Pfft, it's all GOOD that you rescued Abe. I hope he doesn't rack up the vet costs too badly, despite how little blood will fit in that bacon-stuffed body.


Besides - you can't let Abe die!



(Chris would feel guilty for weeks)

Or at least a day or two.

I'm reminded why my father never wanted a dog, he was heart broken over the loss of the one he had in Canada. It just bugs me that there are so many neglected pets out there - you do what you can, but there's always so much more.

Chris is such a curmudgeon on this board, but you should see him "talk" for Abe.

I'm in Chihuahualand.
I followed a link from Ellen's dog story to Petfinder. I'm looking at pics of all these Chihuahuas without homes. CUuuuuuute!

I grew up with a white Chihuahua terrier. So very cute. Miss him.
:)

GC: have you tried craigslist?

Naw, I'm just dreaming at this point. My building doesn't allow dogs. Cats, yes. Dogs, no.
Maybe in the future at another place...
:)

Awww, little Abe. I'm sorry about this, but I suspect he does appreciate the love and care you've given him so far. You're doing good, no question and you have a really big heart. Nothing wrong with that as far as I'm concerned.

I used to VOW that I'd never have a chihuahua...

Now I've got two of the cutest little babies to ever pitter patter across a kitchen floor... Ethel has eyes more powerful than Mara... look into them and you're doomed! :D

Are they considering steroids? I know steroids do worlds of wonder in human auto-immune (but I'm not sure that doggie auto-immune works the same way.)

I also say: good. You're not stupid. You have a big heart and NOTHING is stupid about that.

Yes, the are giving him steroids along with some other stuff. He's on an IV as well. They're trying to get some nutririon into him. I have to call the vet about 11 to see how his night was. I think he's going to stay at the vet for a few days.
