    <title>The Story of Oogy</title>

    <content type="html">Sorry it's so big...I couldn't get the cut to work.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://pics.livejournal.com/juciest/pic/0002tw18/"&gt;&lt;img height="240" width="160" border="0" alt="" src="http://pics.livejournal.com/juciest/pic/0002tw18/s320x240" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;font color="#000080"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;OOGY.&amp;nbsp; :)))&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 14pt; color: black; font-family: Arial"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;When Oogy was four months old and weighed thirty five pounds he was tied to a stake&amp;nbsp;and used as bait for a Pit Bull. The left side of his face from just behind his eye was torn off, including his ear. He was bitten so hard a&amp;nbsp;piece of his jaw bone was crushed. Afterward, he was thrown into a cage and left to bleed to death. &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;font face="Arial" color="#000000" size="2"&gt;&lt;font face="Arial" color="#000000" size="4"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 14pt; color: black; font-family: Arial"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;I am not a religious man, but I can only conclude that at that moment God turned around and paid attention. The police raided the facility, found Oogy, and took him to Ardmore Animal &amp;nbsp; Hospital , where Dr. &amp;nbsp;Bianco stitched him up and saved him.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;font face="Arial" color="#000000" size="4"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 14pt; color: black; font-family: Arial"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;This coincided with the last weekend of life for our cat, Buzzy, who was 14 at the time. My sons and&amp;nbsp;I had taken Buzzy to AAH for his last visit. &amp;nbsp;The staff had gathered Buzzy in when out comes this pup that looked like nothing more than a gargoyle. He covered us with kisses. The boys and I fell instantly in love with him.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;font face="Arial" color="#000000" size="4"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 14pt; color: black; font-family: Arial"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;Life goes out one door and in another. &amp;quot;This is one of the happiest dogs I've ever met&amp;quot; Dr&lt;span&gt;.&lt;/span&gt; Bianco said. &amp;quot;I can't imagine&amp;nbsp;what he'd be like if half his face hadn't been ripped off.&amp;quot; Then, Dr. B &amp;nbsp;said, &amp;quot;I am not going to tell you the things this dog has been through&amp;quot;. &amp;nbsp;Dr. B's assistant, Diane, took Oogy into her home for several weeks to foster him and make sure he was safe and to crate-train him. &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;font face="Arial" color="#000000" size="4"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 14pt; color: black; font-family: Arial"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Once Oogy came into our house, for my sons, then 12, it was like having a little brother. Whatever they did and wherever they went, there was Oogy. Oogy had to get involved in whatever the lads were doing. He became known as The Third Twin.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;font face="Arial" color="#000000" size="4"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 14pt; color: black; font-family: Arial"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Dr. B thought Oogy was a Pit or Pit-mix and would get to be about 45 pounds. By the time of his first checkup, Oogy weighed 70 pounds. When we walked in the door for the visit&lt;span&gt;,&lt;/span&gt; one of the women who works at AAH exclaimed&lt;span&gt;,&lt;/span&gt; &amp;quot;That's a Dogo!&amp;quot; I asked, &amp;quot;What's a &amp;nbsp;Dogo?&amp;quot; She said, &amp;quot;I'm not sure.&amp;quot; &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;strong&gt;We went on line and learned that the &amp;nbsp;Dogo Argentina is bred in Argentina to hunt mountain lion and boar. Oogy can run about 30 miles an hour, all four legs off the ground like a Greyhound. His leg muscles are so strong that, when he sits, his butt is a half-inch off the ground. Dogos hunt in packs. Dogos hurl themselves against their prey and swarm it. &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Oogy has a neck like a fire hydrant to protect him when he closes on his &amp;nbsp;prey. He is built like a Pit Bull on steroids, with white fur as soft as butter and black freckles. Fully grown, Oogy is 85 pounds of solid muscle, but he does not know this and sits on us. He absolutely craves physical contact. He is full of kisses and chuffs like a steam engine&amp;nbsp;when he is happy. He has a heart as big as all outdoors. One of