So many abandoned animals! I think there are varying degrees of animal loving... My animals are not my casual pets. I LOVEEEEEE them. They are MINE. They are a part of me. I'm moving to Salt Lake soon. My SHEEP are coming with me. They're my pets! They are not going to become gyros because they're inconvenient in the city. They're rescues! And they're my buddies... Even if some of them are a bit psycho. I would live in my car before I ever sold my dogs. If it was the worst situation imaginable, I'd find a rescue to take my sheep... But my dogs? They can live in the car with me. I wouldn't take a billion dollars for one of my dogs. People who give up their dogs are like... another species to me. I *understand* that not everyone is as crazy as me about their animals... I don't think that makes them bad people. I could just never imagine it. I found a small lump on my girl recently. Our vet appointment is on Wednesday to analyze. I'm trying to stay positive and calm about it. I've researched canine cancer online until I can't keep my eyes open. I'm prepared to get new credit cards if it's determined that she has cancer, and if that's what it takes to pay her medical bills. She's my life. I just can't see getting rid of a dog because I'm moving into a new place with a no-pet policy or something small like dog food prices. I actually got rescued chickens once for the same reason... Because chickens cost SO much... They're HUGE, you know, I'm sure it cost at least a grand a month to feed them. *rolls my eyes* People are just... foreign to me, I swear!

She looks like such a beautiful dog. She looks so soft! I hope you can figure out what her problems are and get them taken care of. Poor girl! She is in good hands now.

I'm so sorry about Sophie.. it's so so hard to loose them. You are amazing to adopt older dogs. It's so hard to find them homes! I can't imagine, either, dumping off an older dog of mine. Lucy is almost 10 and she has megaesophagus but there is No Way in a zillion years or for a zillion dollars we would let her go. We love her and will always have her and keep her as healthy and happy as we can. I agree the people who had Sasha probably just didn't want to take care of her. Grrr. Well, we will make sure she is happy and well taken care of now. Those people should get cancer then be dumped off by their families and see how they like it! Hi Maureen thanks for your comment!

They don't deserve them- if you can't commit to caring for your animal and feeding them properly and providing a loving home then these people should not get an animal. Sasha seems so incredibly sweet!! She probably has some medical condition that the people who dumped her didn't want to pay for and just left her to suffer for a year. If I didn't volunteer at a shelter and foster many dogs I wouldn't have that opinion! I love fostering and adopting wonderful dogs and cats but it burns me that people just dump their pets when they feel like it. 2 of mine were adopted when they were 10- how could someone give up a 10 year old pet?? One of them is my dog in my thumbnail-Sophie. She had to be euthanized earlier this month when she was 17. She had a great 7.5 years in a loving home she deserved. <abbr><em>Maureens last blog post..<a href="http://www.mytangiblewealthblog.com/2008/12/recession-proof-industries-what-is-the-best/" rel="nofollow">Recession Proof Industries- What is the best?</a></abbr></em> I don’t get why or how people give up their animals- it drives me crazy.

She just settled right in our house like she'd been there for years. Didn't even upset our pack, which is rare! She does have kennel cough, and that's the first thing we are treating. Poor girl.

I cant imagine what she could have done. Could the cough be cardiac?

I posted about the other things too... to complicated to write about! Thanks for your visit! Hi Amy.. actually, Lupus was one of the options the vet said that she could have!

From what I've read, the things I just posted about (new post) could coexist with Demodex. I sure hope it's not that... but maybe that would be better than any alternatives. Hi Colby.
