I'm angry and scared. Wanted to mention this earlier, but had a bit of a meltdown and didn't want to start bawling again. We've been under a wind chill advisory/warning (-30 to -50 below zero with wind chill). The next door neighbor's dog lives outside...she has a shed and that's pretty much all that is legally required by law for shelter. I love her so much. I buy her treats and food and pet her through the fence. Can't sleep at night when it's brutal outside like this - all I do is worry about her and pray, pleading with God to protect her and keep her warm enough (and alive).
I contacted her owner again today. Told her I was very concerned because of the brutal weather. Was extremely polite and courteous (which took everything in me to muster) and asked her once again if she would reconsider selling Dacotah to me. She said no. I offered her $300 in cash (money I came up with for my mom's lot rent). She said no. The only reason she's saying no is because she knows how much I love that dog. She never interacts or cares for her dog, but just doesn't want me to have her. I even offered to help out with Dacotah in any way if she ever needs help, to do anything at all because I love her. Told her if she ever reconsiders, to let me know. I don't understand how someone can be so cruel, to refuse to let an animal have a home, love, shelter. To make her live outside and refuse a lot of money out of selfishness and spite.
Please pray for Dacotah. I'm bawling again, but there's NOTHING I can do for her, my heart is breaking.
