They don't call me "PETA" for nothin....

[Lauren Reid]

so, i'm on my way to JoAnn Fabrics w/ one of my boys this afternoon.... (he wants to buy fabric to make a HAT and a shirt...uh okay), so we're driving down a busy road (like those busy 4 lane-ers) and then the traffic in front of my slows down and starts going around something, when i got up to it, i saw it was a little DOG in the street! So i stopped the car right there and got out of the car and put the dog in our car and pulled around into a parking lot. I saw he had no collar on so there was no # to call... so we headed back home w/ him. He just curled up by Josh's feet on the ride home.

So, then we get home and i open the back door and then run over to open the gate to our back yard, then i hear a THUD... then i see a LIMPING dog! OY! so i guess he must have fallen out as we was getting out!

ANYWAY so we got him in the yard... he came through the house as i got him water and food and then we realized he had FLEAS! AND A TICK! So back out he went and I called the emergency animal clinic... and they said to get Advantix flea stuff and that they could see if he was microchipped whenever i wanted to bring him in. Seriously the poor thing is COVERED in fleas, like insanely covered! i feel so bad cuz now he's just stuck outside while the flea spray does it's thing.

DH is none to pleased that we have this dog here...... what was i suppose to do though just drive around the dog and leave him to get hit by a car!?!?!? how the heck could i have done that?!?!

Anywho, so just hoping that the fleas don't infest our house and that we can get him cleared up so i can get him in my car and to the vet or whatever. W/ the amount of fleas i doubt he has an owner.. so who knows what other illnesses he might have...

send some flea free vibes our way please!

[MissKim]

He looks like Bolt, from the Disney movie!

Thanks for taking care of him. We need more people like you.

[Ebony]

Aw Lauren, seriously, there needs to be more people like you.
That poor pup, hope he's ok!
*thinking flea free thoughts* for you

[rachaelsscraps]

Oh no!!!!

We had a stray kitten dumped on us that was LOADED with fleas- and our pets never got them. They are on Advantix, so def get some!!!

Good luck and hopefully the poor pup will be ok!!

[kbbeale]

Gotta help out where ya can, right? Makes me sick to see people just drive by an animal that is obviously in danger - thank you for stopping for him. Hope he is ok and Im sure he's just happy to be SAFE right now. Hugs to you!

Good for you, stopping for the poor dog. It drives my husband crazy that I stop for dogs that I see out. I hope you get the fleas taken care of soon and the you are able to find it's real home if he is chipped or a good home for it, if you can't keep it yourself. Good luck.

poor dog :[ I hope he doesn't have parvo or something like that.. LOL i watch animal cops too much.. so many of the dogs they find have parvo.

All of my cats have been rescued!! Granted, I didn't grab them out of the middle of the street though!! One was stolen by one of my boys though...he told me he found her, but come to find out, her owners were some druggies that lived near my son, and he knew they weren't taking care of her! She's one of our lovies now...she's has a good life!

[nun69]

good for you for being a good citizen and I hope he gets a clean bill of health and the fleas die quickly!
