I just came back from seeing Sassy..
She is such a good girl.. a brave little soldier..
The vet said that she could most likely come home on Saturday.. she's being pumped full of antibiotics, and she's still eating and pooping fine...
So it looks like I'll at least still have my honeygirl.. :)
Makes the day just a wee bit brighter.. :)
Oh, I know I am better off....
She was getting her hydro cut off for non-payment, so I offered to foster her hamsters and mouse for her...
As soon as she handed me Tiny's (hamster) cage, I could tell right away she had wet-tail... She died 3 days later.. I told her it's caused by stress and filthy cages/surroundings, she didn't believe me (what-effing-ever.. I bred guinea pigs and rabbits for 13 years, I think I know..) She handed me Lucifer who I knew you could not touch, and you can't because he's so nasty, and Cookie the mouse, who she didn't even want.. so I said I'd take her..
Lucifer was the only one with a WATER BOTTLE, Tiny & Cookie had a bowl each that was covered in shavings in no time... Lucifer was in a mouse cage, and Cookie was in a plastic critter that had no air vent... so when Tiny died, I moved Luc into the hamster cage and Cookie in to the mouse cage.. I bought all new water bottles.. She had these shavings that were... let's just say 'Splinter City..'
I fed them, and you would swear they had never eat so well in their life... They wouldn't stop eating... She'd feed them cheerios ((rolls eyes))
So now Cookie is in the hamster cage (she came and got Luc, I told her to come get her rodent, she took offence to that stating that only rats are rodents.. ((rolls eyes)) ), which I am sending back to her once I get a NICE PROPER cage for her... one with lots of stuff to do.. :)
So we know that a) Her litter box is overflowing and she rarely changes it, b) Baby (the 13-year old cat) goes to the bathroom whereever she wants to, c) Her rodent cages are not clean, d) She admits to me her house is a pigsty, and e) She has an infected dog who eats solid for an hour then starves himself for 4 days...
... and she's in a dinky little 2 bedroom house that is smaller than my apartment... maybe I should call the Hamilton-Wentworth Humane Society...