the traits of the breed is that they fully accept anyone their family does. &amp;nbsp;It is not unusual to come home and find three teenagers on the floor playing a video game and Oogy sprawled across their laps like some living boa. &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;font face="Arial" color="#000000" size="4"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 14pt; color: black; font-family: Arial"&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Oogy hated the crate, and would bark and bark whenever we put him in. This puzzled me because I had been told by people with crate-trained dogs that their pets love the crate and feel secure in its confines. When Oogy was about eight months old, we hired a trainer who also happened to be an animal &amp;nbsp;&amp;quot;whisperer&amp;quot;. We introduced her to Oogy and she sat on the floor for a &amp;nbsp;full five minutes talking to him. We could not hear a word she said. &amp;nbsp;When the trainer lifted her head her eyes were brimming with tears. &amp;nbsp;&amp;quot;Oogy wants you to know&amp;quot; she said &amp;quot;how much he appreciates the love and &amp;nbsp;respect you have shown him.&amp;quot; Then she asked about his routine. I started &amp;nbsp;by showing her where he slept in the crate. She said immediately, &amp;quot;You &amp;nbsp;have to get him out of that box&amp;quot;. &amp;quot;Why?&amp;quot; &amp;quot;Because he associates being in &amp;nbsp;a box with having his ear ripped off.&amp;quot; It was a smack-myself-in-the-forehead moment. Oogy never went back in. &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font face="Arial" color="#000000" size="4"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 14pt; color: black; font-family: Arial"&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Given what Oogy endured and what he is bred for, people are constantly astonished &amp;nbsp;that he loves animals and people as much as he does. Walking with Oogy is like walking with a mayoral candidate. He has to meet everyone. A number of people we encountered in the neighborhood early on told me &amp;nbsp;they were afraid of Oogy because when they would walk or jog by the house&lt;span&gt;,&lt;/span&gt; Oogy would bark at them and trot parallel to them, and given his size and looks... But everyone falls in love with Oogy. By the end of their initial encounter they are rubbing, petting, even kissing him on &amp;nbsp;the nose. Oogy kisses them back. Because of the way he looks, when people meet him for the first time they almost always ask if he is safe. &amp;nbsp;I tell them, &amp;quot;Well, he has licked two people to death.&amp;quot;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;strong&gt;For the first &amp;nbsp;year and a half of his life, part of Oogy's face was normal and the other part looked like a burn victim's. People who saw him in passing&amp;nbsp;&lt;span&gt;c&lt;/span&gt;ould not grasp the duality. As Oogy grew, the scar tissue spread. He could not close his left eye, so it wept constantly; his lip was pulled up and back. Dr. B said Oogy was in constant pain. So, in January 2005, Dr. B. rebuilt Oogy's face. When all the scar tissue was removed&lt;span&gt;,&lt;/span&gt; there&amp;nbsp;was a hole in Oogy's head the size of a softball. After removing the scar tissue&lt;span&gt;,&lt;/span&gt; Dr. B took grafts and pulled the flaps together and sewed Oogy back up. Now Oogy has a hairline scar, but other than that looks just like any normal one-eared dog. &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;An essential &amp;nbsp;part of this story is the fact that AAH has &amp;nbsp;never taken a dime in payment for anything they have done for Oogy. I never asked them for such an arrangement. When I went to pay the first &amp;nbsp;bill I was told, &amp;quot;Oogy's a no-pay.&amp;quot; I never asked why this is. Oogy is their dog. We are just lucky enough to look after him.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font face="Arial" color="#000000" size="4"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 14pt; color: black; font-family: Arial"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Because some&amp;nbsp;of his jaw bone was removed in the initial surgery, some of Oogy's lower &amp;nbsp;left lip droops and a repository for dust and dirt. It is second nature to us to pull the detritus off his lip when we sit next to him. One day&amp;nbsp;I told my sons that when they tell their children about Oogy, they will remember this routine act of kindness. I think that, on some level, every day we try to atone for what happened to him. &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;font face="Arial" color="#000000" size="4"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 14pt; color: black; font-family: Arial"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Last summer &amp;nbsp;Oogy had ACL surgery; his body ultimately rejected the steel plates and developed an infection so his leg had to &amp;nbsp;be opened up a second time and the plates removed. When I went to pick &amp;nbsp;him up following the second surgery, the Technician who brought Oogy out &amp;nbsp;said, &amp;quot;This is a great dog, I really love him.