If you were a dog?

[Armistead]

Posted a thread about how my wife ended up with a bunch of dogs that had to be rescued. I had to take pictures of each one and we had to have a way to ID them for now, so I named them after subsim members. I tried as best I could to match members here to dogs based on my perception of them. These are a few, I will post more later.

This is Buna, very nice dog, tries to get along with all, enjoys having his belly rubbed and does great tricks

This is Donna, she looks sweet, a yapper, eats a lot, but keeps a decent figure.

This is Steve, very nosy, barks a lot, but often sad. Needs a lot of attention.

This is Red October.. He came to the house, spent the night sleeping by my wife. What a loudmouth, chasing his tail, can't ever make up his mind.

Neal, my wife getting ready to give him a bath. Neal is a tad controlling, has a mean bark, but after a round of butt licking treats everyone nicely. Likes to have his nails done.

Those are quite good, actually. I don't really picture Takeda that way, but the others are pretty much as I'd describe them myself. Of course we're going by character. We've seen pictures of some of them, so going by appearance might be somewhat different. Still...:sunny:

[Armistead]

Hate to ruin the fun of the thread. My wife just called with shocking news, the owner plans to put all these dogs down tomorrow.

My wife is enraged. Per my story about the vet that killed himself, his wife was released from mental hospital. His executor was another vet. While we didn't know about payment for taking the dogs, she asked about it and said she would pay. We gave her a big discount and no volunteer charged for time, $900. She became furious.

Before the bill the executor said we could find homes and give some away, we did. The big problem, we're told the vet that owned the dogs had in his will if he died to have his dogs put down, but in suicide note he asked us to "please take them." Problem is his nut wife legally owns them and we have doubts about his will, nor do we understand all the legalities of such yet.

Long story, but the crazed women and the executor vet says they're coming to get all the dogs left and put them down and he is lying to the woman about what he told us.

Problem is we're a business, we can't handle all of this or hire lawyers, just not feasible. However, we are going to give her a full bill in the amount of $2500 and will not release the dogs until paid. We will offer to null the bill in exchange for the dogs.

It's my wifes deal, I suspect she'll fight it tooth and nail. The fact is we have homes for several. We plan to call the local news and see if they will show up, maybe shame her. Hopefully we can get some legal advice or find some way to resolve this. From what I'm hearing the wife hated these dogs and her husbands care for them......She is severely mentally ill.

Anyway, not sure of all the facts, but wish us luck. I would hope this would be inhumane and can be stopped, but according to vet any owner can legally put their dogs down. They're 17 left out of 24.

[u crank]

That's a heck of a story Armistead. Wow.

Wishing you and your wife all the best. You're doing the right thing. :salute:

[fireftr18]

Sad news indeed. :wah: I'll add the situation to my ever growing prayer list. :cry: I wish the dogs the best of luck and that instead of being put down, good homes will be found for them.

[desertstriker]

you should try to get a copy of the will more importantly the part that says the dogs where to be put down if only for your own records and to "establish" the legality of the dogs belonging to nutty wife that can buy some time. Also have some type of super long release document made up and have 1 per dog. Its a dirty trick but of course the more hassle you can create as a buisiness the more likely the nut gives up. if the bill amount doesn't stop it.

If he loved the dogs so much i can't see why he would want them put down after his death:hmmm: even though i am really young still I already have a will written and mine dictates that my dog and hermit crabs go to a caring if none of my family can handle them...

there has to be a way and the news is a good start. If it could be decided out of court i would have also recommended trying to see if it could be ruled that the wife is mentaly unfit to own or make decisions on the dogs but 1 i am not sure if that is even possible and 2 it would cost money.

[BrucePartington]

It seems we share more than just subsim video games.
I wish Armistead and wife the best of lucks. I'd be fighting for the dogs well being too.
The ones I still have with me are mother and daughter, the male brothers have been placed in good homes already. All saved from the streets.
Mother is a German Shorthaired Pointer. She was a stray (I ignore her past) and she passed my house a few times, running scared from everyone, and very pregnant. One night I heard barking and high pitched squeaks at the end of my back yard. I don't have to tell you the rest of the story:D
Shortly after, early 2009, my professional life started to go sideways.
I could have relocated elsewhere then, to where my skills might be more appreciated. Leaving this new family behind would have left me devastated, so I stayed and tried to find a solution. In vain. It won't be this year I'll heed to Onkel Neal's appeal.
Now, it seems my two girls will have a new home soon. If so, I will be relieved from duty, and move on, hopefully before the end of the year, off to a new start.

