Call the shelter on your on mother? I decided to drive to TN to see my mother for the first time in a year yesterday. And I was absolutely disgusted at what I found a dog she got when I was 15 so skinny that her bones showed, and she used to be fat, and so week she had a hard time walking and her back was missing patches of hair, and looked as if she had been laying in her own waste. Her dachund whom she has had for almost as long is black and her skin is in such bad shape I could feel it and I could see the fleas crawling on her. She has two other dogs who other than fleas didn't look too bad. Her other dog never came out. Apparently he has accidents and there was not a spot on the carpet that didn't have a wet spot. She has atleast 10 cats all covered in fleas all friendly cause she does love on them she just doesn't see to them. The carpets looked like they needed to be ripped up. It smelled so bad it made my nose and eyes burn and today I am sick from it. The walls felt filmy from the amonia.
She had two rabbits in cages outside but the cages were sitting on the ground and were not covered or anything but she might bring them in at night. She has four birds but they are upstairs and its not as bad up there. Her couch used to be a light tan but is so nasty its almost black.
And I honestly don't know how to handle this. Well I do but its my mother and it hurts. She actually asked me to take the cats and drop them. I told her I would take them to a shelter and she said they will be put to sleep and I said well there are worse things than dying. She said atleast if they were dropped they stood a chance. And I cannot understand that logic.
I was scared to come home due to that I was scared I would bring some disease home with me on my feet. I need some major vibes I know what I have to do but it is not easy.
But I was just wondering how you would handle this?
