Just Pass Me By

Okay, I know this is bad but I would love to pluck the eye out of the people who dad’s dog stayed with before us. I know I have to forgive them and leave them in G-ds hands and honestly hope they repent before meeting him. G-d has a heart for animals and he shows us that in Jonah. Yesterday we had to take Shadow to the vet, I saw worms in her poop no wonder she wasn’t gaining weight and was lucking thin and sleeping a lot. We had the vet look at her eye, and found out shadow eye was causing her pain, and that she was blinded and the eye could cause her cancer. My husband and I don’t make a whole lot of money so a surgery is to expensive for us and dad doesn’t have a load of money laying around. While at the Vet they had told us about some pet insurance, and we where talking about getting the pet insurance. It is important for the dog to have the treatment she needs and the insurance would cover a healthy pet which shadow pretty much is.
I was a little worried about taking Shadow to the vet because of the eye, it’s a sign of serious abuse. I know this and was worried humane society would be called in and try to take dad’s dog form him. It didn’t happen. I told the vet tech that dad was in a abusive situation he moved out of and didn’t think the dog would come to harm. When we went to pick her up they where using eye drops which we assumed where prescribed to the dog. A couple days ago I found out those eye drops were actually human eye drops and we decided we’d get her in as soon as possible but when I saw the worms I said time to go now!
The vet tech shared about the insurance and Craig told dad to help dad out he would pay the beginning charges for the insurance. After our appointment with the vet and her checking the eye and what kind of worms we had she had a idea of what to do. Dad vet is Banfield, they are good, most of them are located in Petsmart stores.
We was waiting in there a long time, and I was starting to get worried things would not end well for dad. Shadow instead of biting she will lick if she don’t like something. This is a calming thing and shows
she is none aggressive. Okay so now this really pisses me off because Shadow is a gentle animal and has been harmed because someone felt the need to be cruel and the damage done can not be reverse it will always be, the dog is losing her eye because someone felt the need to kick her. She is defenseless, she can not protect herself she a 8 pound dog! 8 pounds that like 12 pounds smaller then Otis. The more I think about what they did to this dog the madder I become and the more disturbed I feel.
At the end of our appointment, our vet and vet tech came in, I found out why it took so long. It was a blessing, we found out they where going to provide free office visit they put us on the insurance for basic. Which is great it one less cost that I have to figure out how to handle it. They have a newer doctor who needs to learn how to do surgery, so when the dog eye comes out we only have to pay for Anastasia for her. They will have her do it as a learning experience. They told us because of Dad situation, they would help. I told my husband I would just save up for it again and have dad help save up for the surgery. My husband told me there goes your laptop again, my response was no, what’s has to be done has to be done. I know I need a new laptop but you know if push coming to shove you know I won’t get the laptop I am going to take care of the dog first. If that where to happen them maybe I would be more welling to allow dad to help with getting the laptop but I am not welling to let him help!
The vet and staff understood it was hard for us. They also so we where going to do the best thing for the dog, and the dog was treated well by us. I am glad they didn’t assume we were harming that little dog. I am relieved they are welling to help, and glad they have programs to help animals with good owners who can’t always afford to pay for them, even though they do their best.
Since walking the dog and starting a new job I have lost weight to so Shadow done me good, now I won’t need to get some Leptorexin to help me lose my weight.
