Good food, rest and love can do allot for them. I found a dog (Boone) along the road about 4 years ago and he was a rack of bones (about 60 lbs underweight), had lots of wounds and mange. He ended up costing quite a bit over the next year, but he is a fine dog and I don't regret the money spent. He is a purebred Dogue de Bordeaux, chipped as well, but the chip was untraceable as the owners/breeders (suspect puppy mill breeder) didn't register it. He still has issues with limping and I'm sure surgery would benefit him, but I can't afford it, so we go the route of controlling the pain with meds when needed. Which is most likely what I would do for myself as well! ;-) He has been a costly 'free dog', but has brought allot of joy along the way. Good luck with Trooper.<br />TammyTammyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02131066591477169851noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21054991.post-24336975529723351232010-02-16T16:40:09.969-06:002010-02-16T16:40:09.969-06:00My daughter was upset we had our cats 'fixed&#...My daughter was upset we had our cats 'fixed'.

We are now up into the $400 + on Bob, the dumped off cat, who is now living with us. We are pretty sure he was throw from a car too. I really hope there is a special place in hell for those people that abuse animals.Candy https://www.blogger.com/profile/01852157597174301499noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21054991.post-43469930954528053832010-02-13T21:17:15.365-06:002010-02-13T21:17:15.365-06:00Trooper is a great name.

You are such a good person, thank you.<br /><br />I will post about this on my blog later today - right now I have a post up that I would like my Tadpoles to read [I hope you understand] but I know that Trooper's cause is very important too. I just wish there weren't people in the world that would do this to a poor animal.<br /><br />To be honest - I don't think he jumped/fell out of the back of a truck - I think he was tossed. Which really makes me angry.<br /><br />Thanks again for doing this. You are a special person. [I love that you picked "Trooper" - you are right about it fitting because of his travails - but he looks like a lil' State Trooper in their brown uniforms. LOL. Give him big love from us]SkippyMomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09479661523059481730noreply@blogger.com
