It is half past midnight as I write this. Y'all know I have been on a high here lately with fundraisers and construction.
Today, well, I guess yesterday now, brought me to my knees. It just about did me in.
We had a very hard surgery. She is doing great and we are thankful for the staff at Clinton Animal Hospital. Rock stars. It was very stressful for us.
The hubs had to work late. We had a NASTY storm. The yard flooded. The day pens flooded.
Then the phone rang.
A friend called with questions about a pup she took in. Long story. The short version, you can't starve puppies!!
I believe they told me his name is Leo. They were upset. I saw the photos and immediately hit INFURIATED!!
This wasn't a pup who was lost. He was in a home. He has urine burn. He is suffering from malnutrition. Fleas. Ticks. I would bet a cupcake that he has internal parasites!
Oh, did I mention he is about 1/4 of what his body weight should be?
We did what we do. We called Jennifer Hill for help. She is our shepherd lady. She saved Hans Gruber for us.
I gathered the items she suggested and got on the road. It was about 8:30. I did bust all up in my neighbor's house to grab some of what I needed.
We have sent photos and information to the clinic. They will let us know what to do next.
He has a home, at least for now. We will do everything we can to help them get back to where he needs to be.
Tonight, he is safe. He is getting to eat on a newborn baby schedule, literally. Sweet Momma is getting up to feed both human and canine baby all night. Small meals.
I cannot express how angry I am about this. I know I need to focus on his care and not the rage.
This is senseless. No reason. I know people get overwhelmed. But, this is unexceptable. No charges. The people who saved him do not have the bandwidth to do that right now. They have chosen to focus on his care. We get that.
We will focus on getting him better.
Well, and not going to jail for letting the rage loose!! 😬😬
We will give them all the help we can. We have already taken food, nutritious treats, and dewormer. We have more to do tomorrow.
If you would like to help with his expenses,

There is a donate button at the top of our page as well.
We still have to get him vaccinated, neutered and microchipped. Hopefully, groceries and TLC will get him back to being a sweet young German Shepherd.
