What a wonderful way to start the new year... watching one of the farm dogs slowly die because the owner doesn't think $250 is worth it.
Yesterday morning we removed a paralysis tick from her. If she had been taken to the vet it would have cost $250 to get the antivenom and would have been back to her usual self. She had partial paralysis in her hind legs at that stage.
Today she can only just lift her head. It would cost around $1200 to fix her now, but her chances are still slim.
When i got the tick off her yesterday the owners wife made jokes about getting a new job "haha well you will have to tell your brother you want him to save one of his pups for you!"
I think what disgusts me most about this is the total lack of resposibility here. The way i see it is if you want to have pets you need to be fully responsible for them, just like kids. If you can't handle looking after them, or don't WANT to look after them then DON"T FUCKING HAVE THEM.
So heres a little rememberance for "Katie"...
yeah i wish there was a dog face.

People don't realise that pet ownership is like having a child! When you take that animal home, you are agreeing to look after it. You wouldn't let your child die from a paralysis tick, don't let it happen to the dog!
That story makes me really sad.
