One Hell Of A Day

Hey guys, what is up,

I have once again been hella busy with work and haven’t really had anything to talk about. The other day (10/22/16) was absolute hell. I have started working mornings on Saturdays because Tats left us L. So we are back to training again. I had train a new chick and it was a train wreck. She did absolutely nothing. So she got sent home so she won’t be coming back. 

The main reason it was hell was because we lost one of the dogs. **The following may have explicit language so be warned.** Her name was Lucy. When I came in that morning Boss Lady had left me a note saying she was very sick and to make sure she drank water. She would not drink any on her own so I got one of our syringes and squirted water down her throat. She was just pitiful. I did this multiple times every time I got a chance because she needed to drink. I texted Boss Lady and told her that Lucy didn’t want to eat so she told me to give her some chicken broth. I did the broth the same way and would squirt it down her throat. I continued to do this till about 11 when Boss Lady come in. I told her that she hadn’t seemed to have gotten any better. That I saw she hadn’t vomited anymore but she still had bloody diarrhea. Boss Lady was trying to get her to drink on her own when Lucy’s parents called and asked about her. Boss Lady told her mom that she was still very sick and wouldn’t drink on her own. After that I don’t know what was said because she had to walk outside because the dogs started barking. I went in there and gave her some more broth through the syringe and eventually Boss Lady came back in. She said that she was gonna take her to the vet. So I picked Lucy up, she was too weak to stand long, and carried her to Boss Lady’s car. Now I would be lying if I said I didn’t even think about Lucy and worried about her. I did; I had nursed this dog all morning and had held her and loved on her. So I tried my best to focus and get the last walk done. It was about 12:30 when Boss Lady text me and told me…. She had to put her to sleep. I was in shock. I knew she was sick but I didn’t think she was that bad. I was just speechless. I later found out that her owners had dropped her and her sister off and she was already like that. They left her there like that. We thought they were getting picked up that day but found out that they went getting picked up till Monday. That was the main reason Boss Lady took her to the vet. Even after they were told that Lucy would have to get put to sleep they stood by the fact that they were coming back Monday. WHAT THE FUCK?! I mean it’s bad enough that they left her like that but to still not come home after your fucking dog has to get out to sleep is just heartless. They were at a wedding. WHAT WEDDING IS THAT IMPORTANT! She had so much wrong with her that they couldn’t save her. Her owners didn’t even want Boss Lady to take her to the vet. I mean I get it you love this dog (or say you do) but there comes a point when you have to put your emotions aside and do what is best for the dog. I had to do that with one of my own dogs. We had had her for 8 of her 16 years of life. But eventually she just became too pitiful and her quality of life was so bad that we had to put her down. I just feel really bad for Lucy’s sister. She got so upset when we were taking Lucy to the car without her. I wasn’t there when Boss Lady got back so I don’t know how she reacted. She goes home tomorrow but hopefully it is before I get there because I am just so upset with them right now.

Well that’s about it for this post. Sorry this was so emotional. Hoep you all have a good day/week. As always if you have any questions/ comments or topics you would like me to talk about feel free to leave it in the comments. I will talk to you all later


Byyyyyeeeeeee

Lucy is the brown one.
RIP SWEET GIRL
