It certainly didn't deserve to suffer like that. Thank God you took action and helped it. Keep us posted on its condition.

Fabric softener makes towels softer, yes, but it also makes them less absorbent. sm
Which is, after all, the function of a towel, absorbency. :-)
I have a golden too...
And they are the sweetest dogs in the world. I can't imagine anyone treating an animal that way. I hope they go to jail or, at the least, get fined big time. Makes me angry. I live in a part of California that is very hot in the summertime, and we let our dog get in the pool with us all she wants, but mostly I let her lie around inside all day when it's as hot as it is here today (107 degrees, yuck!).
You definitely did the right thing by calling the authorities. I would have wanted to take him in too, but I would have been worried like you about getting in trouble for it. Bless your heart. At least the poor dog isn't suffering anymore.
golden lab retriever?

There were 5 Golden Girls
Sophia, of course!!!.....Wise-crackin' momma...she never missed a beat! It's all in the timing!

my golden retriever and me
I did not go anywhere for ten years because my golden retriever would have a nervous breakdown if she was away from the family. She bit a family member when we tried to let her sleep over at another person's house and she would not eat one bite at the kennel, threw up everyday, and fell apart.
THIS TIME, when we got a puppy we PRACTICED boarding. She would go for a couple of hours, I would pick her up, she would practice an overnight visit, and I would pick her up, practiced getting a bath at the kennel, etc.
We taught the first dog to not be able to live without us. We taught the new dog that sleepovers are not the end of the world. It is a really good skill for dogs to learn.
Alternatively, a LOT of hotels take pets!
1 Sheltie, 1 golden, 1 Brat Cat
Presently:
Crissie, bi blue Sheltie.
Jamie, golden
Kazie, AKA Brat Cat.
Just in the past year I lost:
Starting in March, 06 my 21-year-old kitty Dinger, then in July 10-year-old Taz Duh Golden (not too bright), 15 days later, B.J.'s a cat who absolutely loved Taz and I know mourned himself to death!, then in Feb 07, 'Stash a 15-year-old kitty.
Happily, I've had many grace my heart before this and are now waiting for me at the Bridge. Three are my absolute heart dogs....Jennifer and Tyde were goldens and Casie was a Sheltie/Shepard mix. I miss these little critters so much!
Which of the four Golden Girls do you most resemble and why? SM
I would say I am most like Dorothy. I give and get hurt, I love and am left, always trying to help my mother! I tell it like it is!!
Having just lost my golden retriever a
few short weeks ago, I can totally relate to how your are feeling. It never gets any easier to lose our fur babies. Hugs to you.
Love the pic. My golden who died 2
months ago LOVED the snow and would always run out in the yard, stick his whole head in and then do a slow dive and wiggle around in it. Thanks for the great memory.
Golden Retriever and Rottweiler!! nm

My golden gets hot spots in the summer sm
I shave the hair off around the hot spot and put Neosporin cream on it. Oh, and check your dogfood. We figured out he can only eat Purina Beneful or Pedigree. He devleoped many hot spots to Walmart brand and when we switched him back, the hot spots cleared right up. I keep his hair short and thinned out in the summer to help his skin get some air.
Meant - Lucy is my golden's name, not mine. nm

Golden Globes - anyone watch last night
First time in a long time I agreed with most of the choices they picked for winners.
I was especially thrilled when whatever category someone from the HBO series "John Adams" was up for they won. What an excellent and superb series that was. I went and bought it when it came to DVD and I have watched it many many many times.
I was also equally thrilled that whatever Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie were affiliated with did not win anything. That really made my night. 
There were a couple Hollyweird people I lost what little respect I had for them. Glenn Close. When they announced the foreign winner (some Israel movie) they showed her face and you could tell she was very angry about that. And the other was Angelina Jolie. My DH had told me earlier yesterday that there was trouble because Angelina was stating something about Ann Hathaway "kissing her way into Hollywood" or something along those lines, and when they announced Anne's name for one of the awards they tuned in to Angelina's face and she gave Brad a look that I can't even describe, but it was obvious what she was thinking. 
Anyway.....loved the Globes last night.
I just hugged my Golden for an extra long time
I'm so sad for this poor dog. I know it is at Rainbow Bridge and at peace but what a horrible way for it to die, and it sounds as if it's life wasn't too hot either.  I hope it's owners get the book thrown at them.
To poster below, I have seen on TV for heatstroke they put alcohol on the pads/paws which supposedly helps cool them, also cold water on the body, etc. (I watch Emergenc Vets on TV sometimes - love those docs).
The students at the Golden Lab Academy eagerly awaited their first fieldtrip.