&amp;quot; I said, &amp;quot;Yep, we're &amp;nbsp;lucky to have him&amp;quot;. The Tech looked at me and said, &amp;quot;No, you don't &amp;nbsp;understand. I see hundreds of dogs each week, and every once in awhile there is a special one. And you have him.&amp;quot; &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;font face="Arial" color="#000000" size="4"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 14pt; color: black; font-family: Arial"&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;When I related &amp;nbsp;that story to Dr. B he said, &amp;quot;But we already knew that.&amp;quot;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font face="Arial" color="#000000" size="4"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 14pt; color: black; font-family: Arial"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;Oogy's name is a derivative. The first day I was told we could adopt him I was &amp;nbsp;thinking, &amp;quot;This is one ugly dog.&amp;quot; But we couldn't call him &amp;quot;Ugly.&amp;quot; Then I went to a variation of that from my youth, &amp;quot;Oogly,&amp;quot; and his name &amp;nbsp;followed immediately. Two years after we named him we learned that Oogy is the name of the Ghost Dog in the film, &amp;quot;The Nightmare Before &amp;nbsp;Christmas&amp;quot;. &lt;br /&gt;This is not &amp;nbsp;inappropriate. &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;font face="Arial" color="#000000" size="4"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 14pt; color: black; font-family: Arial"&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;On a recent&amp;nbsp;Saturday afternoon Oogy was curled up on the couch asleep, his head in my lap, and I was thinking about his life is now as opposed to the way his life had been before. Would he have sensed he was dying? Was he conscious when the police put him on a rubber sheet and took him to the&amp;nbsp; Ardmore &amp;nbsp; Animal &amp;nbsp; Hospital ? Oogy went to sleep in a world of terror and searing pain and awoke surrounded by angels in white coats who were k ind to him, who stroked him gently and talked softly to him. Instead of people who baited and beat and kicked &amp;nbsp;him, he was surrounded with healing mercies. &lt;br /&gt;I realized then that Oogy probably did not know he had not died and gone to heaven. &amp;nbsp;So I told him. I said, &amp;quot;Listen pal. It only gets better after this.&amp;quot;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://pics.livejournal.com/juciest/pic/0002w49k/"&gt;&lt;img height="213" width="320" border="0" alt="" src="http://pics.livejournal.com/juciest/pic/0002w49k/s320x240" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 14pt; color: black; font-family: Arial"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;This incredible dog now lives on the Main Line with his adoptive family, Larry and Jennifer and their twin sons, Noah and Dan. &amp;nbsp;Noah and Dan are pictured here in the above photograph with Oogy. Main&amp;nbsp;Line Animal Rescue would like to thank Larry, Oogy's proud father, for sharing his story and helping us educate people to the horrors of &amp;nbsp;dog fighting.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content>

    <content type="html">I&amp;nbsp;have realized lately that several people have deleted me from their flists.&amp;nbsp; I&amp;nbsp;don't know why, they give no explanation.&amp;nbsp; Well, yes, after looking stupid and asking, I&amp;nbsp;got two replies; one, &amp;quot;I thought you had left LJ&amp;quot; and two, &amp;quot;I&amp;nbsp;don't have time for all the journals&amp;quot;.&amp;nbsp; Others that I felt inclined to ask couldn't be bothered to reply.&amp;nbsp; I&amp;nbsp; thought &amp;quot;I&amp;nbsp;care&amp;quot; about why these people chose to leave...but I&amp;nbsp;shouldn't .&amp;nbsp; At first I&amp;nbsp;thought maybe it was because of my responses to others' political leanings and the political bashing that continued on well past the elections.&amp;nbsp; I&amp;nbsp;got tired of it and decided to make the statement that I&amp;nbsp;was tired of it.&amp;nbsp; If you can't accept that I have my&amp;nbsp;own&amp;nbsp;opinion, then you don't need to&amp;nbsp;be on my list.&amp;nbsp; I'm not a blue blood Democrat, nor am I&amp;nbsp;a red blood Republican.&amp;nbsp; I&amp;nbsp;don't hold any else's political leanings (or complete submergence in politics&amp;nbsp;as the case may occasionally be) against them and couldn't figure out why anyone would really hold mine against me.&amp;nbsp; But oh well.