i am excellent at writing laws i need to be elected immediately.

That happens all the time. A friend of mine lost a beloved cat. She was sure he was dead, he'd been gone for three years. Then she spotted him in the window of someone's house, that was well within range of the flyers she'd put everywhere. So she printed another one, knocked at their door, and got her damn cat back.

People walk around my neighborhood with their dogs off leash and it just makes me so ill and worried—I live in a fairly busy Chicago neighborhood. They are near 40mph intersections, hands full, will their dog off leash. Yes, a dog can be super obedient and a make a mistake. This is why my pooch gets a leash, always.…

Much as I hate to admit it, so would I. My dogs came from the same litter, and I've had them since they were six weeks old. They have never been parted from one another or me, and honestly, I have family members I would allow to wander in the wild for a year before I would let my dogs. (Especially the aunt who keeps…

Or the dog is lost and has no idea where she is - Homeward Bound gave us very odd ideas about the homing instincts of pets.

Dogs that are scared and lost usually do not readily run to their owners. Fear does weird things. I have been working with dogs for ten years, a friend of mine's specialty is lost dogs. You'd be surprised how many well cared for and friendly dogs become practically feral and unresponsive to their owners when on the…

If I had that kind of money, and I lost my dog, I 'd spend it to. They are family.

Actual human children can be dangerous too.

While psychics are ridiculous, I feel bad for her, she clearly loves the dog. Hope she gets him back.

I hate off-leash asshole owners. I had one tell me that her little "baby" should get to enjoy the park, same as my kid (an actual human child). I told her that my kid was incapable of putting another animal or human in the hospital. I also told the cunt to buy a fucking house with a yard.

I highly suggest a Tagg collar. It is worth the investment ($100 for the collar and $8/month for service). It is a gps collar with a phone app. My dog is a runner and houdini escape artist and it has been a life saver.

If this happened to me and I had the money I'd spend it. Not on the psychics though, but I can't fault her on that, she's desperate. :( I hope she finds him.

Honestly, I'm sure she got to a point where the psychology of sunk cost took over and then she just ... just leaned into.

I went to law school in the 2-block radius where Havoc went missing. Have seen these flyers for almost a year now. Apparently, she also hired search dogs to find the little guy. People have ripped down the flyers, which is heartless, and they just kept cropping back up. I thought it was a bit weird at the time, but I…

the only time i've ever seen this be used in the "real, southern way". well done. starred. i would never spend that kind of money to find a pet, but fuck someone who hates on her because she can, and wants to. that's love, and that's not for me to judge.

I don't criticize her for spending the money, because I'm not sure if I would be able to stop that kind of investigation if leads were popping up and people were spotting the pup. The psychic, though...

bless your heart

I hope she finds her dog. Keep your dogs on the leash unless they are in a fenced in area!

Katniss Everdeen had already killed her first five teenagers by that age!

"Murder" specifically refers to the killing of a human being. Animals may be "slaughtered," "killed," "exterminated," "euthanized," etc depending on the situation.
