Before I jump into the post - If you are ever looking at getting a furbaby please for the love of all things beautiful and innocent - PLEASE - ADAOPT DON'T SHOP! There are so many helpless little angels who die needlessly every year because shelters cant manage the sheer numbers that they are flooded with. It's fucking tragic.
Time passes too quickly
Please just smash the clock
The last year has been nothing but changes. Some big. Others I've never given a second thought. One of the biggest changes was that after 11 years of being together my wife and I got a dog. It was anything but a simple process. After years of back-and forth I found my self working from home and figured there was no better time to do it - We called multiple breeders - No luck - we would have had to wait months. So we went looking online.
Brief run Down Of what happened
- We did the stupidest thing possible
- We called a stranger who posted an add on kijiji.
- $900 later we found out......
- He was sick
- like BAD
- Nearly dead
- Parvo
- Parasites
- Worms
- less than 6 hours after purchasing him he was rushed to the animal hospital
- $3000 in medical bills over 3 days
- We soon had to choose between surrendering him to the humane society or putting him down
- We chose to surrender
It was the worst day of my life. I said a prayer and left him at the vets. For over a month I was a mess. I've never cried so much. I put everything into tracking the seller down. I found them. I've sat on the information. They lied about how old he was. They lied about his health. They lied about what kind of dog he was. The person was even spoofing their phone number so calling back proved useless very quickly.
I was lost. My wife was lost. Most of our sadness came from seeing him in pain. About a month later we attended the wedding of a family member. When we got home that night we talked about missing the dog and how nice it would have been to have him greet us when we walked in the door. Tail wagging. We didn't talk about it but there was a very real possibility he wouldn't have made it.
We fell asleep in each-others arms. I said another prayer - Asking my higher power for a miracle - Wanted him back. I needed him. We Needed him. I begged. Silently screaming at the ceiling.
The next day My wife and I were given the greatest gift in the world...... We found out he lived- And that he had been adopted by some one we know. Long story short - They've asked us to.... Um.... "Dog-sit..... indefinitely. "
I would go through hell for this little fucker. I cant even quantify how I feel about him. It's unexplainable. Anyway like the title suggests - His 1st birthday is approaching and I'm just so thankful he's back in our lives. Just wanted to share a Bit about his journey so far.
Don't worry I've kept tabs on the seller - Cooler heads have prevailed - They have since moved on to selling used cars. I know we will cross paths again some day.
Like I said up top - If you're going to get a furbaby -ADOPT DON'T SHOP - IF you really want to shop - do it the right way - form reputable breeders - Avoid things like Kijiji and Craigslist.
