rest in peace little guy. the day my nan died i held axel in my arms as they carried out her body. he knew she was gone. i wonder if he has missed her every day since that day, just like i have.
this one hurts. bentley was an awesome dog. he loved coming to see me and get his haircut. his mom would record him pulling into the parking lot and he would go nuts cuz he knew he was going to see me. when he was done his haircut he always fell asleep in the kennel. i watched him decline the last handful of grooms. this part of the job is the worst. i'll never forget and always miss you bentley. until we meet again
here's an old pic of axel and nan back in 2012. it's crazy how fast things change. they're both gone now but i find some comfort knowing they're together again. i'll miss both of you forever. my heart aches knowing i wont see them for a long time. hopefully sooner than later
3 years you've been gone. it still hurts and i can't imagine it never hurting. i think of you every single morning without fail. i miss you way worse than i ever could have imagined. i still feel like a piece of me died that day along with you. i'll never be the person i was before you left us. i'll never stop missing you.
missing nan something extra this morning. not a day goes by i don't think of her. i miss who i was before she died. i really don't think ill ever truly be the same. a piece of me is gone forever. it's almost been 3 years since you left. wish i could hug you one last time
Man but the notes on that post really are just tumblr showing they have no idea how anything works.
"report to your local animal abuse people not to cops" local animal abuse people would be animal control. Animal control officers are cops.
"rabies is treatable if you go to the doctor right after the bite" rabies is PREVENTABLE, not treatable. There is no cure for rabies. If you suspect you came into contact with a rabid animal, you need to get a series of rabies vaccinations to prevent the virus from taking over your body. This is not a treatment and it only works if you go right away. If you show any symptoms of rabies it is too late.
"rabies is fatal in animals but treatable in humans" rabies has a 100% fatality rate and is not considered a survivable disease at this point in time. If you contract rabies YOU WILL DIE. The "treatment" in humans is called the Milwaukee Protocol, only 14% of people survive it, and it leaves you with massive brain damage and effectively turns you into a vegetable. You do not return to a normal life afterwards. Very few people who have undergone this process are capable of doing more than laying in a hospital bed and eating and breathing through tubes. To my knowledge only one person was able to live a semi-normal life after years and years of ongoing therapy and was not expected to have made it even through her first year after treatment.
I cannot stress enough how rabies is unlike any other disease you may be thinking of. It's required on a federal level in this country to vaccinate pretty much any domestic animal that comes into contact with wildlife for one reason and one reason only: it is not considered possible to cure rabies and the spread of disease would threaten all mammalian life including our own if allowed to continue to propagate.
damn andrew. gone way too soon. i'll never forget this night. we got drunk and broke into the community pool. we really had some great times when we were younger. i'm thankful i got to know you buddy. you were one of a kind.
