Ada! :) 1: https://platinumcpd.com/euthanasia-when-it-all-goes-wrong/ His owners were distraught by the thought of losing him, and their grief was making his anxiety worse. 2: https://we-happy-few.fandom.com/wiki/The_Boyle_Residence Mrs. Boyle was so distraught by the thought of having her children sent away to an unknown location where she couldn't protect them... |
