First of all, don't feel guilty about the support your parents are giving you. Mine let me live at home during college at no cost so I could pay tuition and not worry about living expenses, which helped me get through school with no loans. And . . . I'm still living here. 😉 You're not the only 20-something living at home, and I bet it makes your parents feel relieved to know they can help in some way. Don't let that be a stress right now.
Me me meeee!!!
We should start a club. 😛
I’m down
For the apartment, it's usually cheaper for them to allow you to sublet than to take you to court over unpaid rent. I will warn you to be very careful about subletting, I've been burned once before. If at all possible, get the subletter to sign their own lease (my apartment wouldn't allow that and the predictable happened). You don't want to find out you own x months of rent, utilities, late fees, etc because your subletter bailed.
Did he have a rawhide bone yesterday? Any rawhide makes my dog turn into a fart monster. I hope that's not a nightly occurrence! 😛
A dog was found frozen solid on its owner's porch in Toledo, Ohio this week. I don't even have words.
Maybe he got away? There are signs up all over around me about a missing boxer. I can't help but wonder if the poor thing froze to death with how cold it's been here. I really hope someone found him, and just hasn't seen the signs yet.
Sorry I should've specified. It's pretty clear the dog didn't just get out. Greyhounds aren't a dime a dozen in this area and no one has claimed this dog for 4 days. Comments on the post from several people indicate the dog was dumped 🙁. Someone said they found the dog a month ago half an hour away and when she called the number on the tag, the owners had given the dog away several months prior. She also had no collar this time or chip and hasn't been spayed but is 6-7. She has some sort of skin mass and an infected toe or toenail. I would guess her owners couldn't take care of the medical issues
Poor baby, greyhounds are almost universally nice, mellow dogs.
Sorry Mixy, much love! Never apologize for ranting here, that's kinda the point 😉. I can't do anything but applaud your mature behavior and wish you and your SO well and a happy new year!
Thanks Coop! Hear you manators are arguing over who's nooblet I am 😉
You're mine and that's never changing! Other's may have claims but you will always be mine 😏. It was confirmed in blood when you lynched me 😉. I'm so proud to have you as my n00blet 🙂.
Spoke too soon, just read a new article about a dog that froze to death overnight after being dropped off outside a Detroit rescue. Rescue workers found the poor thing the next morning. You couldn't wait until morning?!
The nonprofit clinic I work for had a cat dumped overnight. Someone came in today and there was a box with frozen cat food but no cat. The cat had escaped. I can't imagine anything could last long in this weather. So sad.
We had the inverse happen where I work a while back, somebody tied a dog to a fence on the back of our property where no one could see. No food or water, in the middle of Texas summer. It had a heat stroke and died and I think we had to open a case looking for the person so we could pursue cruelty charges.
I hope it found someplace warm to crash. I feel sick when I hear of this stuff.
One of the towns next to my hometown had a dog dropped off to them (more like the person drove up, set the crate outside, and left) in a crate that was wrapped in a black garbage bag that was tied shut. In July. Like, why? You're already bringing it to a shelter, so what's the point of potentially killing it?
Yep we got a mom and young kittens that were dumped in a rubber made container with no way out in August. We were lucky someone found them before it was too late.
Reminds me of the time I was dropping off feral cats to a central Florida shelter. I was in the waiting room and someone walked in with a black trash bag (again tied shut). I assumed this person was dropping off a dead animal or something but instead I heard "I'd like to drop off this mom cat and her kittens." The person at the front desk snatched that bag out of that guy's hands and ripped an air hole for them with impressive speed. At least the guy didn't leave them outside the front door.
Yeah, happens all the time unfortunately. We get tons of people dumping animals and leaving them in direct sunlight in 90+ degree heat, taking newborn kittens and dumping them here in the middle of the night with no momma, so on and so forth. Some people really do treat animals like garbage and see getting rid of them as more of an inconvenience than anything else.
I wish there were sad reacts on here like on FB. Liking posts that make me sad doesn't feel adequate 🙁
I’m sorry finny<3 <3 <3
Ugh. I saw some of the earlier posts on FB. Heartbreaking 🙁
I’m so sorry!
Very sorry finn. Wish things had turned out differently. Sending kind thoughts your way. 🙁
W. T. F.
Is the animal ok?!
Just wow! Thats certainly a creative (by which I mean stupid) approach. Thanks for sharing the giggle.
