don't hate me, though. i love that pup as well. but the past two months, things have become rough and i have gotten too busy to give her a bath or a brief dog walk, even. so, i let her stay for a while to the former owner, but she became sickly and ugly when i got her back.
in a desperate attempt to make her well, i put her in confinement in a dog and cat hospital, and during her brief stay there, her bills shot up to my regret.
when i finally fetched her, she shed so much of her hair and has become too thin. i don't really know how animals feel when they get into confinement for treatment, but from the looks of it, my pup has become worse.
so, being a busy bee, i have decided to give her away, 'cause with the way she looks, i don't think people would get interested into buying her.
this morning, i went back to her former owner in my intention to give her back so somebody can really take good care of her. but the old man wasn't there.
the boy who helped him sell the dog, however, was present so i asked him if he wants it. as soon as the boy nodded, i quickly tied "Snowy"'s leash on a metal post nearby and bid both of them goodbye.
i wouldn't have given her away if i have enough time to take care of her. it also pains me leaving her that way. two months might not be long enough for me to get attached. but i took care of that pup just the same, fed her, gave her a bath almost everyday and walked her after getting home.
one thing i realized, it's hard taking care of a pup. it's not easy as 1-2-3. owning a pup or a dog is a lifetime commitment, and it takes a lot of patience, time, and money to get things going smoothly. i paid P5,000 for her hospital confinement, not to mention how costly dog food and medicine/vaccines are.
i shouldn't have bought her in the first place. well, lesson learned. i have to nip it in the bud before things get worse. for her welfare, for my welfare.
here are "Snowy's" pics when she was still 2-months-old and still healthy looking.
