First, I hope the fair went really well - I looked at it on the internet and it looks like a blast! Was the weather good?

Also - I think Reggie has been to the vet by now? Just wondering how the puppy made out there. :)

Well, the bad thing is that We made NOTHING! So reggie cant go to the vet. But she is very well and in no need to go to the vet.

Me neither.

Just had the most 'enlightening' conversation with this young man on a gabbly chat, you wouldn't believe some of the excuses he came up with.

Alright, from what has happened in the Gabbly and what i know is about to happen here i am starting to consider leaving Pet Talk for good. I no longer feel really welcome here. Everyone is mad at me and critisizes me everywhere i go on here.

I know that. But reggie is fine. The part about reggie peeing blood was 2 months ago. LET IT GO PEOPLE! my friends mom who used to be an vet checked her out. She brought her into the vet she used to work at and examined here and she was fine, she said it was just probably somthing she drank

I don't think anyone is. They probly had something "better" to spend the money on like some new electric thing.

What about the fleas and all the other stuff.
I though YOU were getting $500?
Poor Reggie.

I was hoping you would post an update, Collin. I'm sorry I even had to ask.

But if your mom's friend took her to her vet - and she used to be a vet - I guess that's the best you can do.

I have been informed extensively of Collin's 'situation', and have heard the most extraordinary reasons behind not being able to do this/that/the other, and it just seems that his savings of 1 penny (yes, you read that right) and his home being completely isolated for miles and miles, yet still contained within a small town, he just cannot get that doggie to a vet.

But it's OK, because daddy's getting him a shiny new dell computer for Christmas!

So, we can all relax now.

Why does that just sound like a bunch of crap? I mean, I feel for the family situation, but I also feel for the dog.

I thought the dog didn't go to the vet. Now you're say she did, in a round about way. Not sure what vet would think she was peeing blood just because she drank something (unless it was drain cleaner or detergent....). I know my vet would never say "oh, your pet was peeing blood, it probably drank something bad, but, she's fine now." I'd be going to another vet, that much would be sure.

Not trying to bash you Collin, but I just feel badly for Reggie. If you really wanted to save up money, you and your parents would find a way to do it, somehow. I mean, it's a lot less than buying a computer, so if you're saving up for that, then just tack on another $60 bucks and go to the vet on the way to pick up the PC.

That's right, you do that. It's not like you listen to any advice from any of us anyway!

jenn_librarian, I agree entirely. It wasn't until he was challenged yesterday that this story suddenly appeared. Surely, if it was true he would have mentioned it at the time, to quash the non-believers?

Also, this mother of a friend of yours, she USED to be a vet? That's odd, it would seem unlikely that someone who has studied for many years to become one would suddenly drop out of such a career. And I doubt she's of retiring age if your friend is the same age as you. Plus, if she is no longer a vet, then she cannot give an official diagnosis in a surgery personally.

None of this adds up. I've heard too much piffle from this young man to believe anything now. I think my opinion on the matter is final and everything I wished to say was said on the gabbly chat.

So, good day to all.

I'm really sorry I defended you in the other thread. I really thought you were smart enough to take Reggie to the vet. Guess not...

Can't you find a Vet that takes a payment plan?
Maybe you could work at the vet to help pay off Reggie's bill?
Do you know anyone that knows a vet and could call in a favor?

What happened to your $500 that you had. Already spent it on your computer, huh? Can't you see Reggie is sick. Just because she stopped peeing blood doesn't mean she is better! :mad:

Let me ask you a question: what is more important? Money or Reggie?

Right now, most of us believe money is more important to you than Reggie. Your poor dog...I feel so bad for her.

sandragonfly
10-28-2007, 12:03 PM
so she drank some kool aid I presume?

:( I sure hope she's internally okay.

