when my step kids mom told me she was getting them a guinea pig i knew right away it would either be dead or be in my care within 3 months.

i gave her oxbow hay & other hay i had around and printed out care sheets, gave her left over oxbow food from the texas rescue and generally tried to help.

she has been in the hospital for a week. she goes into the emergency room because she has no health insurance, no job, no car, no money because they cant refuse her. she does this once or twice a month. she has bleeding due to a poorly done gastric bypass and they cant operate unless it happens while she is admitted from the emergency room.

so today i ask her about the guinea pig and she says she has no idea if anyone is taking care of her, she "probably" has food but she doesnt know and that it is the last thing on anyone's mind. i i offered to take her for the weekend...........

why do people like this have pets?

this is not the first time she has neglected an animal.

you all dont have to respond, i just needed to type it out and get it off my chest. thanks for listening.
 
Yeah we just got temporary custody of my one step son....and after my fiance stopped by to get the. GP & her supplies it appears that we may need to call dyfs for the other son. He said the living conditions were deplorable. The GP had NO water. None! All the foodwas gone. No hay & the bedding is urine soaked. She shuld be here in a few minutes.
 
I' sorry to hear that. Do you think that maybe the son that has come to live with you might be missing his little piglet by now(hint, hint)? As far as the "rant", in this situation, I'm afraid I'd have to rant or blow up!
