We’ll be honest, we have been very hesitant to do so (3 weeks without our baby with someone we don’t know… no way).Ĭircumstances arose where we were going on a long trip and instead of having family watch our pups, we decided it’s time to get them (especially our younger one) properly trained. We have been contemplating getting training for our younger dog, Remi, for some time now. Never think there are no options when being the owner of a pet becomes overwhelming. If you cannot handle the stress of being a dog owner, turn over your dog to the local shelter. Be your dog’s advocate or those dogs who neighbor you and need help. Whether the dog has had to leave their owner through euthanasia, died of natural causes, run away, or something terrible has happened pet lovers grieve. When a beloved pet leaves us, the gaping hole is painful to face. Especially if you are overwhelmed with training your dog or puppy.įacing my own deceased dogs’ lifeless toys in the yard has been heart breaking. These are the stories nightmares are made of. Not even, in this case, in defending itself. What is in such people that they can actually express anger on a beautiful pet dog who actually has the power, the bigger of the species, to kill any one of us, any day with ferocity and jaw power. There is no pride in what they did, even though the expression in their photo appears to express that. Oh Very Young lyrics © BMG Rights Managementįrom the look of the person’s face on the mugshot, they need an intervention from Powers Higher than us mere mortals. Will you, will you ride the great white bird into heavenĪnd the goodbye makes the journey harder still Will you carry the words of love with you
There’ll never be a better chance to change your mindĪnd if you want this world to see a better day Oh very young what will you leave us this time They will vanish away like your dads best jeansĪnd the patches make the goodbye harder still You’re only dancin’ on this earth for a short whileĪnd though your dreams may toss and turn you now Oh very young, what will you leave us this time With all the insecurities and needs to be strong now, I thought it would be a good song to post. Cat Stevens was one of my favorites back in the day. We will pursue the absolute maximum punishment for this horrific crime.”Ĭorrection: Information originally released publicly referred to the suspect as a male and has since been updated on the LCSO arrest page to show the suspect is female.”<<Īfter this, I started hearing a song in my mind’s ear. “This is possibly the most brutal and horrific example of animal abuse my team or I have ever seen. >“I’m speechless,” stated Sheriff Carmine Marceno. But this is the report of the crime from the website in a nutshell: I’m confused about these changes as well. I don’t know how long this page will be up on Wink News, but the original report stated this hateful person was a male, but now is reported as a female. The only good news is that laws have been upgraded to make what I will call “people” who commit these crimes ever more responsible by jail time and severe penalties. Such a story hits home, especially when I was 3 miles away and with super hearing, may have had a chance to help. And I don’t know what makes this maddening, venomous, cruelity suddenly escape, but the thought that it is festering in people and that our beloved dogs and pets get to be the literal scapegoats for such rage, sickens me and all pet lovers. If not this year, last year, or years ago. I know there are stories like this in proximity to many people. These things and people will pass, no matter the care we take to preserve them and in trying to save them, there may be more sorrow and bitterness at the vain efforts to make them last.Today I read a horrible story about a 24-year-old person who bludgeoned and stabbed their dog to death. Even the most durable will surely pass away.Īnd the patches make the goodbye harder still They will vanish away like your daddy's best jeansĪnd though you want him to last forever you know he never willĭaddy's best jeans, like all things, will surely fade. You might trouble yourself with the simple matters that seem so insurmountable today You may now think you're invincible, but everyone dies.Īnd though your dreams may toss and turn you now You're only dancing on this earth for a short while Next generation, what will your legacy be, for the generation that is to follow you?
