Not in the mood
Not in the mood for light sarcasm today. I awoke at 4 in the morning with a grey splotch on the right side of the right eye. Twenty years ago, I had retinal detachment surgery on both eyes. It has taken years for the eyes to start seeing adequately, and now I’m concerned I’ll be needing surgery on the right eye — again.
As if voter fraud in the USA isn’t enough of a concern.
Between that, and what my SIL is presently going through in her life, it sucks the humor right out of a person.
As you will see, I left the worst news for last.
A mother dog had been abandoned near a gas station a few months ago. My SIL took her in with a plan to find homes for the pups after they were old enough. The mother dog gave birth to 13 puppies.
My SIL found a home for one puppy, and was trying to find homes for the other pups.
She went into town on Friday, and during that time someone jumped the fence intent on poisoning them.
I won’t go into detail about how useless animal control and the veterinarians in the area were in this situation. Animal control didn’t offer to euthanize puppies screaming in pain, and veterinary offices couldn’t possibly help without syphoning money from a woman living on social security.
Oh, and she was advised to get a camera system. A little late, don’t you think?
Had Dr. Jeff been available, I have no doubt he would have rushed to the scene to help. But the best veterinarian in the world died from cancer recently. https://rantingalong.blog/2020/11/09/the-worlds-best-veterinarian-2/
No, at this moment I’m not in a particularly happy mood, and can’t stop wishing the same miserable fate on the person who poisoned 10 happy, loving puppies.
The ones that are heartbroken over the senseless treatment of animals and other innocence May feel like they are too sensitive for the worlds ugliness sometimes. Embrace your gift. You are going to change the world ❤️

Abuse of animals is a crime, it’s so sad to hear about this. I certainly hope your eye issue is not serious. There’s no voter fraud in The United States just a thug trying to overthrow the government. Don’t worry it won’t happen. Also Florida borne.

There isn’t much I can do to help the puppies, however, I can do something about telling people about voter fraud.
There is so much news about voter fraud, if you look for it. Supreme Court justices are getting involved. Dominion servers might have been the reasons Hillary won over Sanders. And the vote fraud from mail in ballots is horrific!
There are hundreds of sworn affidavits of voter fraud. Anyone of any US political party affiliation needs to be concerned.

Getting into an argument about politics and losing our republic (as in the National Anthem: “…and to the republic for which it stands) isn’t what this post is about. It’s about the cruelty of people — no matter their party affiliation.
If you want to write a political post, I’ll be happy to have a friendly debate with you on your post.

Thank you sis. I was gone a little over 2 hours and in less than 24 hrs, 10 puppies died in terrible pain. 2 were dead before I got home. The rest died knowing I was trying to help them, but those 1st 2 hurt worse than the other 8. I at least knew I tried to help for those 8, but the 1st 2 had NO comfort, nor for me knowing they died alone.
I’m thankful for the comfort from family and friends, and in spite of wanting to be vengeful over it, I know that my anger and vengeful wishes will only hurt me, not help the poor pups, nor hurt the idiot that was so mean.
I take comfort in knowing that God has a place for these poor little ones just over that rainbow bridge, and with the rest of the ones He has taken to His heart there. They will. NOW, never have to know cruelty and abuse, but also not know the love of humans.

Thanks for adding the information I didn’t have available, and the possibility that the poison was antifreeze.
People who would do that to puppies have a greater chance of becoming serial killers. It won’t bring back those pups, but it might save someone else’s, and perhaps someone son or daughter, to be rid of the real animals in the world: Humans with no conscience, no ethics, and a love for making others miserable.

There is someone in the area who is killing animals with an airgun. It might be the same person who poured antifreeze into the puppies bowls. I wish it were temporary.

If the perpetrators get poisoned like the pups they would be getting off easy in my books.

That is certainly another way to look at it, and I would think that perhaps waterboarding for 20 years, being locked in a cage, and forced to eat dog food before the poison might work, too.
I have to admit that in a few days, I might calm down. But right now, this is the way the writer’s mind seeks therapy. It might end up in a book one day.
