Our l'il sweetie is more or less in the clear, feeling perkier, on the rise and the Vet himself took her for a walk this morning! She needs a light diet and to be watched - but yes, she CAN come home!
She'll have to be watched and the yard will have to be checked over regularly, now that it's happened again (antifreeze was used on my doby-shephard 2 yrs ago when he died)
And there's ONE v-e-r-y important factor with everything I write...
and it's ONE thing that folks who visit here can be sure of,
if I wrote anything here or on any of my other sites
- that wasn't TRUE -
the law would be at my door in an INSTANT and I'd be charged!
And "they" watch what I write and complaints are made -
but nothing can be done
because I have proof of everything I write...
...and realizing that it can be somewhat unbelievable to some, the fact remains, I write what has actually happened or happens - documented (whether at the vet, the RC's, P.A.C. - Corp Reg, Ombudsman) and fact.
So yes, my family and I have had our lives seriously imposed upon by those who "assume" and meddle no matter how nice we've been, no matter what we've tried to do for the community, no matter our investments or how nice we fixed up our homes - those select few just love to rein havic and I waited too long (almost 4 yrs) to return the challenge.
I was reading over at the "Comment Corner" about how when one is hired and new at an "office" - how that office has it's regular routine and ways of doing things - so one has to "fit in" as opposed to challenging or changing things. I compare that to this village that obtains a population of 380 people in a county of over 4,000 - between 2 major s. alberta cities.
I agree to a certain extent becuz team work is essential when it comes to positive advancement and management of daily functions. Without it, major companies - just wouldn't be a major company. However, times keep changing and one must evolve with the times and requirements of the times - remembering common goals - as people.
Sometimes, offices, need to evolve and without someone that's looking for betterment and change, things stay stagnet - repressed from the lack of education and evolution.
"Fitting into the click" is not always the best way to get ahead.
If you were hired to do the job, obviously it was because the boss felt that your skills were in demand, your referances were sufficient and your efficiency was/is required.
Being "who" you are, is the best way to go - doing what you do best. Bottom line.
IT is a known fact that people are creatures of habit, people feel secure in their routines and can get quite uncomfortable with "change". They even fight it because they want things to remain the same - remain the same being the key words.
What it boils down to is a matter of respect, one must "earn" that respect. What it boils down to is a matter of morales, each to their own, so where is the line drawn? Who's to say "what the limit is"?
"The Limit" is a matter of personal judgement and stagmina and a business office - needs to stick to business at hand.
One rule for ALL.
Outside the office, we pick and choose who we wish to socialize with within our comfort zones. That's why it is called our "personal life" - however at the office, it's individual skills that make the circle complete. Not opinions but Facts, products and or services.
When everyone is working towards the same goals, whether indivdually implementing one's skills with the different skills of another or as a group, the melting pot ultimately achieves the natural effect of order, as each person denotes their talents and skills in achievement.
If someone could do everything themselves, they wouldn't need anybody and this is where acceptance falls into place.
I couldn't agree more with what I read over at C.C, however, when someone "new" tries to please everyone as opposed to carrying on with their duties and responsibilities and tries to be someone they are not, nothing good can be accomplished. When things get too personal at the office, you've got a bad team.
Being "new" and having to prove oneself, is a challenge in itself but when folks start squashing your talents because it is "new" to them, well frankly, again, you've got a bad team.
When the rules only apply to a select few - then you've got favoritism and a "click" and clicks have to be dispersed so that acceptance of each individual falls back into order.
Each person plays a role in the order of things. When there's non acceptance or compliance of someone or something "new" - that's where opinions come in and opinions are not facts.
When opinions are followed by malice acts and people's rights are imposed upon, it's time for a new order of things.
I came into the office and cleaned out my desk to do my job. I was busy doing what was required of me to fulfill the needs of the tasks at hand. I cannot apologize for being busy and not changing everything in my life to stop what I was doing to hang out, slow down or better yet, be a failure.
I opened a store in my garage with left over stock from my store and booths at the market, taking into consideration that being "new" here, I had hoped that the store was an opportunity for folks to come, whether they bought something or not. It was an opportunity for them to come and meet me, to come to my home and see who I was and what I was up to. If they wanted to hang out, that was the place to do it - while I worked.
