Are You Friggin' KIDDING Me?
Hey, this is to the editors of the Philadelphia Daily News who gave their photographers and graphics department the OK to run today's front page headline. A picture of Vick on the field with the words "Top Dog" superimposed in bold letters. You sensationalist pieces of pond scum. You knew taking this action would infuriate the animal lovers in this city, that your take on this would be viewed as a completely insensitive slap in the face, a totally tasteless commentary on the state of "athletes" these days. You KNEW we would be furious, and you decided to trample all over our ideals anyway. Well, screw you and your publication.. I will never shell out my money for your paper, not that I did to begin with - you've just effectively guaranteed no future sales as far as I'm concerned.
Andy Reid is an idiot - Micheal Vick is a felon, a criminal who repeatedly tortured, fought and killed dogs over a span of several years. Yes, he did his time for that.. But he doesn't deserve the accolades these rabid Eagles fans have been giving him. And for you, the crazed football hicks in this city who keep telling me "he deserves a second chance, he did his time, let it go." You, who can't seem to get the facts straight when you tell me he was never found guilty of actually laying a hand on any of those dogs, while it's been public knowledge he admitted to doing just that (only after his friends gave him up.) To you, I give an epic middle finger... I flip you the biggest bird you've ever seen. Indeed Michael Vick is the equivalent of that - Philly's biggest flipped bird, not the "top dog" everyone's been making him out to be.

Yes I can
Wow, early in the morning I'm due to start grooming academy. After all this time I'm finally gonna be doing something worthwhile, getting more hours in a fulltime shift and subsequently making decent money in the process. I'll finally be able to get the important things back in my life.

2 Dogs STARVED TO DEATH in Crates in Garage 6/22/2010
By Laura Catterton

Pensacola, FL ~2 DOGS STARVED TO DEATH IN CRATES IN GARAGE 6/22! OMG! I went to the Escambia Co. Sheriff's Office this morning to get the police reports, not knowing the details of why 2 people were arrested for Third Degree FELONY Animal Cruelty Charges. I was horrified to read the report. From the police report: “As we exited our vehicles and began to approach the house we smelled a strong odor that seemed to be emanating from the house….I shined my flashlight inside (the garage) and observed 3 wire kennels and inside two of them I observed what appeared to be 2 dead and decomposing dogs. One of the animals had been decomposed to the point that I was able to see bare ribs.”
Please contact the media about this if you can.

Parvo Puppies in Dire Need
I have posted this all over my Facebook page: This is a chip-in for my very dear friend Sherrie Brinn Green in Cape May, NJ. Last night she found out the litter of puppies she rescued recently from Robeson County, NC animal shelter has Parvo, after rushing the two most dire pups to an after-hours emergency vet clinic who told her that it would cost $2500 per pup...py to keep and fully treat them. Since she didn't have the money, she took them back home, after these two got injections and some meds. First thing this morning she called her regular vet to find out how much it would be to treat them there. After hours of waiting for a return call, she called them again and was told her regular vet would not treat them, as Parvo is an extremely contagious virus. She is now left on her own to save these puppies. Home remedies and some good advice, along with other meds she has to administer on her own. Some of these meds aren't cheap. If you have it in your heart, please try and help these puppies. They're refusing to eat or drink... they will not last much longer without treatment.

Animal Legal Defense Fund : Expose Animal Abusers
It's about time! I've been pushing for similar use of an online database that to me is one of the most comprehensive collection of animal abusers. The only problem is that the owner of the website, http://www.pet-abuse.com states that there is no law making it mandatory for every convicted abuser to be placed on the database. Let's change this NOW, starting with your signature on this petition.

Injured Pigeon Abandoned on Roof
Something is seriously wrong with a justice system that lets off animal abusers with nothing more than a slap on the wrist (if even that) and harshly penalizes anyone with a shred of decency who acts as a rescuer. WTF is wrong with Pennsylvania? PLENTY... and it's time to change that.

Resolutions, anyone?
The first one I can think of - off the top of my head is to return to blogging on a regular basis. I've ignored my blogs for quite some time and I think I need to at least start putting something down on the screen.

