Update from hell.

Figured I would do a little update since I am my moms place and have internet.

My bad luck still continues. I had my Nikon D40 stolen a week ago right out of our driveway. My fiance and I were fighting, so he loaded up all his belongings in the trunk of his car... including our camera. And thats the last time it was seen. My memory card was in there with all of my pictures... Madisons 1st b-day, holidays, my dogs, summer trips, etc.... all gone. That camera was going to be used to capture the birth of my baby in 2 months. Devastated wouldn't even be the right word to describe how I feel.

Our car was stolen last week. It is now impounded. If we have to pay a penny to get it out, then we just lost our car. Yay.

Dont have much of a relationship with my fiance anymore... we just live together. If I had a place to go, I would be moved out already. Not going into detail, but we have gotten into some nasty fights and most of the stuff in our house has been completely destroyed.

Last month we sold both TVs and DVD player for 50 bucks so we could buy some groceries. Our water is getting shut off on the 21st for who knows how long. Thankfully we were approved for assistance and got $600 in foodstamps this month. We also had our electricity bill paid after it was shut off the other week, which we owed over $400 on. My fiances work still insists that he will be back to work next month, so we will see.

Come tomorrow we will no longer have Reggin. The landlords showed up on our front door without calling us first to let us know. Said they lost our number, but that was a lie because the very next day they left a message on my fiances phone. Anyways.... we had reggin in the house which was a HUGE no no. He was behind the baby gate in the kitchen when I opened the door. Of course, Reggin began flipping out... sounding like he wanted to eat someone alive. So now we either lose Reggin or lose a place to live. I am now keeping him in the back porch which is no bigger than a jail cell until we drop him off at the shelter ASAP.

I'd love to know how someone could have such bad luck in such a short amount of time. Oh and I got a major sinus infection the other week. That was pure HELL, especially when you have no pain meds.

Maybe my next update will be positive for a change...

Apart from get to social services or the CAB (citizens advice) - at least your US equivalents - and get some HELP.

Good luck.

Let's see if you can't get hooked up with a rescue or foster situation for Reggin. He doesn't deserve to be stuck at a shelter where he'll likely be killed :(

Is there ANY way you can keep him at your mom's for at least awhile? He's too good and faithful a friend to end up like that. I can't imagine what being separated from Madison is going to do to him.

I am so sorry all of this is going wrong for you all at once. ((((((((((((((((HUGS))))))))))))))))

Is there no one who can help with your dog?

Where did he come from, what about his breeder?

I know some rescues in Washington, though they're usually full, they may be able to give you some ideas of something to do other than drop him off at a shelter.

PM me.

I pretty much feel like my life has been completely destroyed. Everything that I have had and cared about has been stolen, broken, or sold.

My mom lives in an apartment. No way he would be allowed there. There is a place we are taking him too that does adoptions. I guess they are really good about adopting dogs out. And its in walking distance which is good because we have no vehicle.

I forgot to mention... my moms pug who has attacked madison on several occasions died 2 days ago. My mom couldn't afford to get her seen by the vet, so she ended up dying of worms. Roundworms. She quit eating a week before she keeled over... one day before my mom was able to take her in to the vet.

Your situation sounds horrible! So sorry to hear that!

There has to be people here who can help with Reggin! Nobody wants to see him end up at a shelter!

What about Pebbles and Truffles?

Oh no :(


Do you think maybe holding Reggin for a little bit longer until a chazzer can go and pick him up and foster him until things get better?

What about SmexyPibble? Doesn't she live in Wash State and isn't her family involved in rescue?

I am sorry Reggin... you need to see if you can contact a legal aid office in your area and have them send you brochures about subsided housing ASAP! Also, there is a ton of help for single mom's out there in form of rental and also utility assistance! What county are you living in? Did you think about going to a pregnant women's shelter?

Reggin came from an accidental litter. There is no breeder to take him back too. And if there was, it would be 2,000 miles away in AZ.

OMG! You have way too much happening all at once. I am so sorry. How much time is there to do some digging for someone to foster him? I was thinking my sister, but I don't think she can handle another dog. BUT...she goes to a very good trainer and she may have some ideas or be able to foster him. The trainer also runs a boarding situation on her property. So....is he okay with other dogs? I'll shoot an email right now to my sister and let you know when she gets back to me and if she can find out anything. She's on Bainbridge Is. which is a 30 minute ferry ride from Seattle.

Also, my daugher knows someone from work...(I think that gal works somewhere else now) that does rescue pitbulls. She has had several at one time. I met some of these dogs and she is very sweet to them. So, I'll also email my daughter and keep thinking if there's someone else. I'll spread the word.

This is just awful. I hope there's enough time at least to try to arrange something for reggin.

PM Sis . . . We've got to at least try for Reggin :(

Your mom's dog DIED of ROUNDWORMS??? Gods. He must have had them forever!
Yeah, she did. She was seen by the vet a month ago because she was drinking water obsessively, so they thought it was a broken tooth and gave her antibiotics for that. I guess it was worms and they didnt know it.

Can you describe Reggin in some detail....how he is with other dogs. Does he need to be crated and rotated...with kids of various ages, adults, any resource guarding issues or other behavior things people would want to know about? I remember that he is a nice dog but just want to get it straight from the horses mouth.
