I failed.
I had a few chances to get James (the dog) a good home fith friends and family...
But none panned out.
It was close though...he spent last night at the home of one of my sister's close friends. That family had lost a dog to snakebite recently, and were the last chance...but the dog was too good at jumping fences and they couldn't keep it.
I would have, but same problem (except most of our fences are waist high) and there's no way i could keep a boarder collie here...it'd need to be chained up most of the time, which is not acceptable for an energetic dog.
What i didn't expect was the family who had the dog last night would take it to the RSPCA themselves. It turns out my folks called them and told them to do that rather than bring James back here.
"bastards!" they had no right to interfere...but they were so hell bent on stopping the dog from being here. They made the few days i had the dog into a nightmare...way more trouble than it should have been. And now this?...those fucking jerks...
well, i was out of options for homes for James anyway...and he's so nice and friendly and adorable he's sure to get adopted from the RSPCA...
So i guess it's a good outcome, the best possible, and i tried all the options and people i could think of...
but that betrayal (it feels that way) from my family...damnit but that's made up my mind on the "should i move out asap (with any non-centerlink wage) or stay and build up some savings" question...i'm so gone from this place when i get half a chance...
I'm sick of anything i do that involves interests and people outside my family being fiercly opposed...it's gone too far now...protests, complaints and arguments are one thing...but deliberate interference, betrayal and sabotage of my relationships to friends and of my buisness...that's WAY over the line.
Worst part? I promised Scamps i'd get the dog a home...and the backstab stopped me keeping that promise. Hell, any mook could have gotten the dog to the rspca, damnit! I wanted to do better than that...
It was such a great dog...it deserved better.
Current mood: Sad, disapointed and FURIOUS WITH OUTRAGE!
Current music: None
