We have some explaining to do, I didn't say this before as I didn't think it was necessary...
I had a little argument yesterday at the clinic... actually on the phone... Neither the praxis in Bals nor the one in Craiova have anything to do with the pack... Yes, part of the pack is in the clinic in Craiova but the pages for the clinic and for the pack are separate... The pack is the pack and the clinic is the clinic... I don't have an NGO as I didn't find anyone trustworthy enough to create one... It's just volunteer work, one nuts human being with a pack (mostly) of dogs and cats.
I didn't plan all of them... W***y, Rossy, Chloe, Bója and Mira were somewhat planned... The rest came and couldn't find their homes or their health issues were too big for someone else to handle...
Yesterday I had an argument with a lady that is following us and she started yelling : I donated money to your clinic... What clinic? Well, there on the page...
She was upset because she had some dogs on a list for some free spaying/neutering surgeries...
She asked us to put 2 female dogs on the list, when I called she told me one was in heat. Yes, the surgery can be done but it more bloody, they tend to bleed more... so if we can avoid this we will... You will say they are on the streets... Yes, but the surgery can be done after this period... First of all it not ok for the animal, the risks are higher... Secondly, we receive some fonds for these surgeries, but don't you think someone gets rich from them. The funds cover the supplies we need, the meds and that's about it... The surgeries are "low cost" but with the same materials we use on a daily basis... So as ugly as it sounds, we don't want extra costs if we have to cover them... So she decided to bring the second one but surprise, she couldn't catch it. Yes, I can understand this but I cannot understand why you don't try harder... Not her, in general... You know you have a place on a free campaign, well catch the animal one day before, or a few days before if you know it may disappear...
The biggest problem was that she donated money on the page and I am not helping her and the streets are full and I am not doing anything...
Indeed, I am not doing anything...
I have the same problem with everyone making appointments and not respecting them... Because we have a certain number of surgeries a month I don't like loosing a spot that someone else needs... I always try to put the ones that have higher risk first... like the ones that are already pregnant but still some give birth till I get to call them and set the surgery date...
This is a lack of respect, not to us although we waste time as we cannot make other appointments... But it's a lack of respect towards the others that need those surgeries and to the ones funding the programme...
I always try to help, not with online treatments because they can do more harm than good, I cannot look at the animal through the phone, I cannot touch it... If someone just needed advice and I could give it I did...
You have to keep in mind you are more than me, that I have a pack home and that I work all day long so I might not be able to raise to your expectations ... If you think you sent money and it was in vane, please let me know so I can send them back... I don't think we stole that money or asked for them... she donated because she wanted to do so.... It's ok if she changed her mind afterwards.... I don't use that money for me, I don't drive a posh car, I don't have fancy jewellery.... More than half of my money goes to their needs.. There are a lot of furry ones here and it's not cheap taking care of them... So I am sorry if I cannot spend as much time as you wish with you... This probably upset this lady even more. I was working, I had a lot to solve and had to leave with W***y to Bucharest. She kept calling, 2-3 times, I told her I cannot spend more time on the phone so she started yelling...
Everyone is entitled to his/her opinion, we are ok with that...
We love you all and we are grateful for your help, I couldn't have done it without you. Yesterday, on our way back I was thinking that if shee needs something else I am willing to sell the car.
All the meds and investigations yesterday were very expensive... Yes, I knew where I was going... and yes we received help before, from colleagues but no one is obliged to do this. The amount of money we spent are less important, all that matters is that she recovers...
Today she refused to eat, probably from what they gave her as a analgesic... I will lower her dose and see how it goes... We will keep you posted...
Thank you very very much for everything! ❤️🙏