I saw the other threads just now, in fact if you can't tell already you're spoiling your reputation here more than not having the right computer for school.. (which you're only gonna be there for next one or two years in your entire life) that makes me guess you're more into things than precious living things - that's ok - not everyone loves animals as much as we do but I certianly do hope she'd be rehomed to a better home soon somehow. as soon as possible, wouldn't that be a lot less stress for all of you?

and only with that, we can help - can you too?

None of the vets in the area - extremely rural area, BTW - have payment plans.

I did have an offer from the Lumpkin Shelter - I spoke to a lady there, and she said to make sure the family talks to HER - they could TEMPORARILY surrender Reggie, Reggie would get a complete check with their vet and shots, and then they could adopt Reggie back for $85.

I think that was a really good offer, as she was making exceptions to their policy. But Collin's parents did not find out, as he did not tell them. (and that meant he might have to tell them someone else called the shelter...from Canada, yet. Could be nasty.)

And ONE NOTE, if I remember right...Collin said he was getting $500 after the fair at the end of the month, and that his parents were taking Reggie to the vet.

I hope he's able to cancel the computer order, as he indicated it was non-refundable.

Also, his parents had booths at the fair. Rental for these can be very expensive...and you have to hope you make enough to pay the rent and power(if you are cooking hot dogs, you gotta hook up gas or electricity).

I do think Collin should have waited til the fair was over before he ordered...but that's hindsight now.

At this point, Reggie is not having problems. I suggest - JMO - that we drop this whole thing.

If you think everything Collin posts is BS, then stop posting on his thread and replies.

Neither my post - nor any others - are going to change the facts of the matter.

Eesh, guess I'm not too good at staying away from threads that get my goat. http://petoftheday.com/i/our_smilies/tongue.gif

Candace, I know you are a very caring person and I respect everything you did for Briana and can see you're trying to do the same here. You have a good heart.

But, I have to say what I think, and if I think his posts and actions are BS, then yes, I will say so, to inform others of information I have gained, and, as we all live in hope, to shock Collin to the reality of the situation. Don't know if the latter will happen, though, sad to say.

Another thing I don't understand is they evidently had money enough to rent a booth, and if that's as expensive as you imply it is, surely that would have covered at least a check-up?

Plus, Collin said his family was expected to make about $1500 at this fair, $500 of which would be his; I just don't see how one can get absolute zilch when the expectations were so high.

The shelter idea is a good one though, and it's great that the shelter are prepared to bend the rules. I hope Collin realises how fortunate he is to have a) a 'stranger' from another country prepared to sort his business out for him and b) such a good opportunity to treat Reggie. I think if he takes it, it'll prove whether he actually cares for the dog, or not.

You didnt make ANYTHING? :confused:

I would of thought a hot dog stand would of taken off especially at an event like that. As for the art and crafts, people take money to spend on things like that.

You really dont have any luck do you.... :rolleyes:

Ive read through quite a few of your thread today and you need to lose the attitude. People on pet talk are animal lovers and I know you are playing on that.

Either get the poor dog to the vet or rehome her. Dont make the poor animal suffer because of your childish needs, Yes shes stopped peeing blood but SHE STILL NEEDS TO SEE A VET! you want to be viewed as an adult then act like one! If you do indeed build computers how about making a job of it? Yes your at school but you've build 11 already a few more wouldn't hurt.. :rolleyes: You really do need to come clean because you are playing with alot of peoples emotions on here and there is no excuse for that no matter what your age is.

No matter who tries to help you, I think Catty is such a fantastic member of PT and you can tell what a devoted lady she is to animals and people like you really wind me up when you cant be bothered to accept any help. If its needed at all.

My little brother is 10 and even he would know that an animals life is more important than any toy or computer.

No excuse whatsoever.

I know I will get flamed for writing my mind but Im so sick of seeing him exploit peoples emotions for fun, Hes sat in a chatroom before watching his pug "die" before and she suddenly made a miracle recovery within a few minutes of a vet being mentioned.

