As most of you know, I have been having issues with my dog, Pillow. She now manages to dig under the fence in the backyard and escape and we were written a ticket because of this and also since she wasn't up to date on her rabies shot. The animal control officer told me if I couldn't afford to get her shots and registration, that I could just bring her into PAWS and not have to pay anything. Yes, that's exactly what I wanted! I told Vince about it and he didn't want to. He says he likes having a dog. Coulda fooled me since she was caged up all day, everyday. A few days after that, she got out again and once again animal control showed up. I told her we had already previously been given a ticket. I told her how much I wanted to get rid of the dog, but my boyfriend didn't want to. So she told me about this program called the Spay and Neuter Program for low income families that will spay your dog, give them shots and registration for $50. I didn't really want to pay anything more for this dog, but Vince wanted to think it over. So the day the ticket was due arrived and Vince had yet to come to a decision. So I told him, you can hate me if you want, but I'm taking the dog to PAWS. Off I went and was about halfway there and Vince calls me and says he doesn't want to give her up and to sign up for the Spay and Neuter Program. He would pay for it. So I get her signed up and was told that I would take her into their vet on May 5. I wasn't thrilled, but I figured $50 wasn't so bad. Vince bought a trolley for Pillow so now she can run back and forth across the yard, but still be tied up. Unfortunately, she can still reach the fence and digs underneath, but is stuck just on the other side of the fence because of the tie out. I always have to pull her back in and then lock her up because I'm so pissed off at her!! Why doesn't she learn?!
Anyway, so I have been trying to get ahold of this officer who wrote me the ticket to tell him I got my dog signed up for the program and would the ticket now be voided. He never called me. What an ass!! So today I finally call the clinic and just talk to one of the front desk people, since tomorrow is the day I was supposed to go to court for the ticket and I really would rather not drag Logan out downtown if I don't have to. I tell them my situation and she puts me on hold for a bit and then comes back and tells me the ticket stands and I will have to pay the $100 fine. What the....?!?! I told her I signed my dog up for the program and she says, "It doesn't matter, she didn't get her shots before the ticket was due" I tell her I don't have that kind of money and she says that I will need to go to court tomorrow and ask for an extension. So, not only did I have to pay the $50 to get her shots, but now I have to pay $100 because I didn't get her signed up on time?! It would have been cheaper if I had taken her to my own vet and got it done sooner. I will have to drag Logan out tomorrow, but with no vehicle I don't really now how that is going to work. I don't understand why Vince wanted to keep that stupid dog!! We are having to pay so much for her and half of this family doesn't even want her. I'm about to call PAWS and just tell them to take her because I'm sick of this crap!! I am so pissed off right now, I dare somebody to cross me, they won't know what hit them!!