&amp;nbsp; I&amp;nbsp;don't really care any longer.&amp;nbsp; Keep me, delete me...whatever.&amp;nbsp; I'll just delete you back.&amp;nbsp; Nyah.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I considered having a 'friending frenzy', but then thought better of it.&amp;nbsp; Maybe someday.&amp;nbsp; I'm&amp;nbsp;just not at a good time in my life right now to be accepting of people, especially when so few are&amp;nbsp;accepting&amp;nbsp;of me. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Update on&amp;nbsp;the crap in my life...fire damage still not repaired, still trying to find a contractor to come and give me an estimate.&amp;nbsp; Layoffs complete, and I&amp;nbsp;really no longer want to&amp;nbsp;be a nurse any longer.&amp;nbsp; Doctors are all a bunch of&amp;nbsp;retarded idiots and nurses are a bunch of backstabbing bitches.&amp;nbsp; For the stupid men who always ask stupid questions, NO, I'm not dating anyone and really&amp;nbsp;have no&amp;nbsp;inclination to date anyone.&amp;nbsp; Do not ask me my opinion on men right now, because if you're a man, you will not like it.&amp;nbsp; I'm supposed to go to Houston today to fill out paperwork for a job I really don't want, it's cold, my shoulder and my leg hurt, and I&amp;nbsp;have to start cooking for tomorrow.&amp;nbsp; I'm not in the mood for a drive to NW Houston in pre-holiday traffic and I&amp;nbsp;really hate Houston anyway. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I&amp;nbsp;think I'll go back to bed.</content>

GASP!&amp;nbsp; THE&amp;nbsp;HORROR!!!&amp;nbsp; Yeah, Ms. Penguinsane, NOW I'm being 'sarcastic'.&amp;nbsp; I&amp;nbsp;didn't think much of it, I&amp;nbsp;just wondered&amp;nbsp; why someone else's private conversation with her pet's doctor was privvy to all and sundry.&amp;nbsp; I&amp;nbsp;meant NO&amp;nbsp;offense, but was greatly offended by others responding to my question.&amp;nbsp; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Here is my question...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;table class="talk-comment" width="100%"&gt;&lt;tbody&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td width="100%" bgcolor="#bbddff"&gt;&lt;table class="talk-comment" width="100%"&gt;&lt;tbody&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td width="100%" bgcolor="#bbddff"&gt;&lt;img class="ContextualPopup" title="Tami: stupid people" height="100" alt="" hspace="3" src="http://p-userpic.livejournal.com/69438576/13641742" width="100" align="left" up_url="http://p-userpic.livejournal.com/69438576/13641742" ctxpopupid="104" /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&amp;lt;/a&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/font&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/b&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/a&amp;gt;&lt;span class='ljuser ljuser-name_juciest' lj:user='juciest' style='white-space: nowrap;'&gt;&lt;a href='http://juciest.livejournal.com/profile'&gt;&lt;img src='http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif' alt='[info]' width='17' height='17' style='vertical-align: bottom; border: 0; padding-right: 1px;' /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href='http://juciest.livejournal.com/'&gt;&lt;b&gt;juciest&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;font size="-1"&gt;2008-11-10 07:09 am (local)&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font size="-1"&gt;(&lt;a href="http://community.livejournal.com/stupidpetowners/3196158.html?thread=57092862#t57092862"&gt;&lt;font color="#330066"&gt;link&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/a&gt;)&lt;/font&gt; &lt;a href="http://www.livejournal.com/delcomment.bml?journal=stupidpetowners&amp;amp;id=57092862"&gt;&lt;img title="Delete" height="20" alt="Delete" hspace="2" src="http://p-stat.livejournal.com/img/btn_del.gif" width="22" align="absMiddle" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.livejournal.com/manage/subscriptions/comments.bml?journal=stupidpetowners&amp;amp;talkid=57092862"&gt;&lt;img title="Track This" height="20" alt="Track This" src="http://p-stat.livejournal.com/img/btn_track.gif" width="22" align="absMiddle" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td&gt;I'm sorry, I'm not taking up for the woman with the puppy...but WHY were you listening to the private conversation between this woman and the vet? Especially when YOUR vet visit was OVER already? MY vet has all of their furbaby owners sign PRIVACY statements (just like a PEOPLE DOCTOR) and while I'm sure you had concern for this woman's puppy, her dogs at home, her newborn pups, and the puppies she was picking up at the airport, do you know the entire situation? PERHAPS she runs a dog rescue...dog rehab...who are YOU to know? And who are you to judge?