Another Day in the Life

          So far two puppies have been sold; they just turned six weeks so they are now old enough to be without their mom. I’m happy and surprised that I can let them go without crying or missing them terribly. They were awfully cute and all, but they were a TON of work. Waking up every four hours to six hungry babies is something I will not miss. The worst part is when you clean up all their pee and poop; they just do it all over again. I swear they are pooping machines! I am going to miss them though.

            One thing I wish people knew about Rottweiler is that they are good dogs. I hate how people stereotype animals. Bulldogs are good dogs too, but they have a bad reputation. People influence their animals; if they teach them to behave they most likely will, and if you neglect them and treat them badly they get mean. It isn’t the breed that makes them a bad dog, it’s the owners. I know I mentioned this before, but our dogs got out a few times before we got the fence fixed completely. People called the sheriff because of it, which is understandable I guess, but I feel like if they were a golden retriever or something that they would have just called the number on the collar…. When the sheriff came to warn us about the issue he told us to keep them penned up because this breed scares people. What is that supposed to mean? I just don’t think it is fair.

            One of the worst things ever is animal abuse. I don’t understand how anyone could hurt an innocent animal. Those dang commercials to end animal cruelty get me every time. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9gspElv1yvc There is nothing in this world that would ever make me even think about abusing an animal.

            On another subject, I had to take Oreo to the vet on Friday. Every time I go there it is so expensive. I had to take her there because she had scabs and almost like bite marks all over her skin under her fur. I was really concerned so my dad made an appointment at the vet. When I took her there it turns out it was like a staph-infection or she was allergic to something. I wasn’t really sure because the Dr. used a lot of terms that I didn’t understand, I tried to keep up but it was difficult. They just gave her two shots and said she should be fine in a few days. My dad always gives me money, and almost every single time I have to go back to the car and get more money. This time it was $87.00, and my dad only gave me $80.00, I wish it wasn’t so expensive because then maybe more sick animals would be able to get help. Most people don’t take their animals to the vet unless it is an emergency; Just a thought.