Holly, I couldn't agree more. I wouldn't worry about getting flamed, everyone has a right to say their piece.

Unfortunately, I also put forward this idea to Collin, who rejected it with a string of excuses. :( He can't do anything to raise a bit of pocket money, apparently.

And yes, I remember the 'blue gums' incident...

It's a very sad situation.

How old are you Collin? Just curious.

Collin claims to be a 13 yr old who apparently has the following attributes or characteristics:

1. Can kludge together computers from parts.

2. Not hesitant to buy off of Ebay.

3. Confident enough of his computer knowledge to be willing to trouble shoot an adult's computer problems. Hint to Collin: You're not there yet. ;)

4. Can post on the Internet from 4PM past midnight, and be fresh and ready for the next day. I needed 10 hrs of sleep when I was that age.

5. Able to keep chilled, while causing the adults he is conversing with to bounce off the walls. Not bad technique for a supposive 13 yr old(?).

Typical Reggie post one every other month or so in frequency:

1. Symptoms are usually serious (latest episode suggests a kidney stone or the like). The dog's symptoms usually indicate the dog is suffering more than just a little.

2. There is always the theme of asking what can be done, with the caveat the family is broke, and can not afford a Vet.

3. Almost an anticipation of the possible responses with most well thought out, but a few responses with well designed holes in the logic so as to provoke more discussion down a blind alley.

Over all the monthly or bi-monthly Reggie is sick again post does offer the forum a chance to discuss the health issue brought up, or learn about a topic that might affect one's own dog(s) in the future. From that perspective the Reggie is sick again post can be self-educational once you get past the emotional set up of the post. ;) IMO I find the Reggie is sick again posts less annoying than posts of people wanting to know how to breed dogs for the fun of it after the fact. Thank goodness Reggie is a male! :D

Ok you got all of that right except that i have fixed my teachers computers once and I have only posted 2 Reggie is Sick threads. Here are an few things everyone should know about me:

I get mad when everyone else gets mad
We live in an very rual area with poor people
I try to keep cool when everyone else around me gets mad, have heard that getting mad is not good for your heart
Our car is only available after 6:30 PM because my dad drives it to work and back
My dad only gets paid $10 an hour. He has to pay all of our bills and rent with that
I love reggie to death and i always want the best for her

My mom would be lost if she had an siezure and couldnt rememeber where she is without reggie. She comes to my moms side and starts whining when she is about to have an siezure.

In that case contact your vet and SARA ................have him certified and the vet work is free.

Other than that knock it off, I don't care if you are 13 my son is 11 and earns his money for his birds vetting twice a year, he also pays for ALL of its' food and toys so don't whine to me that you CAN'T figure it out.

Use common since on that. I would have gotten $500 IF we made money.

How coud you NOT have made money selling hotdogs at a fair stand?! Unless you were at a vegetarian fair, almost everyone I know buys hot dogs (even me, who never buys them to cook, will buy them from 7-11 with a bag of chips and a slurpee). Between funnel cakes, waffles and ice cream, cotton candy, or french fries and hotdogs, what else do people buy at fairs?? :rolleyes:

BTW... I'll use common "since" if you start using it too.

Wait... so your family didn't have the money to buy the items you were selling?? You didn't have hot dogs to sell? Is this actually what you are saying? I mean, I can understand if you didn't have hot dogs to sell that you didn't make money...that's kinda how it works.