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Casstarted? Castrated? HUH? I'm just really confused, not only about why you felt any of this was your concern, but about the content of the posting itself. Geez, my dog has fleas, I give my dog a bath. I would hope some moron who felt my dog's fleas were their business wouldn't be so rash as to call the SPCA on me. And maybe I rescued that puppy from the pet store because I didn't want it put to death later because no one wanted it because the poor thing was from a &amp;quot;puppy mill&amp;quot;. Poor puppy.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;End of rant.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;SPO indeed. &lt;p style="margin: 0.7em 0px 0.2em"&gt;&lt;font size="-2"&gt;(&lt;a href="http://community.livejournal.com/stupidpetowners/3196158.html?replyto=57092862"&gt;&lt;font color="#0000cc"&gt;Reply to this&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/a&gt;)(&lt;a href="http://community.livejournal.com/stupidpetowners/3196158.html?thread=57092862#t57092862"&gt;&lt;font color="#330066"&gt;Thread&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/a&gt;)&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt;Please tell me what was wrong with anything I&amp;nbsp;said.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;People had responded that the OP needed to find out who the woman was and report her to the SPCA!&amp;nbsp; Because her dog had FLEAS!!!&amp;nbsp; OMG, she has MORE dogs at home!&amp;nbsp; And she's at the vet asking for flea preventative so her other dogs don't get fleas!&amp;nbsp; AND, OMG, she's getting some &amp;quot;chiwawas&amp;quot; from the US!&amp;nbsp; She's a HOARDER!!!&amp;nbsp; She's a STUPID PET OWNER!!!&amp;nbsp; She's a BREEDER!!!&amp;nbsp; WTF is a BYB?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I was told I couldn't read, I was on my &amp;quot;high horse&amp;quot; and &amp;quot;uppity&amp;quot;.&amp;nbsp; I&amp;nbsp;was cursed at.&amp;nbsp; I&amp;nbsp;was accused of being &amp;quot;pro-puppy mill&amp;quot; because I backed the post's subject for 'rescuing' the puppy from the pet store, and ALL&amp;nbsp;pet stores ONLY&amp;nbsp;sell puppies that are manufactured in PUPPY&amp;nbsp;MILLS FOR GAWD'S SAKE!!!&amp;nbsp; You know...I&amp;nbsp;don't know of any puppy mills, in my area at least (thankfully), and all of the pet stores that I&amp;nbsp;am familiar with (independent as well as chain) sell animals from local shelters and the SPCA and some will take unwanted puppies and kittens and put them up for adoption for a small fee.&amp;nbsp; The OWNERS of the unwanted animals receive NO&amp;nbsp;money for the sale of these animals.&amp;nbsp; But no matter what I&amp;nbsp;said, it was taken out of context, misread, twisted, and I was punched and stoned once again.&amp;nbsp; I made the mistake of standing up for myself and Ms. Moderator jumped down my throat.&amp;nbsp; All of MY&amp;nbsp;posts were sarcastic and I was inciting the violence I so richly deserved...uh, huh?&amp;nbsp; I&amp;nbsp;asked a question .&amp;nbsp; Some little smarmy bitch smarted off at me...I smarted off right back.&amp;nbsp; I&amp;nbsp;tend to be a little facetious at times.&amp;nbsp; I'm NOT&amp;nbsp;a sarcastic person.&amp;nbsp; But it was all&amp;nbsp;MY&amp;nbsp;fault.&amp;nbsp; Yeah, whatever.&amp;nbsp; These people are so freaking retarded that they can't even read a timeline.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I&amp;nbsp;was disrespected in almost every response I&amp;nbsp;got.&amp;nbsp; Yet when I&amp;nbsp;had the audacity to point that out, this is the reponse I&amp;nbsp;received:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;table class="talk-comment" width="100%"&gt;&lt;tbody&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td width="100%" bgcolor="#aaccee"&gt;&lt;img class="ContextualPopup" title="Mayhem" height="100" alt="" hspace="3" width="100" align="left" up_url="http://p-userpic.livejournal.com/65789037/791311" ctxpopupid="9" src="http://p-userpic.livejournal.com/65789037/791311" /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&amp;lt;/a&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/font&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/b&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/a&amp;gt;&lt;span class='ljuser ljuser-name_penguinsane' lj:user='penguinsane' style='white-space: nowrap;'&gt;&lt;a href='http://penguinsane.livejournal.com/profile'&gt;&lt;img src='http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif' alt='[info]' width='17' height='17' style='vertical-align: bottom; border: 0; padding-right: 1px;' /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href='http://penguinsane.livejournal.com/'&gt;&lt;b&gt;penguinsane&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;font size="-1"&gt;2008-11-11 09:42 am (local)&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font size="-1"&gt;(&lt;a href="http://community.livejournal.com/stupidpetowners/3196158.html?thread=57151230#t57151230"&gt;&lt;font color="#0000cc"&gt;link&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/a&gt;)&lt;/font&gt; &lt;a href="http://www.livejournal.com/manage/subscriptions/comments.bml?journal=stupidpetowners&amp;amp;talkid=57151230"&gt;&lt;img title="Track This" height="20" alt="Track This" width="22" align="absMiddle" border="0" src="http://p-stat.livejournal.com/img/btn_track.gif" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td&gt;People are on you because you're continually being sarcastic.

