Mental illness. And as if I were a sparrow.
Just another labyrinthine thunderstorm journey down the mental illness rabbit hole. Scary being an adult sobbing uncontrollably. Dad dead eight years old. Edna many years later. Lovely I cannot talk about incidents in New York and Amsterdam. No amount of clonazepam can stop the avalanche. Scary realizing you're not who you used to be. Scary living in a foreign environment. Seemingly past repair and redemption. Detritus. Not the opposite. Chaos not order. Relentless sea of overwhelmedness and where do I go from here. Where do I start. Maybe the truth will set me free. I dunno. Maybe. Looking for hope. Joy. Purpose. Peace. A house that's not a monster but a home. Dear God. Please watch over me. As if I were a sparrow.

Strong and noble heroes walk among us every day.<br />
We don't always see them. They are among the most revered members of Tribe Dog — the<a href="http://www.history.com/this-day-in-history/us-army-launches-k-9-corps"> K-9s</a>. Trained to work with police and other law enforcement officials,<br />
these dogs have <a href="http://www.calgaryherald.com/news/national/Police+spars+with+three+bears+then+tracks+down+suspected/7663245/story.html">unique and remarkable jobs.</a><br />
<br />
Some are trained to apprehend and detain suspects; others to detect illegal substances, or find explosives; arson dogs to pick up the scent of an accelerant. Search and Rescue dogs are trained to locate missing people. Cadaver-sniffing dogs are trained to find corpses and human remains. Their job may seem sad, daunting, but untold families world wide are grateful to these dogs.<br />
<br />
The first image you may have for a K-9 is a German Shepherd Dog or a <a href="http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2011/05/05/belgian-malinois-dog-osama-bin-laden_n_858050.html">Belgian Malinois</a>, but <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_police_dog_breeds">other breeds</a> are used as well. Only in the days following <a href="http://timeline.national911memorial.org/">9-11</a> did working K-9s come to national prominence as <a href="https://www.google.com/search?hl=en&sugexp=les%3B&gs_rn=0&gs_ri=hp&tok=V0cV5GXaxxoOUR-Qz-_b6A&cp=10&gs_id=1b&xhr=t&q=sar+dogs+9/11&bav=on.2,or.r_gc.r_pw.r_cp.r_qf.&bpcl=39650382&biw=1092&bih=504&um=1&ie=UTF-8&tbm=isch&source=og&sa=N&tab=wi&ei=OzXFUJ2-OpL08AS55oD4CQ#um=1&hl=en&tbo=d&tbm=isch&sa=1&q=SAR+dogs+9%2F11&oq=SAR+dogs+9%2F11&gs_l=img.12..0i24.23569.25473.0.27492.6.6.0.0.0.0.61.210.4.4.0...0.0...1c.1.PRjGEkANQcY&pbx=1&bav=on.2,or.r_gc.r_pw.r_cp.r_qf.&fp=89a91ce959f8e074&bpcl=39650382&biw=1092&bih=504">SAR dogs from all over our country</a> came to ground zero.<br />
<br />
Troy is one of these majestic and noble dogs who protect and serve. A Dutch Shepherd, he arrived at the <a href="http://www.hampton.gov/police/index.html">Hampton Police Division</a> in April 2006, origin the Netherlands. He was two years old. Troy had already received five weeks of intensive training with the <a href="http://www.asctk9.org/id78.html">American Society of Canine Trainers</a>. He then received an additional three weeks of ASCT training with MPO Angie Dipentima — MPO stands for Master Police Officer. MPO Dipentima has been with Hampton Police Division since 1999. She is also an instructor for <a href="https://www.facebook.com/HamptonVAPolice">HPD</a>, training officers to work on the Crisis Intervention Team.<br />
<br />
Certified as a Master K-9 handler by <a href="http://www.asctk9.org/id87.html">ASCT</a> on May 5, 2006, she and Troy were on the job the next day. He accompanies her to work five days a week. Troy's specialty is narcotics detection. A typical day in their lives includes random inspections in the business districts of Hampton in hotels, restaurants, bars, parking establishments and warehouses. Troy receives sixteen hours of training each month with MPO Dipentima. <br />
<br />
I first saw Troy in a video from a PBS special called <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F3y6v2G97pg">The dogs are alright: The Vick dogs make a comeback.</a> <br />
To me this video is mesmerizing. All fourteen minutes and thirteen seconds — a story that sent shock waves across the country in 2007. The story continues, but now it's about grace and redemption. Inspiration. Troy appears in only the first :32 seconds but he steals the show, in the very best sense. Take a look. You'll see. He was then and is now a star. Every day that Troy works in the city of <a href="http://www.hampton.va.us/">Hampton, Virginia</a> the citizens can rest easy. He protects and serves, 24/7.<br />

