They’d been trying for five minutes to reach me and I rapidly called one of them back. Kids were at the emergency vet and Kid was covered in blood while holding an unresponsive chihuahua in her arms

I don’t know what happened but Cobie (the chihuahua) needed help and the vet wanted 600 dollars for operation

Cripes

whose chihuahua is it?

Boyfriend’s. He adores this dog

Oh man

oh no

poor doggo poor kiddos

Oh Jesus

Share if they need to do a gfm or something?

Smart of them to keep texting me so I’d wake up from the buzzing but Jesus

Or if there's somewhere to send things to. ...not that I have anything but I know people who might

Jesus Christ, okay. I think he’s in surgery now, kid just sent me this , cw: blood

yeah I call and get that image imma panic

Oh Jesus

It might be a bite idk? There’s another dog in the house so he might have gotten into it

But he’s a chihuahua so not a lot of blood to begin with

Yeah

But I have weird hope for that because the surgery was “only” 600 - means that they don’t need to do x rays

That plus bright red blood tells me that it didn’t look internal or that he got hit by a car or something- she said he “got worse suddenly” so I am wondering if he tried to tangle with something else

researchboner: thanks - they had 300 and needed me to make up the other 300 - I appreciate it, we got it <3

oh no, poor little rat doggy

Also, holy shit, I'd have panicked SO HARD if Ii'd gotten that

hope the surgery goes well

Yeah I’m feeling that Mom Guilt for falling asleep without turning my phone off silent but I think he’ll be okay . God. Poor dog/kids.

oh dang. hopefully doggo is fine, glad the kids are. don't beat yourself up too much, it wasnt unreasonable to fall asleep with your phone muted, and you also kept vibration on.

oh man, poor pup, I hope everything will be okay!! I'm glad that the kiddo isn't hurt, that picture would have terrified me too

oh lord

I would also like to point out the win of the situation, which might not immediately come to mind but should be recognized: kiddo did reach out to you immediately

that is all by itself a mini triumph of your momming

afaik

since I've never been a foster myself, but from what I know a lot are very, very independent and would not automatically/possibly at all reach out to foster parents in a crisis

heck man, teenagers just generally will not always do that, let alone kids who have not always had a stable family situation

absolutely

so yeah. take that as a sign that you're doing something right.

poor pup and poor kids. i hope they're all okay.

DOGGO IS OKAY

Yay! That must be such a relief for the kids.

amsdflk the way hes being held like hes trying to hide his identity

what a good scraggle! and oh lord that must have been terrifying for all concerned.

oh GOOD

awww, yay. Poor tiny pup

poor bb

I'm so glad the pup is okay!

that's a lot of blood from an animal that doesn't have much to begin with!

from Kid’s facebook- I’d say dog is gonna be fine, looks suuuuper drugged

oh no puppy

oh my goodness, that face. SO stoned XD
