Riviere, you go sister and tell it like it is. Sometimes all we do is spout platitudes which are no help at all. The truth may be painful, but hopefully we learn from hearing it.

I too am so sorry for the loss of your son.

Yeah for the Dogs!!!!!


PENSACOLA, Florida (AP) -- Nice shootin', Rex!

A man who tried to shoot seven puppies was shot himself when one of the dogs put its paw on the revolver's trigger.

Jerry Allen Bradford, 37, was charged with felony animal cruelty, the Escambia County Sheriff's Office said Wednesday. He was being treated at a hospital for a gunshot wound to his wrist.

Bradford said he decided to shoot the 3-month-old shepherd-mix dogs in the head because he couldn't find them a home, according to the sheriff's office.

On Monday, Bradford was holding two puppies -- one in his arms and another in his left hand -- when the dog in his hand wiggled and put its paw on the trigger of the .38-caliber revolver. The gun then discharged, the sheriff's report said.

Deputies found three of the puppies in a shallow grave outside Bradford's home, said sheriff's Sgt. Ted Roy.

The other four appeared to be in good health and were taken by Escambia County Animal Control, which planned to make them available for adoption.

I'll never understand the mentality of people killing domestic furbabies like they are excessive and/or unwanted farm animals.

All it takes to stop producing unwanted puppies it to get his dog spayed or neutered. It costs about $40 bucks and you don't have to shoot puppies in the head - so simple!

Mocha, for future reference, if you call local animal welfare places, (shelters, rescue groups, humane societies) they can direct you to places that will spay/neuter for far less-anywhere from $25 to $40. My local vet would charge 200-$300. SO it is well worth the time to do some investigating. Also, February is usually a free spay/neuter month--at least up here.

There is lots of information you can access via petfinder.org

Yep-our county always has a free spay/neuter day as well. I just joined the Banfield plan with Petsmart-it cost $20 a month, but I can take Buddy in as often as needed and get all his shots-also neutering will be free-all for the $20 a month, that's it. Seems like a good deal to me. They were really nice to me today as well-they said I can stop by whenever and they will cut his nails for me...also he has worms so they gave him his pills and said I can come back in in 3 weeks and they will give him the next round. It is only a block from my house so I have a feeling they will be seeing a lot of me!

Julieboo, for future reference, they have those programs but here but you have to live in a certain area. Do you really think I wanted to pay that much and not research it? :-)

You can check this site out if you ever need to spay or neuter in the future.

Kool beans I'll bookmark it. Yes I like saying kool beans too lol.

Odd thing is that the local spca has a spay/neuter van that goes to diff locations and they will give the animals the basic shots and spay/neuter for about $25 but you have to be a city resident and show proof. I'm not a city resident and most of my friends aren't either.

How strange. And stupid, cuz the point is to get as many dogs and cats spayed/neutered as possible. High five to you for being responsible, even though you had to pay a high price for it.

Just got some film back and have a couple pics of Herc doing his thing where I let him run.

Herc

This is the woodsy part of Wooster Cemetery. Herc is headed down the path where we've spotted skunks, deer and foxes!

Herc is smiling. See that tongue? Hot, tired and happy.

Hi everyone. I love to see pictures of everyone's dogs. They are all so cute! I wanted to share a picture of my dog Speck. I hope I can do this right. I have never posted a picture before.

Yesterday we got to petsit my ds' dogs, Lena and Opie. Lena is 2 yr. old, brown and part JRT and mini doberman pincer. Opie is a 1 yo part mini terrier, chihuahua and some other miniature short hair and is black and white with brown spots and about the size of Speck. They were so much fun!

Aw-sweet tooth-look at your little trouble maker, what a cutie!

It is so funny-I grew up with a dog in our home my entire childhood. When I moved out I always lived in places where animals were not allowed until our recent purchase of our home. Having Buddy has made me question how I ever made it the past 9 years without a dog in my life! He has just added so much joy, laughter and love to this home. Sure, he is a handful sometimes being a puppy and all, but I have only had him 2 weeks and already I couldn't live without him!

Aww thank ya'll for saying my baby is cute! He is half rat terrier and half yorkie and almost a year old. We got him from a shelter last November. You're right sillycalimomma, he is a trouble maker! Here is another picture of him.

I love the sweet, goofy looking kind of dogs that come from mixing purebreds. Your doggy is a doozy. First class different!
