Well - the foster mom just picked him (Toby) up today and sent this. You know - this is when rescue is nearly unbearable!! Ugh!! While there are some people (TC readers excluded) that think rescues seem to always have their hand out and asking a lot for their dogs ... this is why. And then to note what a volunteer may go through just to get a dog vetted properly. We won't know until Wednesday if this little guy has hope... but until then - he certainly has love and affection from Susan and Dennis. Of course, it will be her heart that will break and her tears that will fall as she holds him should the dogtor find that those tumors are what we are fearing... :( People never cease to amaze me... in both the good and the bad sense of it all. Bless Susan and Dennis for what lies before them..... and little Toby... at least he'll know someone cares. ++++++++++++++++++++++++++ OMG....This is really bad. This dog seems older than 12. He has very little hair, arthritis in the back legs....can't hear and has cataracs. He is so sweet and very good house manners. He scratches all the time and is wet on his underside with no hair. He has some tumors and is a sleepy boy. He stinks like yucky yeast. I can get a vet appt wednesday, and Dennis said he can drive him to Bowling Green....which is about 120 miles round trip. He is friendly and good with other dogs and cats. Good appetitie and drinks LOTS of water. No potty in the house. He could use a good vet!!!! Susan Diana Sep 17, 2006 at 04:17 Re: Owner Surrender Dumps His Westie on Rescue What a terrbile shame, I wonder how long the little guy has been like that. Heartbreaking! Lynda and the Minkies Sep 17, 2006 at 12:26 Re: Owner Surrender Dumps His Westie on Rescue That's so unbearably sad....what a heartless prick of an owner he had. I hope he can be saved. XXX. Mary, Kelsey and Furby Sep 17, 2006 at 17:24 Re: Owner Surrender Dumps His Westie on Rescue we should kick his owner you know where and then some, This poor little guy at least someone is showing him love. Angie if there is anything we can do let me know. I would love to help in some way.. Kip Sep 20, 2006 at 20:53 Re: Owner Surrender Dumps His Westie on Rescue We think he should be hung by the ba..s. Lynda and the Minkies Sep 18, 2006 at 14:08 Re: Owner Surrender Dumps His Westie on Rescue That's good of you, Mary. XXX. Mary, Kelsey and Furby Sep 18, 2006 at 19:56 Re: Owner Surrender Dumps His Westie on Rescue I think Lynda it makes me feel better to try to help in some way. I just can't understand the heartless way some of these animals are treated... In my way I guess it is how I can help as with working I can't foster being away most of the day. Brenda Kelley Sep 18, 2006 at 22:21 Re: Owner Surrender Dumps His Westie on Rescue Bless his heart. I'm so glad he's with you all now. Drive carefully.. bj Petey and the Wigglebutts Sep 20, 2006 at 19:02 Pics of Toby (disturbing) Here is a couple of pics of Toby. Waiting to hear about his vet visit today. Diana Sep 21, 2006 at 06:15 Re: Pics of Toby (disturbing) OMG! I've not seen this photo before. What a mess! Petey and the Wigglebutts Sep 20, 2006 at 19:03 Re: Owner Surrender Dumps His Westie on Rescue one more Angie Sep 20, 2006 at 21:56 UPDATE It appears the man who had him took him from his ex mother in law who was abusive... he then found that he couldn't take care of him as needed and called rescue - so it appears that "he" didn't do it - the MIL did... some of the worst millers are women, so this doesn't surprise us. Angie Lynda and the Minkies Sep 21, 2006 at 15:12 Re: UPDATE We apologise to him.....thank goodness he had the sense to get him some help. XXX. Angel Kisses and Jeanne Sep 21, 2006 at 02:18 Re: Owner Surrender Dumps His Westie on Rescue Angie, Is there anything I can do to help? Buy some meds (kick in for some meds), buy him Walkabout Helping Hand Harnesses, diaper garments, toys, whatever? Go to the sponsors board and I will give you my numbers again. Of course he is always in our prayers! Luv Jeanne and Angel Lynda and the Minkies Sep 21, 2006 at 15:13 Re: Owner Surrender Dumps His Westie on Rescue That's very good of you too, Jeanne. XXX. Casey Sep 21, 2006 at 03:19 Re: Owner Surrender Dumps His Westie on Rescue This poor wee soul... how he must have suffered for so long. The way he is holding his ears looks like there is trouble there too. How very very sad. How I wish we could do something to make cruelty penalties match the crimes. Angie, did Luann get any info on the m.i.l.?? Any chance charges could be laid???
