Yesterday
around nine , evening time I was walking outside Scooby and then I saw a couple
coming down from a car, I approached and asked them what did they want, and
then they start telling me that they wanted to see, to see what?, I don’t know,
I told them that our opening time is until six in the evening, then they told
me if we want a Yorkshire Terrier, obviously my answer was no we don’t want
more dogs, after that I asked them why and the answer was , “ Because the dog
has lost hair all over the body” and then we started a dialogue:
Fermín- So
you want to give us your dog, because he has problems, instead of taking the
dog to the vet?
Them- No,
we have taken him to the vet and he told us to euthanize the dog.
F- What vet
practice have you been? I cannot believe that any vet is going to ask you to
euthanize one dog , just for a skin problem.
T- We have
been visiting both vet practices here in Medina.
F-If it is
my dog and a vet tells me that, I would take him to another vet, so I recommend
a vet in Arevalo.
T-ok, we
will take the dog to Arevalo.
F- All
right I will phone the vet to tell him that you are going.
T- By the
way < I would like to know if the horses can be adopted? Just for some
months and later I will bring back the horse.
F- No for
the moment we only adopt dogs and cats.
Conclusion,
they want to abandon one dog with skin problem that I am sure they haven’t
treated, because they think it could be contagious for humans and then to take
a horse for riding on spring and summer probably to go to the Encierros with
him and then to bring back the horse. This is the mentality that we have
regarding animals. Kisses and licks from us. Fermín
