How Ironic Is This ~ Hope and Lennox ~ Worlds Apart And Yet In Common (24)

Yeah I'm in NJ. I know you're five hours ahead of me. Did I say it backwards? May I ask what in the world are you doing on the computer at 3:00 a.m. That's too personal...I shouldn't have asked that. I'm batting zero tonight. .My old eyes are so tired I can hardly keep them open. I don't know how you can stay up so late Glen.

Glen...."It's very late here but much later over dere across the pond." I thought I said it correctly. It's much LATER over there across the pond. Right?

Tell me about it!!!! If I go to bed early these days I don't sleep and then I get annoyed, which delays sleep even longer.....

And on that note, I'm going to hit the hay

Me too. G'nite..

$35000 reward hey

It was me and i dont regret it one bit so when can i get the money


On a good note from the lennox trial

People with them child murdering dogs now know that we the public and the goverment elected by the people for the people will no longer tolerate this kind of blatent behaviour from irresponsible owners

Its like going into the I C U ward and saying hey sick people i can do what i like and turn your machines off cos i dont care about rules or you..
another example is to maim people for sport esspecially innocent young children who cant defend themselves and say oh by my dog which is bred to kill doesnt normally attack innocent babies

so in conclusion they are baby killers owned by people who want to murder people in hospitals

Can i still have the cash

Instead of banning people we should ban dog threads for a while , let everyone cool down - Agree to disagree etc. As in most discussion there are two sides with each side believing fervently in their own point of view. I don't think anyone of this argument is going to be converted. So as often being posted before sometimes it is best to walk away from a disintegrating argument that is causing a bit of friction on the forums. So until the next healthy discussion on the forum to all those on the opposite side of the argument to me. Though credit due to Whitepaws sometimes he is so outrageous he makes me :laugh

"When I read the story I thought, if this happened in Ireland there probably wouldn't have been any discussion about giving this dog medical treatment. It most likely would have been destroyed (but I might be wrong on that)"

Lennox's fate was decided in Belfast, which is one of the six counties or 'states' that is still ruled by Britain, the other 26 counties or 'states' is known as the Republic of Ireland. The Republic of Ireland had no say in Lennox's fate no more than Germany or France would have.

The six counties, of which Belfast is a part of, is still ruled by Britain (despite geographically being on the island of Ireland) is now governed by the Northern Executive, of which the Republic of Ireland has no input.

I got my dog nearly three years ago from the pound. She was so unwell. Infections in both ears, the mange, cigarette burns all over her, fleas, everything, but she also couldn't walk, they thought she'd been locked in a small space for a long time.

For the first six weeks she lived under my kitchen table, she wouldn't come out of there, I also lived under there with her cos it was the only way of interacting with her, feed her, give her medications, give her my some form of physio to get her joints going, just being with her etc. I could have taken her out of there, but that was where she felt safe.

The only time she moved from there was when I went to bed she went crazy to get upstairs at lights out, and not only did she have to sleep at the side of my bed, but I had to leave my hand hanging over the edge and all through the night she constantly licked my hand and got very distressed if my hand wasn't there.

I never experienced pins and needles and dead arm syndrome, if it exists as much as I did at that time.

At the sight of any man she just went the toilet straight away and would tremble, I know she was taken off a Traveller family, along with a pit bull who was also in a state from fighting. She had just had pups but did not get to do the milking and all the other stuff that goes with that, but that is all I know.

She's doing great now, she is so happy, it probably took a full six month intense nurturing to get her to a good place, although sometimes I wonder does she still remember her two years of hell, I got her when she was two.

I would hate to think that she does, and I really hope she doesn't. The only time I see it is when I give her a shower she trembles like she used to, no matter how soft I talk to her, so I just hope this is normal for all dogs and that she can't remember her early years.

And you know the best thing out of it all, she doesn't shed. When I saw her in the pound she looked so sad, I knew I had to take her, but she was so hairy and looked so big, I was dreading it because she had so much hair, and I wanted a small dog, but it was just because she'd probably not been groomed ever, but I didn't know that at the time, but when the groomer finished with her I couldn't believe how much smaller she was and no shedding, that was a great surprise.

Aw I tried to send you a photo of her montmonte but your settings don't allow it I think, never mind
