a little YAY!

i'm not going to go into the horrid details but i've been trying on and off since spring to have a dog removed from a neighbor for neglect and mental abuse. every time the guy lied and was let off the hook. finally, last thursday, a cold and rainy day, i called again. they got the first hand proof they needed and the dog was confiscated (with the help of the sheriff's department).

so, a huge weight has been lifted from me and the dog is warm, dry and fed properly at last. hopefully he will feel the human kindness that does exist, either from a new home, or in the event he is not adopted out for whatever reason, then at least a loving touch for the time he has left.

the tears i'm shedding as i write this are for happiness and relief.
