This post will not be near as interesting as the title suggests (you perv), but I have to get this off my chest...
My baby is injured. No, not a squalling mini-me who will need a million dollar education in 18 years...but my dog. The one who has never, nor will ever, ask me for anything but a bite of food or the opportunity to go take a dump in the old lady's yard next door. The one who will love me till her dying day; unlike Sweet Britches who I think is getting ready to leave me after 10 months - but that's another post. The one creature on the face of this earth, other than my parents, who will love me unconditionally... My BABY!!! (i'm 37 with no kids, don't judge)
Now, outside the fact that I am beside myself with worry because of her yelping pain, I'm in the hole with increasing debt on my credit card;NOW the vet is telling me that feeding my dog from the table is causing her pancreas to shut down?!? WTF?!
OK, I'm from Alabama. I don't know what the hell a pancreas is (if I'm spelling it right) or what it does. But your going to sit here and tell me that if I don't pay $40 a month for dog food instead of feeding my dog Alpo and left over pork chops and chicken that her shit is going to stop working??!!!
I'm calling bull shit on this. Dogs have lived CENTURIES on dead raw meat and grass, yet a cooked pork chop with sweet potato is going to cause her insides to stop? You think I'm an idiot? Not to mention that you're trying to tell me that my dog is LIMPING because her insides aren't working right?!?
This is what I get for trying to "improve" myself by moving to the "other side of the tracks". Rich fuckers. They're trying to put me on a guilt trip for not having my dog's teeth cleaned too!!!! WTF??!! Who in their right mind is going to pay $500 to have their dog PUT TO SLEEP to have their teeth cleaned?!? GIVE THEM A DAMN BONE!
And before all you uppity ups go and start telling me how to raise a dog - don't. My family doesn't do throw away pets. I've been around dogs all my life, when we get a dog, it's family. We don't get one then 5 years later decide to give it away or take it to the pound - They're around for a while. In my immediate family alone, I've seen5 live to be over 15 y/o - one lived to be 17 - and we're talking big dogs, not one of those poodles types that live to be 20, blind with no teeth. They all lived a great healthy life until one day, their face starts turning white and within a month, it's off to doggie heaven. Not a dammn one of them had ever been treated for heart worms, never had "annual vaccinations", and I GUARANDAMTEE you they never had their teeth cleaned. And they ALL ate table scraps YOU ASS HOLES!!! tell me my dog can't eat table scraps Fuck You.
WHEW - got that out of my system.
Anyway - the dog has been limping and yelping for a week now. they have told me every thing from failing pancreas to dead liver and UTI. I told them to begin with that it was a pulled muscle. I finally talk them into muscle relaxers and after 2 days on them she's getting back to herself. She's not completely well, but she's getting better. failing pancreas my ass.
Hope you all have a great day!!!!
Fo' real about the pancreas thing...my pomeranian spent a weekend at the Country Club (my parents) and came back sick, sick, sick - puking, poo'ing, laying in both, wouldn't get out the bed. Took him to the vet, vet said he had pancreatitis (sp) due to vast amounts of human food - spent 3 days at the vet on liquids and antibotics. Had to feed the little fella "special" food for a few days. Came back home good as new - no more human food.
