Today I got home from work and found that someone had dumped a dog off in my fenced in back yard. The poor thing had not been taken care of and you could see his ribs and fur was matted down full for fleas and I also found several tics. I gave her a flea bath, brushed her what I could, gave her a new collar as the one that was on it was choking it was so tight. I work for a dog food plant and get free dog food so I went and got some for her. The girls named it Bisket and she is really shy and calm and all she wants to do is follow me everywhere I go

She looks much better now

Good on you MDS! That's a very selfless thing for you to do...wish there were more people like you around my neighborhood. I can't stand when people don't/won't take care of their pets...for the longest time there was a 6 month old lab running around my neighborhood. When I approached the owner about it (which won't surprise you a bit if you've read some of my past Community posts), she told me that she didn't realize that the dog was loose until after she got home from her 2nd job, which she works at 5 nights a week. So of course I asked who takes care of the dog during the day and she said she leaves food/water out for him so he's fine.

He is??? Then why is he running around the neighborhood eating trash?
Grrrr.....I called PAWS--Panhandle Animal Welfare Society--they came and took the dog.

I have a dog door going into the garage for shelter from the weather

She's in there sleeping right now. When I first found her she was so weak she couldn't hardly stand but after nursing her about most of this afternoon she got up and even ran around the yard once

If I sit down on the swing she's right there next to me
