Dog rescue
Oct 21
One of my friends, Stephanie, works with Indigo rescue to save dogs from being taken to the dog heaven in the sky. She’s been doing it for over a year and I thought I’d try and do my part and help with it. I told her I was happy to have a foster dog ad I love dogs and thought of one being euthanized because there are too many in the shelter makes me very sad. SO Tuesday I got a call to have a dog, a husky mix dog, for a while. I went a picked her up at the shelter, She is so cute and he name is Mindy, as in Mork and Mindy. Well, I brought her home and she checked things out and was OK with things. Eric and I took her outside and gave her a bath after trying to give her one in the bathtub wasn’t going to work. She’s such a sweetie, however what happened the rest of the night was super disheartening. I thought Baylee would be OK with another dog for a while but she would just hide, pee and go upstairs like she was in trouble. Baylee would come down, Mindy would smell her and Baylee would freak out. I thought I’d give it a day or so and see how things went, unfortunately, it got worse, for me at least. The crate was too small for Mindy so while she was in the crate she cried. It wasn’t until I took her out of the crate and let her sleep on the floor in the guest bed, while slept in the bed that she became OK. Keep in mind that this is like 2 am in the morning. SO I didn’t get a lot of sleep.
I ended up calling Heather and Stephanie Wednesday morning and let them know that I couldn’t be a foster because my dog is a nut. I felt so bad about the whole thing. here I had offered to be a foster and wanted to help the dog out but my dog is a nut and I couldn’t keep Mindy. Stephanie was great and came and got her so now, as far as I know, Mindy is at Stephanie’s loving on her dogs.
SO I guess I can’t foster dogs but I’ll find another way to help contribute.
