I am reading all this to DH and he thinks the reason the neighbor won't let anyone in without a warrant is so he can sneak the dogs away. If so I would think you could get the neighbors to vouch for them having the dogs. Also alot of dog fighting is tied up with drugs so he probably has alot of evidence to get rid of. Did you notice alot of activity over there last nite?

Sun, thinking of you and hoping you have an ok and productive day. I am so sorry to hear the news about BJ. I am happy you have been able to talk to your family. Your two new ones are probably keeping you quite busy. I am so glad you have them.

Christiii, (that was as close as I could find to a face slapping DUH!!!) Of course I will call him Bo. I am da BO Lady! I rescued a little kitten about a year ago and named "him" Bo, my sister saw "him" and fell in love with "him", took a closer look and "she" is now named Bon Bon. (the kitten, not my sister, lol) Living the good life with my sister. I think I may go with the more sophisticated Beaumont. Thanks. But I am also going to follow CDBGA's link cause I do like the seal name idea too. I haven't heard from AC yet this morning. I haven't seen any unusual activity at the dog house, it's been very quite. Don't know if the guy has anything to hide or not, no signs of any drug activity at that house. Both of the dogs are lying on my feet. The night went wonderfully. Puppy didn't cry one bit. He cuddled really tightly up to me and slept all night. Got both of them out in time this morning for pottie, YEA! I go back to work tomorrow. That is going to be hard. I'll have to leave the dogs in the house. First thing baby puppy had in his mouth when he got here, was my phone cord. So today, I have to get all cords up and out of reach, find some chew toys, figure out how to barracade the entry to my kitchen to keep them on the lineolium,(sp) no furniture to chew, etc. I'll toss in a couple of fluffy towels. Oh, and some newspaper. Any other suggestions? I'm having a kinda delayed reaction day today, am feeling really sad and really pissed off. I've been fluctuating with the idea of selling my property for several months, heck, almost since I bought it 4 years ago. With my family now moving away, I would have the other house as a rental, and that might be good, but it has become crystal clear to me that this place is just to much for me, by myself. 2 houses and 5 acres to try to keep up with, I just can't do it. Maybe I'll try a renter for a little while, see if they would be helpful in keeping the place up. But if not, I am definately going to sell. After what happened to the dogs, I feel like I could just walk away from this place right now and never look back. But I suppose I have to try to be sensible. So that's all the news for today. I'll let you all know when I hear more from AC. Thank you again for everything.

ooh Sun...what a pic! tho its not looking too good for the little guy with all those hunters in the background...maybe those are not hunters but activists....lets all think happy thoughts! That pic looks just like my Beau would have as a baby Im sure!! (thats the drawback of being a rescue..no baby pics), since he pretty much looks like that now, at almost 5~ I just spoke to him, and he would be truly honored if you do decide to choose his as a namesake...he is looking forward to being an uncle!! Im so happy that everyone seems to be settling in well....that is awesome!!

Oh Yeah, one more thing.. These pooches have taken to chewing things when we're gone. For the most part, it's paper towels in reach, or papers we don't need. Then it was a couple CDs that weren't really a big deal. Well, last week, they chewed my new pair of cheap flip flops up. Yeah, they were cheap, but it made me mad. NOW, today they chewed on a remote, making it unusable. We got some No Chew spray, which has been sprayed on the rest of the remotes, but does anyone have any other suggestions? My guess is that this remote was on the floor this morning but we try to keep things off the floor. I leave toys and chews out for them, so it's just baffling us.

It is called separation anxiety. You just have to confine them in a space where they can't get ahold of anything. Sophie had that problem and when the vet cleaned out her stomach he found a bobbin, several unidentifiable plastic objects and a suction cup. We just ended up taking her with us every where or not going if she couldn't wait in the car.

Ha, My dogs name is chewy, well deserved..I came home from work one day when she was a pup, and the whole arm of my couch was chewed to the frame..my daughters backpack and a pair of her shoes... thankgod I can sew - I cut fabric from the bottom of the couch(to match) and did a pritty good job of repairing it...but I also went out and bought a nice crate for the rest of her puppy daze while I wasnt in the house...she is 10 now and never chews any thing but her chew toys...My daughter said that when we walked in the house that day to the chew'd couch.. she never saw that look on my face ever and said she wasnt sure we were going to even still have a puppy.... well time heals all... and she is still here. the stuff we put up with..huh.

