I’m light again on WTF Wednesday this week and the reason is facebook.  I haven’t been on facebook a lot lately, quite truthfully I’m getting frustrated with the way it keeps changing, I can’t keep up with it.  I need a social media class. 🙁

So first, a big WTF to facebook.  Why do you keep changing?  Can’t you just leave things be?  I really, really liked the old facebook.

WTF?

Dog viciously attacked by group of canines at Nanaimo park, Vancouver, BC

I can’t imagine what was going through this woman’s mind as she saw her dog attacked by a pack of dogs.

What kind of idiot(s) stand by and watches while their dog(s) attacks another dog and never checks on the other dog to see if it’s alright.

Irresponsible ones, that’s who.

It is people like this, that take no responsibility for training or managing their dog, that give dog owners a bad rap.  If I was this woman, I’d be going back to that park EVERY day with my camera, and I’d be watching people arriving and leaving with their dogs.   Then I’d make sure animal control stepped in and removed that dog from its owner.

You and I both know, some people are just too ignorant to own dogs.

Whoo Hoo

Connecticut shelter dog saves baby’s life, Portland, CT

I first saw this story on my local news station.  I meant to share it last week and I totally forgot.

Duke the dog was rescued about six years ago. Always a respectful and well-trained dog one night he went into his owner’s bedroom and jumped up on the bed, which was something he never did.

He was shaking so bad, his owners got up to check things out and discovered their nine week-old baby, Harper was not breathing. Thankfully paramedics were able to revive Harper and the story had a happy ending.

Throughout the news story, the mom kept talking about what a special dog he was, my favorite part was when her voice breaking she said, “I tell him all the time you were born in mommy’s heart.”

It gives new meaning to the phrase, “Who rescued who?”  Doesn’t it?

A quick note.

Don’t forget the calendar photo contest coming your way very soon!

A couple of you asked in the comments if you can submit photos of pets that have already gone to the bridge.  I would say, yes.  The photo (if chosen for the calendar) will name the pet, the blog and their favorite rescue organization.

 

Did I miss any WTF or Whoo Hoo posts this week?  Please share in the comments.

My W.T.F./Whoo Hoo Wednesday is slightly different this week. I’m not really sure what the issue is, if I’m suffering from writer’s block, the change in the seasons or burnout, all I know is I’m finding it hard to sit down and write.

Maybe it’s because PCW Computer promised me my laptop would be ready in four to five business days and here I sit eight business days later without my laptop!

W.T.F. PCW? Don’t you work on computers?  Don’t you know how long it takes to replace a power jack?

When I called they said, we had to order the part, it should be done by Wednesday. Why don’t you carry power jacks in stock? What kind of computer repair store does NOT carry power jacks?

I can guarantee you I will not be using PCW Computer again and once my laptop is safely back in my lap, I’m going to let them know why.

Not having my laptop has not been good.  Yesterday I spent most of the afternoon looking for W.T.F. posts, which normally come across my facebook page, but I could find nothing.

Stone Manor

I had to look to Stone Manor for some W.T.F.’s.

Dear Bob Stone,

 

You are cute, I’ll give you that.  And I love the way you are learning to sit on command and how you think you are a dog and mimic what they do, but W.T.F. do you think is going to happen when you are directly under my feet?

First the sound you make will either give me a heart attack or cause me to shit myself have an accident.  Second I only have two legs, do you know how hard it is to shave scabby legs?

I didn’t think so.

Do you like getting stepped on or is it you like clawing the shit heck out of my legs?

Stop. Getting. Under. My. Feet.

W.T.F./Whoo/Hoo

These next two stories (for me anyway) fall into W.T.F and Whoo Hoo.

A Community Comes Together to Reunite a Little Girl with her Stolen Dog, San Jose, CA

A family’s house was robbed and the thieves took a ten-year-old little girl’s puppy.

W.T.F.?  I can picture this so clearly in my mind, two stoonads running around the house grabbing items of value and stuffing them in a messenger bag, “ooh look at this iPAD we can get $100 for this, and probably $50 for that netbook, hey Bubba, don’t forget that little Shorkie in the corner, what do you suppose we can get for a Shorkie?”

I know there are lots of dog fences in this country, but I don’t know of many places that fence dogs.  Perhaps our thieves missed the fact that MILLIONS of dogs are euthanized every year because they wind up in shelters.

Here’s the best and sweetest part of this story, the  little girl offered all the money in her piggy bank as a reward for the return of her puppy.  (Collective AWWWWWW) The city council and police and fire unions chipped in as well.

The reward worked and the dog was found 80 miles away and returned to the little girl.

This next story is horrendous.

King County seizes dog that killed Chihuahua in Tukwila last week,  Wukwila, WA

A 12-year-old girl was walking her aunt’s Chihuahua, Champ when an aggressive dog slipped away from his owner and attacked Champ.