Estelle Getty of the Golden Girls passed away this morning SM
at age 84 after suffering with advanced dementia for the last several years. What a talent. The Golden Girls is my all time favorite show and I still watch it every day and never get tired of it.
Do you LOVE your husband? Want to spend your golden years with him?? Drop this fantasy at
s
I did. I leave all judgments up to the Lord, I take his golden rule to "love thy neighbor as the
to be the supreme rule, try to live by it always. I do not have to condemn, or judge in any way, Jesus is the supreme judge, what is wrong with extending earthly concern, friendhip, and love? Sometimes that works oh so much better when trying to "enlighten' someone than judgment, or hate, or harshness. That is all.
Poor you!
Right now I'm trying to transcribe for ESLs who dictate that way, and add whole sentences in prelude to something that actually means something. Stop with all the filler guys!
Oh, poor guy. sm
Sorry I referred to him as female before. (I've had too much coffee today - I seem to have energy, but no focus.) It is stressful to try to watch them all the time and to be worrying about them all the time. I sure hope he'll be okay.
I actually meant to give you this website in my other post (like I said, no focus!) It seems to cover pretty much everything about canine epilepsy, and I really like the advice way down near the bottom "Living With An Epileptic Pet." http://www.canine-epilepsy.net/basics/basics_main.html
I think there are e-mail lists for people with epileptic pets too, which are probably very supportive and helpful.
I wish you both well. Please let us know how he's doing. 
poor pup!

Poor cat
I'd rather have Scooter Libby living in my neighborhood than these 2 girls or you, all 3 who apparently cannot see where the problem lies.
Oh no! Poor you! :-(
When I lost a filling NOTHING took the pain away and I loaded up on as much Tylenol as was safe. The best thing I found was liquid Anbesol, the strongest strength they make, soaked on a piece of cotton gauze...the kind with like a webbing around it, put right over the tooth. I also remember staying plastered pretty much the whole time with whiskey high balls.
I hope you feel better soon! Nothing worse than dental pain, in my opinion. 
Poor Puppy--sm
Wow. I feel so bad for the puppy (I call all doggies puppies no matter what size or age they are). I did not realize that pets could get or have SLE. I wish you the best for finding something to control symptoms. give puppy a pet for me too.
Poor baby!
I hope you can figure out what's going on with her.
Thank you for caring for that poor dog. sm
She must have been neglected for a long time.
With her coughing up mucus, she probably has pneumonia and needs antibiotics. She also needs dental work.
You might want to feed her some ground beef and rice. You should boil the beef, not fry it (no seasonings)and add it to cooked rice that has no seasonings. This is what my vet prescribed when one of my dogs was sick. It should be easy for her to eat this. But please get her to a vet ASAP.
She probably has some kind of allergy that is causing her to chew herself. Or she might be doing that because her teeth hurt her.
Poor fella...
I would have said, "Honey, I have a 15 minute break at 8, let me "talk" with you then." Throw the poor guy a bone! lol
Poor thing...
Try the packaged oatmeal bath specifically for itchy rashes. I did this with my little one, who is now 18, and it really seemed to help with the itching. You should be able to find it at the pharmacy or ask your pharmacist. Maybe even a little Benadryl will help her rest and keep her from itching as well.
Wishing her a speedy recovery and prayers!
Poor animals!
A ''crate'' is just a nice term for a cage. How sad to cage a dog or cat.
Poor thing is very odd looking...
an excellent singer though!
Poor kid.... I felt bad for him
I agree that he surely didn't measure up vocally to the others. He seems like a nice kid, though, and even most adults couldn't take being talked about the way he has been. I really felt for him up there. I hope he has a lot of fun when they're on tour. I think he's going to be getting the biggest reaction from the crowds.
Oh, poor hubby. Now he has to do all the
driving of kids, cooking, laundry, vacuuming, etc. until your ankle heals. 'Cause you know, you're supposed to elevate your foot so it can heal.
No need to get mad - just apologize to him when you have to ask him to do all that stuff, LOL.
He'll never do that again.
:oD
House poor
I would not buy this home, and I'm not sure the bank would allow you to buy it anyway at your current incomes. Banks used to use the 28/36 formula (no more than 28% of income for house payment and 36% total for car loans, credit cards, etc.). Nowadays, they've relaxed those guidelines which could explain the skyrocketing foreclosure rate right now. As someone else posted below, babies and children in general cost lots of money, even for their most basic needs. I would try to find a smaller, older home instead.
You poor dear. I know exactly what you are saying.
I have 4 children with my husband. I don't even like leaving them at home with him. It's not that he is abusive but I just feel like I should be there in case he starts his antics with them. They are pretty tough though. Even at their early ages they have him figured out and sometimes I think they cope with him better than I do. They have this wonderful ability to mentally block him out that I wish I had sometimes. They just act like he isn't even in the room. I guess God takes care of them b/c they are the innocent victims.
Ha! I might suggest that to the poor
folks who still work there. This woman would probably put them on KP duty, though.
;op
Poor Thorne
He is just looking for love and now he is getting played by Donna (who in my opinion looks like a tramp and is acting like one). I do agree that the look on Stephanie's face will be priceless...and then she will lunge at Donna and try to kill her....good times, good times!
Oh your poor daughter!
I know exactly the humiliation she is feeling and can totally relate. What that 'teacher' said and did is just wrong. I can only hope she didn't mentally scar your daughter for the rest of her life.
I got my first period when I was in junior high...was wearing a white skirt to boot. I heard giggling and normal noise of all us students transferring to and from class but had no idea people were laughing at ME. Finally, halfway through the day, an older girl who I had no idea who she was, pulled me into the bathroom and said that I may want to go to the nurse's office because there was blood all over the back of my skirt. I actually took off my skirt, washed it in the TOILET WATER, and hid there the rest of the day until the final bus left and walked home, probably at least 5 miles, completely destroyed.
For such a 'normal' body function that no one should be surprised about, why on earth did no one bother to tell me about it, rather humiliate me like that? ...and yes, it messed me up for life.
That adult needs to have her naked behind paddled in public in front of all her peers to even come close to feeling the humiliation your daughter just felt. Go right to the top and defend your poor daughter.
Aw - Poor Lil Ole You - Jealous, huh? (nm)

