It makes me sick to hear this as well. My pateranl grandmother, who I just heard stories about and rarely saw when I was younger, was the worst. She once took my father's beloved dog out into the woods, tied him to a tree and shot him in the head. Why did she do this you ask? Becasue he took down the clothes line that my grandmother had just hung clothes on. She also would tell my father to take any kittens his cat had just given birth to, put them in a sack with rocks and throw them in the lake. If he didn't do it, she'd take a whip to his behind. I am grateful I didn't get to know this women. I know she was my grandmother, but she was an awful, awful woman. I'm glad my father turned out to be better than her.
