So I'll totally spare you the story about how mad I am at the person that I got Linus from. Saying he had a couple bad teeth and liked to spray his mark just once in your house is a farrrr cry from the truth.

The first few days, I hadn't really noticed things about the dog like if he was going pooh ok. I mean that's gross and ehhh I figured I'd know it if things weren't ok. Well, I knew it fo' show very quickly. I came home to a HUGE mess in his kennel.

I thought, ok, he's fine. Just some nerves. He keeps marking furniture posts because he hasn't been fixed (which I do think has a lot to do with it but still...). I just thought it was normal being in a new place.

Well, I took him to get checked out on Friday because the problem hadn't gone away. I was told that he needs anywhere fromm 4-6 teeth pulled asap, he had a horrible infection in his mouth, and had some kind of respiratory thing. They knew all that before the labs they did on him. Those labs came back today showing that he's positive for heartworm, ring worm, hook worm, low protein levels, and something about his calcium that's bad and causing crystals in his pee.

I can deal with all of that just fine except the heartworm. We are talking tons of money to rid him of the heartworms. Plus it would be like putting the poor little thing through chemo. I can't put him through all that. :(

So I contacted a few rescues and I'm really hoping someone can take him and help him or recommend someone for me to take him to.

I've wanted a dog for so long, and when I get one, this is what I get. I'm sad and so angry. The woman spent money on grooming him but didn't bother taking him to get a simple $25 heartworm test?! Oh, and I email her today to tell her what happened and she pretty much said that she was sorry and thinks I should put him down asap so he won't suffer. I agree there...... but really? grrr

I cringe at the thought of how long the poor guy has been suffering. :(
