Hang him by his nuts by dumb-bells....

A couple of weeks ago I read on the Hamilton Spectator website (cause I just can't NOT know what goes on around my old stompin' grounds) about some low-life, scum sucking, beat the shit out of asshole that tied two dumb-bells to the neck of his german shepherd and left her in the Chippawa creek. Thank goodness a good citizen found her/him and rescued this poor undeserving animal from the grips of hell. WELL THEY CAUGHT THIS SON OF A BITCH!! Give me just 5 minutes in a room with this sick bastard and he would wish that he had dumb-bells tied around his neck and was left to drown. I would make sure he..............need I say more?
I have always been an animal lover - to the endth degree, however - when I had my german shepherd shot by the prick that I lived with and buried in my front yard for me to see - many things changed for me. The fact that one of the many guns loaded with bullets and lined up in my kitchen were meant for me that same evening is something for another blog...... this entry is about my love for german shepherds (and all animals in general).
Since my Mom and Dad have lost their beloved Jag, I have spent many hours on websites looking for german shepherds that need a great home. I am truly horrified at what I have found!!!! Beyond my comprehension, I can't believe there is so many CRUEL people in this world that have absolutely no regard for the life and well being of a dog!! Sick, sick people. I am also amazed at the dedication of some people that strive to protect and look after an animal.
I don't have kids - I will never have kids - but I have my animals - and they are my kids!! Bottom-line!!! If I could, I would be the Angelina Jolie of animals (well maybe not with the looks or the body - or the boyfriend for that fact...) but I would make sure every animal in the world at least had a fair chance. So..........
I have found a place in North Bay that is truly dedicated to the breed of German Shepherds. It is a rescue that has dedicated themselves only to this beautiful breed that I hold so close to my heart. These angelic people take it upon themselves to rescue, rehabilitate, love, medicate, train and teach abused and abandoned german shepherds to show them that there are still good people in the world that they can trust and will give them a loving forever home. This is their website. http://www.shepherdscountryhavenandrescue.com
If I could do what they do - I would, but I would never be able to send the dogs to a new home - I would end up with 100 of them - and totally broke!!! But I would like 5!!!
I guess the long and short of it is that I have found something in my "wonderful world of animals" that I would like to help with. I have always been a great supporter of the OSPCA, and I'm not saying that I'm going to stop that, but, I have committed to seriously help out this german shepherd rescue. And I feel good about it. Perhaps it is therapy for me too.
I recently learnt that in the great "pursuit of happiness" you have to look within yourself first and look after what is true in your own heart first. You can't continually look around corners thinking or hoping that there is always something better or something going to make you happier around the next bend. You can't pursue something that you can't even identify yourself first. Animals and german shepherds in particular are something that I know IS true to my heart. So I find great satisfaction in this.
And since I've taken on this new "pursuit of happiness" way of life and thought, amazingly enough, my blood pressure has dropped 20 points....... (maybe not the day I read about about the asshole that tied the dumb-bells to his german shepherd's neck and left her for dead in a creek) but today they caught that bastard and the dog is doing well - so my blood pressure is fine and even better than normal again.
Looks like I might be taking a drive to North Bay this weekend to meet these wonderful people and see their rescue that I am committing to help. It will be my utmost pleasure to shake hands with this couple and meet their rescue dogs. It will also be a pleasure to hand them a donation that will help them with their new fence, vet bills, food ect.........I feel good....and happy!
