Do I hate people?

Well, years ago I liked people and enjoyed working with them but then I began to see how dishonest, ignorant and lacking in compassion they were and I began to hate them.

While volunteering as an animal rescuer over the past 8 years I have come across some really crazy animals. Biting animals, peeing animals, unpredictable, distrusting, etc. and have each time had compassion and understanding...realizing that these animals are the product of their environments.

Why am I saying all of this....well, this week, the people hater that I have become started a new job.....at a hospital and found myself liking my job though my fat body hurts from all the bending and more than once I have come home teary-eyed from the pain I still actually like the job...why...the people! PEOPLE???? Yep. I like walking into a room to get a person's trash and smiling at them in their time of great need. To pray for them as I walk out...for God to bless them and their families and give them the kind of peace that only he can.

So in conclusion I have now determined, that, I , in fact, do not hate people but instead I hate lack of compassion and ignorance and finally realize that people, like animals, are also the products of their environments and are not born lying jerks....they become that way because they were taught ignorance and lack of compassion and if I hate them than I too lack compassion and I too am ignorant. So, as a way to not hate myself, I hereby withdraw my statement that, "I hate people".

The End!

Stupid people

I know...my posts have been a bit like complaints lately but this IS zoo related!

Got a call this morning...you know, SUNDAY morning at 7:30...."Christine, it's Bill Brush, I adopted Roy from you. I am done with him, I don't want him anymore. I signed a contract saying I would bring him back to you and I am coming out that way today for a hockey game. Can I bring him today? We are getting ready to leave now. He has been peeing on the floor" Me-- "Did you do do a urine test?" Him--"I did every test you said we needed to do, even a stool check"....HUH? A stool check always tells us if a dog has a UTI so THAT makes PERFECT sense! He claims the vet advised them to take food AND water away at SEVEN in the evening. Whatever....any half-way intelligent vet would say that if a perfectly trained dog starts peeing on the floor that a urine test should be done. He apologized for "doing this, this close to the holiday"....I said it was no problem that he probably just had an infection and would be fine. To which he replied "I had him to the vet and had every test known to man done"....OK idiot bring him back to me now before I have to hunt you down and have ROB beat your face in! UGH!

So yes, Sunday, four days before Christmas...one day prior to starting my job....I am getting a bounce AND a Beagle from another foster home who is going out of town for the holiday. That will bring me up to FOUR foster dogs! The good news is, Rob will probably kill me and end my suffering very soon!

Job

So today I was official hired at Robinson! And about that marriage thing...don't do it! Not because it will protect from any pain but it is a waste of time and money!...I may be getting a divorce because I kind of hate Rob right now. LOL He wanted me to get a job....I wanted me to get a job but as soon as I got a job he turned into a madman! UGH! Too bad we cannot enjoy the good news like normal people! :o(

THIS IS TRUE....

If you get an email stating "THIS IS TRUE"....most likely it isn't. You know that whole, "He who excuses accuses" saying....yeah, it kind of applies here.....like "TRUST ME"....if curiosity gets the better of you and you would like to know if, in fact, it is true.... go to www.snopes.com and type in whatever it is in the search box. The name of the supposed "missing child" or the "sick baby who gets 2 cents with every foward".

I used to forward that stuff too...but now, I go to snopes and check it out before I forward that stuff. You should do it too! :o)

Marriage

So lately I have been reading about/talking to people that do not want to get married because of their parents or whoever having a bad marriage experience.

And I just don't get it....the problem with failed marriages isn't the marriage...it is the heart ache that comes when it fails. The only way to prevent that is to not ever get close to anyone. The downside to that is...never getting close to anyone. That saying, "It is better to have loved and lost than to have never loved at all" comes to mind. I have loved other people but clearly the love of my life is Rob and though I have not lost him....I still think it was worth the risk and if I had said no to him when he proposed and we continued the way we were and one day he decided to be a jerk-face (this has happened actually. LOL), I don't think it would have hurt any less.

People are the problem...not marriage.

I am just saying----cuz I can.

November 26th

So this is Riptide, he was adopted out through Rose's Rescue (you know, that group I started 4 years ago and got stabbed in the back for?) anyhow, I got a call last week that he had "attacked" a boy in the home after 1.5 years! The people lied several times and I have come to the conclusion that the dog had hurt his leg (I had to take him to the vet as it was clearly sore and swollen) the boy tripped over him, hitting the leg and the dog freaked and bit him...in the BACK of the head...Anyhow, he is now in Rabies quarantine per the dog bite law but he is awesome and should easily be able to be adopted to a family without young children. I cannot get him to respond to ANYTHING I do to him or by him.

Madison wanted to dress extra fancy for church Sunday.

This is Jasper(black variberk, blazed rex boy). Our newest rattie! An owner surrender with is brother Remington. (a dark phase pearl dumbo boy).

Punk being punky!

Molly Sue trying out Riptides bed...complete with pillow and shark stuffie.

Zoo Drama

At the new park!

Mariah and her cone....

Romeo and his teeth. LOL.

Mariah's foot today!

Baloopy telling me he will not make it through the night....his shoulder is going to kill him before daybreak!

Well, we have drama on all fronts right now but I will focus on the animals right now.

Ethan's tail is all healed and even has hair! Baloo was all healed up from his battle with our foster, Charlie until last night he injured his shoulder while outside. Not sure what the deal is...putting him on some anti imflamatory for a few days and see if it will heal on it's own...if not, off to the vet for him too! Mariah's foot apparently needed to be left unwrapped...after 3 weeks post surgery, I finally got to see it. I was a retard and let her take her cone off to eat (after I swore to the vet that I wouldn't! UGH) and she got to it and made it worse again...so NO more. She must wear the cone for the rest of her life...or until her foot is healed MAYBE! LOL. Dylan is doing better too. His poop is even back to normal! YAY!