I had kids who wanted things but had no money, so I got them to do a few simple tasks to work off what they wanted.
$5.00 bag sales (stuffed bags with extras) on all the clothes and I even built a changing room with a full length mirror. The younger gals just loved it! (back then the population was 358 people)
My clientele came off the highway and brought business to others in the village - I thought it was a good thing! But to those few select, I was a crook coming here to make money off of poor people - and who did I think I was coming here and doing that - without their permission (but the Village did give us a licence) and - so and so already tried this, it didn't work and if folks thought that a maple dresser was too expensive at $15.00 - I wonder when was the last time they were out of the village and in a second hand shop where they'd pay $95 for the same dresser in worse condition.
My computer guy, began fixing computers for kids in the village who's parents could not afford to buy one - I put on the craft classes in the summer, paying for everything myself - all the paints, supplies and provided the space.
I painted a mural on my garage of Grainaries by the train tracks, I grew a massive garden, built a fence, babysat my grandson, had kids over and tended to my animals. I walked around with a smile on my face and tried to sell products of others.
"Who did I think I was coming here with a smile on my face and progressively advancing around my home - rocking the boat and waving to passer bys who waved, while tending to my garden eh? What is she up to anyway - who is she and who does she think she is?" is all I got from the select few.
I use to wear a halter top and my jean shorts while doing the garden. Well, I stopped doing that, cuz every tom, dick and harry would come by and the ladies were whispering "whore".
I closed my store becuz of punks who'd go ripping by kicking up stones that would hit people who were potential shoppers and they almost hit 4 kids coming down the back lane who were on their way to see me.
My garden was destroyed by kids of opposers who destroyed it with Fire Estinguishers that they stole.
They killed my 15 yr old cat and poisoned my doby-shephard - yep they sure wiped "that smile" from my face and brought my life down to their level. Miserable!
And the nice folks around here can't figure out what happened and why I am so hurt and angry... they only get one side of the story.
Who did I think I was coming here to be happy and live my busy life?
My second house was broken into and the cupboards were shot out and one night while I was there in utter pain from an absessed tooth, with my daughter waiting outside to drive me to the hospital, I heard a noise in the bathroom, assumed it was a cat and paid no mind becuz of all the pain I was in, but low and behold the next day when I had some t-3's and antibiotics in me and was cleaning, I went to clean the bathroom and found the toilet seat split down the middle with shoe prints on it!!! Someone was in there when I walked in and hid in the bathroom up on the toilet seat...
I caught two punks running from my home at 1:30 a.m. (2 yrs ago) after helping my daughter's roomie move in - my companion was at the house sleeping and so was my grandson. The culprits locked my grandson in the room in case he awoke and heard them in the living room unplugging my computer to steal it and when they saw me coming down the street, my front door flew open and they ran in different directions - leaving the door wide open and 7 of the animals got loose. The RC who attended the call, stayed until 4:30 a.m. and helped me get the animals back in the house and the list goes on!
Everything that has happened, has a time, a date and a report from some location....
So if I lash out, or "whine" as some like to refer to it as, then so be it!
And when one lashes out, it gives the challengers even more cuz it ignites the fire and there are further consequences!
And some folks thrive to fight, dispute, argue and destroy, it's their nature, so any rebuttle is seen as a new challenge, but I'm not seeking to rebuttle, I'm seeking for that handful to be held responsible to their actions... the bloody list of incidences is now a book - so I'd like to think there is enough evidence to proceed against the select few who have spread their malice and lies of hate.
They KNOW the havic and spiral they have imposed, it pleases them to know they have so deeply manipulated circumstances to the point of devestation - I'm only human and so is my family and there's only so much one person can take and take and take - 4 yrs is too long!
We actually believed that we were doing something terribly wrong for the few select to seek such venegance - so now they have something to talk about, cause now I vent and talk about what's gone on here in this village of now - 380 people!
And I'll say it again, there are some really- really nice folks here!
