Ask Me Help Desk - Our poor Starby

Dear Ducky,

Oh Lawrd! This is horrible you breaking your leg; especially since I chopped the other one off last week. :(

Best wishes :),

Hey Starby, be sure to heal fast. We miss you so much on here... :( I never thought that the accident was so serious. I'm sure we'll find a solution for Niki, so don't too much worry about her for the time being, and think of healing quickly. You were the first one to welcome me when I entered your famous threads... Come back soon, okay?

Best wishes of recovery,
Unky

Oh that's terrible news! Please tell her I hope she gets well soon. I sure hope someone can go check on her dog for her. Maybe you could contact the social services department of the hosptial and ask if a hospital volunteer could possibly go out to her home to feed the dog.

Hi Starby, Hope your feeling better and Niki is OK!

You'll be missed :D

Hey Starby! I hope you have a TV there so you can watch your hubby sing! If not, I hope you get well soon! =P

Hope all is well very soon.

THANKS!!!!!! I have ALL these email jokes...who the H*LL am I going to send them too? Do you have any ideeee how frustrating this can be?????? Give me the email address at your hospital...K????

Actually, I am thinking of you, this place is really empty without the featherless, one legged quacker...

Get well sweetheart.

UPDATE:

I just got a call from Starby's friend. Starby is in rough shape, will probably be in the hospital for a month, possibly more. This is going to be a slow recovery, she will be needing help when she gets to come home.

Her friend is contacting Starby's family, telling them that they are going to have to pitch in, suck it up, she needs them now.

Niki is still at home, Starby's friend goes every morning to feed her, give her water, let her outside for a romp and bathroom break. Niki is not happy, she's never been alone before, but the friend cannot take her back to her house.

Starby's friend has been trying to get in touch with Starby's brother to tell him he has to take Niki until Starby comes back home. So far no luck, but Niki is getting the basics so no worries.

Starby's friend now has my email address and she promised to keep me posted on any new developments. As soon as I hear something, you'll hear it too. :)

That's it for now.

Ya, this is a bad situation. Starby really doesn't have anyone, only her one friend and a family that is less then helpful.

I'm going to talk to hubby, see if he would mind having Niki come stay with us. Starby's brother sometimes comes to Edmonton, if he would be willing to bring Niki up with him then I'll keep her here until Starby can take care of her again.

I could get in huge trouble if I do this, but I think I can juggle it. You see, where I live, you're only legally allowed 2 dogs, you need a special license to have more. Well, shhh, don't tell anyone, but I have 3 dogs, no special license. If I take in Niki that's 4 dogs. If someone complained, I could have all my dogs and Niki taken away from me.

I have to think this through. :(

Certainly is something to think through.
Wouldn't it be nice to be rich so you could just help people anytime they needed it?

It sure would be nice.

If I had the money and a sitter, I'd be by her side right now. Sadly I have neither, just can't do it.

I just wish her family would step it up and take care of this. That's what family is for after all. It just makes me mad, I want to bust some heads. :(

Sorry, angry Alty is rearing her ugly head. ;)

Sorry HC, no room number.

I hope you can catch it in time.

Just get the delivery guy to ask at the front desk, they'll direct him to her room. :)

You're such a sweetie! :)
