Everyone - I want to apologize for having posted this  message.  My friend 
thought that this was real because it came from a  teacher he knows.  I believed 
my friend and thought that I was doing  something good by sending out the 
message.

However, I want to say that I have been getting some very  nasty messages 
from some readers. One lady - a teacher at that - told one of  her students who 
recently lost a puppy then found out it was a scam.  She  emailed me a nasty 
message implying that I did this on purpose and accused me  of hurting the 
child's feelings.  She called me thoughtless for having  done this.

I sent this message out of love for animals and because I  believed my 
friend.  I thought I was helping someone out.  I would  hardly call that thoughtless.

I am publicly apologizing for this mess.  I do not want  to receive any more 
nasty emails from readers.  Ok, I got scammed and I  sent it on.  Keep your 
nasty comments to yourself.  I hope it  happens to you sometime and you get all 
the nasty comments.  See how you  feel after doing something you thought was 
for a good cause.  We've all  sent spam on believing it was real at one time or 
another, so just think about  how stupid you felt.  Remember - I will have 
your email addresses if I  get anymore of these nastygrams, and you won't like 
the response you will  get.