Some have gone to bats for us having witnessed things that totally blew their minds. One such gent, an older gent who is now retiring - owns a tow truck and upon witnessing damages to an older car we'd sold that "somehow" ended up in the back lane of my daughters and ByLaw was called saying we were trashing up village property with old beaters, took his tow truck and literally delivered the vehicule across a ditch and up to the person's front door who initially caused the crap and dumped it at my daughters and I mean - literally on their door step.
The RC's were called and I had to take the car back because I was the last registered owner and the gent I had sold it to a year before, had used it for some parts and it sat in his backyard. The trouble makers made him a deal for the car saying they needed it for something else and then had it pushed over to my daughters to simply make trouble!
No no, there are some really sweet people here who unfortunately have had their lives upset over incidences that occur and have come to my family's defence.
The RC's - well, they can't do nothing unless I set up a cam and "catch" someone for them. I don't have the money to do things like that anymore. I mean really, who can afford 9 vehicules in one year!? The first few cars were brought to 2 mechanics shops in verification that they'd been vandalized but again, without cam shots, nothing the RC's could do.
Remember, Vandalized cars, dead animals, businesses destroyed, gardens poisoned, mural full of brake fluid. No cam, no arrests...
This last incident with the Pup, my family and I believe that the individual who we suspect, decided that we already have too many animals here and that my grandson doesn't need a pupppy so he took it upon himself to "take care of that problem" ... this person does not work and is home all day, out and about, fishing and hunting and has already yelled at people who have helped us and is the boyfriend of the woman we are in court with..... no "evidence" or cam shots, no arrests.
The last time we called the RC's (when someone was in the rv at 4:50 a.m.), they told us we need to get pictures - we'd need 7-8 cams hooked up to puters - a complete room to set that all up in and throw our lives into watching out for malice attempts - talk about consuming a family's life!
So instead, we told the RC's (in our own anger) that if something happens again and we catch the person in the act, they won't have to worry about coming back here, cuz we'll do like everyone else and take the law into our own hands.
How do you think my grandson and 32 yr old daughter feel about everything that's happened?
One of my daughter's vehicules, is an immaculate little 1982 CRX Special Edition (i just luv her car and yes it's been vandalized too!) that now bears a little sign on the visor that says "this Bitch doesn't give a shit anymore" and she means it.
She went into the local watering hole to get a pack of smokes the other night (we are not welcome there) just to make a point of letting people know that her son's pup was poisoned and if she catches anyone near her yard, near her animals, her son or her mom and her animals, she'll gladly go to jail just to beat the living beegeesus out of the culprit - so she can explain to a Judge all the occurances that lead to that person's severe beating!!!! And she will!
Now is it a situation that is out of control? Of course it is!
One of my animal pens was completely unscrewed so the animals would get out and be at large - but not one screw was on the ground - hell no, they all showed up periodically in my tires! 16 tires later.... aggghhh!
Who in God's name has that much time on their hands?
Most folks around here treat me just fine - some treat me awesome, they've brought me tears of joy and chipped in with physical labor, even supplies - but they are not the ones ruining it for everyone, they are not the ones destroying everything, they are not the ones who bring grief or pain and loss after loss, defeating, negative and jeuvenile.
I don't want to leave, I didn't take my life savings to come out here to live like this or to leave. This is where I planned on retiring and watching my grandson grow up!
I don't want to leave, I want to stay and fight this out until justice is served and those who ruin this wonderful village for even the good folks - get fired! Go to jail, do not pass go - do not collect their A.J.E. or Welfare check... if society has to support them, then they are better off being supported in confinement where they can get their 3 square meals a day and run havic where havic belongs, behind bars.
And all this is because I began a non profit society taking in animals and using them with kids and people who have been known to hourd animals....
well if they thought I was a problem before, they ain't seen nothing yet.
Facts, dates, registered letters, police reports, spca reports and court documents is what the Ombudsman will be getting and this will get straightened out sooner or later....
And even though my family and I have lived through all this, I still have a hard time believing some of the crap that's gone on, so I can imagine how hard it is for others to believe...
** Hey, it's taken so long to write this, that the Pup is HOME!!!! Vet said that it's a miracle she pulled through - she's still lookin a little sluggish - but she's alive and back home!
We'll be on the lookout for further attempts - "someone" will be pissed their plan didn't work!
