Hi 👋🏼, I'm Susan. For those playing along at home, Harry has ended up in What's Up In Delaware Ohio (again) and another Delaware group that I've never heard of [Delaware Ohio Community Bulletin Board]. It was stated that I "suck as a human being" and other lovely sentiments.
As always, my phone number is on Harry's collar. We love him. We try our best. We spent over $1000 on his teeth last month. But sometimes that looks like neglect from a different lens.
I'm going to need a canned response, I suppose. Or I need to leave the state, HOA, country, whatever. I don't have to attend every fight that I'm invited to, but people can be hurtful.
Here's what I wrote about Harry, if it helps with understanding the treaty that we signed.
"Harry came to us as an adult, already having been in someone else's home, and he had very poor bathroom habits including p**ping and peeing on the floor if he was not let outside - he scratched at the door to let us know what was expected. I couldn't return him, because they told me he would be euthanized. I'm between a rock and a hard place again.
He didn't have burrs when he left the house this afternoon, but he likes to walk through the empty lot across from the Ohio Health office. I noticed that he had a new matt on his neck that wasn't there on Friday, and I expected to address it when he came in for the evening. I'm not sure what he was up to this weekend (we were out of town and he was home, inside). He was making his rounds, checking on his neighborhood this afternoon, and he knows who will give him snacks and treats, much to our chagrin. His thick coat keeps him warm, but it's prone to matts and burrs, we do try our best to stay on top of it.
He just had a hefty amount of dental care, he has tooth resorption, so we do try to care for him, which is also why he has a GPS tracker. Our other cats are indoors, but he has been quite persistent about being let out..."
And Facebook won't let me post more than that
