Trouble with Teri

January 28th, 2015

Why is Teri hurt?  Well the truth is I don’t know why.  I don’t know where she came from, who had her, why she was abandoned nor do I know the who, what or how of the condition of her hurt leg.  All I know is that I received a call from someone informing me that a new stray has shown up in her neighbourhoo; the stray is a female who is very thin and timid.  The person who called me said…” I didn’t want to feed her but I felt sorry for her because she was so thin.  I didn’t want her to hang around and cause trouble with the neighbours….but she was so thin so I gave her something to eat.  The next day she had a hurt leg.  I think it is broken so I thought of calling you for help.”   

Help Them Don't Hate Them

     There are some people who can’t stand the sight of stray animals.  These people will kick, shoo or scare a stray even if the stray animal itself has done nothing to provoke them.  I have witnessed people purposely wake up a stray dog curled up in a corner on the street just for the sake of disturbing him.  I have seen people start yelling, kick or throw things at a stray dog as he, minding his own business; unknowingly passes near. Of course, I have to mention the anonymous people responsible for countless stray dog poisonings. What is going on inside of them that they would make a deadly concoction and feed it to an unsuspecting dog?    

Rose Will Get Better!!

  Rose wandered alone, her appearance and the foul smell that came from her mange infected body offended many people.  She was shunned.  She ate from the garbage what ever scraps she could find.  I am not going to ask the questions regarding why or how she got to  this condition.  I will never find the answers.  This is a time to move forward.  Mange is curable. Unfortunately it doesn't stop there and the blood test at the vet found she also has Leishmania.  This, too, is curable .  There is no need for Rose to have suffered so much.