Sun I was very sorry to read of your loss, my heart ached for you. I know all pits are not created equal but part of me is so thrilled they are banned here and those existing must be fixed. They are such an intimadating breed. I hope your boys can help ease your pain. I wanted to comment on your one pups problem. My mother had one of her Cairns with an anal gland problem and she had him sit in a warm sink full of water and epsom salts, he apparently loved it and it helped soften things up and eased his discomfort. On to the bullies, it is my understand it's not the whole darn thing but a tendon in it. (not that it matters, lol)

I try to keep up on all the threads in this area--I may not post very often but I do keep up. Work keeps me busy, softball has kept me VERY busy, and now BB is keeping me busy on the board. But I have one that I want to share. Not because I am looking for anyone to contribute. I am going to contribute because it's right here in my community. I am saddened and angered by what humans do to animals. Yet, there are humans willing to do something to fix the wrongs. So I want to thank the people who are involved in fixing what I'm about to show you. dog#1 dog#2 and dog#1 together

I imagine the souls of the people who brought these poor sweet things to this sad state are a lot more diseased than the puppies.

I haven't posted because NOTHING has happened. AC has been trying to get the dogs since Monday, but they and owners are gone. I called George today and he said that they are really on it, that a plan is in place, but he can't tell me anything about it. Then when I got home from work tonight, there was a message from the head of AC expressing her sympathy (and she really sounded very sincere, sounded really sad) and assured me that there is something in the works and the problem will be permanently solved. The owners have a court date on the 24th because of prior stuff. As the killing of my dogs violated the conditions under which the court order allowe them to remain free and have their dogs back home, I'm assuming that if they don't get them before the 24th (the people) they will be arrested when they show up for court. Today has been a really bad day. Hankies ready: Everyday when I came home from work, as soon as I opened the gate, my Son-in-Law would let Cedar out the front door. (Cedar stayed down there in the Kennel while I was at work so he could play with the other dogs) So anyway, as soon as they heard my car come thru the gate, Alan would let Cedar out, and Cedar would race me to my house. His little legs were only about 3-4 inches tall, and he had long hair on his long body, so I would watch him run thru the yard, his little legs going as fast as they could and his hair/fur, blowing in the breeze he created by running so fast. He usually beat me. I'd open the car door, he would jump in, yelping his greeting to me, jumping like crazy, we'd stay in the car for a couple of minutes and then we would race to the front porch. This evening when I pulled into the driveway, I could literally see him, running, racing me to our house. The image was so clear in my mind. But of course he wasn't really there and never will be again. Then I looked at the terribly constructed temporary fencing we had errected around my house when Otter suddenly went blind in April. We used pallets, old doors and anything we could find to make barriers so she could come to my house and not wander off. Most of those things are still in place. And I thought of her, blind and defenseless, she had found her way into that yucky enclosure we built, and that is where they killed her. The strong and escapeproof Kennel we had built at the lower house seemed safe, but the pits rammed and rammed the gate till they popped the latch, somehow, and my dogs all ran to escape, but none of them did. But the whole day was a really bad one, today. Probably still delayed reaction. Even tho I cried, uncontrollably for the first day and a half, now it's the memories of the good times that are getting me. There are a lot of other things that have gone horribly wrong with my world in the past year, I don't want to talk about them, but now, with this, there was a time today that I actually did wonder if a person could live thru this much pain. There is no light at the end of the tunnel. I'm a very rational person, so I don't want to be freaking anyone out here, but I just don't know how my life is going to be from now on. If I hadn't had these two babies to come home to tonight, I don't know how I could have stood it. And boy oh boy, do they sense my mood, they are so subdued and staying wrapped around me feet. When I first got here, they were just jumping and talking to me, and I was hugging them and playing with them, trying to act like nothing was wrong, but they totally sensed it, and got real quiet. I keep reflecting on Saturday morning when George put Cedar and Otter in his vehicle, and drove them over to the pit bull's owner's house and forced him to come and look at them. And he said, "WHY SHOULD I GO LOOK AT THOSE DOGS?" and George said, "because if you can look at what your dogs did to those dogs and not feel sick, then you deserve to go to jail." Well, I guess what he felt was that he would take those killer dogs someplace else and hide them and himself. So somewhere, those dogs are alive and will kill again. They take down anything. They attacked a horse, dogs, and cats. A lot of people around here want to shoot the dogs. I have a problem with that. Well, first, now no one knows where they are, but besides that, there are 3 children in the house where those dogs live, God forbid someone tries to shoot the dogs and a stray bullet goes into the house. Second, shooting the dogs will get the shooter put in jail. Third, I couldn't bear it to think of any animal being shot and suffering, they are dogs who have gone haywire, need to be humanely put down. If I could save those pit bulls and make them into nice animals I would, cause that's just the way my brain works. Ok, I've gone on way too long. Thanks for listening, again.

I can't believe they would keep those dogs in the house with their children after all they've killed. {{Sun}} I'm sure there will be many days of missing Cedar. Wish that I could give you a big hug.