What was the last thing that you ate?&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I don't remember...a tootsie roll pop I&amp;nbsp;think, while I&amp;nbsp;was reading in bed last night.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;5. Can you drive a stick shift?&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Oh hell yeah, I&amp;nbsp;can drive a stick, a three on a tree, and an 18 wheeler.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;6. Last person you spoke to on the phone?&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I&amp;nbsp;don't remember, either my mom or a bill collector calling me about a third-party hospital charge that should have been paid last Feb.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;7. Do you like the person who sent this to you?&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;No one sent it to me, I ganked it from &lt;span class='ljuser ljuser-name_ayoub' lj:user='ayoub' style='white-space: nowrap;'&gt;&lt;a href='http://ayoub.livejournal.com/profile'&gt;&lt;img src='http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif' alt='[info]' width='17' height='17' style='vertical-align: bottom; border: 0; padding-right: 1px;' /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href='http://ayoub.livejournal.com/'&gt;&lt;b&gt;ayoub&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&amp;nbsp;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;8. How old are you today?&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Guess...right now I feel older than I&amp;nbsp;am, but usually people tell me I&amp;nbsp;look much younger.&amp;nbsp; Stress really sucks.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;10. What is your favourite drink?&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Depends on if we're talking alcoholic or non.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;11. Have you ever dyed your hair?&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Isn't all hair dead? lmao&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;12. Favourite food?&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Thai!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;13. What is the last movie you watched?&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Get Smart&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;14. Favourite day of the year?&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I'm not sure I&amp;nbsp;really have a favorite.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;15. How do you vent anger?&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Usually by running my mouth, and if I&amp;nbsp;can't do that, I end up crying.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;16. What was your favourite toy as a child?&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My mini&amp;nbsp;VW Bug that Daddy got me.&amp;nbsp; He also bought a working locomotive engine that I&amp;nbsp;just loved, the lights worked and it blew smoke from the stack.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;17. What is your favourite season?&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Spring and Autumn.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;18. Cherries or Blueberries?&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I&amp;nbsp;like them both, but as far as blueberries, I&amp;nbsp;prefer wild over cultivated.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;19. Do you want your friends to &lt;strike&gt;e-mail you back&lt;/strike&gt; fill this out?&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Have at it if you will.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;20. Who is the most likely to respond?&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;No idea.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;21. Who is least likely to respond?&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Again, no idea...probably everyone...lol&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;22. Living arrangements?&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;With my kids and animals.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;23. When was the last time you cried?&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Yesterday...my book was sad.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;24. What is on the floor of your closet?