Breaking News!!!!

On the front page of Today's New Haven Register News Paper is an article about the upcoming law suit filed against Melvin Pond and Central Animal Hospital! Apparently their careless behavior killed another veterinarians dog who basically drowned to death and had a sponge left in its abdomen. I am more than willing to help this case as I have the Connecticut Board of Health investigating Dr pond as of DEC 2008. I am so happy to know that justice will be served and that these deeds will go punished as they should this is a banner day for me and the Beebs. I will try and contact the attorney representing the plaintiff in the case. Please go to the papers web sight and read the article...it was only a matter of time when this would happen.
These are the very same culprits in Mr Beebs demise and if they feel anywhere near the anguish , heart ache and pain we have felt in these last 3 years it would be a step in the right direction as far as I'm concerned. I will cheer the day justice is served.

Not great lately

Poor old Beebs is having alot of trouble with his back end these days. he can hardly maneuver to poop or pee and is very unstable. i have taken him for acupuncture and chiro recently and hope it will help him. He is still very alert and eats and plays with his toys. Its very upsetting to see him struggle to move around. I was afraid that back leg would be brutalized after the amputation and I was unfortunately correct. That was why i had held off on the amputation for so long. If he can't stand himself at 90 pounds and will not use his wheel chair.....
I'm praying the treatments put life and energy back into his hind quarters I dread with all my heart what may come if I can't. He is still so happy and vibrant....he wants to live.

Back on Anti biotics

Oh well here we go again. Mr Beebs has had a difficult time walking once again and Sydney has taken to sniffing his penis which has always indicated something going on in that region.The vet says prostate infections can be chronic and given scar tissue in which to hide very difficult or impossible to kill. So back on cephalexin....a moderate to low dose enough to remove any pain he is experiencing from that infected gland.When Sydney stops drawing my attention to the area I will know its at bay. My dog Sydney with his awesome ability at sniffing out trouble is my best diagnostician! He has sniffed out numerous problems before and has been right on the money.
Besides all that I am busy reading legislative law books and animal advocacy research so I can get my game plan focused. I need to do this before school starts so that I devote the time I need to my studies and getting me that much closer to my political science diploma. I have a good feeling about 2009, in spite of the fact that my sister of 48 years is fighting off liver cancer at the moment. In many ways these tribulations have made me appreciate time and its rapid motion forward even more. We don't get it back so I want to treat every day with purpose. That's my new motto! Make it count Lori!

I feel change in the air...

I'm doing my homework for my beautiful dogs and everyone elses in Ct. No pet should have to be put down because there has been negligence, complications, or any other disaster that is no fault of the pet or its guardian I was just reading a case in CT in which these poor people had their vet work on an enormous hernia on their dog.The vet was not well versed in this procedure and the dog began swelling and the vet dismissed this as a natural occurance.The issue went on and on and the vet couldn't admit they were over their head basically.In the end after the owners begged to have the vet do something the dog went into shock and had to be put down.The vet had sliced into a vascular area and the dog literally internally bled to death. The CT AVMA suspended the vets license and the vet had to pay them $1000 in a fine. In the meantime the people who loved that dog payed all kinds of fee's to save their dog from this vets surgery and what they got is an I'm sorry. Tell their hearts that....
How can this be reasonable in this day and age? I was stunned reading the report and realized just what I am up against.'The cake and eat it too crowd."Not all vets by any stretch...because my personal vets saved my dog and I would do nothing to harm them or any other decent practitioner. However I can't help but see the injustice in taking the best care you can of your companion and yet the practitioner shares virtually no responsibility when they injure or bring about the death of your pet, leaving you and your family sobbing and asking why? No one sobs over the loss or damage to a table or chair ...maybe some do...but I suspect most see these beautiful creatures (our pets) as a blessing in our lives, no less than a family member. A being present in all our holiday photographs...after all we name them, we celebrate every new moment in our lives with them.Good or bad. How can it be that they share the same worth as a table or chair? Maybe for some...a very , very small percentage of people, but by and large the people I have come to know here at home and the nice people that continue to ask about Mr Beebs from states far and wide years after this disaster started. Ilove my dogs...and the law in 2009 does not reflect that reality.I am not alone .Todays animal law is a misplaced reality that must evolve if it is to measure who we trully are in 2009.
My dogs are not less...they are just different.

Todays the day!

After 2 and a half years of grief I will formally make a claim against the surgeon who caused this heartache for Mr Beebs and myself since 2006.I will file a formal complaint and notify the Director of grievances at the Ct medical association. I can't wait to nail this guy and the filthy hospital where this nightmare began. I'm ready now. I'm also going to start a web sight called "Companion or property, Guardian or owner".I need to recruit voters in Ct so that my bill for legislation will have backbone and bite. I'm excited and can't wait to protect animals and their people from abusive situations! Here's to a banner 2009 for all the animal lovers and thier friends.
