I really hate people like that. I hope all the runaways found good loving homes.

We NEED a registry just like we have for $ex offenders for animal abusers. Then make it public for all to see so that we can band together and make these people's lives miserable. I'm alllll for a bit of vigilante justice when it comes to people who harm animals.

What a great idea, AlmostGone! When I think about how loving and devoted our pets are, how dogs in particular adore their owners (even if they're unkindly treated), I want to cry when I hear stories of neglect and abuse. Worse still, is the fact that few abusive pet owners are brought to justice.

TT, I recall your nasty little shit of a SD entertaining herself by shooting frogs with a BB-gun and fear for any children that (heaven forbid!) she might spawn. Chef's thoroughly unattractive brats were a trio of sociopaths! Ugly inside and out.

Just goes to show that some people just are unfit to be responsible enough to commit to caring for pets. Its already bad enough for society that those kind of trashy humans who mistreat animals actually Procreate

I have to try not to even think about SD's status , if she still has her dog or acquired other pets. I dont have any proof of her harming them, but her being fully accountable isnt her forte. Plus she complains about how she finacially struggles as a single mom with two kids, whom Im surprised are still alive and not completely feral ..yet. I can give her that much), so I shudder to wonder how adequately she can take care of a pet on top of that with food, vet bills, and hope the dog isnt neglected. Fun fact is that my little 8 pound Chiuhuhua belonged to her ( well got it for her then 3 year old and infant daughters. who werent quite old enough to assist in  the tasks of caring for the dog), but guess that wasnt considered of course, that would involve SD applying logic)  , so you know how that went hence why we adopted the dog instead of sending him to a shelter like Sd was about to do.

 SD and Baby Daddy who was actually in the picture then, apparently couldnt handle the tiny dog. He is so much better off with us anyway so it worked in our favor.  ( My MIL actually begrudgingly admitted that, which also shocked me since her darling only golden grandchild usually cant not do any wrong! I thought Id faint lol. ..so thats got to tell you something!). It did work out for the  best, since my dog did get a serious  upgrade and spoiled to the max  by DH and I in a loving home as deserved. 

Lord knows how he would end up if he stayed under SD or Baby Daddy's "care" or did get dumped at the shelter. 

So, with that being said, you know what SD eventually turns around and does. Just decides it a great idea to get a Pit Bull. nothing against the breed.. Just saying. A teeny pint sized dog coudnt be taken care of, so by all means lets get a larger one. And maybe others.  ( her reason was that she suddenly found out the landlord didnt allow pets. which from what I recall from renting, that rule is usually laid out from the start) I want to say there might be a hole in that story since she obtained the aforementioned Pit while still living in the same place, so who knows whats true. Doest matter in the end, just hope that any animals she has in her possession now arent completely neglected. 

Thanks for sharing, Hon. Skip sounds awesome; much like my beloved Cookie. Unlike Skip, however, Cookie reserved her childminding skills for her immediate family; forgivable, since she was in her 9th year when she joined our household.  

♥️ All the best
