I was driving to lunch today...

I was driving to lunch today and saw a mangy (almost naked) dog outside of a business.  I didn't stop that second because I needed time to think of what I should do (my snap reaction isn't nice), so I had lunch with Shaun and then went back.  The dog was gone, but I asked the business owner about him.  He said that it's not his dog... it's just a dog that follows one of his customers everywhere.  The dog also doesn't belong to the guy he follows... I guess they are just buddies.

He said that he lives over there in the ghetto and pointed towards Glen Addie.  The business owner said they all feed him when he comes around, so that's nice.  I asked if I picked up mange cure if anyone would put it on the dog and he said that he's sure the guy he follows would.

So... I need two kinds of help.

First of all:  I'm not sure what kind of mange he has (or if that is definitely it), but he's almost totally bald and he wasn't a few months ago according to the business owner.  I know that Advocate will kill both kinds of mange plus de-worm him and that would avoid him having to be bathed in this cold weather, as I'm sure he's not an inside dog.  I bet he weighs between 30 and 40 lbs.  I can't think of any other mange cure that helps both kinds that doesn't require bathing, but if there is one out there, let me know.

Second, I am pretty broke right now... as in... "I paid the mortgage payment this month, so Merry Christmas" broke.  LOL  It's not that big a deal to me because I'm not that much of a holiday person, so it's just whatever.  But this dog is breaking my heart.  Would anyone be willing to donate money towards getting him some medication?  I would greatly appreciate some help with this.  If you don't want to straight up donate to the cause you could go order from my Etsy and get something in return.  Either way.

As much as I really hate to sound like I'm pushing my Etsy, the shop is www.etsy.com/shop/PolishAllTheThings and there is an active coupon code for 25% off through the end of the year. The coupon code is "TORTROISE".  LOL  Maybe I should go in and change it to "mangy dog."  I'm not really going to do that.  Maybe I'll find a sick or hurt animal BEFORE I decide to make a coupon next time.  😛

But seriously.  Help him out.  It's too cold out to be naked.  ❤