<span style="font-family: inherit;">Monday, November 19: "By the time the sun set Monday evening, the Hawkins County Short Mountain forest fire — which started Thursday afternoon — <a href="http://www.timesnews.net/article/9054254/firefighters-protect-homes-as-hawkins-county-fire-burns-out-of-control">had scorched about 2,200 acres</a> west of Rogersville." </span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Sunday, November 18: "While fighting the fire on Sunday, crews came across a property where about 20 dogs were chained to vehicle axles that were buried in the ground. They called the Hawkins County Sheriff's Office, which sent deputies to investigate."</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><a href="http://www.tn.gov/agriculture/forestry/fire.shtml">Firefighters</a> in the Tennessee's Division of Forestry and deputies in the <a href="http://www.hawkinscountytn.gov/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=41&Itemid=53">Sheriff's Department of Hawkins County.</a> Heroes.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">The Sheriff's Department's </span><span style="font-family: inherit;">deputies evacuated </span>the dogs down the mountain to safety<span style="font-family: inherit;"> .

"The fire was coming across the ridge, and they (firefighters) were worried that if the wind hit the right direction that it would put them dogs in danger," Allen [Chief Deputy Tony Allen] said. <a href="http://www.timesnews.net/article.php?id=9054255">"As a matter of fact, that place did end up burning Sunday night."</a></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">All 20 dogs are safe. Confirmed. Charvez Franciso has been charged. Detective John Pruitt is investigating the case. I believe he is a man who does not back down.</span><br />

Funny thing about holidays. If you have family you go wherever they are. If you can. If you don't have family - maybe someone invites you to their home. <br />
If you've lost someone holidays are unsettling. Wisps and unruly tendrils of conversations and pictures and afternoons and laughter blow across your face and refuse to be tamed. When the distractions and the people who've opened their homes and hearts to you fade to black those wisps become splinters. And the blue gray maya landscape of denial protecting you flies out the window.<br />
<br />
Yesterday a little after noon I read about<a href="http://www.wpsdlocal6.com/news/local/65-dogs-removed-from-suspected-fighting-operation-in-Tennessee--180699161.html"> 65 dogs in Tennessee</a>.

Stories that may not always have a happy ending but always have a reason. For being. For shining. I thought about how Nigel and Life With Dogs would tell the story of the 65 dogs in Tennessee. And waiting for that story I am smiling at the most wonderful of wonderful white dogs whose picture dots Facebook whenever there's a new LWD story or photograph. Dear God how we do love stand up guys, don't we, Nigel?

Reflecting again today on the healing power of music. For dogs. For their two-legged guardians. Remembered <i><a href="http://www.emeraldgreensound.com/machupicchu.html">Machu Picchu Impressions</a></i>, with a background of environmental sounds digitally recorded by Rusty Crutcher. During the harmonic convergence in Machu Picchu, Peru. August, 1987. He just had to go. I, we, are so very glad he did. "This music is dedicated to all earth's creatures who make up our living orchestra." Rusty Crutcher<br />

It's a tough sell to convince a traditionally modeled shelter that dogs in one or more buildings would benefit from adding a six CD boom box with music — Native American mostly, some <a href="http://devapremalmiten.com/">Deva Premal</a>, <i>Love is Space</i>. But if you provide the necessary elements and no cash is needed someone will let you try it. The results are amazing. For the owner surrendered dogs in shell shock. For the strays once city property now transferred in, once beloved by someone. Before they were picked up by an AC van, taken to the muni shelter, then to the not so muni shelter.<br />
<br />
The crickets singing on two tracks of <i>Macchu Picchu Impressions</i> recorded multiple times on a 90 minute CD]-- will put dogs in a daycare setting to sleep in about three minutes. First one then another drops down to Sphinx position,<a href="http://www.canis.no/rugaas/aboutturid.php"> signaling their brothers</a>, who in turn also lay down, then one by one they all slowly drop their heads and stop. Rest. Nap.
Sometimes we two-leggeds forget to do the same. Stop. Rest. Regenerate. Let our hearts beat with all things bright and beautiful. When I forget to do that Lady takes it upon herself to solemnly and oftentimes most mischievously let me know I am just too damn busy with <a href="http://www.goodreads.com/work/quotes/2180358-le-petit-prince">matters of great importance</a>. As spoke <i>The Little Prince. </i>
Saw a heart stopping picture of a fifteen year old beauty named Sally swimming in a lake a month or so ago. Made me remember that matters of great importance are never as important as they seem. And by the way, Darren husband of Michelle and father of Tori and Alex you are a prince among men. Truly.