&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Shoes, boxes, I&amp;nbsp;dunno.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;25. Who is the friend you have had the longest that you are sending to?&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;No one...I'm not sending it to anyone.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;26. What did you do last night?&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Watched a movie with my son and read a book (well, finished one and started another).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;27. What are you most afraid of?&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Dying alone.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;28. Plain, cheese, or spicy hamburger?&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Cheese...unless it's a Tookie's Bean Burger.&amp;nbsp; I&amp;nbsp;wonder if they're going to open Tookie's back up, it was pretty badly damaged in the hurricane.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;29. Favourite dog breed?&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I love most dogs...I have a Pomeranian, recently lost my Dachshund (he was such a good puppy), and I&amp;nbsp;like Shelties, Sheepdogs, Mastiffs, Boxers, Bassets...I&amp;nbsp;just love dogs.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;30. Favourite day of the week?&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Saturday.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;31. How many states have you lived in?&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Two.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;32. Diamonds or pearls?&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Pearls are my birthstone, and I&amp;nbsp;have many.&amp;nbsp; Diamonds aren't bad, I&amp;nbsp;have them too.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;33. What is your favourite flower?&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Orchids and Hibiscus...and passionflowers, and clematis, and mandevilla, and jasmine...</content>

(Houston)&lt;/h2&gt;&lt;hr /&gt;&lt;p&gt;Reply to: &lt;a href="mailto:pers-778283391@craigslist.org?subject=Dear%20Bitchy%20Fat%20Boy,%20TAKE%20A%20SHOWER!%20(Houston)"&gt;pers-778283391@craigslist.org&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Date: 2008-07-31, 9:50PM CDT&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div&gt;The first and second time I met you, I was repulsed. By the third time I met you, I was lonely and my woman-hood was getting dry, so I gave it a go. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I realize now that cuddling my Pound Puppies pillow at night and working myself over with a dildo three or four times a day would have been a much cleaner, more rewarding option. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I guess I should have first realized what a bitch you were when I reached over to MY car radio and switched the station, only to witness you dramatically throw yourself against the car window and let out a long sigh. After I asked you what was wrong you stated that you were not going to talk to me for the rest of the night. Seriously?... Seriously?! It was Matchbox 20. Seriously!! &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And maybe I should have realized what a bitch you were when you insisted on ordering ten special, customized menu items from a fast-food restaurant that is notorious for getting orders wrong. Then you didn't even check all ten of your customized menu items for accuracy before we left. Instead, you sat perched up in my passenger seat like an overfed, unkept poodle and whined all the way home that you would be just so upset if your order was wrong. Sure enough, Bitchy Fat Boy-Genius, your order was WRONG! And how did you take care of this notably serious issue? Well, you did what any Bitchy Fat Boy of your caliber would do. You threw yourself a good old-fashioned temper-tantrum. Chalk full of foot stomping, obnoxious whining and about two minutes of vowing to just not eat at all. Then as I sat there staring at you, completely disgusted and confused as to why the fuck I was even there, you reached over, picked up one of the un-compromised menu items and stuffed your bitchy fat face. