Dickinson County Sheriff's Office asking for public's help to solve another animal shooting.

On 8-21-2010 at approximately 1:03 PM, the Dickinson County Sheriff's Office responded to 2522 235th street, east of Milford, in reference to a dog that had been shot.

Trixie

My mom was near the Lloyd Center in Portland today and found a Pit
Bull puppy. She was wearing a collar that was much too tight, and she
was tied to a broken tree branch so tightly that she couldn't even
move but in a tiny circle. The fact that the branch was broken had her
concerned that somebody tried to hang her on purpose. The pup had no
water, and I guess it was a hot day today. She called the AC
non-emergency number stuck around for some time asking passersby about
her, and nobody knew where she came from. After nobody claimed her and
she didn't get a phone call back, she took the pup home. She couldn't
even untie her from the branch. She had to just take the collar off to
get her loose.

a child's perspective

To:

  Why do we love children?
  1) NUDITY
  I was driving with my three young children one warm summer evening when a
  woman in the convertible ahead of us stood up and waved. She was stark
  naked! As I was reeling from the shock, I heard my 5-year-old shout from
  the back seat, 'Mom, that lady isn't wearing a seat belt!'

  2) OPINIONS
  On the first day of school, a first-grader handed his teacher a note from
  his mother. The note read, 'The opinions expressed by this child are not
  necessarily those of his parents.'

  3) KETCHUP
  A woman was trying hard to get the ketchup out of the jar. During her
  struggle the phone rang so she asked her 4-year-old daughter to answer
  the phone. 'Mommy can't come to the phone to talk to you right now. She's
  hitting the bottle.'

  4) MORE NUDITY
  A little boy got lost at the YMCA and found himself in the women's locker
  room.. When he was spotted, the room burst into shrieks, with ladies
  grabbing towels and running for cover. The little boy watched in
  amazement and then asked, 'What's the matter, haven't you ever seen a
  little boy before?'

  5) POLICE # 1
  While taking a routine vandalism report at an elementary school, I was
  interrupted by a little girl about 6 years old. Looking up and down at my
  uniform, she asked, 'Are you a cop?' 'Yes,' I answered and continued
  writing the report. My mother said if I ever needed help I should ask the
  police. Is that right?' 'Yes, that's right,' I told her. 'Well, then,'
  she said as she extended her foot toward me, 'would you please tie my
  shoe?'

  6) POLICE # 2
  It was the end of the day when I parked my police van in front of the
  station. As I gathered my equipment, my K-9 partner, Jake, was barking,
  and I saw a little boy staring in at me. 'Is that a dog you got back
  there?' he asked.
  'It sure is,' I replied. Puzzled, the boy looked at me and then towards
  the back of the van. Finally he said, 'What'd he do?'

  7) ELDERLY
  While working for an organization that delivers lunches to elderly
  shut-ins, I used to take my 4-year-old daughter on my afternoon rounds.
  She was unfailingly intrigued by the various appliances of old age,
  particularly the canes, walkers and wheelchairs. One day I found her
  staring at a pair of false teeth soaking in a glass. As I braced myself
  for the inevitable barrage of questions, she merely turned and whispered,
  'The tooth fairy will never believe this!'

  8) DRESS-UP
  A little girl was watching her parents dress for a party. When she saw
  her dad donning his tuxedo, she warned, 'Daddy, you shouldn't wear that
  suit.'
  'And why not, darling?'
  'You know that it always gives you a headache the next morning.'

  9) DEATH
  While walking along the sidewalk in front of his church, our minister
  heard the intoning of a prayer that nearly made his collar wilt.
  Apparently, his 5-year-old son and his playmates had found a dead robin.
  Feeling that proper burial should be performed, they had secured a small
  box and cotton batting, then dug a hole and made ready for the disposal
  of the deceased.
  The minister's son was chosen to say the appropriate prayers and with
  sonorous dignity intoned his version of what he thought his father always
  said: 'Glory be unto the Father, and unto the Son, and into the hole he
  goes.' (I want this line used at my funeral!)

  10) SCHOOL
  A little girl had just finished her first week of school. 'I'm just
  wasting my time,' she said to her mother. 'I can't read, I can't write,
  and they won't let me talk!'

  11) BIBLE
  A little boy opened the big family Bible. He was fascinated as he
  fingered through the old pages. Suddenly, something fell out of the
  Bible. He picked up the object and looked at it. What he saw was an old
  leaf that had been pressed in between the pages.
  'Mama, look what I found,' the boy called out.
  'What have you got there, dear?'
  With astonishment in the young boy's voice, he answered, 'I think it's
  Adam's underwear!'

  NOW IF THIS DIDN'T BRIGHTEN YOUR DAY, GO BACK TO BED AND FORGET IT!

Don't Give Your Dogs Toys Designed for Children!

I know that a lot of people DO give their dogs stuffed animals made for kids. I know many buy them at thrift stores and garage sales as cheap toys for their dogs. But, perhaps it isn't such a safe thing to do.

I got this off the Malinois Listserv. The PS at the end was added by the person who forwarded it to the list after verifying the story themselves.

Subject: Re: Childrens' Toys May Be Dangerous for Dogs

Last night at agility class, a vet, who is a fellow agility student was telling us about a case she had this week. The dog ate a child's teddy bear and was very sick. When she opened the dog up to remove what she thought was an intestinal obstruction she found a huge gelatin type mess inside and the dogs intestines were black and the tissue dead. The dog will die no surgery can fix him up there was no living intestine left from stomach to colon. 


This was not an obstruction..... so she called the manufacturer of the Teddy Bear on a quest to find out what the gel was and what killed the dog. Turns out the stuffing in children's toys contains ingredients for flame retardants and mite control! It is designed to be come a gel. It is highly toxic. Now you would think a child's toy would be safe because it is for children, but they don't expect a child to eat the stuffing of the toys... huummmm that seems a bit scary too. But we all know dogs demolish stuffed toys. 

So do not give or buy your dog any children's stuffed animals... some people get them at goodwill etc. The vet will be posting a warning and story and I will send any other facts as needed and as I learn more. Maybe some children's toys do not have this ingredient, but better to be safe then sorry. So meanwhile, make sure all your dog toys are for dogs. Please pass this on... it is a horrible death she described and one that can be avoided.

P.S. I contacted this person to make sure it wasn't a hoax and she assured me it wasn't.  She said the vet who operated on the dog is Sandra Tuoninen, DVM in Northern MN and gave me her email address. Her research found that it looks like the chemical is to discourage bacterial growth and is also found in some comforters and bedspreads.

DINNER 

A cannibal was walking through the jungle and came upon a restaurant operated by a fellow cannibal.  Feeling somewhat hungry, he sat down and looked over the menu.

Tourist:  $5
Broiled Missionary:  $7
Fried Explorer:  $9
Freshly Baked Republicans and Democrats:  $150

The cannibal called the waiter over and asked, 'Why such a huge price difference for the politicians?

'The cook replied, 'Have you ever tried to clean one?  They're so full of shit, it takes all morning.'
