Irresponsible owners....GO SUCK IT!!

Just a rant....I have several rescue groups on my Facebook page that ask for help in rescues that are literally a life and death situation. I just saw one this morning of the skinniest pitbull I have ever seen! Not much else wrong with her except that. ALL YOU HAD TO DO WAS FEED THE POOR GIRL!!!! AND they will pretty much eat whatever you give them. Especially when they are LITERALLY starving! I have a close friend who just lost her best friend of 8 years to cancer after spending thousands on chemotherapy.  I have another friend whose dog just finished recoveri g from TPLO knee surgery only to find cancer in her lymph nodes. Again spending thousands on chemotherapy!  These people wojld do anything to save them and you wont even feed them? WTF is wrong with you?! Then I get a message this morning from a family who wants to get rid of their dog because they leave it in the backyard 24/7 and the dog "barks." Of course the dog barks! Its got nothing else to do! How about take it for a walk, train it, love and care for it? Show some responsibility and compassion! Sorry, pretty pissed off at the whole situation.

Soooo sooo very much has happened

Wow. Dont know when I last wrote in here. So where are we now? In the past 2 years  I lost Jack to Cancer at 13 years old. I lost Bugs to kidney disease at almost 17 years old. Mom lost Napoleon to a rare illness (I will post the name when I remember it). Poor Teeny went through a horrific depression after Jack died. He wouldnt eat, or walk or anything. He has just turned the corner to good health in the last 6 months. I adopted Redley (red nosed pitbull mix) to help Teeny....which he did! He is a happy and funny boy! My heart aches every day though for the loss of Jack and Bugs. I was warned by a friend that it never goes away and so far thst is true. The piece of me that was soley for them cannot be fixed, repaired, or replaced. When it is Redley or Teenys time to go I will lose the piece of me that they each have. I wonder if we pass away when all of our pieces are gone. That we have loved all that we can. The heartache is just brutal.
Mom adopted Chloe (a french bulldog) after realizing that the sudden loss of Napoleon at 4 years old wasnt going away. Chloe was born the day after Napoleon died. We met her 4 weeks later and took her home 4 weeks after that. She is a happy and cuddly and energetic little girl! She loves her Redley and Redley loves her!
Our lives have been full of bumps and bruises and triumphs and challenges. I'll post more about all we have been through soon!
