We found something horribly sad today. I'm still tearing up. Our road is just off a main highway and secluded, so we get a lot of dogs dumped. Today we found two starving little male puppies at the cemetery on our road. They had wandered through the gate and gotten stuck in the cemetery which has a chain link fence. They were so emaciated and pitiful. We were on our way home from a feed and grocery run so we broke open a bag of dog food and dropped them a little over the fence. The way they ate almost made me cry. It was terrible.
We came back later after dinner and chores with water and more food. Not much, since we don't want to overwhelm their systems. I added some goat milk and raw egg to their dog food. My dad loves dogs just as much as I do, and the two of us sat and talked to them while they inhaled the food and water. I still can't believe people do this. All the time. When there are so many better options. Even putting the dogs down would be more merciful.
Anyways. We are going to keep them at the cemetery for now, it's only a minute away and I don't have anywhere to keep them here at home, plus I don't think the LGDs would like them. We will probably call around to shelters and rescues tomorrow, though I WISH I could keep them. But certain members of my family would probably not agree to that.
Anyways. Thanks for listening to my rant. I know this happens all the time but I still feel horrible every time I see it.