I hate to be the Debbie Downer here, but this child should NOT have been walking the dog, specifically for this reason.  Do I think a kid should be able to walk their dog?  Absolutely.  But with the idiot dog owner virus running rampant in this country (and no apparent vaccine in sight) it’s not wise to let your children walk the dog unattended by an adult.

The dog’s owner stood there and watched as his dog attacked the Chihuahua and told the  young girl, ‘your dog is dead, your dog is dead.’ After his dog dropped little Champ the guy just walked away.

Yo douche bag, we have people called responsible dog owners in this country, if you can’t be a responsible dog owner, you might try being a human being.

I really believe we should have a nationwide animal registry in this country so assholes like this can never own an animal.

Ever Again.

Sadly Champ died on his way to the vet.

Here is the Whoo Hoo part, a local resident delivered a new puppy to the family, Eric Bertlesen knows the puppy cannot replace Champ, but he does want the young girl to know that not all people are bad.

The owner of Champ left this comment on the news story,

“As for the owner and his dog, personally, I hate that the dog is the one who had to be punished for this. The dog was being a dog. I believe that dogs are capable of being vicious killers or loyal companions (they are decedents of wolves after all.) The owner has control over which qualities to bring out best. The man in question failed to be human and take responsibility for his dog. Had he stayed at the park, maybe even offered an apology, none of this would have happened. We would have accepted it as an accident, and painfully tried to move on. The fact that he knew what he was doing when he walked away and chose to ignore the signs we posted up by his apartment complex shows really just shows how much character he lacks. He let his dog down, and I hope that they are able to rehabilitate the dog and find a decent home with capable owners to watch over him. 2 animals don’t have to die over this.”

Wow, I don’t know if I could be so generous if my dog was attacked.

So how has your week been?  Any W.T.F.’s or Whoo Hoo’s you’d like to share?  How’s your writing going, am I the only one struggling?

P.S. I realize there’s a spelling error in the quote, that is the way it was written.

WTF

Cougar Kills Golden retriever, North Bend, WA

A cougar killed a fifteen year old Golden Retriever that was sleeping outside on a deck at 3:00 am, which leads me to ask, W.T.F was the dog doing sleeping outside at 3:00 am?

I get it, sometimes dogs especially older ones need a potty break in the middle of the night, been there, done that, but under no circumstances would I ever leave my dog outside and go back to bed!

What kind of idiot does that?  Especially in an area where you KNOW wild animals live?

It’s like leaving the bank doors open when you know there are robbers in the area.

Ass clown.

WTF would you do?, Facebook

One of my friends sent me an e-mail and said,something like: look at the picture, read the caption and tell me what you think.

I don’t know about you, but it made my blood run cold and I felt sick.

Apparently she and I were getting the same vibe.  She tracked the original poster down, got his name and address and called the authorities.  I’m not sure if they picked the dirt bag up or not, but I can tell you he is a convicted felon and I know she did the right thing.

Cat goes to vet for flea bath and gets euthanized, Massachusetts

Holy cat, Batman! did you see this?  The guy drops his cat off for a flea bath goes home to get his other cat (also in need of a flea bath) and comes back to find the vet has EUTHANIZED his cat.

Apparently in Massachusetts flea bath and euthanasia sound alike.

If you’re having anything done to your pet in Massachusetts, please make sure you read the form you are signing.

I don’t know about you, but I think it’s time to find a new vet.

Dog dies on United Airlines Flight, New York, NY

Personally, I would never bring my dog on a plane in the cargo hold, that’s just me.  If we can’t drive to our destination with our pets, we don’t go.

But I know other people who have a different philosophy.  However when you have a plane delayed on a hot runway, and the passengers in the plane are told to open their vent fans, wouldn’t you think someone would have half a brain thought to check on the animals in cargo?

The model was coldly told her pet had died and the poor dog’s body was left in the crate.

This is the second time United Airlines has made the W.T.F. post, I don’t know about you but I have no desire to fly United.

EVER.

Whoo Hoo

Beagle survives 70 foot fall from bridge, NJ

A poor little fearful beagle, previously abused gets spooked on her daily walk, slips her harness and runs.  When someone stops to help her, she is so afraid she does the unthinkable.  She jumps off the bridge.

I know, I know.  I debated if it should be WTF or Whoo Hoo but as the dog survived the jump with only a bruised abdomen, I settled on Whoo Hoo.

Let’s hope her story helps educate people about fearful dogs.

Cruelty to pit bull nets 6 month jail term, Ft. Wayne, IN

It does my heart good to see the judicial system penalizing animal neglecters and abusers.

St. Louis police to dedicate police officer to animal crimes, St. Louis, MO

The article begins with this People who abuse animals often go on to commit crimes against people.

Can I get an amen!

It’s about time law enforcement started adding two plus two and getting four.   Animals are just a starting point for many abusers who then go on to children and then spouses.

Catch them early I say!

Finally I saw this video of a little pig saving a baby goat, I dare you to watch this video and not smile.  The pig is just so stinkin cute!

That’s Some Pig!, Fox News

Well that’s enough for me, do you have any news or anything to share?