So what are you guys doing with the hot dogs that you couldn't afford to buy and didn't sell? :rolleyes:

Apparently you didn't understand what I was saying. What I meant was: who doesn't buy these things at a fair(not were you selling all of these). It's not like people go to fairs and to buy gourmet food. Unless deep fried oreos and twinkies are considered gourmet these days. :eek:

Reggie, look, no one likes being mean. We are not being mean to you for our own enjoyment. Most of us have busy lives and don't have time to deal with being mean on purpose. That is just a complete waste of time. You have to understand were we are coming from, as pet lovers. AFTER ALL this IS PETTALK. We care about the welfare and care of Reggie, is all. We want to get it through to you that although she isn't peeing blood anymore, SHE STILL might have something wrong with her and although you may not think so you will never know unless the proper tests are done. The excuses are getting rather old. There is always something to do, no matter where you live. There has to be a job somewhere near you that you could do. Walk dogs for neighbors, do a paper route, clean windows, clean houses, wash cars, anything. Save up some money. DO something and don't sit around saying you will consider it. You are still getting a computer? I think you can afford one check-up. I agree with Holly 150% and I am tired of seeing these threads.

jennielynn1970

Is there something that you could do after school somewhere that you wouldn't have to wait for dad to come home and pick you up and drive you to? This way he could pick you up on his way home?

I grew up on a 100 acre farm. I did find places to work when I was a teen. I walked to a restaurant I waitressed at. It's good exercise and made me appreciate driving when I had that opportunity when I was older.

What do other kids do that live in your area and are in your situation? I'm sure you're not the only one in this situation where you live (or close to where you live).

Also, if mom doesn't work, does she get disability? She should get disability benefits or be on medicaid if she's can't work at all because of health issues. There should be some other income coming in besides dad's paycheck. If she doesn't get any benefits yet, she should apply to see what your family would be able to collect. I know some families don't like to get federal funds because of pride or whatever, but if dad only earns $10.00/hr, and he's working 40hrs a week, he's making under $19,200.00 a year before taxes. Federal poverty line is about the same, and normally they allow adults to earn a certain percentage above the poverty line and can still qualify for assistance.

Oh Buggered Waffles. I haven't posted in a while, but after reading this I just had to respond.

Collin, you make it seem like you live in the 30's or something. Nobody is rich enough to give you money to mow a lawn, or wash their care or walk their dogs. I mean...they have to have 3 dollars lying around, at least. That's all you could charge. "The town is 3 miles away" Hello, WALK THERE. 3 miles isn't that much. If I had to walk 3 miles to get some sort of money, to take my possibly deteriorating dog to the vet, well I would do it in a heartbeat.

As mentioned before, if your mom has seizures like that, she should be getting some sort of welfare. Take her to the doctor (after 6:30 of course, since your dad has the car) and tell them your situation, and the problems your mom has. I don't know much about the medical aid business, but I'm sure they'll send you a bit of money each month to take care of your mom.

Here's another thought. You posted pictures of YOUR desk before, which had like 3 computers on it. Why not sell one of those? Ebay..hellooo? You were going to buy one off of ebay, so don't say you don't have an account.

I'm just so tired of these excuses. And no, I'm not bashing you or flaming or any thing else. This is the truth, well what I've gathered actually, but I believe most other PTers think the same.

Another thing before I start getting ready for school, if you dad only makes 10 dollars an hour (which here is only about 4 dollars above minimum wage) How in the world does he support a family along with internet? I would think internet and video games would be a God-send luxury with him making that little. He could also save a little bit of money each month. My brother, for example, works at Jack in the Box and pays for his own college, but he has saved enough and has over $1,000 in the bank. Maybe your dad could set aside two or three dollars per paycheck and you could save some money over time. Just a thought.

That was a lot longer that I hoped...and no doubt I'll reply again. This is just so frustrating to me >_<

Yes, I hear you on that. It would explain the lack of action to do anything, and the many tall tales to cover up previous ones. Any pet-loving kid I know would probably be willing to do more, perhaps, than an adult for their dog (I say that meaning as an adult has a more experienced view on how the world works, and wouldn't take as many chances as a kid would). As I said before, I don't get it.

I seriously doubt anything's ever going to be done about it if the situation is real. I can't trust his judgement, as he's already proved; he's quitting PT forever and then is back within the hour. As others have not seen, he is prepared to call people including myself a loser and threaten to set his wrestler friends our way, then have a change of heart and apologise, asking for his actions to be excused because he's suffering with a cold.