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And probably the bitchiest of your fat bitchiness would come when you and I indulged in friendly rounds of witty banter. You could sure dish it out, and I was so please to spit it right back at you. This is an exercise my girlfriends and I practice on a regular basis. No one gets their feelings hurt. It's all in good fun. So why, oh why Bitchy Fat Boy, could you, a boy, not refrain from completely breaking down and pouting only after my first attempt to show you just how witty I can be? Is it quite possible that I, along with every other female I know, have bigger balls than you, a Bitchy Fat Boy? &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And I guess I could have been for-warned the first (and last) time I went down on you, that you had not taken a shower since the previous day. Even though you spent the previous evening working. You and I both know your balls stay a permanent sweaty and sticky all the while you lazily make money at your place of business. I still, however, went down. And even as I was thinking to myself I'd rather have my mouth and nose stuck up against a pile of elephant dung, I kept my thoughts and gag reflexes to a minimum. I am a champ!! I can do this... Then I tasted your pre-cum. I pulled away and never re-visited funky town. I am almost positive you had ten year old calcium deposits in the midst of your gentlemen swimmers and they were looking to escape right out onto my tongue. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I love giving oral sex, even more than the next lady. I enjoy the taste of a man, and I've even been told I am pretty good at it. But you, Bitchy Fat Boy, never got to experience the supreme goodness of my hungry mouth, and yes, I noticed you were upset about it. You asked for it all the time, and all the while, I objected. I appreciate the many times you so diligently lapped at my CLEAN snatch, just hoping maybe, just maybe it would be on this night I was not selfish. But, Bitchy Fat Boy, even after so many of my subtle hints, you still NEVER took a SHOWER! &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So yes, I was selfish. However, there was so much more I did for you. Like when you rammed your insignificant organ so clumsily into me that my body made a nice comfortable home in the crack between your bed and the wall. You never seemed to notice or to even care that my body was slowly slipping away from yours. Okay, that's understandable. After all, I could tell you were hard at work, humping, drilling and grunting all over the place. I never wanted to interrupt your shameful display of love making, so I loudly laid there gasping for air each time your 300+ pound body came slamming into my pelvis. I even faked an orgasm or ten for you. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I also climbed on top of your bountiful body many a time, so determined this time was going to be it, I was going to ride myself pleasantly to an orgasm. Unfortunately, I never felt your bitchy cock inside me. I was almost envious of the way you panted and moaned with pleasure as you came for the second time in minutes. Why couldn't I feel you inside me, Bitchy Fat Boy? And why couldn't you give me even just one orgasm? I eventually just said the hell with it, and I faked ten more for you. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Also, how about the time you had me naked on your bed and as you were about to lay your massive body on top of mine, you excused yourself to take a twenty minute dump? I patiently laid there for fifteen minutes, embarrassed for the both of us, before I got up and put my clothes back on. When you returned from what I so much hoped was not a twenty minute dump, but instead a shower, you announced that you had, in fact, taken a dump. Then you got upset with me because I had already gotten dressed. Come on, Bitchy Fat Boy. SERIOUSLY? &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So, I guess you won. You got all the orgasms and the pleasure. You even got to be the one to dump me!! All the while, being a lazy fuck and never really bothering to keep yourself clean and respectful for me. Congratulations. Dating you was the dirtiest, nastiest, most stomach turning, body-aching three weeks of my life. Yes, indeed, congratulations Bitchy Fat Boy. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Just do your next girlfriend a favor and TAKE A SHOWER! &lt;table&gt;&lt;tbody&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;Location: Houston &lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;it's NOT ok to contact this poster with services or other commercial interests&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;p&gt;PostingID: 778283391&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;hr /&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="clfooter"&gt;Copyright © 2008 craigslist, inc.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="http://www.craigslist.org/about/terms.of.use.html"&gt;terms of use&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="http://www.craigslist.org/about/privacy.policy.html"&gt;privacy policy&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="http://houston.craigslist.org/forums/?forumID=8"&gt;feedback forum&lt;/a&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content>

And I'm still alive. My husband wanted me to go on his last trip with him, the one he died in...but I couldn't go.
