BUTCH news!!!!

Butch is on a path to healing!!!!

when i went to see Butch yesterday, he did something that he has never done. he covered me with kisses. he licked my face, my glasses, my ears, my hair, my neck.....he went nuts.....we all decided that he somehow sensed that the tension was gone from us and he was going to be okay...........we never had much close contact when he was in his pen next door......

What a wonderful ending!! You made a huge difference in his life that is for sure. So glad you got to see him and interact like that. Makes the world a better place.

That is awesome news!!!

((((((((((((((((((((((((BUTCH))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))

((((((( Pat & Butch ))))))))

You must feel wonderful to know you were able to save these dogs from certain terrible injuries and deaths. Such a shame that 2 of them are too aggressive to be adopted out. Unfortunately they will pay the price for some peoples' ignorant and assinine and disgusting ways.

I'm so proud to know a person who has the gumption to stand up to these people for what is right and just!

Way to go Pat!

i had a long, long talk with the control officer about the two that can't be adopted out. i explained that they didn't have a quality of life that gave them any chance of making it outside of a cage.

they were chained, tortured, teased, harrassed, abused every day of their lives in one way or another.

releasing them from the mental anguish that has built up in their hearts is such a gift for them. it's the ultimate gift for souls that are so tortured.anyone who would have adopted them would have fought them and bred them........we need no more of that and they didn't deserve to be allowed to be used that way.....they're at Rainbow Bridge now......and happy..........xoxoxo pat

If I ever need an animal rights advocate, I'm calling you!!!

AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!

Good job!

i forgot one detail about the court testimony ordeal.

when the owner got there, the reception room was full. he had a big, thick file of papers in his hand.....he thought that his wife's family had come to testify for him and he was shaking hands and thanking them. they were just sorta polite.......we all sat there for about 45 minutes....

when we went in, all of Butch's people sat on one side and there sat Wayne........one person......he had NO witnesses to say that he was a good dog owner. no one. nada. he was in shock. you should have seen his face when he realized that he was at that table alone. i wanted to do a cartwheel.

he didn't even know that the lawyer was going to cross examine him. and i won't go into the pictures/evidence......but every time the lawyer flashed one in front of his face he would say "and you testified that you loved this dog like one of your children, didn't you?"........

ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh, some days you just have to love those lawyers. and the best part is that he kept my neighbor from getting even ONE of them back.........

i'm slowly destressing. slowly. this consumed my life for 8 months. i saw stuff that i've never seen before........"shudder"......

knowing i could here was my lifesaver............xoxoxo

way to go pat!!!!!!!! You are awesome!!!!!!

Brava, Pat. Brava! This has surely secured your place in heaven when you cross the rainbow bridge.

Hooray for Pat! and Hooray for Butch!

All the pets you ever had and those you have now and those you're going to have are nodding their heads-- saying-- "See, I told you she was an awesome human!"

I'm so sorry there were some victims that couldn't be helped though-- it breaks my heart what some awful humans can do to some four legged angel-spirits.

mandy

I am very moved! Your pride and the feeling within your heart is your gift. As well as Butch's love for you.

Pat, I am truly happy that this had a good outcome!

I am so utterly grateful my 2 babies will never suffer the way Butch did.

okay.....you may grin over this. i just saw some man out in their yard, chaining Butch's doghouse to the yardgate.......let's do the math. i weigh 110lbs, the house weighs about 300lb.....aren't you just scared to death that i'm going to steal it today???????? and would they RECOGNIZE it in my NEXT DOOR yard? ANd it's such a NICE doghouse....i'm sure all of PC would love to have it for their dogs..........

at least i'm grinning a little bit now......xoxox pat

Good Grief! Are they obsessed with chaining?! Maybe still in shock!

That is a hoot, Pat.

Makes me thing about their actions.... Dumb and Dumber!

I hope you continue to destress and enjoy your success!

the neighbor's spun an entirely different story to the landlord (he saw the dogs but denies he ever saw abuse) and i'm the villian. i handed him the court order and he refused to read it.

the woman said to him, "we're dying to stay here in the house but she has made our life miserable and we're going to have to move to get away from her"........she's been saying since i moved in here that they were moving as soon as their lease was up and even talked about breaking the lease. (they couldn't even pay their utilities last year and had them cut off twice and their phone)

so, the landlord is mad at me.......and i'm hurting. i did the right thing and he believes that due to me, and only me, they lost all of their precious beloved baby dogs!.............and he's losing tenants..............arrggggggggggghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.

((((((((((fayerody)))))))))

thanks, pilatus.......it's so simple.

1. they abused their dogs
2. i asked them not to
3. they continued to abuse the dogs
4. someone else turned them in to the city dog shelter
5. they fought their dogs.
6. i turned them in.
7. they lost all of their dogs
8. it's not THEIR fault........no wonder the world is so bleeped up. kids that grow up seeing their families live like that???????
i'm just sick about this........

we're very sorry you're hurting so much. you've been quite the animal angel for butch and his family. snuggle up with some animal love within your own home and tank up on their affection and love fuel.

angry landlord who can't see beyond his own nose has lessons in his future that will most likely be painful yet ultimately will show positive growth and change.

this is one lesson that we hang onto as when the turkeys get us down we have to remember that they too are human beings in work and maybe their progress was stalled or stunted when they were young......or maybe he drank windex!

loves to ya snookums

was the windex blue?

green for st. patty's day

well, just so the Rhodes Scholar gets it right and drinks a lot of it......... meanwhile the wagons have circled and several people will be here when he comes over next Tuesday night.........to "talk" to him..........(two neighbors, the priest, two church maintenance men, Robert and my daughter) all witnesses to what went on.

i asked him if it would be okay if the woman stood in the drive way and called his wife, who is wonderful, a MFing BH?????????, he was properly horrified and said, " of course not"......i said, "okay, then next time it happens you and the cops get a phone call at the same time"..........

nice stuff his wife yells out. let's see if he follows through w/ his phone call if she pulls this stunt again......how many more days until April? or is lease end of April? siiiiiiiiiiigh.

head high, stay safe and don't let these nitwits get you down.

People who do wrong often blame the person who calls attention to it. That stops most ppl from persuing the issue. Glad you're holding the fort!