I hold out hope for this kid, but I know I won't be impressed.

Oh, and I agree with Monica 100%.

10-30-2007, 12:47 PM
Ok you got all of that right except that i have fixed my teachers computers once and I have only posted 2 Reggie is Sick threads. Here are an few things everyone should know about me:

I get mad when everyone else gets mad
We live in an very rual area with poor people
I try to keep cool when everyone else around me gets mad, have heard that getting mad is not good for your heart
Our car is only available after 6:30 PM because my dad drives it to work and back
My dad only gets paid $10 an hour. He has to pay all of our bills and rent with that
I love reggie to death and i always want the best for her
Now i know that everyone here on Pet Talk are the nicest people i have ever met but please try to keep those above listed things in mind when coming to your conclusions.:)

Let's add just a few other things to keep in mind when coming to conclusions...

A 13 yr old who understands the concept of device drivers on a computer- very few adults do. At least he knows how to fix computers better than his teachers.

A 13 yr old who has run Linux as the OS prior to getting XP. For those who have never installed Linux from scratch it's not as simple as sticking a CD into a drive. Neither is maintaining Linux a joy. Quite a feat for a 13 yr old. Or was it a dual boot system? Figuring out where to put the boot block for each OS can be a lot of fun.

A 13 yr old living in a rural area in an apartment. I have visions of a multi-family farm house which seems strange. None the less said 13 yr old posts at all hours day and night, but still has time to worry about what is going on in Myanmar. Did I really worry or have political concerns about the build up in Vietnam when I was 13? Ok raise your paws - did anyone when they were 13 care about social/political events in a foreign country?

A 13 yr old whose father makes $400+ per week, at a rate of $10/hr. Assuming a 40 hr work week: $10/hr * 40 = $400. Now what ever happened to the 15% Fed tax? Guess the poor guy could be working 50 hrs a week.

The net result is a 13 yr old that claims to come from a very poor family. That family includes a mother with epilepsy. This implies Medicare, drug company programs for the poor to provide the required medication. All based on financial need. Yet the same family can toss a 13 yr old $400 (a week's pay) for a computer, and other trinkets to attach. :confused:

Computers as a hobby is an expensive one, even for a middle class family. Let's not forget the slow dial up ISP charges per month- probably $10. Must be a bear to upload and download all of the images mentioned in various postings! Ok that time again: For those of us who came from a low middle income or low income background - can you remember a time when you were in your early teens and received an item for your hobby that constituted 1 week's of family income? Yeah I know, remembering back that far might be a test for one's memory, as it is for me. But I do not recall such an occurance.

While trying to spark long dead memory cells: Can you remember the first time you encountered a computer? How many years did it take for you to feel confident that one could add or replace memory modules, or replace an old phone modem (dial up) - drivers again. How many years did it take until you felt confident enough to trouble shoot or give advise to others on computer hardware issues? Now subtract that number of years from the number "13". Plug in being a teen confident enough to advise adults.

The conclusion I come to Collins is that you are either a precoious 13 yr old, or a precoious troll. :D If the former then congradulations you will not be poor all your life. If the later- you need to make sure all posts are more consistent with each other.

Wrestler friends??? LOL!! I'm sorry, but I about peed my pants there. Because they're probably WWE or other Pro Wrestler types, right?! Cause we all know that they're real and everything that happens on those shows is real too, right?! :rolleyes:

Next we'll get the excuses about how he can't exert himself because of his asthma and whatever else is wrong. Heaven forbid he walk his butt somewhere to do something. If he's so good with computers, maybe he can invent some robotic device to carry him from place to place! Surely that program would be simple for him to do!

Ok... gonna stop laughing now and get back to work. That was a good break for today!

