them.  I feel she blames me for all this and if that is the case I feel bad but I can't do anything about it.  It is not my son.  If it were I would sit him down and explain.  I hate to lose friendship over something I think is important for every child to learn but it seems like she doesn't understand that it is the younger generation that is going to grow up and needs to learn that abuse is wrong.  If I can start with one family and continue having them teach others I have succeded.  I am not using them since they are family but I hate to see that she was so upset with me because one dog she decided to foster and then told her son he could keep her, then went back on that ok.  I have dealt with that shit my entire life and I can assure you it isn't teaching her son anything but disappointment.  I am trying to stay out of it but needed to vent which is why I will not put names in here.
