#anyways sorry to throw this incredibly personal bummer post at y'all

I'm bouncing off the walls anxious, trying to keep it together, but.

I think I'm getting my dog back.

We rescued Yuna just under 10 years ago, when she was about 4. And then my parents divorced, I stayed with my dad in my childhood home, and then when I had to move in with my grandmother, we couldn't bring her because of her cat.

But my dog has been neglected, scared, antagonized, and banished to the outside because she bit the child who antagonized her. She's bit me twice just for trying to pet her. In case anyone is unaware, historically calm dogs do not just start biting people for no reason.

4th of July was the last straw, because they were forcing her to stay outside in the ridiculous heat and with all the fireworks going off. I could see she was scared, she was panting awful and shaking. And I asked my dad to keep her inside, and he completely fucking blew me off. Scoffed at my concern for MY dog.

So I asked him to let me bring her home. And so far, so good. With any luck my dog will be with me by the end of the weekend.

My mom and I have been distraught over not having her and seeing what she's dealing with. I don't know how many years she has left. She's old, unhealthy, most likely in pain. She needs interaction, she needs love, she needs care and not to be punished for something that isn't her fault. And god dammit, she's mine.

I just want her back. And her living here isn't going to be the best possible situation for her, because she'll have to stay in the basement for the time being while the cat is still here. But fuck if she'll be safe, in a climate controlled environment, and she'll be more than just fed and watered with my mom and I.

But I would rather see her be rehabbed and rehomed or even put down before I continue watching her rot in my dad's backyard.

Anyways. Please keep your fingers crossed for me that I can have my baby back with me soon.
