Mary Ellen took Bella and Bosley (Bailey) to the City Shelter mostly to be neutered or at least a pre-op evaluation. Bella has a big case of hives which we have been treating for 36 hours since we noticed them. We put her on children's Benedril and expect she needs an allergy shot. We can't imagine what she is allergic too since there have been no changes in her diet, shampoo, laundry supplies or cleaning supplies. We did add an all natural nutrition supplement but isn't that the point? All natural!
The visit was very stressful for Mary Ellen for many reasons. The dogs are not leash trained and she had them alone. The staff was not expecting them for surgery and gave her little information and no encouragement. Many things were said and many more things not said, but that is Mary Ellen's story, I was not there.
We did both go through great emotions and apprehension for what the shelter will do. Bottom line, the dogs belong to them. In the end, Mary Ellen left them both for probable surgery today. It will probably be another emotional roller coaster day for all of us including Ron and Barbara.
I do want to take this opportunity to tell how supportive both Ron and Barbara have been in this process. Maybe they aren't mentioned as much as they deserve. They both have posting privilege here but have yet to "learn" blog-speak! But make no mistake, they are both vital to this process and tremendous emotional support for both Mary Ellen and myself.
Thank you loved humans.
I'd foster either of you anyday!
You are both in
MY FOREVER FAMILY!