One </span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">lady </span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><a href="http://www.myfoxal.com/story/19735181/some-leeds-rottweilers-may-not-be-put-to-death">decided</a> this was just not gonna happen on her watch.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">She hired an attorney and filed a motion Wednesday October 3rd in an attempt to keep these dogs from being euthanized. Her motion was denied on Thursday October 4th. The judge ruled she had no standing in the case; only <a href="http://www.bjcanimalcontrol.com/">Birmingham-Jackson County Animal Control</a>, the DA or the original owner could file a petition with the court.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">So. She went to BJC Animal Control where the</span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> dogs have been housed since September 20th.

BJC Animal Control then asked the judge to reconsider and allow the dogs to be evaluated individually. </span><br />

"Vick posted a Twitter picture Thursday night of himself and his
daughter hard at work at the kitchen table. Dad was looking at game film
on an iPad. Daughter appears to be doing some homework. And sitting on
the table, in plain view, is a box of opened Milk-Bone dog biscuits.
(It's next to a pink folder with puppies on it.)"<br />
<br />
"It's not hard to connect the dots from there. The
picture was quickly deleted and replaced by a similar, biscuit-less
one, showing Vick has enough sense to realize his dog ownership is a
matter that's best left private (for now at least). Luckily, the good
folks at Crossing Broad caught the first tweet and saved the picture. <br />
(We added the arrow.)"<br />
<br />
"Vick was not allowed to own a dog under the terms of his probation.
That three-year sentence ended in July, freeing him to own an animal. The
fact that he evidently took advantage of this surely won't sit well
with some people; I'm not one of them. Vick paid his debt and is
rehabilitated in the eyes of the court, and that's good enough for me.
Where would the "he should never own a dog" faction like it to end?
Restraining orders from PetSmart? An electronic tracking bracelet that
alerts authorities any time he walks past a dog park? A V-chip that
prevents him from watching Animal Planet?"<br />
<br />
"What bothers me most is
the negligence of leaving that box on the table. Someone went to the
trouble of blurring the screen of Vick's video playbook but couldn't
slide the biscuits six inches to the right? That's terrible

Nbcsports.com carried a more comprehensive story yesterday. Please do click and read. <a href="http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2012/10/05/mike-vick-apparently-owns-a-dog-again/">Mike Vick apparently owns a dog again</a> This story initially used the same picture as the one above. Early this
morning the photo had been replaced. Hmm. NBCsports.com tweaked the headline a tad. Four paws up. Four hyper
links in this story. Interesting reading. <br />
<br />
As of 7:41 pm today 750 people "like" the NBC story on Facebook, story has been tweeted 87 times, and there are 99 reader responses. 750 thumbs up by readers, 392 thumbs down. <br />
<br />
Backstory. 2007. <a href="http://articles.cnn.com/2007-07-17/us/vick_1_bad-newz-kennels-dogfighting-investigation-quanis-phillips?_s=PM:US">NFL star indicted over dog fight</a> <br />
<i>"According to the indictment, dogs that didn't show enough fighting
spirit, or that lost matches, were put to death by a variety of methods,
including shooting, drowning, hanging and electrocution. Prosecutors
allege that on one occasion earlier this year, Vick participated in
killing eight dogs."</i><br />

"Upon suffering beyond suffering: the Red Nation shall rise again and it shall be a blessing for a sick world. A world filled with broken promises, selfishness and separations. A world longing for light again. I see a time of Seven Generations when all the colors of mankind will gather under the Sacred Tree of Life and the whole Earth will become one circle again. In that day, there will be those among the Lakota who will carry knowledge and understanding of unity among all living things and the young white ones will come to those of my people and ask for this wisdom. I salute the light within your eyes where the whole Universe dwells. For when you are at that center within you and I am that place within me, we shall be one." - Crazy Horse, Oglala Sioux Chief [This he said as he sat smoking the Sacred Pipe with Sitting Bull for the last time, four days before he was assassinated.]

