My daughter's dog, Leo, passed away-- and what can help heal a heart?
Helping another dog.
Bartley has been in a local shelter since his owners turned him in because he was so fat. (And he was older and how did he get so fat? The owners! A dog can't eat what you don't give him.)
Bartley has been at the shelter for months and no one has shown interest.
He's having a dental next week and he's staying with Molly for awhile to get him out of the shelter and in a home environment.
He had a bath, and his skin (which had been shaved) felt so much better. He also had a cream rinse and smells SO good.
He is a happy boy, and house trained! He is 13 years old, so his chances of adoption were slim.
But, he's doing well, and will continue to have care while he waits for a forever home. Fostering doesn't fall far from the tree! LOL
Bartley, don't worry. You have a friend in Callie (who will still come to my house on days when mom is at work), but your life is going to get better.
Bartley, who is a Doxie-Poodle mix, is still a bit round, but the weight will continue to come off. He's a sweet boy-- 💙❤️
Every time I hear the phrase "turned in" my blood pressure goes up. I understand a medical reason from someone who is no longer able to care for their Fur Kid but turning an animal in because they're too fat, no longer fits in for some stupid reason is just disgusting to me.
ReplyDeleteThank God I did not have them for parents .... off to the shelter with you as you got Too Fat!!! Unbelievable Linda.
ReplyDeleteI have to say ..... Bartley is so cute and sweet----- Fat or Thin !!! :)
