moe went to olympia yesterday and came home with another temporary dog. she was given to SPDR by a couple of people who “couldn’t take care of her”, which is an understatement… the dog is mostly bald and hadn’t even been touched by a human in at least 8 months, she was limping on uncut, infected toenails and apparently had allergies that were “too expensive” for the owners to pay for. it’s just as well that they gave her up, but i wonder why they waited so long… and i hope they don’t go out and get another dog… 8P people suck!
we gave her a several baths, and cut her toenails, and gave her medications, and moe figured out that she had a yeast infection (we’re calling her “candy” which short for “candida”), so we got some hypoallergenic food for her. we’re probably going to hold on to her until we get her skin condition under control, and then we’re going to farm her out to another foster home… because we really don’t have room for five dogs
Yes. I am reminded of that often.
