Whoa spindrift.. That was deep...
I'm so mad. My friends with tails won't make a mermaid series with me, and they won't even give a reason why. They just say "I don't want to". And I'm 16 so this is like the last year I have to do this. UGH teenagers.

That they don't want to is a perfectly fine reason though. They don't have to and if they don't want to then try not to pressure them too badly. I completely sympathize and understand your irritation with them though, as you just want to share it with them. <3
Yeah that just itbut that's a good point meremma you're right. It's just that they had agreed to it earlier, then refused after getting my hopes up

Oooh. I know how that feels. Though, one of my friends is going to make a series, and now she's sayign I can't be in it, despite the fact that I'M making HER tail. Meh.

Rant time for this mer.
My friend has a dog, a shihtzu poodle mix who's health has slowly been declining ever since him and his parents moved to Milwaukee from Duluth. This dog was the spunkiest, happiest dog I've ever seen in my life. She could sing and dance for you, she loved cuddles, and she loved to go for walks and all that.
They moved to milwaukee because they ran out of money completely, so now they're living in a friend's house while the friend is in china. No money means they can't take their sick dog to the vet. They did it once, she had a liver infection and antibiotics helped her get back on her feet. But now, my friend tells me the dog had what looked like a growth on her genitals, and her anus is swollen similarly. Their solution? take the dog out back and shoot it with a .22. I asked him if she had her anal glands drained recently, as this could be whats causing the swelling. He said she had, which then led me to believe that the area got irritated and is now infected. I plundered around google for a bit and came up with a few tips to help them at least try to solve the issue at home. soak her in an epsom salt bath, give her broccoli, carrots, and chicken, add a spoonful of canned punkin to her food to help soften her stool so she doesn't hold it in, become constipated, and exacerbate the situation, etc. So what does he do? feeds her fish antibiotics and his leftover strep medicine. This is the same guy who decided that it would be better to give his dog rum to get her drunk so it would hurt less pulling out the porcupine quills she got into one day instead of taking her to the vet. Part of me just wants to tell him to just shoot the damn thing to end her suffering because they're clearly not going to fight for her, and the other half of me thinks the dog is perfectly fine and just needs an actual loving home with people who can afford the medicine to help her live. She honestly has a good 5 or 6 years left in her. They've already gotten rid of 2 cats that belonged to the people who's house their staying in. The cat my friends family brought down with them didn't like the owners 2 cats so my friend's parents put one in a shelter and gave the other one away. I absolutely hate them for the way they treat their animals. Could they have enough money to take care of these animals? oh sure. if they didn't spend it on yacht club memberships, booze, and nights out at the pub.
Like I said, I gave my friend plenty of options for home remedies to try and see if he could help at least a little, and his response was "I'll pass along the advice" which in his terms means "Im saying this to get you off my back about this, we're probably just going to try getting her drunk again." I feel like I should call animal services and have them take her away, but she will most likely get put down before finding a new home. Also, if I called animal services on them, they'd know it was me because I'm the only one they told, and they know I'd call animal services on them if it meant their dog might have a chance at a better life.
Tl:dr my friend's family is a load of lazy useless shit who won't go get jobs to take care of their pets. they'd rather give them to shelters/shoot them in the backyard than take them to a vet they can't afford, and they won't take my advice on how to try and help to heart. i want to call animal services, but they'd know it was me, and i don't want the dog to get put down at a shelter waiting for a better family. THESE PEOPLE ARE HOPELESS. pisses me right the fuck off.
Well maybe you should think about if you really want to be friend of such people. You know lots about how's the people by how they care about others, including their pets. I might misunderstanding something but I think they've money and know other better options, such charity vets. They just don't bother about it at all and are given the excuse of money.
Do you really think this people fits with you?

That's just so sad. I consider that to be animal abuse...I've got friends that treat their dogs really badly (in my own opinion of course) and it makes me so damn mad. >_< I don't have any advice though...just...ungh.
They have no money at all. They can barely afford to eat. If they saved up for a few weeks they'd have money for the vet, but they aren't capable of saving up. At all. Also there's no charity vets near them, they sold their car to pay for the first vet visit. They're good people aside from the whole animal cruelty part.
If you can't afford to take care of a pet properly, maybe you shouldn't have one...
I can understand your frustration. I dont know how you can get them involved exactly, but rescue groups often work with animal shelters. My mom in particular will take in poodle mixes if they come in.
If the dog is treatable i bet a rescue group would take her. Of course I'm not sure how you could work that out :/
It doesn't sound to me like their priorities are in the right place. They sold their car to pay for a vet visit, but now they'd rather spend their cash on alcohol than continuing to invest in their pet?
It IS animal abuse. I have a foster dog. My mom and the rescue program went over the whole "what is and isnt animal abuse". What thos epeople did would certainly count as animal abuse or at the very least, neglect.Originally Posted by MerEmma
Oh, and my poor foster dog has cancer. @^@

I am getting more and more annoyed with people who come here and ask obvious questions, rather than taking five minutes to read up and find the answers themselves.

^Gahhh same!!! Not all of the new mers on here do it, but I have seen it quite frequently over the past few weeks. Anyone who is reading this, please look through existing threads before you create a new one! >.<

hahaha you're annoyed with that? I am annoyed with people constantly asking me if I make/sell tails when it says everywhere that I dont, I even put faq links on all my videos as a pop up now, and to even get to the "contact me" part of my website, people have to read it! I get 100's a week and they drive me bonkers @_@
that's the thing, I get people asking on my videos I'LL DO ANYTHING TELL ME HOW TO FIND THE TAAAIL and it's literally SAID in the video, and linked in the video and linked in the description. I just ignore them now, haha. If they really wanna know they can take 2 seconds and read.
Don't you teach reading? That must make it even more annoying for you!
