Losing a Life

You know how this works.  Click here, come back and read while you read.

When we adopt a pet it is for life.....or it should be.  Too many animals are abandoned because they are "too old" or "no longer cute."  Imagine how we would feel if that happened to us? We all get old.  
So many breeds are "adopted" for bait dogs.  They are promised love and shown terror, pain and suffering.

So many animals are euthanized every year because of US.  WE are the problem.  We are not doing the right thing by stepping up and changing what we see.  We drive by the homeless dog on the street.  

We walk by the kitten crying for her mother behind the office building. 

We think that it is "not our problem."  

If it isn't OUR problem...than who's is it?

If we aren't part of the solution than we are part of the problem!

So much love get's "put down" every day!!  So much love get's abandoned.  So much love is tossed.  So much love is abused EVERY SECOND OF EVERY DAY!!

"You came and picked me up from the shelter. You said you would love me forever.  You misread my love for you...you thought it was like yours. But when you abused me my love was not like yours....

I still loved you."

"Each time you abused me.....I still loved you.  Each time you neglected me....I still loved you.  Each time you "forgot" to feed  me..... I still loved you.  

Each time you kicked me.....and when you left me to die.....I STILL LOVED YOU."



"You promised me that you would love me forever...not until you had a baby.  You promised me that you would love me forever...not until you realized I needed attention."

YOU PROMISED!!

"Now I am sitting in a cold shelter afraid to love anyone else....but I still love you.

That long hallway, it scares me.  I see others go down that hallway, I hear the crying and I never see them again.  

And I sit here, being scared, while everyone passes me and moves on....I still love you."

YOU PROMISED!!

I feel the sun going down.  I no longer see it or "feel" it but I know my sun is going down.  I remember the sun.  I remember you.....I still love you."

Remember this....shelter dogs and cats can AND WILL love again.  They will love you more than you ever thought was possible so before you go and BUY a pet....think about the dedication sitting at the shelter.  

EVERYTHING this dog or cat has been through they still love the ones who abused them. They still love the ones who dumped them.  THEY STILL LOVE!!!

Dedicated to all the animals we have lost to neglect and abuse

When you have had 

ENOUGH of NOT ENOUGH!!!

I cannot understand why we have animal abuse.  Animals are such loving and caring creatures.  I will NEVER understand how a "PERSON" (and I use this word loosely) could inflict such pain and death on one of God's beautiful creatures.  It must be stopped.  It won't be stopped until 

WE ALL DO SOMETHING

This blog is dedicated to ALL of the animals who have suffered and lost their lives at the hands of a cruel and horrible PERSON!


We have the horrific story of Captain who died because of the abuse and neglect of his OWNER! Now the charges will not be that the owner killed him because the owner beat, stabbed and left him to die a day later.  

Picture provided by Stray Rescue

This is "Little Boy" who lost his life at the hands of his owner.  This story can be read at this link Stay Rescue.  Warning, this story and pictures are hard to read and see.

BUT, I've said this many times:  Just because we do not see it does not mean it does not happen!!!





In Honor and Memory of Ridge Who Was a Beloved Family Dog, Stolen from His Yard and Used as Bait and Tortured to his Death. His Death Will Not Be In Vain. This is an Event to Honor and Remember Ridge, And to Educate on ALL Aspects of Owning an Animal.

Story and picture provided by chinasmack

The kittens’ bodies were covered with bullet holes, with blood all over. One of the kittens had its neck tied with a rope and elongated, its chest cut open, heart exposed, while the other three kittens’ heads were stepped on. According to this journalist’s observation, the bullet holes on the kitten’s bodies were caused by a metal toy gun. It is reckoned that during the night of the 10th, someone used a toy gun to beat the kitten black and blue, so that it was unable to escape, before continuing to abuse/mutilate it to death, and intentionally put them beside the mother cat.

There are so many stories out there that have this same ending.  Whether it neglect or abuse....

IT IS WRONG!!!

No matter what animal it is....neglect and abuse is WRONG!  

The laws are not tough enough.  The sentences are not long enough.  The punishment is not enough.  If you have had ENOUGH of NOT ENOUGH make a difference!  Contact your congressmen, your local government, your local rescue shelters and ask what you can do!!!

Meet BJ: Another reminder of how wonderful dogs are and how cruel some humans are

Click here and come back and read (don't act surprised, you know the drill)

The loving arms that was at the end of the broken road is:  The Savior Foundation.  You can find them on Facebook or their website, Dr. Danielle Bayliss and Dr. Miller of the Advanced Animal Eye Care.

