I'm so upset. Need to talk about this. So this Sunday I was at my parents house, and my boyfriend went outside to get something from the car, but shortly came back in and yelled for me to come out. When I got outside, I saw a tiny puff ball of white fur in the distance so I ran down the driveway toward it. It was a teeny tiny s**tzu female laying all curled up in a pile of leaves. She was in very rough shape. It looked like someone had taken a pair of clippers and tried to shave her, but only got certain parts so she looked patchy all over. She had an obvious skin condition and her tongue was white as a cotton ball. I started bawling my eyes out as soon as I saw her. I'm pretty sure someone dropped her off. She couldn't have weighed more than 2lbs and might have been pregnant. My dad came out after me and yelled at me for getting so close to her, because there was something obviously wrong with her. But I couldn't help it. So I sat on the ground like 2 feet away and talked to her for like a half hour. She was so scared it broke my heart. My boyfriend got her some food and water and we got her to eat. We called the humane society and they said they couldn't come to get her until this morning. So I went to go get my parents big dog cage to try to coax her in but when I came outside she was gone. I looked all over for her with no luck. I'm so upset, I cannot stop thinking about her, and I'm literally heart broken because she was SOOOO helpless. I feel like I shouldn't have left her for a second, and I can't stop wondering where she is!! I just wanted to get her some help and even take care of her myself if I could, since whoever owned her before obviously didn't. Everyone in my family thinks I'm crazy for being so upset but I can't help it. It's like she looked at me with these eyes and now I'm all tore up. I really just needed to tell this story, hopefully because I think most of you know what I'm talking about because you love dogs as much as me. How could someone do this to her!?! |
