Fucking Awful. That's what I have to say about the past week.

We took the dog in for some more tests yesterday and found out that he has advanced heartworms. They said that he had them before we ever took him home from the Humane Society and it was just too early at that time to show up in the tests that they did. He's so far gone that the only thing they could give him to treat him would probably kill him. He has a few weeks at most left and they said if he hangs around that long he will slowly starve to death or suffocate from the fluid in his lungs.

They gave us the weekend to be with him and then we have to bring him back on Monday to end his suffering.

Heartworms are something that are completely preventable. If the people who had him before us had just taken care of him instead of abusing him, not vaccinating him, and leaving him outside all of the time...he would have lived a long and healthy life.

Instead he only spent ten months with people who truly loved him and cared about him.

I'm sorry, I just can't write anymore right now.
