My Family Pet is still Missing.... Do I want to think the worst?
 Or should I consider where the real Blame lies?

    "Wild Predators", of  your  Family Pet's!

• Alligators, that lie in wait at sources of water for your unsuspecting pet.
• Bob Cats/Cougars/Bears/Wolves/Coyote's/ and even larger birds of prey such as : Eagles/Great Horned Owls can do serious do serious harm, When they mistake your small Pet for a rabbit or squirrel...
• While coons and possums don't usually kill your pet for food, they can cause serious injury and transmit diseases that can...KILL. (Keep your pets Vaccinated). Rabies, which is contagious to Humans causes certain Death...and there is no cure!
• "Last But not Least" is the,"Human Predator"...The Most Dangerous of all...
• 
  

   What could Humans do to my "Family Pet", and "Why"? 

   The answers to this is not easy to talk about, because there are so many. Sometimes things happen by accident and sometimes through no fault of anyone specific. Most often because we don't stop and think, "Prevention First"! And then there's the "nature of the beast", which does come into play also. Whether it's

the Pet itself / The Owner/ Or the Stranger, and yes even our Neighbor's. There are thousands of stories regarding incidences/accidents with Pet's, on the internet and in the news, with  everyday bringing new ones. Are they accidents or incidents?

Which is worse? I don't know the answer to that one yet, but I do know that most, "Are Preventable with a little Forethought ".

   As I said before, "Ignorance is not Bliss", when it comes to You,Your Family, Your Friends or Your Pets,

being needlessly Harmed, maimed, Lost or even Killed . Most of times, It's your Pet that pays the price!

 Children:

Will tease and torment dogs, tied or confined in cages and fenced yards...Why?
Because it gives them a false sense of safety. As well as something to laugh at!
Notice that I said, False Sense of Safety!!!
Because dogs in these types of situations are too often teased into such a frenzied state. Day after
day, week after week, And month after month, they become more aggressive by instincts. It is there instinct to protect where they live...if it's a fenced yard/ a kennel run/ or on a 15' chain ..." It Does Not Matter",  when he get's loose... If  he don't bite you out of the built-up aggressions, over being teased daily, He will bite you out of fear for himself... Because Now He is Loose and He Can! Please do not overlook these situations... your dog can break a chain/ rope/ or collar... especially if it's made in china...!  He can dig out or jump/climb over and even go through a fence. I have seen dogs chew through 2x4's on wooden cages and Chain link on kennel doors.

 Adults:

Will harm your pet for reasons beyond reasoning...

Dog Fights: (sick)(very sad)(Abusive)-bragging rights/money

Theft: (sick and sad), This act is usually done to support fighting and drugs and should be added to The  "War on Crime" with stiffer legal penalties for violations.
In economic hard times some do this to gain from reward money's offered...money (Sad and sick) No pet, likes being Lost or Stolen from it's Family and the only Love they know.

Breeding (sad) because the taxes and burdens shared by others, is an ever increasing problem so these people can stay in the business of making money off others and the countless lives of "Breed dogs", that wind up in shelters or euthanized every YEAR!  (Money and more Money... but who's making the money And at what price to pay? ( Just to add mention ...We the People should not support these businesses. And promote bans of all exotic imports into this country except by certain responsible caretakers of these species. Permitted only under strict guidelines to protect, and preserve Natural Habitats. Until politicians take up these positions, they are not on board with protecting the environment for anyone)!

Barking (sick) and very very sad, that anyone would Beat and Glue a Dog's Mouth Shut...But it's in the news and if I were the owner, I would 1st asked myself did my dog bark incessantly when he was outside? and how long was he outside to do this? Was he fenced in? was there any holes where he could have escaped through? Could it be a neighbor that don't like barking and driven to such a horrendous action...as to lean over my fence pick my dog up, take him inside his house,beat him for barking and then glue his mouth shut with super glue, so he would never bark again... not realizing his actions would cause this dog's death? "Ignorance is not Bliss"!

