Canine Commandment #1

Thou Shalt Not Steal

 

Joan, do you remember back in 2005 when I told you that I wanted to mail Bob Weatherwax a copy of my book The Legacy of Lassie? You refused to give me his address and said that I could only get it to him through you.

 You failed to tell me that you and Bob no longer had a working relationship. He did not have anything to do with you at that point. You lied to hide the fact that you were history.

 I sent you Bob’s copy of my book in good faith, with the understanding that you would make sure that he got it. I asked you several weeks later if he received it. You stated that you had not heard anything from him about it.

 What you did not tell me then was that you had no intention of mailing it to him. It was all a sham on your part.

 Where is that book now, Joan? That was a $50 book that you willingly took, with no intention of getting to the intended recipient. Did you think that I would never find out? I’ve known about it since it happened. Now it’s time to make the fact known publicly.

 In my opinion, Joan, you are not only a liar, but you are also a thief.
