Do any of you have prayer requests??

[Cinder & Smoke]

THANKS for *sittin in*, God!!

The AC guy left a little while ago. He was very nice.

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.

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

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?

Best I can figure out, it's about 2600 miles. Maybe you all could mush and meet in the middle

The father came home. He is much more aggressive. He firmly believes Mac should be put down. I have spoken to the Mom several times and to the Dad once. I have no doubt that the push for a dangerous dog designation is coming from him.

AC here doesn't usually issue anything until they the agreement of the "victim". I assume that the officer told them about the fine and dd and they agreed. The only way for them to have more input now would be if I don't pay the ticket and take the matter to court. Frankly, I don't want to do that. Not only would it cost me thousands, but it could blow up in my face. The judge would have the authority to revoke any accomodations made by AC and order Mac's death. I'll take muzzled, on a one metre leash and all the other requirements over dead.

I'll be speaking to the manager of the by-law department this week. I have ten days to voluntarily pay the fine. I'm hoping we can work out some kind of comprimise before that.

Correct me if I am wrong - But - father was not present at the time this happened? It was you, the child and his mother? Why does father get to weigh in if he was not even there? All he knows is what was told to him. Mac is NOT dangerous.

I'd be willing to speak on your behalf if you want to give me this person's name and number (or address). Any chance we can get you re-zoned so you are outside municipal limits?

Because the victim was a very young child who is unable to speak for himself, the opinions of both parents are considered in the determination. Doesn't matter if he was there or not. His child was involved so they have to get his input.

No chance at rezoning. I am already given a special permit to keep my dogs at all. If I was buying my property today, I could only have four dogs there, six if all my neighbors agreed. I was there before that rule came into effect so my dogs are grandfathered. I can not move them off my property within the city. I have to leave the city if I want to move and keep my dogs. Another musher can not buy my property.

Our plan is to move outside the city eventually, but the market is insane here right now. It is extremely difficult to find any property with some acreage that is dog team friendly(even outside the city limits, many areas ban dog teams) and that has a reasonable purchase price. A half million dollar mortgage is just not going to happen!

I don't want to have anyone else contact the department right now. If I end up in court, I will be looking for letters ect for support!
