Well, this is not quiet a rescue story, but goes to show some people just don't deserve the companionship or love of pets. I was at the vet's this week, waiting outside the Xray door (for Cody) which was located right outside the vet's offices.I couldn't help but overhear one of the vet's in a controlled (trying) heated discussion with someone about showing up for an appointnment the following day for her dog's ear surgery. Apparently, (and I moved closer and my ears got bigger..nosey) rather than have this much needed surgery, the client opted for MORE anti-biotics, which the vet said wouldn't work anymore. He even offered a payment plan for the surgery. His voice got a bit louder and more insistent and said "You would rather have your dog in constant agony rather than operate to relieve the problem"? After he hung up the phone (turned out the person was a nurse) his assistant told him to take a deep breath and count to 10. He was SO angry. He was muttering and slamming his fists saying that some people just shouldn't have pets!. He was sooo upset. He looked up and saw me and just shook his head. I swear he was going to cry. I happily paid my $200 bill after that!! I feel awful seeing Cody so upset and confused at the vet but would mortgage my house to save him. It was all I could do to keep my mouth shut and yell at the phone. I feel so sad for that poor, helpless, pained dog.
