I have pics but they won't upload for some reason.
About this time last year, I tried foster mommying. She ended up having to be euthanized because she had caught the deadly neurologically damaging disease while at that hell hole: MIAMI/DADE COUNTY ANIMAL SHELTER.
It breaks my heart. I am crying as I write this. She was so sweet. Only about 2 years old and found wandering the streets. She was my first and last foster care. I rescued her from Death Row. Literally, the foster lady told me to go to the back and pick some of the Pekes. I was so excited. I was going to be a foster care mom. Little did I know how scary and how emotionally overwhelming being a foster care mom can be. Why are people so cruel? Sometimes I hate humans. Like recently, my supervisor said animals like dogs are meant to be outside (at all times). They are animals she said. And the reason we have so many diseases is because we do not treat them as animals. We domesticate them.
This type of thinking is probably the reason Mei Ling was found wandering the streets severely underweight.
Mei Ling hated other dogs. ALL DOGS. She hated them. I had to be so careful. The vet said while on the streets she probably was picked on and had to scrap it out for her food.
I digress...
Mei Ling was the only one in relatively good condition. It was heart breaking. I took her home. She was so sweet. I made the horrible mistake of spaying her too soon I think (about three weeks after I brought her from the shelter). The vet told me it was o.k. but ... She came home from the spay, shaking and it got worse. It was horrible. I really hate MIAMI DADE COUNTY ANIMAL SHELTER and whoever let her roam the streets. MIAMI DADE COUNTY ANIMAL SHELTER will not give the animals bordatella vaccine or whatever the shot they need to stay healthy from the other sick dogs. If a dog isn't ill going into MIAMI SHYTHOLE DADE COUNTY ANIMAL SHELTER they will be IF they leave. (They put down a dog I think after a week of confinement).
Mei Ling from the DAY I brought her home went on newspaper and outside. She could eat. She loved to eat. She almost died on me. I rushed her to an 24 hour animal hospital and they wanted $1700 to diagnose her. The vet was very mean about how sick she was. I took her to another hospital and they said after $200 that she only had hook worms or something. I should have listened to the first vet and paid the money I didn't have. Mei Ling was very very sick. I cant even foster now because I just cant handle a animal dying on me. I simply cant handle it. I had to watch the vet put her down. I cried so bad. I called all my friends and the foster lady and just cried. It is really horrible. It was July of last year. A year ago, I paid them to cremate her.
I can't go on anymore but just know Mei Ling was sweet. I loved her for 7 weeks. I wish I could upload these damn pics of her. RIP Mei Ling. I am so sorry.
How sad. That is the main reason why I could never foster. I can get attached to a dog within minutes of seeing him/her. RIP Mei Ling. At least you know that she was with someone that cared in her last weeks.
its so hard to lose our beloved babies. i had two pekes. toy and radar. we had to have toy pts at 13 years old and we had her since she was six weeks.the cancer was causing her to start crying out in pain and i couldnt stand for her to suffer. we lost radar at 5 years old. we only let them out to potty and we think the neighbor poisened her.she was fine when we went to bed and gone when i got up. so fast. i felt like my heart was ripped from my chest .i still miss them both. here is a pic of radar.
