Worried, hoping for the best for my pooch...

[natedawg120]

Hey all,

Well during my dinner break my phone informed me I had a new voicemail.  When I checked it, it was the animal shelter that took in my dog saying they had an urgent problem with Otis, my dog.  They called at 11:00 shortly after they opened but i didn't get it till 6:30, half hour after they closed (I hate my phone).  Now I am worried thinking what happened or what has he done but they didn't say a thing besides that it is urgent that I call them.  I am just really worried and wanted to post somthing to get me through the night till I can call them as soon as they open tomorrow.  I am just scared that what i want for him isn't going to happen...

Little background: I had to give him up because the divorce I am going through and with my lack of money iI couldn't provide him the home or care he deserved.  As in a place with a yard or if he were to become ill a big vet bill.  I miss him A LOT and only want the best for him

Sorry to hear it man.  I hope he'll be okay.  Is he, by chance, a pug?

[natedawg120]

nah, he is a german shepard red heeler mix.  I have a few pics but have to resize them but i will post some.  I am just afraid he has done something and they are going to tell me they are going to put him down.  Untill i find out i am going to be stressing.....not fun.

edit: Pics aren't on my server anymore i will have to load them back on later to post them ... No internet at home = pain in my butt

Awww...I'm so sorry...I hope everything's ok. I swear, I worry as much about my furry children as I do about my human children.

[natedawg120]

yeah tell me about it.

[Roadstergal]

Aw, man.    Best wishes.

[juno]

Man, I feel for you......I hope everything works out okay.

Hang in there.

[pandy]

So any word yet?

[natedawg120]

Well I heard what happened and talked to the people.  A person, not working with the shelter, was bitten by Otis.  It was a kid that stuck his hand in the kennel and got bit.  Never acted that way with me but i dunno.  I talked them into holding him 10days and trying again and every hour they are open and I am not at work i am going to go there and help then with Otis as much as I can.  Cause i don't want him to be put down, i just want him to have a good future, if not with me in a good home.

to the kid who probably provoked him in the kennel :guns:  :guns:

We have a youngster in our family that our 70-lb Pitbull is terrified of. Now, granted, our Pit is a big weenie, but we KNOW that child has done something to him. Needless to say, we watch our animals carefully when the little ones visit.

I hope you're able to work through this with your baby.

yeah Otis is the same way... Big wuzz, even loves cats.  I am going to do my best and hope it doesn't happen again (Make big signs that say no petting, Otis likes to be introduced first.)

Our Pit's best friend is our 2-month-old kitten. They're big dorks together!

The sign is an excellent idea. Or something like, "Please, before you pet me, let the staff introduce us."

I hope Otis is ok.  But little brats who stick their arms in cages either are probably to small to read, will do it anyway, or their parents don't have control of them!!!!!!!!

[natedawg120]

well it was a 10 yr old that got bit.  But your point is valid, i don't know many 10 yr olds who care what a sign says they are going to do it when the parents aren't looking.

still gonna try though

My solution cattle prods and an electric fence