A dog who weighs 165 pounds. His name is CODA. The story is what Black Elk speaks of above. "Grown men can learn from very little children...."<br /><br />I don't know how many people take the time to thank <a href="http://www.lifewithdogs.tv/">Life with Dogs</a>. I hope they are many expressing gratitude. For Life with Dogs could just as well be Life with Love. For many of us involved in advocacy, activism, rescue the stories this earnest, compassionate and all things bright and beautiful writer chooses to share provide lifesaving winds of sunlight we cling to amidst the sadness, tragedy and sometimes unspeakable horror in the daily reports of abuse which cannot be ignored. I read the story of the 10 year old who braved frozen waters to save a dog named CODA, all 165 lbs of him. I closed my eyes and said thank you for bringing this story to all of us today. I love Life with Dogs. You give us Hope. Every day.

Vick has indicated remorse for disappointing his fans, his family, his teammates and his coach, but has steered clear of mentioning his victim dogs in public statements."<br /><br /> "BAD RAP Co-Founder, Tim Racer said: "Oakland is a town that welcomed Vick's broken dogs with open arms back in 2007. We understand Vick is trying to right his wrongs and is very interested in redemption, but you can't find redemption without acknowledging your victims. Making amends to the dogs themselves would have helped to create some closure for many of us, especially the people who worked so hard to keep them from being destroyed. It seems that Vick is not ready to go there."<br /><br /> "Pamela Browner-Crawley, public affairs director for the Philadelphia Eagles, relayed BAD RAP's offer to Vick. To satisfy the conditions of Vick's parole that bars him from being near animals, a location was identified that would allow him to view his former dogs from behind a window, at legal distance. On Wednesday, Crawley contacted BAD RAP to decline on behalf of Vick. Ignoring the fact that legalities would be followed, she explained, "Michael is not allowed to be around dogs by a court order, so logistically and legally, your plan can't work."<br /><br /> "We were fairly certain that he would decline our invitation, given his continued refusal to make mention of his dogs," said Racer. "The unfortunate thing is that his new position of compassion towards animals would be so much more credible if he could actually say that he looked his victims in the eye and said, "I'm sorry."<br /><br /><br />"So, who's surprised?"<br /><br />"Actions speak louder"One voice countshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05144471319229260793noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7997558258247799050.post-16711413318247537002011-05-03T14:39:00.000-04:002011-05-03T14:41:03.561-04:00The Door and Little Ben — And stubborn Hope<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiPYOhfSkRJGSyDqDmF0NsWnjAgd23jkrZ7NkXinXXOwkpCFrMgUwkxzxzJEonVFvwnItPPWPIfpYu-BWwTz9eW2IgeMgHB-qUzSCemxf39fp1sQ3v_hxIIWeDbJUZWp48NwmNnA6NWp8Q/s1600/100_7723.JPG"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiPYOhfSkRJGSyDqDmF0NsWnjAgd23jkrZ7NkXinXXOwkpCFrMgUwkxzxzJEonVFvwnItPPWPIfpYu-BWwTz9eW2IgeMgHB-qUzSCemxf39fp1sQ3v_hxIIWeDbJUZWp48NwmNnA6NWp8Q/s400/100_7723.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5601804615575546658" /></a>

