Hit me in the face with a shovel. Come on Antioch , I like it

A hysterical man called me last Friday. His name is Drew. Claims he got my name from some lady who heard me speak at a Paws for Love function last year and begged me to help him. Drew told me his story in between sobs, which is a hard thing to hear out of a grown man. His dogs, Mary Jane and Mona were at the Antioch, California animal shelter and ( Read more... )

This is EXACTLY why it didn't even occur to me to take the two dogs that wandered up to my work building a couple of years ago (one full pit, the other a pit mix) anywhere except home. I found a good home for the full pit and brought my Brennt home with me. He's a pit/hound mix the vet says but the pit is most prevalent.

I always knew just from driving through it that Antioch sucked. God damnit, I was really hoping for a happy ending for these two :(

This is going to happen again! tiptoy4x October 2 2011, 02:02:22 UTC

My friends dog (a pitbull) has just been deemed a dangerous dog. He bit a neighbors dog (a pitbull) . It left three smalls puncher marks. He does not have the money need to get his dogs life saved. The cost of the fees and things they want done is very high. The dog (Tigger) is a very loving dog. He lives with a Chihuahua (Jack) that runs him. He has never hurt or ever been aggressive towards jack. He is a very loving dog! Not a dangerous one at all! Any help of any kind would be great! Tiptoy4x@aol.com

...wow.

Pardon my French, but fuck those guys. I am so, so, so sorry. I lost a dog like this when I was a kid, and the pain has yet to fade. Can't imagine losing two.

Could you maybe ask Drew if it would be all right for his fellow animal lovers to send him condolences and if so, how?

Can you post Facebook linkage, please? There are lots of things named "In Defense of Animals" there.

Bastards. I don't understand people, I really don't.

Did you find me there - I'm Valerie Talcott Fausone on FB. It's all on my page. BAH what a misery :(

allyra April 28 2010, 19:52:37 UTC

Yep, I sent you a friend request over there.

People suck. They really do.

This story makes me heart-sick. How truly awful! My sincere condolences to Drew. RIP Mary Jane and Mona. :(

Speaking of viral, I hope those animal control fuckers have a slow painful death. No, wait, that’s not what I meant.. er.. um.. speaking of viral...

You should also send this awful story to the Dogster Dog Blog - the Dogster community is very active in dog welfare, fighting injustice, etc. Or I can, with your permission of course.

Oh please post it - I'm not signed up there and that would make me SO HAPPY!

I am still sitting here with rocks in my tummy. What a horrendous day it was.

:(

Thank you my friend! The crazy dog ladies take over the world! Huzzah!

Thanks, I "barked" it to the blog. I'll let you know if/when it's posted so you can follow the replies etc. I hope it helps somehow. Oh, I also just remembered the blogger herself is in Cali, so maybe you and her and your contacts etc. can all join forces and kick animal murder a**.

I don’t think you have to be registered to contact the blog or reply to posts, or even post in the Dogster forums. If it doesn't get posted on the blog within a few days, I'll post it in the Dogster forums with a link back to your entry here.