Friends/Family/Neighbors:

Don't want dogs in their yards/ parks or on sidewalks/ don't like dogs/ don't like you/ don't like children...  (Very unhappy people in general), and they are the ones that put nails/tacks/poison in cheeses and drop them in dog parks and in Halloween candy, (in the news too). Antifreeze in water left outside for your, "At large Pet's".
Unfortunately these are just a few of Life's Problems for Family's with Pets. And people that commit these acts don't know that, God created the world for everyone....not just "Themselves"! Here's my word that isn't a word. "Co-Habitation"!


Confucius says:  He read in the news yesterday of a man in Florida who sawed his dogs leg off with a handsaw... What kind of Justice should he get? And What kind will he get? Do we know "Why"?  No...
Is it excusable? or sick? or both? or none of the above? Will we march for this Dog's Justice?
Probably not because he's just a dog....But this I say to you..."Here is where social behaviors begins..." with the exception, that this man was an adult...But what is he teaching his children? And What are you teaching yours by not bringing,"Justice to such Crimes"?

Confused says: All things are punishable, Under God's Law and through Him...Under Man's Law? Dunno...

Tales from The Dog House: My Family Pet is MISSING! My 1st advice for this...

Tales from The Dog House: My  Family Pet is MISSING!
 My 1st advice for this...: My  Family Pet is MISSING!  My 1st advice for this problem is....To get out there and start looking as soon as you can't find your dog ...

My  Family Pet is MISSING!

•  My 1st advice for this problem is....To get out there and start looking as soon as you can't find your dog at home...!!!  The sooner you start to put the word out, the better chance you have of finding your pet. 
• Call your Animal Control Officer.
• Call or go to your neighbor's for help.
• Neighborhood children on bicycles are a good resource. 
• Put up posters, (with reward's offered, will increases your chances) especially if you can afford more than someone might have paid for your pet...(usually $100.00-$200.00)
• Post to all Local... Vet Clinics/Shelters/Area Stores/Facebook/Drive-Thru/Chicken Places/BBQ Places or any places which might be a food source for your, Lost Pet...

  No matter where you live, your pet can get hit my by a passing car.( So, you  have a fenced yard ). Dogs dig, jump, chew and pull at anything that keeps them from their appointed rounds. And they usually want to go in the neighbor's yard. Or check out the dogs down the street, or just chaise things. These are all things your dog will do if left to his freedoms. Most dogs travel certain paths or areas when they are on the loose. They generally know where the water sources are in their areas. Sometimes if they are hit by passing cars (and no one stops to help them...), Depending on the extent of their injuries and if able to, they will drag themselves to the closest water sources. So check all nearby water locations to for your pet.
   Which brings me to another danger, in areas where there are wild predators your dog can fall victim to any number of things. Live close to areas where alligators might be? Don't think, because you have a big dog, this won't happen to him...Gators lie in wait in areas where other animals go for their water sources. And they live there until, the source is depleted or gone. If you know your dog likes water, always check where he swims, often. Oh my dog is big enough to take care of a gator!
   Not underwater...,Which is what a gator does. He will lie in wait, like a log, close to the bank, and in 1 sudden leap will have your dog in his powerful jaws, dragging him underwater then holding him there until,
he has drowned him...(Not a pretty sight to see if it's your own, "Beloved Family Pet"). Alligators have been known to eat small livestock, such as baby calves that can weigh up to75-100lbs, goats.chickens and pigs. A large alligator will take a 10-25lb pet in his jaws, crush him, drowned him, and then flip him around in his mouth to swallow him head first and whole...! Depending on the size of the gator and the size of the dog as to how many days he will feed on him. Take note if you have small children that play in these areas as well. Because when the food supply of smaller animals runs out and they get really hungry, your children can be next...Call your state's Wildlife Officer's and file a report for removal/relocation to protect both the alligator and your children...



Confucius says: "Children and pet's need parent's who protect them from all possible dangerous situations! So "Parent's" BEWARE!

Confused says:  It's not meant that your "Family Pet's" shouldn't have any freedoms to be just "Pets"...
But, that you should supervise/train/ and protect them...Teach them to be well trained, respectful, and sociable...Just as I and all your neighbors, hope you would teach your children...

