By nature, we tend to make it our business when there are tribulation and disaster in the world.  Why?  Because our heart breaks for the suffering.  We want to help but sometimes it is beyond our means.  So we say we will pray for those who are going to be hit by this new storm.  Though it is a gift in and of it self to pray. But have we forgotten about the people who survived the last hurricane? Not completely I'm sure, but our prayers for them have now grown thin because they made it through the worst we think.  

However, in my opinion, they are now facing the biggest disaster, "themselves". Yes as small as that sounds it's true. You see I've lost everything before, I know the heartache, confusion, desperation and the what ifs. I had days to let it sink that I was going to lose everything also. Before the storm is the preparation. Looking around and quickly having to decide out of your whole entire home what is most important to you at the moment. Something materialistic that matters to you besides your family and life. The storm hits you hunker down and Thank God you are safe.

DON'T CALL HIM A PRETTY BOY

Ever since Leigon was a little pup he always got annoyed and barked if we called him a pretty boy. I don't think he understood what we were saying, as much as how we were saying it  Obviously we thought it was hilarious once we figured it out.  Many times over the years I've tried to record him "talking back" as we say, but could never get it.  I was always just too late or he would sit there and act like he had no idea what I was saying till I put the phone down. Both my dogs hate the phone as you can tell by this picture.

      Not everyone who loves animals can have or afford one. This is a wonderful invention for those people who want to feel the love and companionship of a pet. My Grandmother was one of the biggest animal lovers I know especially for her cats. A few years back she got very sick and was admitted to the hospital. It broke her heart to leave her animals behind.

Nightmare In Hamden CT  

The Untold Story of Kato and Kleo

Around 6 pm that day in October 2012, Kim Miller of Hamden, CT, was working in her yard when somebody – whoever was it, she never saw – opened the gate to her yard while she was busy in work. Her two Rottweilers – Kato, a 2-year-old male, and Kleo, a 1-year-old female – ran outside. Catching a glimpse of them getting out of the yard, Miller ran after them to bring them back. She was about half a minute behind the dogs and when she arrived at the scene of the incident – the front yard of a neighbor’s house almost 300 feet from her own – she saw a woman in her late forties hitting and kicking the dogs. As an eye witnesses later confirmed to the owner, the woman had run downstairs from the second story of her house to attack the dogs after her granddaughter, age 6, got scared of the sight of dogs coming toward her yard. There has been no evidence the dogs attacked her and no proof that the dogs meant to attack her prior to her attack on the dogs. The girl, like many children do, got scared at the sight of dogs running toward her yard and ran inside the first floor neighbor’s house with a scream. That is when Cynthia Reed, the child’s grandmother, came running down the stairs with something in her hand and started hitting the dogs as well as kicking them. Finding themselves under attack, the dogs reacted and bit her in self-defense. The scene immediately caught attention from neighbors.

While Miller arrived and ran to get her dogs, she was preceded by two guys who attacked the dogs – one with a baseball bat who kept hitting the dogs repeatedly while the other pulled over his car such that the dogs were trapped within a circle and had little way to escape. The guys beat the dogs with such force that they barked and whimpered in pain while the owner held a freighted and unsteady Reed to support her. Miller kept begging aloud to the guy with the baseball bat to stop hitting the male dog as the female dog had slipped away, finding a little space in the scene. Finally, the guy with the bat stopped after several cries from Miller begged him not to hurt the dog. When she got the dogs home, they were still shivering and whimpering, crouched in a corner from the trauma inflicted on them at Reed’s yard. Kato was brutally beaten and needed urgent medical treatment.
