This week, Dr Kaia had a very spooky dog rescue experience. Let her tell you about it-----McKitty
Yesterday, I was driving along in Naches, when I saw a very tiny Chihuahua in the middle of the road. A busy road, at a busy intersection, so I put my hazard lights on and stopped. I got the dog in my car, which wasn't hard to do, and went on to the office. I returned in about 5 minutes to knock on some doors to see where the dog might live.
The first house that I went to, with the dog in my arms, was the one closest to where the dog was, was a dilapidated trailer house. I had been there a couple times to take care of a dog that belonged to the people who lived there. There name was still on the box, but it did look pretty sketchy! I entered the back porch door. I wasn't sure if the floor would hold me, and the porch was filled with stuff; footlockers, cupboards, and some old chairs were there. One window had no glass. It didnt' look broken, maybe just open. The front door was slightly ajar. I knocked on the door, softly, and walked around the porch. I looked inside a big cupboard, trying to see if there was a sign of life, and a reason to knock again. It was empty.
I looked around and saw mostly old stuff, maybe stuff that was still there from when the older ladies who's dog I put to sleep lived there. As I walked out, I peeked inside the door and saw that the clock on the stove was on!!!! Maybe someone was around! Could be squatters, who knows? I asked, "anyone home?". No answer.
I went back to my car. At the house next door, I got lucky, the owners had not realized that the dog was outside, never mind on the road!~ I returned her and went home. LIttle did I know, that they had called the owner of the first house and reported me for trespassing!!!
Yup, when I got home I had a few nasty Facebook messages about my illegal activities, and asking me in no uncertain terms, never to go there again!
I know this lady, and I would have never guessed that she could be so nasty! I'm not sure what she thought I was doing, but she didn't believe that was trying to find the dog's home~! NO~ She told me that the dog's owner had told her that I had gone in the house and looked all around. She never mentioned that I came to her house next and left the dog there!~
I explained that I had been there before and taken care of these older ladies' dog. He had a terminal illness and I had diagnosed him and put him down. That isn't something I forget. She told me that those people never lived there and that they took the dog to dr x and that it never had cancer!!!! REally? How did she know that? I felt like a kid called into the office at school! Sure, I looked around while I was waiting to see if anyone was around, but I didn't touch anything really, or move anything~! I surely didn't do anything wrong!
She let me have it! " We are sure glad to hear that you will NEVER have a reason to go there again." Well, no, I absolutely won't.
