Irritations

I'm old, I'm white, conservative, Republican!

Mostly I like facebook, but, when the raised in Nebraska, redneck, is talking to her Homiez, on FB, I just want to hurl.

Lady, you are NOT a Homey! You are white as the driven snow, you are married to a redneck from Nebraska. You have 3 white kids. Yeah, I know your hubby is in the military, bless him! And I know, you've lived in Hawaii, Mississippi, and now Texas. And I know with your husbands first deployment to Iraq you spent all of his money on meth and you "socialized" with the local hispanic population, they had all the drugs!

Now that your hubby is home, to keep an eye on you, and you have 2 more kids, you are no longer an illegal drug addict, but you have medicine cabinet full of legal drugs.

I don't have a problem with any race or religion, not bashing any.

But, seriously, white girl, get over yourself. 2 months ago, your 6 year old son tried to commit suicide by cutting his throat with a table knife. Now the military wants to blame this on deployment. It was not deployment, it was YOU! High for days, then sleep for days, leaving the little guy to fend for himself, but you don't have the guts to admit it and help your son!

You'd rather post on FB to your Homiez!

An incurable case of inverted cranial rectalitis!

The dog that ate the marijuana

Ok, some of you frequent here to see what's up at Redneck Revue, some of of you stumble across this blog, looking for redneck horseshoes.

I appreciate my regular readers and welcome any new ones. Now, I have a story for all of you!

If you don't know, I work for a veterinarian, most days, it's vaccinations, vomiting, declaws, spays, etc. pretty mundane stuff.

But, once in a while something that just blows your mind will walk in the door. It happened today.

Wednesday, is our Dr.s day off. So me and the vet tech use Wednesdays to catch up on filing, cleaning, inventory, etc.

We had a quiet day, until about 4pm. A lady from a nearby town walks in with a sick puppy. It's about 4 months old, very thin, rigid, and not very responsive.

Just a bit of background here. Bear with me while I set this up.

This lady is from a town 40 miles away and suddenly showed up a few weeks ago with one sick puppy, we fixed it up.

Then she shows up with 4 sick boxer puppies, thin, dirty, loaded with worms.

I have to give the lady credit, her heart is in the right place, but, her brain isn't.

Given we are a small, rural community, I ask around a bit, because things are just not right with this whole deal. Come to find out, her father was arrested a few years ago on animal cruelty charges. The man had sheep in his basement, cows that starved to death and numerous dogs and cats in the house that were seized, sick and most had to be euthanised. This was not discovered until he went to the hospital and the EMT's that picked him up turned him in.

Anyway, this lady is his daughter.

So she shows up this afternoon with another sick puppy. She had given this puppy to a man she had rented her fathers house to. The puppy had eaten part of a house plant and the renters stash of marijuana! The renter called the "lady" and said he was going to take the puppy and have it put down because it kept eating his "stuff". She went and got it and brought it to us.

I have seen a lot of things in my career at the veterinary hospital, but this takes the cake. I called the cops.

The "lady" is not at fault, just not all there.
Anyway for those of you who don't know, I have a son who is a state trooper, so I just called the local office, the seargent answered the phone, I told him what was up and he was over in a few minutes.

He questioned the "lady". She is not at fault in this mess, just ignorant and not very bright.

So, to make a long story short, we gave the puppy some medicine and all prayed it lives through the night. We will have to save pooty samples, or do a necropsy on the puppy for evidence for a animal cruelty case.

The state patrol, notified the city of Kimball, Ne. The local PD is going to go investigate. The state patrol is hoping we can prove the marjiauna was eaten by the puppy. If it can be proved the cruelty to animals charges will carry a bigger fine, sentence, etc. than the posession of marijuana charges. Not to mention the guy who had the puppy has a rap sheet a frickin mile long!

Then, we're going to have to find a place for the puppy if it lives, until this is all over.

I've already decided, if it lives, *crosses fingers* I'll keep it until this mess is sorted out and we can find it a good home.

God bless the rednecks, animal lovers and our local fuzz!