There is an old saying, that says: "Ignorance is Bliss"!..."No it is not"!... Not when you lose something you Love!

    I would say that today brings us to a point in time that we should and have to be more consciously aware of the predators in our lives.You might think that means, those with the sick minds, as to molest children. And it does if your a parent. Now more than ever you must be constantly aware, that there are Strangers/Friends/ and Family that will do unspeakable things to your innocent children. I say " innocent", because they are! Children begin much like puppies with natural instincts to explore, learn and grow. They know little fear until they get hurt  by something or someone. That's where Momma comes in to protect her young,( if she knows). Too often children are afraid of adults and are afraid too tell because they've been traumatized into believing something very bad will happen to them, if they do! So most times they bear the scars...Don't think, this is an excuse for continuing bad things because they were done to you...Use the scars to become a better person. Much like a puppy who's been hit by a car and survived...He learns not to chase cars! But to Avoid them! Sometimes if a "Momma Dog" doesn't like a person or the actions of a person, she will step in before her young is harmed, as should you, if your a parent.
    People living in different areas of our communities with pets and children should be aware of all the dangerous things that could happen to them and take cautions to prevent harm to them. Pets are often thought of as possessions instead of, a  part of your family, that needs protecting as well.
   This idea can lead to harm for your pets as well as to you and your family. When they get lost, harmed or threatened by accident or by predators.
    Just imagine for a minute you have a dog in your family, he greets you everyday when you come home from work, he plays with your children without harm, he gets hugs and kisses and plenty of pats for being a good, loyal family dog!...Then he is Lost...Where could he be? He's always here when I come home. Oh he'll be back when it's time to eat...There's a lot to consider when faced with these things in, "Our Lives". Is he in the hands of a good person, who will help get him back home...or at the mercy of a predator that will effect him for the rest of his life, or end his life?  There was a story in the news yesterday about a woman's dog went missing from her yard *( fences are not dog proof or predator proof)...she searched everywhere with no results. Her dog came home the next day...*( Im sure after whoever had done such an awful thing was through getting their kicks, had released it). It had been beaten and it's mouth was glued shut...The dog was so traumatized it died... and somewhere among good decent people lives a very sick minded person, who is on the short track to becoming a serial killer/rapist/pedifile/ or all of the above. I so hope there was 1 among them or with him, that saw it and will step up and do the right thing and "TELL"!!! Someone surely at least heard the screams of this poor dog!


.....Then imagine for a minute... It's your, "Child"...that's missing! 


Confucius says: "Spell check" says Pedifile, is not a word....So it should not exist!
Confused says: " Read more tips on "What to do when your dog goes missing"! Tomorrow....
( When you actually start looking for him)! 

 Comments_

    What are comments anyways? Do we really need them for some sort of justification of ourselves? I go there everyday looking...looking and looking but still not there. They are just words anyway. Words that are part of conversations, only if someone wants to talk. Only if what they have to say is felt as important information into someone's character or state of learning. What does it mean, if there is, "No Comment"? Hmmm...Don't want to talk about it...Don't want to think someone else may have a point...Don't want to learn anything else, "I'm perfect"...Or are you just not interested?

    Comments are made for input, into conversations, as to what we have experienced or felt within our own lives to share with others, small parts of ourselves. To express likes,dislikes and specific interest.There are few things that are more powerful than the written or spoken word. They tell truths and they tell lies...But they mostly tell us, who we are as people. I often remember a saying, from my Mom, "Pretty is... as Pretty does"... Which to me means, you can say or write a lot of words but  there is no truth to them, If your "Actions" say different...So if we take actions and make comments, will it make us better people? (I do have to say I'm guessing it depends if your on Facebook/Google/Twitter/ or My space). Comments allow us to understand others and come together..As Friends... Or not! So "Please" say something....anything...

Confucius says:    That isn't no "Dog Story"

Confused Says: Yeah, I know, but it was blocking the one in my head so I had to spit it out:)
