Stu's Blog - Ravings from a Right Wing Wacko

Hi guys! I know it has been a while, and I need to get a few things off my chest, so I am going to vent a little, and let you know what has been going on in my life.

As you may know, we got a dog, a beagle named Greta. A couple of days after we got her, she starting yelping in pain, and we know something was not right. We took her to the vet, did some testing and x-rays. She had something called Stump Pyrometra, a rare condition that happens after a dog has been spayed. We were told she needed an operation, and would cost $2,000. There is no way I had that kind of money lying around. We called the rescue, and told them that the dog had a pre-existing condition caused by the spay their vet did, and we would appreciate some help with the cost, seeing as how we only had Greta 1 week. They said the only way they would pay for any of the operation is if se signer her back over to them and terminated our rights to the dog. Sadly, with as much pain as she was in, we had to do it.

What started then was a lengthy email session, with me giving my points on why they should have been responsible for the dog, as according to the vet, she was deathly sick when she was given to us. The vet that did her spay did a hatchet job, on the poor girl.  I made my points, and some wonderful people in the organization are on our side. They had an anonymous donor give $ 700.00 to offset operation costs.

Well, we went through the mental suffering of losing her so soon, and have come to accept the fact that she is no longer ours, when I get an email yesterday that there is a chance that they will give her back to us. Im hopeful, but not getting my hopes up, if that makes any sense.

Added to all of this my Uncle passed away. So, I have kind of been alone with Terri and my thoughts, getting all of this straight.

I’ll keep you all informed, and look for more posts from me.
