Hey every pawdy, my name is Everest. I am a 9-week-old Lab pup. I live here at BARK.
I thought I was living in a rescue but today I learned I am living in an insane asylum! You would not believe the crazy that happened here today. Maybe it was the weather, maybe it was the moon, I don't know but it was insane!
The day started as usually. Our houses were cleaned, we got to play in the common area, and then we had a great breakfast. Then holy cow, the doo-doo hit the fan and it flew all day long.
First call was about a 15-year-old pregnant girl dog. Yep, there's nothing wrong with your reading skills,15 and pregnant! Just in case you didn't know, girl dogs don't go through "manypaws" like girl hoomans do and we boys can also make babies until the day we die.
Next was a call about needing space for a little Maltese mix girl dog. To keep the story straight I'll call the woman that made the initial call, Rose. I'll call her tenet, the lady needing help Ida, and the awful woman that caused this whole incident Wicked.
Rose called saying she needed a place for three dogs. Many questions were asked about the dogs and how she came about getting them. I'm going to share the story of the Maltese mix because the other crazy story is much too long for tonight.
Rose said Ida was working and had asked her to call BARK to see if we could help. Rose said, Ida took the little girl dog, Cola, because she was in danger and needed a safe place and the dog was in a create in Rose's garage . Ida couldn't keep her because she already has two dogs. The director said she wouldn't commit to take Cola until she talked with Ida to get the full story of how she got the dog and why she was trying to surrender her.
Ida called as soon as she got out of work. She said agreed to take Cola because her person, Wicked, wanted Cola gone. They got a new puppy and didn't want a 7-year-old any more. She explained that she had all the paper work and said Cola was a great little girl dog and in good health.
Ida also said that Rose couldn't keep Cola because some breeder, who I will call Evil, dumped 10 dogs with Rose. Adding in Rose's 4 dogs that makes 14 dogs living in her house. She also said Rose is 88-years-old.
The cat room lady said she knew Ida and said she was trustworthy. So, the director committed to take in Cola. There's no room at BARK but because Cola is so tiny she could be squeezed in some place in the cattery.
Then the guy that chose to move into an apartment where his dog couldn't live, then the lady with 3 cats was having a baby and didn't want the cats any more, next was the landlord with tenets that made a midnight move and left their two dogs and cat behind, and about 30 other calls concerning critters in need. Yes, this all real.
Add all that in with normal daily stuff like laundry, walks, play time, visitors the day was absolutely wild!
I just wanted to share our day. I am so glad that I am a sweet puppy and I got to sleep and play all day. Tonight isn't so great either. People breaking the law and lighting off fire works that hurt my ears because they are so loud.
I'm just going to try to get on the bottom of the puppy pile and try to forget all about this day.
Sweet dreams and puppy smooches,
Everest
