Bad Owner

SSDD, folks. Little dogs aren't safe at offleash dog parks now, due specifically to this breed of dog running around and the chronically irresponsible owners that usually have them. ******************************* <i>April 24th, Grape St. Dog Park: Papi's Pug Friend, Vico Killed at Grape St. Park Yes, this just made my Papi and Coco very upset. So on behalf of the owner, Jennifer, we are reporting what happened for them: The adorable pug Vico was killed at the park on sat. He the one that loves to chase his little ball and gave high fives with his smushy face. He was first attacked by a Pitbull that locked on to him and then a couple of labs jumped in to finish the job. One of the labs was big and black and someone had stated the he has been aggressive before with many other dogs. Anyway I am just devastated and Jennifer, Vicos mama, is so very upset. I know you have a lot of contacts at the park and Jennifer is looking for the dogs that killed Vico so she can try to hopefully prevent it from happening again. I promised her I would check to see if anyone knew anything. Vico Rest in Peace. Here is the Craigs List Notice: Sat 24th Dog Attack - Help Date: 2010-04-26, 2:29PM My sister's pug was attacked and killed by a small (possibly young) gray pit bull this last saturday April 24th at the Grape Street Dog Park in the early afternoon. After the pit attacked, two other dogs (possibly Labs) jumped into the attack also causing serious injuries. After the dogs were seperated and wihile my sister was attending to her dog, everyone fled with their dogs. She is now left with a huge vet bill and a has lost her dog. We believe the pit bull may have been female and that the male owner of the dog may have just got it a few weeks ago from a shelter and has frequented the park over the last couple weeks. Please email if you have any ideas or information on tracking down this irresponsible pet owner. Thanks.</i> ******************** The above was posted by Jennifer's brother Matt, who a few days ago informed me that he was able to track down the owner of the pit bull, who coughed up the money for Vico's vet bills. -- AG There was another attack by a WHITE pit bull on a little dog in a Shelter Island dog park (not sure where this is -- perhaps associated with a hotel?) in the last couple weeks as well. I communicated with that owner via email but am not able to fish it out at this moment. That dog did survive, but the vet bills were huge. The attacking dog is described as a white pit bull that "looked like a pig." The pit bull owner's response was that it was the woman's fault for bringing her small dog to an offleash dog park. He is described as Hispanic. I'll say it again: Small dogs are not safe at offleash dog parks. If you take your small dog to one, you need to collect it and leave as soon as the pit bulls show up. It only takes a moment for your precious little guy to lose his life. :(

At The 99

What a sweet little blog post, Cuddles. :) Up here, we have Dollar Tree. http://www.dollartree.com/home.jsp I go there at least every other week. It's where my paper towels, TP, garbage bags, and cleaning products come from. Also good for things like deoderant (yes, it works!), deoderant soap, and movie contraband. :) My FAVORITE thing that's come from Dollar Tree up here are my stemware -- some great wine glasses with purple stems, and margarita glasses with green saguaro stems. Beautiful.
