Do any of you have prayer requests??

[ramanth]

Why is play bowing illegal?! I don't get that. I get Kia and Chipper to play bow to me all the time and they've done it to kids that want to wrestle. Maybe I better check the local laws.

Many more prayers for those that need it and for darling Mac. *HUGS*

[Cinder & Smoke]

Why is play bowing illegal?!

"Play Bows" are prolly OK ...

"Kid Tipping" is prolly *frowned upon*.

And then *Grabbing* the lil Kid's jacket hood and *towing him around like a bobsled*
was no doubt pushing a good thing a bit too far.

HOPEFULLY not a Major Crime against the Crown and Humanity.

Oh my, I'm just now seeing this about Mac. Glacier, you and Mac are most definitely in my thoughts and prayers. Give that boy a hug from me please!

[Glacier]

The AC guy left a little while ago. He was very nice. He said he'd never had anyone provide him a written statement. I typed one out yesterday. That threw him a bit.

There is apparently a bite mark on the kid's buttock. The skin isn't broken, more like a bruise shaped like teeth. I didn't see Mac do that, but I can't deny he might have.

This guy has no authority to make a final decision. He just collects the information. That kinda works in my favor, or it could anyway. The guy who makes the final decision knows us well on a personal level.

I asked what he thought might happen. He initially said "not much" due to the fact that Mac has no history with AC. There's never been a complaint of any kind about any of my dogs before this. He said he would consider this a fairly minor incident in the grand scheme of things, but that a dangerous dog designation is possible. He did say that he could not see a euthansia order for this. Much of what happens depends on what the victim wants. If they are satisfied with a fine or other more minor punishment, then that's what the AC department will do.

I have to file a seperate complaint about her dog, if I want to pursue that. I'm not going to. That's just going to make things worse.

It will likely be late next week before any decision is reached.

Glad the guy was nice - and you providing a written statement makes you look even better, if you know what I mean.

This week might seem to take forever - but remember that all the AC people are on your side, and on Mac's!

Hopefully the woman will calm down, and not demand anything stupid.

You're in the good here. Prayers comin' your way!

How is Tehya feeling now?

[ramanth]

Andy got the job! Call came shortly after my last post but we were heading out to meet his parents. Orientation is Saturday and he can start as soon as he wants. He'll put in his two weeks notice tomorrow.



Thanks for all the prayers!

I don't think she's worked up at all. Probably calmer than I would be if the situation was reversed! It wasn't even her that called AC. It was a friend of her husband's who made the first report. Her husband is out of town until Friday night. She left me a very nice message tonight, perfectly calm, said she just wanted to know how things were going for me since "the incident". I'm going to call her back tomorrow. I'd really like her to come over here and meet Mac when he's acting like Mac!

Tehya is fine. Her foot is still a little swollen, but she's walking normally, harassing Chum and basically acting like she always does. She has enjoyed a couple nights of big bed snuggles!

[Cinder & Smoke]

THANKS for *sittin in*, God!!

Well ... all things considered, I'd say it sounds like the interview went pretty well!

Maybe a little plush Husky cuddle toy sent to The lil Kid from Mac might help
to take the edge off things ... WITH a hand-written note from You.

Take a deep breath, {{{Hug}}} Mac, and {{{HuggA}}} Hubby.

We'll keep on Talking wiff God.


Butt ... if things get *tense ~ We'll head North in the Rescue Bus!

If she'll tell me where she lives tomorrow or if she wants to come here, I will definately have flowers and pressies for the little ones. There was a little girl with her as well who was not involved at all, but was pretty upset.

I have a place lined up for Mac if he needs to disappear. Doesnt' look like it'll be neccessary, but it's there in case.

What happened with the idea that the Kid's Mom was possibly willing to just
*forget* the whole incident and not press a complaint?

Did somebody *get to her* and change her mind?
Did YOU ever get to meet with her?

Is there still a possibility that she might speak up FOR Mac to lessen his penalties?

Could Mac adjust to Ohio?
How far is it to Whitehorse?

Oh, Tamara, I worried about you all night and this morning. What is a dangerous dog designation? And I have a huge problem with this whole thing being based on a first report that was filed by someone who wasn't even there. Could you give everybody some big hugs for me. I will meet the rescue bus in Ohio if push comes to shove!

[Glacier]

Oh, Tamara, I worried about you all night and this morning. What is a dangerous dog designation?

A dangerous dog designation means that Mac would have serious restrictions on his freedom. He could not be off my property unless he's on a five foot leash and muzzled.(I think he could still pull if he was wearing a basket muzzle) I would need to put signs at the entrance to my property warning that dangerous dog lives here. I might need to put a roof on one of the smaller pens. The rest of my fences already exceed the requirements for dangerous dog containment. I would have to register him with the city and permanently ID him. They want a tattoo, but I think his microchip might qualify. AC can check on him any time they want. If they find that I'm not meeting the requirements of containing a dangerous dog, if Mac is found loose off my property or if there is a second offence, they can immediately seize and euthanize him.

Pray for my grandfather, please. He was just moved to the ICU today. Please.

Congrats to Andy and his new job!



I was with Kimmy here about the play bow thing... till Phred posted this:

"Play Bows" are prolly OK ...

"Kid Tipping" is prolly *frowned upon*.

And then *Grabbing* the lil Kid's jacket hood and *towing him around like a bobsled*
was no doubt pushing a good thing a bit too far.

HOPEFULLY not a Major Crime against the Crown and Humanity.

Where did Glacier post that? I must have missed it. Unless that came from an e-mail or PM she sent you.

Glacier, I'm glad Mac doesn't have to go into hiding and that Tehya's foot is getting better.



Terry - My thoughts and prayers are with you and your upcoming surgery. I'm wishing you the best!

Rachel- Prayers for your grandfather!

And prayers for Mary!