<br />In late February I called a friend to help me replace a <span style="font-weight:bold;">door</span>. It was — we thought — a simple task. But a combination of missed steps, <a href="http://www.homedepot.com/Doors-Windows/h_d1/N-5yc1vZaqih/h_d2/Navigation?langId=-1&storeId=10051&catalogId=10053&cs=500921">Home Depot</a> hell, 5 o'clock traffic and lost tools turned a three hour project into a marathon.
<br />
<br />He made the <a href="http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/mortise">mortises</a> for the hinges with a hammer, a screwdriver and infinite <span style="font-weight:bold;">patience</span>. The tools we'd purchased for the task had gone missing. I became increasingly agitated attempting to locate the errant tools. He became calmer, entered a flipping <a href="http://stress.about.com/od/stressmanagementglossary/g/Zen.htm">Zen state</a>, and worked on The Door on the back porch well into the night. Darren <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MacGyver">MacGyver</a>, with the aid of a hanging utility light and <span style="font-weight:bold;">Sir BRADLEY</span> Basset, padding back and forth insistently to check on his progress.
<br />
<br />That door was the beginning of a Lewis <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lewis_Carroll#Alice">Carroll</a>-esqe down the rabbit hole journey. Ancient threads unravelled and new ones appeared, but so clouded in <a href="http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/maya?show=0&t=1304273937">maya</a> I couldn't see them. Jagged slivers of mistrust melted in a <span style="font-weight:bold;">mystical</span> alchemy understood only by the <a href="http://www.manataka.org/eldersspeak.html">Elders</a>. And all the while <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wakan_Tanka">Great Spirit</a> watched over me, even as I stamped my feet and wailed like stubborn HOPE, who at the time was high heartworm positive and damn sick and tired of being in her crate. So she threw <a href="http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=hissy+fit">hissy fits</a>. Stamped her paws on the Kuranda bed, slapped her water bucket, deliberately sloshed water on the floor, then banged the water bucket again. Because she wanted attention and she wanted it r i g h t t h e n r i g h t n o w. And in case you missed the foot stamping and bucket slapping she would let rip with piercing soprano shrieks — a once feral now semi-domesticated and not too damn happy about that pit bull. HOPE is not very patient. But she does have a <span style="font-weight:bold;">voice</span>. And she is growing. <a href="http://badrap-blog.blogspot.com/2009/01/stubborn-hope.html">Stubborn Hope</a>.

<br />Seven weeks ago I drove to <a href="http://www.cityofgadsden.com/Default.asp?ID=636">Gadsden, Alabama</a> to get Little BEN, one of the <a href="http://yesbiscuit.wordpress.com/2011/03/01/the-alabama-44-this-is-not-a-rescue/">HSUS Alabama 44</a>. He was scared to leave. His best friend and teacher KIMBO gave him a reassuring nose kiss when he froze on the walkway outside the front door. Uncertain, tenuous, his run at the astonishing <a href="http://www.humanesocietyetowahcounty.org/shelter-info/about-us">Humane Society of Etowah County</a> the only <span style="font-weight:bold;">safety</span> he'd known since being taken from his home, the place he was born, by <a href="http://yesbiscuit.wordpress.com/2010/12/23/hsus-rescues-44-dogs-from-al-home-where-are-they-now/">HSUS</a>. Loaded in a van and transported to Etowah County for<a href="http://www.humanesociety.org/issues/abuse_neglect/facts/alabama_hoarding_case_response.html"> processing</a>. Along with his 43 brothers, sisters and cousins thrice removed. I understood his fear. He was leaving what had become home, a place where the executive director, the licensed vet tech, four kennel/animal health care techs and two adoption counselors <a href="https://picasaweb.google.com/samanthalaine310/HumaneSocietyOfEtowahCountyALADayInTheLife?authkey=Gv1sRgCIXizpbpmdfCYA#">all work together</a> — all areas, including cleaning the runs. Sometimes new beginnings are scary, and Little BEN was leaving home. <span style="font-weight:bold;">Again</span>. And saying goodbye to the very few people he had come to trust.
<br />
<br /><a href="https://picasaweb.google.com/samanthalaine310/LittleBENSJourneyGAALNCHSUSAL44Survivor?authkey=Gv1sRgCI-UipnbqrimfQ#">Little BEN</a> and I crossed three state lines, <span style="font-weight:bold;">unexpectedly</span> spending the night in Atlanta. Horsesugar hit the proverbial fan after we left I-20 and hit the I-285 city loop. Stalled in bumper to bumper waiting to get on I-85 we saw miles ahead of more bumper to bumper. Flashbacks to the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/U.S._Route_101_in_California">101</a>. Too much traffic, too much <a href="http://stress.about.com/od/understandingstress/Understanding_Stress_Stress_Basics_Causes_of_Stress_Research.htm">stress</a>. Little BEN and I called it a night.
<br />
<br />On the way back to Charlotte the next day I listened to Aaron Neville singing "<a href="http://www.cduniverse.com/aaron-neville-to-make-me-who-i-am-lyrics-9114381.htm">To Make Me Who I Am</a>." Realized life was taking a sharp <span style="font-weight:bold;">turn</span> into the everything is gonna be all right lane. If <a href="http://aaronneville.com/about/">Aaron Neville</a> can make it out of where he lived and who he was, and still be singing like an angel with a voice to cut the cloud mist at <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Machu_Picchu">Machu Picchu</a>, I for damn sure can beat the bad rap of small minded individuals — who judge, opine and feed the gossip mongering naysayer machine. People who have no flippin clue about <a href="http://samanthalaine310.blogspot.com/2010/12/mental-illness-sing-hallelujah.html">mental health issues</a>. Nor, as far as I can tell, compassion. Yep, I for damn sure can keep on doing what I love best. Helping dogs. Walking in their paws. Asking their two-leggeds a whole lotta questions, getting to the what-when-where-how of the triggers and cues responsible for the <a href="http://www.k9aggression.com/Aggression/aggression_main.html">behavior</a> which has brought them to me. Teaching their two-leggeds how to erase those cues and triggers, replace them with new ones. Positive instead of negative. Joyful instead of fearful. <span style="font-weight:bold;">Open</span> instead of closed. Inclusive rather than exclusive. Four paws up and sixteen pads wiggling whilst rolling <a href="https://picasaweb.google.com/samanthalaine310/HOPEInTheGreenGreenGrass?authkey=Gv1sRgCIvlhrytjpSlOg#">in the green green grass</a>.
<br />
<br />A very special thanks to KONA, KIRA, NINA, RAY RAY, BLUE and NICK Pratt for teaching Little BEN everything he needs to know about being all the dog he can be. '<a href="http://www.lifeisgood.com/playmakers/">Life is good. Let it</span> <span style="font-weight:bold;">fly</span>.</a>'

