Court Case In Atlanta For Horrific Puppy Torture Case

There is a case in the court system currently where two teenage boys have been accused of torturing a small puppy by (among other things) cooking it live in a gas oven. Following are some snips from the article about the case. "Jurors recoiled in horror and wiped their eyes Thursday as prosecutors produced a series of grisly photos of a tiny puppy tortured and then killed in a gas oven...The blood stained oven showed showed scratch marks on the door and walls, indicating that the young dog - it's mouth and feet duct taped - struggled before it died...Beige paint also covered the puppy and the inside of the oven, a final act of cruelty before the animal was tossed into the stove..." The puppy was only 3 months old. (as if age makes a difference in the effect of paint, tape, cooking while live). This is a horrific case and I'm sooooo glad I didn't get called to be on the jury for this one. If I had I'm sure that they would have releived me of my duties pretty quickly because #1 I am a petsitter; #2 I think who ever is guilty should receive the same punishment as they dished out and #3 I would have jumped from the jury box and choked the shit out of the little punk bastards who were found guilty. All good reasons for the defense to decide against me as a juror.

The Buddy and Rocky Challenge

Today I am watching TBLJ's dogs Buddy and Rocky. It's a crazy situation. My cats Samson and Delila are just about 3 months old which makes them just big enough to think they're tuff and just small enough to be curious about things still. Samson is as curious as he can be about both of the dogs and each time they hold still he sneaks up on them to get a good whiff of them. He reaches out and touches Buddy's paw-nose,tail. When Buddy passes by Samson reaches out for him with his nose. The dogs are sniffing the cats and the cats are sniffing the dogs. Poor Rocky the min pin has been getting stalked the entire evening and now he's hiding under Buddy's blanket. He tried to hide in his own little bed and the cats kept sneaking up to sniff his butt because it was sticking out so I had to squirt them and ended up getting a little on him. He and Buddy are already afraid of the squirt bottle because the cats are getting punished with it and they think it is something I would use to punish them too. Now that the cats are more comfortable with the dogs I have to figure out how to get the dogs comfortable with the cats. Samson thinks Buddy's ears are a great toy and keeps trying to flip them and Buddy is doing pretty well at keeping himself calm. It has been 2 and a half hours and things are just now beginning to calm down. The cats are playing and the dogs are laying around nibbling on their chew sticks. We'll see how long it lasts.