Meet BJ, what a sweet and loving puppy.  This is not a story of an owner abusing or neglecting their dog... BJ is loved very much by his family.  
This is a story of an angry person, for whatever reason, decided to punish a sweet and loving dog.
This is a story of one tragic night, as with Corona, a shot rang out and an innocent dog paid the price.
BUT....thank God the broken road led BJ to the loving arms of The Savior Foundation, Dr. Danielle Bayliss and Dr Miller of the Advanced Animal Eye Care.

I will NEVER understand why people, who are of a civilized Country, can hurt anyone or any animal.  Take a good look at the picture of BJ as a puppy.  Now, grab a tissue because here is his story:

I know this is hard to look at.  I cry when I read stories and see pictures like this, BUT:

Just because you do not see it does not mean it does not happen.  

Abuse and neglect of animals happen every second of every day.

The Savior Foundation gets a call about BJ and immediately jumps in to save him.  They contact Dr. Danielle Bayliss and they all began the uphill battle of saving BJ.

This is BJ's X-Ray.


Yes, those are bullet fragments.

As you probably already can tell:  Surgery is needed immediately.



Dr. Miller, Advanced Animal Eye Care, is the skilled surgeon in charge of saving BJ.

Dr. Miller removed many pellets, BJ's eye and a lot of dead tissue.

AND.....BJ, although is in pain, is saved!!!

Although BJ lost his right eye....He looks absolutely WONDERFUL and sooooo very handsome!! 

You are listening to Broken Road by Rascal Flatts and you are hearing "into the loving arms"......

This picture sums up those words perfectly

BJ saying thanks the best way he know how to.  

Dogs love us more than we could ever imagine loving anyone.  No matter what we do THEY LOVE US. Their love is unconditional! No dog, or any animal, should ever suffer at the hands of us!






You may not be able to save every abused or neglected animal out there.  BUT you can make a difference.  Support Rescue agencies by spreading the word and/or donating.  

"Anyone who has accustomed himself to regard the life of any living creature as worthless is in danger of arriving also at the idea of worthless human lives." - Albert Schweitzer (Alsatian Theologian, Musician, and Medical Missionary)

You can help BJ by donating to The Savior Foundation. 

Please consider donating to help other animals whether it be through your local rescue or wonderful organizations like The Savior Foundation.

Let me tell you a story.  A man who sexually abuses children gets caught and lives safely in the confines of a prison.  See it is nice and clean with everything a person NEEDS.  He is fed three meals a day and is kept safe with the laws of our Country.  

Picture compliments of Bakersfieldnow.com

He is protected by a prison guard.  Which I must add are UNARMED.






But tell me this:  A man who sexually abuses children lives in a safe environment (of his choosing I must add)

But.....the one animal who loves us more than he could ever love him or herself lives like this:

 And this is not by the dogs own doing.  THIS IS OUR FAULT!

Imagine these sweet puppies:

Being CONDEMNED to live worse than a pedophile!!  Worse than that....we KNOW about this situation and nothing is being done.

This story started TWO years ago. THIS STORY IS HAPPENING NOW - JULY 2012.

STORY STARTS IN

Wythe County Virginia, 2010 - Multiple dogs were being held in a makeshift dungeon outside of property on Walton Furnace Rd. that Mr. Mike Thomas's is illegally inhabiting (he is squatting) The dogs were being eaten alive with fleas and were living in their own urine and feces with little to no sunlight. Some of the dogs had already died of flea anemia.

Yes the black dots are FLEAS!!

Look closely at this picture.  The dangers these dogs are CURRENTLY living in is inhumane!!  

Mr. Thomas refused to surrender the dogs, the ACO and Sheriff's Office refused to remove the dogs or even cite Mr. Thomas under VA Law.

Mr. Thomas is a very violent man. He wears a large knife around his neck, has an arsenal of weapons in his home, and recently shot at a young boy trying to save one of the dogs that escaped. This is the primary reason why negotiations for the surrender of the dogs have failed.

Remember the prison guard who guards the pedophile is unarmed!!!

At this point the only recourse is to demand that Animal Control remove the dogs.

I would say that NO ANIMAL should live this way but I am going to change that to this:  

THE ONLY ANIMAL THAT SHOULD LIVE THIS WAY IS THE ANIMAL, MR. THOMAS, WHO IS FORCING THESE POOR DOGS TO LIVE THIS WAY!
