Had a VERY upsetting afternoon. :(

[KristieTX]

I go to work today and everything is normal. Worked till about 5 and my co-worker was brushing out the last dog so I could groom it and she gets a call on her phone. Her mother is crying hysterically and she kept asking her, "Mama, what's wrong?" "Why are you crying?" "Mama, just tell me why you're crying?" "What's wrong, WHAT'S WRONG?!" Her mother tells her that her dog has been torn up by her two American Bulldogs in the backyard. They broke through the fence and tore the poor baby to shreds. What's really sad is that he was tied up in the backyard as he will run away if not tied up. He was stuck there while they attacked him. He usually stays in the house, but they let him outside for a few hours everyday to run around.

She rushed home and brought him back up and was BAWLING, which of course, makes me bawl. She is going to try to save him, but she can only do so up to a certain amount of money. Thank God we work at a vet clinic cause when something happens to an employee dog such as this, the owner will cut you a break on the bill. She may still have to have him put to sleep, however. They were in the process of having exploratory surgery on him when I left.

Also, I forgot to mention, her uncle had just died a few days ago. She was supposed to go out of town for his funeral this weekend. And right before she got that call, she said to us, "You know, death always comes in threes."

Aww that is terrible!! Poor doggie. Those kind of dogs are not allowed where i live.

Oh man! I'm so sorry Kristie! That's so sad about the puppy! Poor thing! And I'm sorry for her loss. Tell her not look at it as "death comes in threes," but look at it as "with every death there's a birth." John's grandfather passed last week, and his cousin's wife is due this upcoming week. So, maybe someone's about to find out they're pregnant!

 

[StereoXGirl]

That's so sad! And the fact that the poor doggie couldn't get away...it's just awful!

Poor dog... what happened sounds awful.

 

[puncturedskirt]

Aww.

 

[pinksugar]

poor lil baby! I hope they can save him. That is an awful thing to happen to anyone. The dogs responsible should have been under much better supervision

 

[KellyB]

Oh that made me cry. I am super soft regarding animals and that was horrible. I hope the little guy makes it. I would die if that happened to my dog. I'm so sorry.

 

[KristieTX]

Thanks ladies, I feel so horrible for my co-worker. I think she is in shock. I'll keep you all updated. It is off to bed for me as I have a LONG day again tomorrow.

 

[adrianavanessa]

OMG, my mouth literally dropped. Oh man...

 

[Saje]

That is horrible! I am curious to what provoked the attack.

But I feel for your co-worker. That is so sad

 

[iamadreamer]

[CellyCell]

This is such a beautiful way of helping someone deal with the reality of death.. I love how you put a positive twist on something so depressing.. not that it makes someone passing ok, but its just comforting to think that they will come back into this world again.. in some other form.. but they wll be here. We might not see them or hear from them.. nothing.. but they will be in some part of the world..
