RIP Sally

So Sally Goat was attacked by the neighboor's dogs a couple weeks ago. They decided to go on vacation and just leave their animals with no one to feed them and the two that perminatly live in the back yard-no matter what rain snow (ok so it doesn't snow here) extream heat whatever, they stay out side-decided they were too hungry to stay in the botched up fence they have and got out to eat my goat. They didn't leave her dead, oh no...they just ripped off her damn leg. So we got that all fixed up or whatever, and then yesterday something attacked her again. Couldn't have been anything too big, but it was enough to reopen her stub, and cause her more pain. Being that we couldn't afford any more vet bills nor can we stand to see her suffer...we put her down-or should I say Brian put her down. God, I feel so cold about it, but we really had no other choice. We are going to have to get rid of the goats next month before we leave and I'm sure no one else would want to deal with a three legged goat and would probably end up killing her as well. At least in this case she was taken out humanly. We have a place for Sandler where he will be treated like a pet as he is used to being treated now, so thank goodness for that...but we know Sally would have been put down either way so instead of having her suffer we just went ahead and took care of it. I was so upset, the kids don't really get it just yet, but they are young still.
The neighboors don't give a shit, they actually were able to get their dog's back from the Animal Control, who we called and had to wait three days then call 911 to actually get them to come out after one of the dog's attacked the sherrif that came out. In the mean time I fed them some of my dog food to keep them at bay, they even tried to attack me while I was feeding them....I feel sorry for the dogs, really I do. Those people really should have not been able to get them back, and should have been fined for neglecting their animals. It's reidculas. There is a leash law here-and I know when we lived in JAX, if your dog was caught running around and you wanted it back you'd have to pay a fine to get it back, if it attacked something/one you'd have to pay the fine and NOT get it back. That's how it should be here too. Well, Sally Dear, we'll miss you dearly-but you lead a good life until the end...you were treated like a family member, and we all loved you so!
