"Pet Angel Fund for Spaying Gizzy et al"

[Vela]

Robinson's Animal Hospital Dr. Robinson offer a low cost program for surgery. The application can be picked up at the animal shelter. Appointments must be made in advance through the clinic.


Good point Husky Mom! Briana, you or your mom go to the shelter and get the application. Then perhaps Gizzy can get everything she needs with the funds already in place. Please don't say you can't or won't go get it. Talk to your mom nicely and ask her to please take you there to get that so you can get the cat taken care of. The money is there, people have helped, now you need to go get it and get this thing really done. Promise your mom to clean the house or do something nice for her if she'll please just take you. This is more important and somehting you really need to do! Those funds will be dispersed to someone else if you don't use it. if you qualify it might also be cheaper for everything else she needs as well. Please don't put it off and just act like it doesn't matter, it does.

Can you call a taxi? I found two on Yahoo: Mom's Taxi - 423-975-0698; and Johnson City Cab - 423-433-3398. You might have to ask the driver to collect the payment from the Pet Angel fund when you reach the office. Have you a neighbor or another friend who could help you with this?

On the whole me going to see Pirates 3 twice, do you really think my mother would have put that money towards the pets anyways? No..

Unless my mom will go right now, I won't be able to get the form. The shelter closes in an hour and I doubt she's going to go, but I will ask her. Unless I go today I can't have the form till next week.

And of course, she said no.

And I already said she would take me to the vet's office.

Couldent you walk there? Or ride a bike or skateboard? Or get a friend to take you?

[Grace]

Could you call the shelter and have them mail the form to you?

No, it's on the other side of town. And if I got a ride I wouldn't make it there in time.

And just to prove to you how little my mom cares about the animals..

She just said why do you need the form? ME: Because we cant afford the spay if we don't. Mom: No. I didn't ask you to go begging for money in the first place. And I don't give a rat's a** about Gizzie. She isn't my first priority and for all I care she can be thrown out in the street. It's about to come to that anyways.

So does anybody really believe how cruel and heartless my mom is now or am I still going to be accused of making excuses?

Edit: I don't think they mail out forms?

I am talking to Bri right now and she is soooo upset. Her mother is being completely unreasonable. Bri is fighting for Gizzie but her mother is unbending because she simply doesn't want the cat or like it. She basically told her I don't give a rat's A$$ what happens to Gizzie. I didn't want it here in the first place. Bri reminder her she was the one who said Gizzie could come home and was told that is the end of it I don't want to hear anymore.

She is extremely upset and I feel bad for her. It is extremely hard when you are a kid and your parent is cutting your path off at every step. She won't allow her to walk or bike to the clinic or the shelter herself, she won't take her and she won't allow her to ask anyone. She won't make a call or allow her to make the call either. It is very upsetting and frustrating for her. I know her heart must be breaking having her mother care so little for something she cares so much about. I mean it is breaking my heart so I can only imagine how bad it makes her feel.


I hope her mom can wake up a little and see how much her being so disagreeable and uncompromising and dare I say cruelhearted she is being to Bri.


ETA: Mom does have a heart afterall. Seeing how upset Bri was getting. She gave in and told her she would take her for the form. She is gone right now. It is pretty bad Bri had to get so upset as to be sobbing and crying before her mother decided to help at all.

Robinson's doesn't offer a low cost spay/neuter anymore. The drive over there was for nothing.

he may not offer that anymore,but believe me the drive meant something........ that you really are trying and that mom is involved at least a bit......... one step at a time.........

[jennielynn1970]

I still think what I thought long ago... get rid of mom and take care of the pets. Children can file for emancipation you know.

I'm sure the drive over there only to find out that they don't offer it anymore just pissed off mom more. Should have called first to be certain.

Bri, seriously, is there any other family member(s) that you could go to and live with? I'm not kidding. This mother of yours is just not doing you or her other responsibilities justice.

Okay, I have NEVER gotten involved in such a controversial thread in my time her on PT. But I feel as if I have to say something. And Bri, I do believe that you love your pets and want what is best for them. I also believe that your Mother is not doing anything to help them. But I also can tell (very clearly) that you are young, and that you have a lot of maturing to do. So, you MUST step up to the plate, and put your foot down to do what needs to be done to get your babies the help they need. And I know that I will probably get a lot of flack for saying this, but here goes.... even if it means that you will need to rehome them. All along, I have been wondering if this is some sort of "tough love" from your Mom. After all that you both are experiencing right now, she may KNOW that it would be best to rehome the pets, and she is trying to help you to see that by not helping you. (Not exactly a great strategy, I know, but it could be a possibility.)

I have to say that I am concerned about some things that you have said in your posts, and most especially about not being able to wake up. What will you do when, after the surgery on Giz, you must give her her pain meds? How will you get up then? I hope that the alarm clock that Jenn is sending to you gets to you in time and you will use it with great thankfulness for her generosity! Many folks on PT are being overly generous, and I am concerned that you do not realize that. Everyone has gone out of their way to help you and your babies, (and I know that you have said that you have done a lot of the work through PMs, etc.) so why not continue that? Show us that you will find a way to get your pets the vet care that they need. Don't continue to make excuses.... DO SOMETHING! Make an effort.

Understand Bri, I am not trying to criticize, I am just trying to help you realize that if you are old enough to care for your pets, then you MUST make more of an effort. I only want what is best for your pets.