Seven weeks ago today I left<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gadsden,_Alabama"> Gadsden, Alabama</a> with one little guy from the <a href="http://yesbiscuit.wordpress.com/2011/03/01/the-alabama-44-this-is-not-a-rescue/">HSUS AL 44</a>. Little BEN. We crossed three state lines. I listened to Aaron Neville. And wept. Yep. <a href="http://samanthalaine310.blogspot.com/2010/12/mental-illness-sing-hallelujah.html">Everything's gonna be alright</a>.
<br />
<br />
Little BEN is in foster with the Pratt family. KONA, NINA, KIRA, BLUE, RAY RAY and NICK are teaching him absoflippingluteley everything there is to know about singing "I am DOG" loud, clear and fearless. Darren, Michelle, Alex and Tori are doing everything right — leaving Little BEN alone and letting him come to them. It's all about <a href="http://samanthalaine310.blogspot.com/2009/03/stand-up-guy.html">time and respect</a>. Little BEN is learning to trust humans. Long road for him.

<br />
<br />
I’ve walked through this world sometimes without a friend
<br />
My life has been up and down, been close to an end
<br />
But I’ve been through the mill
<br />
And I’ve paid my dues
<br />
Walked so many miles in different peoples shoes
<br />
<br />
But I’ve been through the fire
<br />
And I’ve walked in the rain
<br />
I’ve felt the joy and endured the pain
<br />
<br />
Once I was a schemer
<br />
But I always was a dreamer
<br />
But it took me who I was and where I’ve been
<br />
To make me who I am
<br />
<br />
I’ve met a lot of lost souls in the bowels of hell
<br />
Traveled some crooked roads, got some stories yet to tell
<br />
I’ve shot up with the junkie, in piss stench halls
<br />
Broken bread with the devil, fallen on my knees to god
<br />
Some days I was blessed, some nights I was damned
<br />
But I always tried to lend a helping hand
<br />
<br />
Once I was a deceiver
<br />
Not I am a believer
<br />
But it took me who I was and where I’ve been
<br />
To make me who I am
<br />
<br />
Oh, I’ve seen the little children, all strung out on dope
<br />
No one to care about them, living without hope
<br />
But I’ve been lucky that I always had a song
<br />
I’ll sing it with compassion, to try to right the wrong.
<br />
<br />
Once my life was wretched
<br />
But why should I regret it
<br />
Cuz, it took me who I was, and where I’ve been
<br />
To make me who I am
<br />
<br />
Speech:
<br />
This is dedicated to my friends in jail
<br />
For my brother jake who had to ride the rail
<br />
For my friend roonie and melvin, who were so dear
<br />
They were so misunderstood
<br />
But I wish they were still here
<br />
To hear this song I sing from my heart
<br />
They’re forever in my soul, even though we had to part
<br />
<br />
Once I was a deceiver
<br />
Not I am a believer
<br />
But it took me who I was and where I’ve been
<br />
To make me who I am
<br />
<br />
God said I forgive you
<br />
Wipe away the scars
<br />
Cause I know it took who you were
<br />
And where you came from
<br />
To make you who you are
<br />
<br />
Cause I know it took who you were
<br />
And where you came from
<br />
