This is by far the longest post I've ever written but it is in hopes this story isn't repeated.
I don't want to cause a panic but we lost our dog and even still with Rocket, attempts are still made to silence him.
Some time back in 2017 we adopted a dog, irish terrier, german shephard and half boarder collie mix. He morphed into 4 different dogs until his final german shephard look, thankfully.
About 6 mth old, he seemed lethargic from time to time. Occasionally I'd find food of some kind in the yard, pizza, bread, dog food... At about 1-1/2 yr his lymph nodes began to swell and harden. After tests showed lymphoma, we decided to try treatment from which he responded well and seemed to be back to his old self. A couple weeks later he began to drag around, droop his head and wobble. Being late Friday and just showing a bit of this we waited for the vet to open Monday. By Saturday he was wobbling his head. By Sunday eve he was barely able to walk and by Monday he was incapacitated. Monday afternoon we said our goodbyes.
Now, this was the thing. Ours is not the first dog lost to cancer but in this neighborhood almost everyone has lost thier dog to cancer in the last 5 years.
Now that he was gone, food kept coming over the fence and all of it with the same odd oil soaked odor. It took me a while until I saw a tv commercial, when a light went on and I compared my saved samples with a bottle of 60% concentrate RoundUp. Now I believe RoundUp is a good product and safe when used with safety precautions as all herbicides and pesticides should. But, by my estimates, he was injesting from 2-5 gallons worth of mixed chemical per day most of his life. Before he passed his eyes were highly dialated, called moon eyes. I've seen the same from glycol poisoning. Now every time our dog goes outside, he wears a soft muzzle lined in screen so his tongue can only lick his nose. Their response was some sort of dark flakes of putred stench dripped onto a nonstick surface and peeled away. Still too small to pass through the mesh and having the disadvantage of having to stand at the fence to toss it over, they have ceased this. I only assume they reserve practice with this against law enforcement k-9s.
I never dreamed anyone could be so cruel to such a loving creature as our service dog was for the sake of unnoticed passage. But then again, concider the character.
A day late and a dollar short my mom would say.