Now i only have my laptop. Yes i had my desktop set up for dual boot for Windows 98 and Linux (i didnt really care for the desktop in the first place, thats where the linux part came from. Linux was no joy to install or run). Yes i have helped fix my teachers computers in class. Now me and Catty1 are trying to fix this situation via pm's.

Port 80 is a virtual port (as opposed to a physical port, like a port on a switch) used in networking for HTML. It better be open, otherwise web surfing would be rough.

Yes i pay reggie attention. And take her for an walk at 8:09PM in pitch black darkness?

Darkness? Yeah, usually this time of year it gets dark sooner. But that's no excuse. Your dog still needs exercise, CLEARLY. What's wrong with going for a walk when it's dark? I just got back from one. It's pitch black AND raining. The dogs don't care. I brought an umbrella, so I don't either.

Listen, it's okay, Collin! Admitting fears is good. If you're afraid of the dark, buy a flashlight! ;)

In another thread, Karen posted about Collin's area. By no means the richest spot, nor the most populous. OK - HICK TOWN mean anything to anyone???

This is not about walking a dog after dark, sorry...this is not suburbia with lots of neighbours close by who might help.

Now, can anyone shed any light on how to see if Reggie can get certified as a Service Dog? In case someone missed it, Reggie warns Collin's mom when a seizure is coming on. Collin posted a few posts ago that that is why Reggie can't be rehomed.

This reminds me of another former PT member...and even a present one...it's like few will be satisfied until every bit of private and personal information is disclosed, in order to "prove" something.

Too right! I think I'm exhausted from trying to decipher his 'explaining'.

His true personality is reflected on gabbly, I don't believe the image he puts on for PT.

I don't blame you. I am terrified to take Buddy out when it gets dark. There was 6 people murdered just blocks from my apartment. Buddy has to wait until my husband get's home. I have plenty of neighbors, but that doesn't mean it's safe for me to go out. He get's walked in the morning, and at night, but not by me. I live in a terrible city, lot's of gangs and violence - and I am not about to threaten my life, or the life of my daughters, just so the dog can get some exercise. I might seem a little over dramatic, but I am dead serious. You never know what could happen, especially if you're 13 years old walking a small dog in the middle of nowhere.

Why can't a dog get exercise indoors? Buddy sure does. He has lost a lot of weight (he was really overweight), and not because of outdoor exercise. He usually just goes out to go to the bathroom.


If you don't feel safe to go out in the dark, don't.

Well first of al i cant drive and IDK where work is in the first place. Most people around here have at least 1 shotgun in their house so they dont take well to strangers pulling up in their driveway asking for work.

So you get home from school at 4pm whats stopping you then? :rolleyes: I worked 7 days a week 9 - 7 and still managed to take my dogs out for a walk.

Oh by the way how did your heartattack go last night? Must of been very serious because you couldn't breathe.. :rolleyes:

Im pretty sure alot of people wouldn't take a shotgun to a 13 year old approching a door.

Wow, haven't you all gone far enough? Threatening a 13 year old that you're going to call the authorities?

Not saying I disagree with anything that's been said, but haven't you all learned from the previous threads? We're wasting our time here. The kid isn't going to take our advice or listen.

We've come up with numerous resourceful ideas that he is capable of (unless he really lives in Iraq or something!) In return, we get numerous bogus excuses. Ain't nothin' gonna change.

Oops, you made another mistake. So there is a bus? Or isn't there? I'm confused. I thought you said your town was too small for that.

I'm with Holly, how did that heart-attack go last night? It sounded nasty, from your vivid commentation.

All in all, whatever happens in between, as long as Reggie finds fulfilment and peace that'll do me.

No, Catty1 is the only one who has came up with suggestions that actually seem logical considering the situation, like getting reggie registered as an Service dog for free vet care.

No, you are incorrect. Between both threads you've been given some pretty well off advice. Do not say otherwise because that is just downright rude.

Instead of fueling the fire, why don't you get off the computer and think about it? Play with Reggie, teach her some new tricks, read a book...