Am I ranting? (Language)
Am I ranting? Fuck yes... and I have every right to.
I'd like to let it be known that my reason for leaving my place of employment wasn't seen in a good light by the person I had the conversation with. I was asked to give A reason, so I gave the latest of many reasons. When asked to elaborate, I was cut short. Nothing new there, I expected as much.
During several prior and subsequent conversations it was repeatedly brought up that my company loyalty was lacking. Excuse me? One wants to question company loyalty, one needs to take into consideration the fact that not very damn many people would spend a 4-hour daily commute and $200 a month in bus fare just to get back and forth to work for the better part of a year. No where else, just to and from work. If I wanted to go anywhere else, I'd have to either walk or pay extra fare.
Company loyalty? In five years, I only called out once.. And that was because I stressed out to the max with an effin' migrain because of what all was going on.
Let it also be known that it was not my decision to leave one week short of my two-week notice. I was told to leave the day I asked for the next day off. It shouldn't matter what the reason was. It could have been for anything from a doctor's appointment, to some personal emergency. The point is, I could have taken the lazy way and just called out the next morning. Instead I took the high road and tried to give some kind of notice for it. For that I was told that it was the last straw.
Last Straw?
I've put up with plenty of "last straws." Let's see, there were the several times I was left nasty personal notes in the log book, all the times I pointed out unnecessary risks being taken in the workplace, all the times I came to someone in authority with a legitimate concern, only to be told that it's trivial personal bullshit. The times I've offered a solution to a problem that would have meant out-of-pocket expense to myself - again, only to be told that they misunderstood what I was saying. And isn't it funny that to another person standing there, having heard the entire conversation, what I said made perfect sense. I find that very interesting.
A "Last Straw" comes to mind when I went to verify some procedure that wasn't the regular practice, during a particularly busy time of day. I was completely cut short, talked down to, and later screamed at because "I was questioning someone's position." I would like to let it be known that Let it be known that every single day at work I've given 110% but on this particular day I gave 120% effort to help them prepare for an event. For that I deserved to be screamed at?
Excuse me, anyone else would have walked out long before that. But I didn't. And yet they cite "loyalty" or "personal dislike" or "not being able to keep my opinion to myself" or any number of things they might want to come up with.
The point is, one can only cut corners for so long before one hangs one's self with one's own rope. The reality is (its like an old friend always told me) "Greed'll get 'em every time."

So how was YOUR day?
I'm getting to where I really hate working on Saturdays. Come to think of it, I'm really starting to hate the place I work more and more these days - A little more on that a bit later.
The day started out ok when I left the house, caught the first bus to the El. It was even ok on the train - till I got to Center City. I hadn't taken even five steps toward the Dunkin Donuts for my favorite coffee, when someone I passed on the sidewalk says "Hey, you got an extra cigarrette?" I gave him the one I was smoking and let him think it was my very last one - like the guilt is really gonna kill somebody like that. Then after getting my coffee, and was heading back out the door to the bus stop, this lady comes in and right away hits me up for 50 cents. I pull out a bunch of change... then she says "You got a dollar?" No effin' way - "I gave ya 50 cents." I've really had it. I'm sick of these assholes thinking people like me owe them $1.50 just because they happen to see me in a place of business. Let them commute two effin' hours and spend $10 a damn day just to get back and forth to work.
It didn't get much better from there either. When I got into work, there was a nice little note waiting for me from the evening kennel tech. "I cleaned the kitten cages, the ones that were in holding. I also cleaned their ears, which were very nasty. PLEASE clean their ears again tomorrow and clean them more often in the future." ..... Like I don't? Get f-in' real. I do more in one hour than this girl does her entire shift. I've worked continuous circles around her the entire four years I've been there. I've seen her sit down on the the sales floor (not on a chair or anything, mind you, but the actual floor) at the beginning of her shift because she was "tired." I know for a fact that when she disappears and nobody can find her, she's hiding out in the bathroom playing a handheld video game or talking on her cell phone. She's illiterate, she can't spell and what notes she does write make little or no sense at all. I struggled with deciphering the syntax of the above-mentioned note for twenty minutes before I could eventually figure out what she was actually trying to say. I know that if she put as much energy into doing her job as she does thinking of ways to get out of doing any work, she might actually get something done.
Add this to the cheapness factor, the miscommunications, the bug-eyed responses whenever I ask a simple question, the self-absorbed mentality, the tunnel vision, the bottom line and all the other crap I'm sick of putting up with... I'm soooo ready to just walk right the hell out. Everyday I go in I tell myself - this might just be the day.

Important announcement
Hey,
I wanted to see if I could get your quick help. I'm not sure if you've heard, but there's a movement of citizens inspired by the presidential campaign who are now submitting ideas for how they think the Obama Administration should change America. It's called "Ideas for Change in America."
I've submitted an idea and wanted to see if you could quickly vote for it. The title is: Require utilization of an extensive animal abuse database.. You can read and vote for the idea by clicking on the following link:
http://www.change.org/ideas/view/require_utilization_of_an_extensive_animal_abuse_database
The top 10 ideas are going to be presented to the Obama Administration on Inauguration Day and will be supported by a national lobbying campaign run by Change.org, MySpace, and more than a dozen leading nonprofits after the Inauguration. So each idea has a real chance at becoming policy.
Thanks for the support,
Beth Rogers
