Current mood: anxious

I am disable and I have three dogs I live in an apartment which allow dogs for rent and depost. Muffin is on the lease but as time went on Tequila which lived next door was being neglected tequila would cry,get to my side of yard and my heart broke cuz she was so matted,infested,and left tied up all day in the back with dirty watter so I took it upon myself to ask the nieghbors if they would give me permission to clean her up and take care of her and luckily they said yes.That how tequila came into my life as time went on rebelde belonged to a lady that would come over and rebelda was infested and was getting hit by her because rebelde would have accidents while the lady would not take her outside so I asked her if i could take rebelde and again the answer was yes.unfortuanately rebelde did not have her shots so she got parvo so I take her to the emergency and I was given a chose of letting rebelde go or getting in depht I chose to get in dept. I love my three girls so much all three do their part in my therapy,so on friday 6/13/08 I recieve a notice from apartment management letting me know i have to many dogs and i am only allowed 2 but i would have to pay rent and i would have to get rid of one.I cant do that,reason being is tequila has issues of biting and i am so afraid no one will want her and tequila would end up put down,and of course that would break my heart. I feel sick. I cant afford to pay no more rent when actually my lease is up and rent has beem raised up 150.00. I am on ssi my daughter has lost her job cuz she had an accident and not able to get a job.So my question is there anything i can do,any advise,resourses,I will do all i can to keep my girls I need them as much as they need me. I have had my girls for a year and now they want to make me give one up I so do appreciate these apartments let us have dogs but this is devasting and i know there has to be a law orsomething i can do. If it would come to me having to find a home for my girl I will be looking for someone that lives close so we would stay in contact and get together once in a while so if there is anyone out there that can help I would love for this to be a happy ending story. thank you belinda and her girls!!!

I wonder why you ask for people to contact you at your yahoo address instead of people posting responses here or e-mailing you at your AA address.  Usually only bots or scammers want to be contacted at yahoo.

My first double post - woo hoo

Are you serious. Wow I came here cuz I need support . sad.

Most people on the site get a little "leary" of anybody that posts their real email address in the fourm. Thats not really a good thing to do. There is an email service for every member within this site. The only time members have other members real email addys is when, it has been exchanged privately......and......when a new member posts a "yahoo" email addy in a forum or in the chatroom, a huge red flag screams ....BOT.....

hi thanks for the luck i sure need it. i myself is not a computer savvy but maybe it means bark out lound. smile

thanks for the input i did not know that so i will delete my email.

Bots are not real. It is a computer generated email or profile. The email alsomt always states they saw your profile, and your the most beautiful person they have ever see, that their entire family is dead, and that they have been left millions of dollars....and would love to share it with you. Oh, and for some reason BOTS love to use "yahoo" addresses. Once you go to their Yahoo addy, they will lure you in to get your personal information, bank accounts etc usually the only post a bot will put in the forums, is a post that makes people feel so badly for them, that they respond to it........stay away from BOTS.....when a Bot is in the chatroom, they can not keep up with the room as far as typing, and they do not make sense of what they type...you could ask them a question in the chatroom like "how many dogs do you have?"-> and they may answer, please email me at blablabla@ yahoo.com....it has gotten better on this site, much less bots, but they are everywhere on the internet.....

i dont think its too much to ask if someone sent you pics or let you know how your baby was doing with them.  i have a friend who gave up her dog to people she knew (not terribly close to them, but friendly)- and he is loving his new home- and my friend even gets to dog sit for them sometimes.  its a win-win situation, and if it comes to that i am sure you will find that too. 

its also not to much to ask for a miracle that your landlords would let you keep 3 dogs.  you never know- it doesnt hurt to ask- and i hope it works out.  personally, i would still look at other apts just to see whats out there.  there might be nothing better, but i like to look just to see what other options i have.  if you do craigslist, just be careful- cause people can be dishonest there too.  (its a shame we are all made to be so paranoid now, but you have to be optimistically cautious!)

best wishes- i wish you didnt have to go through this decision- i can easily see how you got to the point where you are, and it easy to say you shouldnt have taken the extra dog in- but its also easy to see why you helped all of them.  i wish there were more people so willing to help needy animals- there are way too many.  hang in there!
