5/28/14: Because of the pain I would have to endure getting in the van the mobile vet came out today to examine me. I have so many problems with the tick diseases, upper respiratory infection, severe hip pain and I am just miserable. I ate a pound of ham, a pound of chicken and my favorite, a can of spam. Then the vet gave me a shot that made me very sleepy. After about fifteen minutes of being loved and petted I feel asleep under this tree which is my favorite place to lay. Then she helped me to cross over to the rainbow bridge where I am now free of pain and healthy again. Do not cry for me and thank you for giving me the gift of being free from the pain I was in. Thank you for letting me feel your love and know there are people who care before I crossed.
5/25/14: The mats have been shaved out and it sure is good to be getting air to my skin. The ticks were pulled off and I had pretty much every species of them. They did however cause me to end of with two different tick diseases and no one knows how long I have been sick. I also have an upper respiratory infection and on antibiotics. Now if all that isn’t bad enough my hips are so painful that I cannot bare for anyone to touch my rear area. I don’t want to bite anyone but I will because it hurts so bad. The vet is coming out this week to access my condition because it is to painful for me to get in the van. This senior fellow is very tired of the misery I have endured over the years from owner neglect.
5/16/14: I’m the new boy at ten years old coming into rescue today. My people are moving and guess they aren’t planning to take me since I was left at the animal shelter. They didn’t spend any time with me or take care of me very well and I understand I am on my way to a better life. I can’t wait to get a much needed brushing and a bath. Please check back to see my pictures after the beauty treatment and updates as the rescue folks get to know me.
These wonderful folks already care about me and helping me get ready for my new home: Jim Sain, Karen Creager, Susan Huneycutt, Ann Bishop, Sheila Nelson, Kimberlee Rettberg, Audrey Sumner, Danita Morgan, Mary Witul, Eric Oaks, Rebecca Fox, Ann Moyle and David Taylor
