RIP Shaggy
Yesterday was a funny day…..I backed out of my gate to drive to the clinic to find a 4 week old puppy outside my gate. I only just saw it as it was the same colour as the road. It was filthy & in a write mess. I drove the car back in the house, grabbed the very smelly puppy, popped it in one of the rooms with some food, drink & a bed & left it whilst I went to work. When I came back at lunchtime it was sound asleep! So then I woke him up, bathed him in some warm water, dried him off, he ran around the garden a bit & then I packed him up in a box & took him to the USPCA to be checked over as he clearly had a skin infection & I was concerned about his distended tummy & some other bits.
In the garden!
With a full tummy, on his way to the USPCA!
He really is a cute little chap! So anyway I am on my way there thinking it will be lovely to see Shaggy again. I had bought him a harness, lead & name tag so that once he was well enough I could go there & take him for some walks. Only when I get there I am told he has died. Apparently 2 dogs died in his pen (including him) on the same day on Sunday, believed to be poisoning from people throwing food over the wall into the pens. To say I am gutted is an understatement. On rescuing him I thought we had taken him to a place of safety but unfortunately even bad people can get to the animals there too.
Shaggy…from this……………
To this………on the road to recovery
There are some cruel people in this world. RIP Shaggy, hope you’ve finally found some peace now xx