To make you what you areOne voice countshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05144471319229260793noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7997558258247799050.post-25859136953717224242011-04-23T11:44:00.015-04:002011-04-23T13:44:54.753-04:00Stand by me — Aaron Neville<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg2C11FgQRh1GsKX2atTTyvgXftjvfZnq28XkTv6ly-lXzl7Dq7xTXRC-6K484kEJggMxPchRgF1IAnRpSAWei3qbshEGZQbj36CJ0h5EnlDzLjogg-xbyxta_YNV_lc0GMOjmjbAJXgcM/s1600/Aaron+Neville+-+2009+NOLA.jpg"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 267px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg2C11FgQRh1GsKX2atTTyvgXftjvfZnq28XkTv6ly-lXzl7Dq7xTXRC-6K484kEJggMxPchRgF1IAnRpSAWei3qbshEGZQbj36CJ0h5EnlDzLjogg-xbyxta_YNV_lc0GMOjmjbAJXgcM/s400/Aaron+Neville+-+2009+NOLA.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5598835884793209986" /></a><br /><br />Go here to listen:<br /><br /><span style="font-weight:bold;"><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TU_Tj3pOS5M&playnext=1&list=PL699BCAA3EC5F2FEA">Stand by me</a></span><br /><br />When the night has come<br />And the land is dark<br />And the moon is the only light we'll seehttp://www.blogger.com/img/blank.gif<br />No I won't be afraid, no I won't be afraid<br />Just as long as you stand, stand by me<br /><br />And darlin', darlin', stand by me, oh now now stand by me<br />Stand by me, stand by me<br /><br />If the sky that we look upon<br />Should tumble and fall<br />And the mountains should crumble to the sea<br />I won't cry, I won't cry, no I won't shed a tear<br />Just as long as you stand, stand by me<br /><br />And darlin', darlin', stand by me, oh stand by me<br />Stand by me, stand by me, stand by me-e, yeah<br /><br />Whenever you're in trouble won't you stand by me, oh now now stand by me<br />Oh stand by me, stand by me, stand by me<br /><br />Darlin', darlin', stand by me-e, stand by me<br />Oh stand by me, stand by me, stand by me<br /><br />Lyrics: Ben E. King<br /><br />"Born January 24, 1941, <a href="http://www.vervemusicgroup.com/aaronneville/bio/">Aaron</a> is the third of the four famous Neville Brothers of New Orleans. A product of that city's richly complex musical culture, his first vocal model was older brother Art, keyboardist and founder of the Meters. Brother Charles played sax with B.B. King while brother Cyril became Aaron's partner in a funk band they called the Soul Machine."<br /><br />"Throughout the sixties Aaron recorded for local Louisiana labels, but it wasn't until 1966 that he broke onto the national scene with "Tell It Like It Is," the plaintive ballad that went #1 on the pop charts, a song still considered a classic in the annals of American music. Issued on the obscure Par-Lo Records, the hit unfortunately coincided with the label's demise. With no follow-up and few royalties, Aaron's career stalled. Beset by demons both professional and personal, he struggled for the next ten years."One voice countshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05144471319229260793noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7997558258247799050.post-45290404655064043542011-04-03T09:04:00.006-04:002011-04-03T09:31:22.345-04:00KAZU — one little guy in New York<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEilxz5hjlyOn38dlJVXhGG9c74JB12VHB-laXeYgk5kbp8aM9CcY5fnJ7R4aSW7_ucUPYziKuIJqUDl_08kHe_ZvMd0J7LlweBn8JmrStQ-KLsquCYuJzJXVylSBJd480GBVwazSKAi1VU/s1600/KAZU+-+LI.JPG"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 374px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEilxz5hjlyOn38dlJVXhGG9c74JB12VHB-laXeYgk5kbp8aM9CcY5fnJ7R4aSW7_ucUPYziKuIJqUDl_08kHe_ZvMd0J7LlweBn8JmrStQ-KLsquCYuJzJXVylSBJd480GBVwazSKAi1VU/s400/KAZU+-+LI.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5591342979276756306" /></a><br /><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chief_Joseph">Chief Joseph</a> said "It does not require many words to speak the truth."<br /><br />The truth about KAZU is that he needs our help.