[Armistead]

Legally nothing much we could do, owner had the right to put down their healthy dogs, some vets won't do it, but plenty will. I don't know about the will, except told now his wife could keep what dog she wanted, put down the rest.
My wife said she is a total nut, trying to give the dogs away before we gave her a bill she asked for. Now she seems to want to prove a point.

All we can hope for is that once we present her a full bill she will turn them over. If she pays, she can take the animals and do as she pleases.

[desertstriker]

to bad i am in ohio and had the money. i would take 2 more dogs :wah:

[Sailor Steve]

What a drag. All I can do is hope for the best for both you and them.

[Armistead]

Well, it wasn't in the will, just a crazy lady making it up. Strange about mentally ill people, she pushed for a bill that the kennel wasn't asking for, then they say she went almost demonic when given a cheap bill for all the work. My wife is partners, so they'll have to make a decision on how to handle it. What is sad, with so many responding on FB, I think we easily have homes for all of them now. In fact, we've had several locals just pull up asking for one. Several have called the local news, so that will be interesting as well.

Anyway, my wife has taken two and 3 others have vanished. Course that could be a legal issue, as she gave them away, then took them back after the bill...

Sadly, 1000's of healthy dogs get put down daily at the request of owners. Many think "No Kill" shelters are safe places, but some of the worse, they contract out, my daughter is a vet tech and they get about 100 pets a week from "No-Kills" to put down. Good money for the vet. Sadly, it's between Thanksgiving and Christmas that many healthy dogs get put down, people tend to take vacation, travel.

PETA is far from ethical, probably the biggest animal frauds, yet they take in millions.
"on one side preaching its animal liberation agenda, while on the other signing the death warrant of over 89 percent of pets in its care. It’s beyond hypocritical.”

http://www.petakillsanimals.com/

This was the vets favorite dog, it was found laying on his dead body. It went where he went. The lady replied it was the dog she hated most.
Anyway, it's safe at our home and will stay here.

Odee Downing I have been on my knees all night asking for a miracle I love these dogs I loved dale too I never met his wife until today my heart goes out to her I know she is sick too. I have thought about just breaking in to the kennel even though I have keys and taking everyone of those dogs to my house. It's going to be so hard tomorrow walking into my grooming room and seeing them knowing that they may only have a few hours left so sad I just can't stop crying

Ridiculous legal situation, I hope that something is worked out, but the law can be a real ass, as they say. I remember Mum mentioning a vet that used to work near the shelter she worked at, and he'd get some real idiots come in to have their dogs put to sleep for no real reason other than they'd gotten bored with it, or just didn't want it anymore, and usually they didn't want the body back, so he'd take them into another room, say the job was all done, and then send the dog to the shelter to be rehomed.
I doubt that sort of thing would fly in todays legal society though...

I am proud to be 'old fashioned' then.
I don't know how things work elsewhere, but here the law mandates that only the City kennel vet is authorized to put them down. And if the owner has no valid humane reason to have ordered it (terminal illness, prolonged suffering, etc), he is then listed as a 'bad owner' and henceforth not allowed (by law) to adopt any pets ever.

As of now she hasn't shown up. I think that's a good sign, plus we can charge for another full day for all the dogs after 12 if she does come.

I agree, in many instances, the 'old fashioned' ways are the better ways. Don't get me wrong, we've got a lot of good laws in place now to help prevent animal cruelty, but there are so many loopholes and instances where the law doesn't apply or is open to abuse that sometimes you have to wonder which is better.

Anyway, I'll keep my fingers crossed that she doesn't show, Armistead.

Glad you guys do that, but not going to happen in America due to the millions of unwanted pets yearly. The cost to care and find homes would be high. The majority of advocacy groups for animals more interested in money.

At the end of every deer hunting season here, 100's of hunting hounds are shot after deer season. The owners won't spend the money to keep them up until the next season, just keep the better ones and find more about a month before deer season. The cost of a bullet much cheaper than the $60 to put one down humanely.

