    I got home to barrage of messages from the neighbor and animal control. My legal aid spoke with the cat lady and animal control and they said if I agree to pay $500 they wouldn't pursue it any further. My LA did her homework, she showed how I'm in no way responsible, that according to the by-laws there is no way I can be legally responsible, in my county there is no BSL in effect/affect,there is NO law about removing a dog etc... and then she told the ac officer if she so much as looks in my general direction she would have her job for basically lying and trying to bully me, of course she said it in much more legal terms, but that was the jist. The only thing that kind of back fired was I did agree to pay vet bills when the "attack" first happened, I was in shock, and I felt bad for her. In the end I only had to pay $250 out of the $1,100 bill and Lady gets to come home safe and sound. It's a good day.

    I'm so glad this had a happy ending! And I hope that three-legged cat is kept indoors now. I will never believe Lady had anything to do with the cat's broken leg. It makes no sense (and I know cats).

    I have all ready told her on Facebook but I am so happy this had a happy ending. Both Alty and Bella know of all the stories I have shared and fought for that ended with the dog being murdered. My heart has been heavy and felt like giving up.
    Thank you Bella for allowing us to help with advice for you and be a part of this happy ending. Lady I am happy you are safe and you are now a cog in the wheel to end this threat to bully breeds.
    Woot woot woot woot. Happy dance time for Bella and her family!

    GREAT news, particularly on Monday morning.

    Group hug, group hug. (People and animals)

    Woo-Hoo, Oh, Happy Day.
    Scared of the happy dance, I'm clumsy.
    But this is great news.

    I'm happy too. My la had a few letters from the obedience trainer as well I'm sure that helped as well. I'm thinking about taking the written threats from mr. cat lady to the police, just in case something does happen to lady, but I'm thinking I should quit while I'm a head.

    Don't worry my la has copies of all the messages.

    Well, and the even BETTER news is that if I ever get an assignment in NS that involves a dog that jumped a fence and may or may not have broken a cat's leg, which may or may not have been witnessed, the cat which may or may not have dog "marks" on its body - I have my questions all prepared!

    I'm smiling - what good news for a Monday.

    Great news! So happy. This is very good news.

    I'm here for the group hug. Where did everyone go? I showered! I don't smell! Really! Come back!

    Ben ate all the nachos. How about some stale pretzels I found in my purse?

    Ben ate the nachos? First no toaster, now no nachos!

    Not fair! I don't like pretzels.

    I say we go somewhere else, and leave Ben behind with the stale pretzels. :)

    Ben! Look! Pretzels! Go get them!

    Run everyone! I want nachos! Meet you at the Canuck bar and grill up the street. When we're done eating the nachos we'll call Ben and tell him where we are, but not before then.

    Now run!

    I have never seen a three legged cat.

    Anyway, so glad Bella and lady, you have the ultimate closure. Happy days are here again for you two !

    Thank you all for the overwhelming support, it's amazing to know that people still care. It was very scary thinking I might loose my fur baby, I was so stressed out for last two weeks. I couldn't have asked for a better ending. Thank you all.

    I'll take celebratory poutine :)

    OMG! Only the best thing ever!

    It's french fries, with cheese curds, covered in gravy. So very yummy! So very bad for you. But totally worth every single bite. :)

    There are people who have not had poutine.. in Calgary there is a restaurant that's menu is based off poutine. OMG so yummy but not healthy for me :(

    Poutine is a heart attack waiting to happen. I will settle for French fries and gravy !

    Very true Tickle though it does taste good. My body has been making me aware that because something tastes good it is not good for me. I have been eating better and when I go back to "junky food" I suffer the next day with stomach pains and worse.
  • Aug 7, 2012, 01:41 PM

    Tickle, I agree. It is a heart attack on a plate, but damn, if I'm going to die, I'd like to die happy, and poutine makes me very happy. :)

    'poo-teen'

    Or is it kind of like the Jawas 'poo-tee-nee' (madatory high pitched voice)

    Am I saying it right? eitherway doesn't sound that appetising.

    Judy, it does look horrible, but really, it's heaven on a plate! So very good.

    I'm drooling on my keyboard. Can we stop talking about poutine? Not fair! I don't have fries, gravy, or the right cheese. I can't make some right now, and I'm craving it like a meth addict craves meth. I want poutine!

    I'll change the topic. Coconuts. They're neither cocoa, or nuts. Discuss. :)

    LOL!

    If you pronounce it the french way, and it is french, it's "puts in".

    Now stop it! I'm dying here! I want poutine!

    Hmmm, Coconuts, wonder how they taste with cheese curds and gravy?

    Ok, (hangs head in shame)
    It looks absolutely disgusting, however french fries with gravy is a big thing where I'm from, no cheese curd.
    I saw it described as "a heart attack in a bowl" on one site, and you could only get it in Canada, so I am safe. But I must say I would at least try it.

    It look like it could be soggy, mushy.
  • Aug 7, 2012, 02:54 PM
    Alty
    The first time I saw it I thought "That's disgusting". But when you eat it, you're hooked. It is sooooooo good!

    Really, you guys are mean. I'm literally drooling here! I'm ready to hop in my car, drive downtown to get the best poutine I've ever had, and I really don't want to do that during rush hour!

    Coconuts! Talk about coconuts! I don't like coconuts! :)

    I wonder if adding pieces of chicken or even lobster would make it taste even better. Or lamb. Or shrimp. It's close to suppertime and I'm hungry.

    I wonder if it's available in the Rochester, NY area. I should visit my mom one of these days.

    La, la, la, la, not listening to poutine talk!

    I'm not feeling the love! Evil people! Pure evil I tell you!

    Just mean.

    Nasty mean.

    Someone get me poutine. I can't be held responsible for what I say or do on AMHD because I'm being teased with talk of poutine! I will not be held accountable.

    You're all to blame for whatever I post today. Be afraid. Be very afraid. ;)
