Just as rules are made to be broken, plans are made to be cancelled or changed. Nothing I had planned out this past weekend worked out for me....but meh...'Que sera, sera' right?

The radio show got postponed until next month because one of the turntables broke and it couldn't be fixed in time. I'll keep you all posted.

There is a current matter that is far more important and requires far more attention than anything else right now. Here goes...

My best friend Mindy has a 'mutt' named Casey. On Friday morning, a mean neighbor, who doesn't like any dog no matter how sweet they are, decided to file a report on Casey. It turns out that Casey's leash came undone when she was going to say hi to this lady. She started smacking Casey in the face to try and get her away so Casey nipped her in the butt. Since Casey was registered as a 'Pitt Bull', (which we've recently discovered that she is not), and there are new breed specific legislations in place against pitt bulls, there is the possibility that she will be taken away from her loving home and placed in a kennell for observation. When I say observation, it basically means that they are going to observe her behaviour and decide whether or not to have her put down. I am extremely confident in saying this WILL NOT happen.

FIRST of all, how would you react to a lady smacking you in the face?

Now you have to understand Casey. In her four years in this cruel world, she's never been put in a kennell, she's always been in the comfort of her home. She's been bit by 4 or 5 other dogs and has never bitten back. She's such a suck that she sleeps with her parents every night. She's been away from them no more than a total of two weeks in her entire life. So this brings me to my point...

Second of all, how do you think a puppy such as Casey would react being locked up in a kennel, being 'observed' by a bunch of strangers, and having a bunch of other dogs barking all around her?

So needless to say we've got a battle on our hands. Since I'm aunt Wendy, I've had the pleasure of having Casey over at my place for the time being. And since the roommate is a completely irrational, uncompassionate, paranoid ball of stress, having Casey over has been a battle on it's own.

Good thing there have been many more people who want to help and show support than not.

Here's a picture of the mutter, formerly known as the pitter.

Casey Madison and Shadow, three truly amazing dogs.
