The hairs on my back are standing up...I'm so mad.
If you follow my stream, you will recall the cute pooch I had spayed last July....."Traci" belongs to a hispanic family that needed financial help to pay for her spay. I arranged the discount for them. Traci's story: www.flickr.com/photos/rainriver/4677033240/in/set-7215760...
I hadn't visited Traci for a month or more so decided to check on her after releasing my feral kitty this morning. Imagine my anger when I saw her tethered outside to a chain not more than two feet long. She had no room to move around. Water was out of reach.
After unhooking her, she ran and ran.....then immediately relieved herself in the corn field as she probably had been holding it for a long time. I gave her water and let her run around while I had a "friendly conversation" with her owner. I then went to the local hardware store and purchased her a ten foot long chain and one of those swivel posts to attach it to.
I also had a talk with my local no-kill pet shelter and put her on their waiting list. You see, her people don't interact with Traci at all. She is invisible to them. They find her to be a nuisance now because they never took the time to train her. She is starved for attention so will jump [ in a friendly way] on the children and grabs their fingers....so she really needs a new home. See below.
Oh....and this cat was at the same location. I went to the nearby house and asked if the cat was their's. It was. I asked the woman about the cat....she seemed to know very little as the cat "belonged to her husband". She didn't even know the gender. I asked if they were going to get him/her "fixed". She assured me they would. Somehow I'm doubtful.
