We had a horrible evening yesterday.
I was at my son's house and my daughter called my cell phone.
I didnt get to it in time so I called her right back.
She could barely talk.
Something about her dog Manson being dead!
He is a black american pit bull and was the biggest baby.
I told her hang on, I will be RIGHT THERE!!
My son came with me and we raced to her house.
She had offered to work yesterday for some overtime and when her husband picked her up he had left the dog outside on a long chain that they have set up in their backyard. He worked on her Dad's car and then they ate dinner at his Mom's and headed home well before dark. It was approx. 6pm.
They got home and he had once again gotten off his chain. This was a recurring problem and they revised the way they set things up over and over trying to avoid him getting loose. He was an escape artist.
One evening I took them somewhere and when we came back he was gone and we had to scour the neighborhood looking for him but eventually found him and he was mildly punished.(made to go to the basement for a short while)
Anyway, they got home, he was gone. Jenny went walking to look and Shawn took the car.
Shawn found him. He was laying on the side of the busy cross street. (Washington Ave) He stopped the car and went to him and could see he was already dead. He put him in the backseat and found Jenny walking and took them both home. Jenny was hysterical!! From what she said Shawn wasn't much better before we got there. Someone had hit him recently and left him there.
They loved this dog like a child. They haven't been able to get pregnant yet and this was their baby. He was about 4 or so and Shawn has had him since he was a pup.
So my son and Shawn dug a deep hole and wrapped him in a blanket he used to lay on and buried him. It was soooo Sad. Jenny was bawling inside saying "don't bury my dog!!"
I have looked on Petfinder and all the local shelters online to find another dog for her. She will probably not be ready to go back to work tomorrow so I will take her to find a new dog if she is ready. I think it will help her. She needs another dog to love. I will not rush her if she is not ready.
It's so hard to see my baby that tore to pieces!
