I can't stand dogs
Anyone who knows me well, and has seen me around dogs, will know that, by and large, they scare the wossnames out of me. I'm not even sure why, I think I was conditioned to think that way from an early age, or something. That said, some dogs I can cope with — generally ones I've been exposed to a lot, and thus feel more comfortable around, or something.
But this entry isn't really about me not getting on with dogs. It's not even about the few dogs I do get on with. It's about a dog that I, for some reason, feel really, really sorry for, and would love to be able to do something to help, having heard about her plight via Carl Ebrey. The poor thing has been underfed by previous owners and, while the rescue place are feeding her up to build up her strength, her malnourished legs basically can't cope, and she needs (expensive) surgery. See Capricon Rescue's site for more info.
I know this sort of thing probably happens a lot, and to people and other animals as well as dogs, and so on, but for some reason this case touched me. Go figure.