Poor things! sm
You must be heartbroken. How sad! You did the best you could.
Oh goodness! Your poor mom!
Sort of have a similar story but my MIL was the one calling about my DH. She took DH to the ER for a severe attack of Crohn's; I stayed home with the kids.
I am dead asleep and MIL calls at 11:30 p.m. and says "we almost lost him." I asked what she was talking about and couldn't figure out what was going on. She tells me she thought he wasn't breathing, starts lecturing me about how I should have called her sooner to take him, that none of the triage staff would help my DH and she called 911 from the ER waiting room. I was far too disoriented to drive there as I had taken a sleeping pill. I felt pretty helpless.
She phoned me again at 6:30 a.m. She apologized for calling like she did.
He did indeed have a severe Crohn's flare up but his BP was fine as well as all his vitals. She insisted that the triage nurse falsified his vitals. Next time I'll call an ambulance for him instead of her.
I hope your dad is okay today. Saying a prayer for you and your family (if that is okay).
I know...poor kitties! (nm)

Aw, you poor thing!
My dad was once with my mom and their grandchild, and I guess mom was pushing my niece on a swing and dad sat down on a bench. Well it was a warm day, and naturally he fell asleep. Next thing he knows, park security is asking him to move along, like he's a vagrant. Or maybe his snoring was scaring the kids - I donno. :op
Awwww poor little guy!
His eyes seem to be saying, "Why are you humiliating me like this?"
You poor thing!...
You are just stressed out!! I can't say that I have been in the child support and visitation situation. But I do hope things get better for you. Not to say I don't have stress just not the same you have. I have stress with having work to do on the computer and having to do everything around the house. My hubbie drives a truck and isn't here and has a kennel of beagles and plus I have household chores. My pit bull impregnated my beagle who is at the vet as we speak getting an abortion and being spayed so we don't have to worry about this. I have a son who is 10 who if you don't sit down and make him do his homework he doesn't do it. It just seems there is so much to be done and I am the only one to do it. Laundry, cleaning house, cooking, helping with homework, feeding dogs. Don't forget the MT work pilig up you have to have done by in the morning. It gets stressful. Hang in there!
Oh my! Poor you and your daughter!
The first hint that the other mom was improper was saying you were not "a good Christian." That in itself is verbal abuse and shows where her daughter gets it. Proves to you that your daughter is truly being bullied. Great you talked to the teacher. Tough you can't be there with your daughter to make sure she is safe. When someone bullies my 7 and 8 year old kids, I tell them to first say "stop." Then if the person continues to turn and walk away. This is what I learned in abuse counseling. This goes for any situation young, old and in between. On the phone same thing. Say stop and then if they don't say, "I am hanging up now." to give them the heads up. It sounds like you and your daughter have good hearts and unfortunately bullies can smell that out. Happened to me my whole life, and every day I have to remind myself the rules of true friendship versus a wolf in sheep's clothing. I will send happy thoughts your way. And please, don't ever accept this "you are not a Christian," stuff. I am a Pastor's wife who rarely goes to church where he preaches anymore because of hearing that type of thing and I am trying to tell the ladies to "stop." Well they do not, so a lot of members leave. That's another story about bullies. Different forms and different disguises, same MO.
Good luck to you!
Oh those poor little critters!!! LOL nm

That's a poor article.
That article is written by a self-proclaimed expert writing on a conspiracy-theory website. It's mostly made-up nonsense.
If you want information, find something better.
My poor old doggy had seizures
and died from one. He went to the vet that day and she put him on medication. I called her and told her he was having more seizures and she said to double his medication. That night, he had a seizure and did not come out of it and died staring at me. I felt so helpless that I could not do anything to help him. I loved him so much.
Now I have another doed that is only 2-1/2 and he is having seizures about 1 every 3 months. He gets very scared and I have to comfort him. He wines and gets under my feet, can't stand up, drools, shivers and goes stiff.
