And isn't it a little odd to be desperately trying to get medical help for a beloved pet like Natalie, no matter what, and then do such a 180 and state that you are just going to rehome her (and her sister). 
I hope Natalie gets taken care of , whatever her needs are... I'm just saying...  |
You're so right. I've been procrastinating on this too, and it really makes you think with all the weird stuff that is going on out there (air-borne stuff, I mean).
For the record, it wasn't MY pet that the ER wanted to put to sleep, I just happened to be there with Max and overheard it and was absolutely dumbfounded that they'd take such a cavalier attitude...not "let's see how we can work with you"; it just struck me as so mercenary and heartless. Which is NOT the feeling I want when I'm dealing with a sick helpless pet! (This is really a whole other issue).
I don't understand the rehoming either...maybe she's just feeling overwhelmed right now with everything and all the negativity that's been associated with it. I would imagine that when it all first started and a lot of people jumped on the bandwagon to help her, then it kind of grew and grew, then some people started questioning everything, which took on a life of IT'S own; it probably really brought her down and made her question whether she was a good mama or not. At least, I think that's how I'D feel if it were me. You know, how everything is so stressful and you're so worried, but it seems like you've got all this support to help you thru,and everyone's being so nice and on your side; so you think you can handle it and then all of a sudden, your worthiness is brought into question and you're being vilified by some people. When you're under a lot of stress and haven't had much sleep, things get blown out of proportion and seem much more sinister than they really are.
Txgrl~ I know, nobody was denying her help, and just wanted a little bit of reassurance, but you're right; things just got so chaotic that it went very sour. Such a shame. I know there's a lot of very nice, caring and trusting souls here who are willing to help anyone in need.
And Kyle~ Yes, there was a little more drama than normal, but you know how momentum and no sleep go together? NOT. Making light of someone's pain is NOT cool either. I know that's not the kind of person you are.
