This is Cassie. She used to be my dog. We rescued her from a shelter, but she's very inbred and has a lot of health problems. Once I graduated from college and moved to the concrete jungle, my parents took her because a) they live in the country and dogs like to be able to feel grass on their ass and b) as a broke, recent graduate, I couldn't afford to take care of her the way my parents could.
She's gained weight and gotten more sickly since she stopped living with me two years ago. She gets tired very easily and has to be coaxed into eating. I'm pet-sitting for the week while my parents are on vacation, and now Cassie is so nervous that she won't eat or drink. It's been a day and a half and I've only been able to get some water and a bite of my leftover scrambled eggs in her.
I'm starting to get worried. Dog food, cat food, peanut butter, nothing's working.