America has many shelters that state they're "no-kill", including most city shelters now, but with stipulations, if a dog shows any aggressive or dysfunctional behavior, signs of illness, they're put down. Many dogs being forced into a kennel need time, but if one growls, acts depressed, it's put down. Many breeds are protective, not a good thing in a shelter. Most no kill shelters, PETA, etc., put down 90% of pets they "rescue"

I hardly know a vet that will give a dog to PETA. They're numerous cases of PETA picking up rescue dogs to save, only to put them down. Several of PETA's rescue managers given the drugs to kill dogs on the road, bag them and put them in dumpsters. This way it doesn't go on PETA's list of dogs they put down. They're a numerous cases of PETA picking up 20 plus dogs, killing them and throwing them in dumpsters.

(I will take the infraction if i get one but i need to say this) Bitch was just jealous the dogs were taking attention from her. Thats why she hated them ment husband could not give all his attention to her and now she hates dogs with a passion... considering she is mentally ill (and was interned in a sanitarium) i personally think she is unfit to make any decision regarding any living thing.

I obvious don't know all the facts, why a great vet would take his life, probably due to his nut wife, been in and out of mental hospitals last few years.

The vet that was "friends" with her husband and co-admin to his will sickens me, but says shes stable enough to control his estate. Her brother is also a dog breeder and he came as well to pick up dogs with vet, she didn't come. Good plan to come near closing.

My wife said it was heartbreaking to see the dogs packed in cardboard boxes. Some of the dogs had buddies that they lived with since birth, just shoved in separate boxes. My wife said they went into a fit, a few chewed out. The vet states most the dogs aren't social enough to save, BS, in just a few days with people that loved them most turned around and doing well. This is what I hate with all shelters and most vets, a dog shows one sign of stress, trauma, down they go. The last dog pic I showed with the dog in my lap, that one growled at me anytime I opened his cage, but within two days the most loving social dog.

Too long to explain, we have a lil hope yet. The lady being a nut, the vet knows this. He said yesterday once he fulfilled her wishes and got the dogs to his office, she wouldn't know if he put the dogs down or not and that he would call us back and get us what dogs he could. The brother certainly will take the Chinese Cresteds to his breeding mill, which is worse than death.
Maybe we'll save a few more yet, but I think it was a mere ploy by the vet to get the dogs without causing a riot.

GREAT NEWS, we can pick up most the dogs from the vet. He did put down a few of the old ones.

We really need a list of what is and isn't because there are so many global variations, and words that are offensive that aren't proscribed...but that's for another topic entirely.
Send yourself a PM. If the bot censors it then it's not allowed. Quite simple, really.

Just amazing that all the dogs had to be packed and hauled just to satisfy the lady they we're gonna be disposed of. Now, we got to go pack em back up and haul them all back.

Thankfully the nut lady flew to Atlanta to be with family. I hate I judged this vet, but he did play her game until he got control of the dogs. He says it doesn't matter now, he had her sign them all to him, he just lied about putting them down.

I'll try to post some pics later of the upcoming rescue....Hopefully they'll all be in loving homes in a few weeks.:yeah:

The best perk is that you got to whack the crazy woman for some money first.:up: And there's more than one way to skin a crazy woman.:D

:D That certainly is great news, Armistead. :D

Just as long as she never finds out or there'll be litigation somewhere, probably for the vet.

Good news...much better than at first feared :sunny:

Vet says he has it covered legally. Hopefully he' a good man, but he knew of the big stir coming if he put them down, now he's turned it to his advantage and will be good media for him. Now he's a hero, instead of a zero!

Yes, my mother-in-law has already picked up Ole Buna. He'll be wrapped up in her arms all night....:huh:

Yea, even Takeda made it, thanks to having one good eye and enough teeth to chew. I was amazed, being possible the ugliest dog ever, he had numerous hits of people wanting to home him.

This happy ending would not have happened if there were not people like you who simply gave a crap about these dogs. :up::up:

People like you almost make people like me like people.

Great news! Not perfect, but still great.
Earlier this afternoon I was simply speechless with the dreadfull news of the dogs being shoved into boxes to be taken to death row. Luckily I had projects to take my mind away from this issue.

My wife and friends get all the credit, I just do as I'm told. I did go pick them up at the vet, real nice guy.

[fireftr18]

Great news. Really glad to hear that. :D
Again, not much more to say. :woot::woot:

[fireftr18]

In the spirit of the news, I think it's time for a signature change.
How about, "Their in their bars, drinking, celebrating our sinking! Not yet my friends, not yet!"
:salute:

[Armistead]

The gals really worked Takeda over, bath, shave and a nice new hair style, even his last 6 teeth cleaned up fairly well. Amazing how a makeover can totally change your look, rather handsome dog now.

He'll be off to his new home tomorrow..