So we say mitakuye oyasin." <a href="http://www.csustan.edu/english/reuben/pal/chap7/blackelk.html">Black Elk</a>One voice countshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05144471319229260793noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7997558258247799050.post-51498709861339992592011-03-28T16:30:00.001-04:002011-03-28T16:43:40.126-04:00One little guy in Tennessee —<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiIoyzoHo1-xJja1bWXUn-qJ3pn-M3wJn2qr-IOw9CPzT3uWINoHo4fwVIPfIhAUg6tPED1dypfYkYWPfyyagYyQMM2j3ZqXbFbgxCiCUR7EXyTuL-9eH_Auo4uApO8sBxA6B3Isxf01uo/s1600/Jami+and+BJ+3B.jpg"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 321px; height: 327px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiIoyzoHo1-xJja1bWXUn-qJ3pn-M3wJn2qr-IOw9CPzT3uWINoHo4fwVIPfIhAUg6tPED1dypfYkYWPfyyagYyQMM2j3ZqXbFbgxCiCUR7EXyTuL-9eH_Auo4uApO8sBxA6B3Isxf01uo/s400/Jami+and+BJ+3B.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5588451068807992850" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgAafB01W99ipYHe5aoNbjtauVkzJCUNXym2yJ2jxeHF-sSAuItCyuzIRlJeeIZjbfNCRyvRVqBcCCIY_nlA016OCsSzVvlsjMuQ3uvQtHBhfBLW550fnRY_CoKYSWQohNehT_UF8E0lZ4/s1600/Baby+BJ.jpg"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 322px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgAafB01W99ipYHe5aoNbjtauVkzJCUNXym2yJ2jxeHF-sSAuItCyuzIRlJeeIZjbfNCRyvRVqBcCCIY_nlA016OCsSzVvlsjMuQ3uvQtHBhfBLW550fnRY_CoKYSWQohNehT_UF8E0lZ4/s400/Baby+BJ.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5588451074869153938" /></a><br />BJ was named after his dad, BRAVO. Who was married to BJ's Mom PEACHES. BRAVO, JR. was shortened to BJ by the caregivers at <a href="http://www.kingsporttn.gov/animalshelter">Kingsport Animal Shelte</a>r in <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kingsport,_Tennessee">Kingsport, TN</a>. His parents were confiscated during a cruelty case investigation two years ago. BJ was born and raised in the kennels, adopted out as a puppy when he was eight months old. He was returned last week with neck wounds, which are being treated. According to the owner, BJ had disappeared a month ago, then showed back up at his house on Saturday March 19. The owner surrendered BJ because he said he was aggressive towards his <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Miniature_Pinscher">Min Pin</a>. Caregivers report that BJ is very sweet tempered and loves two-leggeds. He recognized the shelter staff — and seemed relieved to be back with them. Here are <a href="http://cooniegoonie.smugmug.com/Pets/Rescue-Pets/BJShelterPitbull/16257640_7Kgnr#1221297978_jbumv">more pictures of BJ</a>, whose favorite song is "Penguins" by Lyle Lovett. Number 14 on <a href="http://www.lylelovett.com/#/video/">videos link. </a> BJ is available for adoption or transfer to rescue.

Respectfully voice your disappointment that SLED declines to intervene in the case of <a href="http://www.wsoctv.com/news/27085002/detail.html">[ up to 22] dogs shot in the head by ACOs</a> in Chesterfield Co SC.

Move forward instead of sideways and backwards. Sounds silly but I realized yesterday I never finished grieving for Edna. She died April 9, 2009. Maudy Thursday. And <a href="http://samanthalaine310.blogspot.com/2010/08/mom.html">not a day goes by</a> that I do not wonder what bridge <a href="http://samanthalaine310.blogspot.com/2010/12/mental-illness-sing-hallelujah.html">I'd be living under</a> were it not for her. And not a day goes by that I do not say dear God, I do know that so much of me is my crazy Dad John Abraham from Spotslvania County VA who gave new meaning to the phrase blue blood as well as to the phrase crazy mfer. But dear God I do also know that I am daughter of Edna, who was born in <a href="http://northcarolina.hometownlocator.com/nc/union/roughedge.cfm">RoughEdge</a> NC, Union County. I am finding ways and will find more. To honor her memory, her talk, her way of living a life of purpose and love. Her Cowboy Ethics. <a href="http://cedarposts.blogspot.com/2011/02/mondays-odds-and-ends.html">Thank you CP</a> for those.
