Epic Furry

@Herb_Minstrel @michellmybell1 I hope you get your dog back but why do I feel there's more to this story?

We were hopeful for Lucy’s release today. That did not happen. So tonight, we are still waiting. Still praying. Still fighting. But things do seem to be moving in the right direction for Lucy, and for that, I am so grateful. That said, today was also deeply eye-opening for me. And not in a good way. Photos were brought up today of one of our dogs from a fight between our two Pyrenees littermate brothers that happened years ago on our property—a situation completely unrelated to Lucy or anyone else. It should be noted that littermate aggression, especially before neutering, is a common issue in dogs. These were rescue dogs from a poor breeding situation, and based on advice from experienced breeders, we delayed neutering in hopes of allowing for better physical development and reducing future joint and hip problems. Those photos were taken entirely out of context, without my knowledge or consent, and were being used as evidence against us. (I’ll quickly note that those dogs have long-since been neutered and are just a couple of big teddy bears.) When I questioned how it is legal for neighbors to photograph our property and animals, I was told they absolutely can surveil and report whatever they see fit. It was even suggested they should given the circumstances. I honestly had no words. To sit there feeling like we are some sort of violent criminals who need to be monitored by self-appointed watchdog neighbors was beyond infuriating. We were called liars. Told we had “misrepresented” Lucy’s story. Told it was all our fault Lucy is locked away and that we had let her down. Told we were wrong for allowing this to gain attention on social media. We simply told our story and it resonated with people. I’m not sure how you could fault us for that. But, let me reiterate clearly, once again, because we have always been transparent: Lucy was involved in fights with two dogs over a decade, years apart, with the most recent being over a year ago. We were horrified. We paid the vet bills. We took responsibility. Then, about a year ago, shortly after surgery, while heavily medicated, in pain, and wearing a cone, Lucy bit a passing jogger after slipping loose. It was a terrible situation, one we also took full responsibility for, paid the ER bills, and deeply apologized. This occurrence is what set the dangerous dog declaration into motion. Agreeing to that dangerous dog declaration is what gave them the power to take Lucy after a brief leash slip. We were told for the first time today, that had she been muzzled, we wouldn’t be in this situation. It’s that simple. The terrifying part in all of this is not that we are pretending mistakes never happened. It’s that isolated moments and selective images can apparently be used to create a false story about a family while years of responsible ownership are completely ignored. Neighbors have spent years gossiping, sharing photos, creating text chains and Facebook groups, and pushing false narratives about our family, and we are being told there is little protection against it. Because while there may not be laws against cruel, invasive, or obsessive behavior, there certainly seem to be plenty of laws waiting for families to make a mistake. Imagine living under the feeling that every movement on your property is being watched and documented to potentially be weaponized against you. It is deeply disturbing. That said, I truly do believe the DA has Lucy’s best interest at heart and we remain hopeful she will be returned to us. If you continue contacting the Commonwealths Attorney’s office, please remain kind. I beg you. We are still standing. We are still fighting. And we believe Lucy is coming home. Please continue praying for Lucy’s release, for our family, and for my emotional and mental well-being. This has been incredibly heavy to carry. Change needs to happen. It will happen. And I believe Lucy’s story is going to help bring it. We miss her so much! #savelucy

Remember when we all had to switch to paper straws to save the environment?

@MarioNawfal Then there was Boutros Boutros-Ghali who lived in New York, New York. 😂

🇺🇸 FBI SWAT just shot and killed a bank robbery suspect after a standoff in Chicago's West Garfield Park. The suspect, 25-year-old Abdulhafedh Abdulhafedh, came up through the sunroof and opened fire. Agents returned fire and killed him on the spot.

@MarioNawfal That's some name.

@Rainmaker1973 @JSLauderdale

An Austrian Tongue Choir from the Alps region of Tyrol sings ‘Moscow Nights’ with their tongue in a 1982 performance. If not for the Internet, we’d never know music videos like this existed.

@EvanNFTs @Herb_Minstrel @brendanmjones @SaraGonzalesTX @TLisFearless @LoneStarChica Now there's an idea!

@Herb_Minstrel @RedheadAndRight @brendanmjones @SaraGonzalesTX @TLisFearless @LoneStarChica If you care enough about your dog to type a bajillion words like that, then rally your people, walk up in there and get your dog back or fucking forget about her while she dies on a concrete slab.

Six weeks. SIX FLIPPING WEEKS. Lucy has not heard our voices. She hasn't slept on her rug. She hasn't gone for a ride in the truck. She hasn't been snuggled by her family, played with Lex, or run free in her own field. SIX WEEKS. She's been locked in a tiny cell, sleeping on concrete, likely wondering why we abandoned her. SIX WEEKS. She's eleven years old. She doesn't have endless time ahead of her. She could get sick. Her health could fail. Every day matters. And while everyone moves at a snail's pace, without a care in the world, time keeps slipping away from MY DOG—the dog who was taken because a petty neighbor decided to call the authorities when she slipped out of her collar in our OWN YARD! This wasn't some outrageous act! This wasn't a purposeful violation of anything and didn’t cause incident. This wasn't the terrifying incident the neighbors or government would like people to believe it was. It was a normal, everyday occurrence that happened on our private property! We could have lied. We could have denied it happened. No one had proof otherwise: But that's not who we are. So for six weeks, my Lucy—my eleven-year-old dog who stood watch over our family through deployment after deployment, who kept me company during the lonely nights when I watched the news and wondered if my husband would make it home alive—has sat in prison. This is a sick abuse of the law, and an innocent animal is paying the price. Not for biting someone. Not for attacking someone. Not for leaving and roaming the neighborhood. For being in her own yard. Let that sink in. And because malicious neighbors refused to mind their own business, and because officials with the power to do the right thing have refused to exercise any bit of common sense, she remains there. They make me sick. The abuse of power makes me sick. The character assassination makes me sick. The lies make me sick. The fact that people who have never met us, never spoken to us, and don't know the first thing about our family have spent years trying to destroy our peace makes me sick. Enough is enough! Let Lucy come home already! Is this really the hill anyone wants to die on? It’s a single dog. It’s an average family. Send her back and leave us alone. That’s all we want. And for those who have participated in this injustice—whether through malice, cowardice, pride, or indifference, know this: God sees every bit of it. He knows the truth. And one day, every one of us will answer to Him. Until our Lucy is home and beyond. We will not stop fighting. #savelucy

@MarioNawfal If my mother wasn't on antidepressants, NO ONE could be around her. She has had and always had a chemical imbalance. Our whole damn family is majorly efd in the brain. Some people absolutely NEED these meds.

@MarioNawfal This is insane First he wants pain medication stopped, now antidepressant’s and anti anxiety medication But he’s cool with tanning beds and ozempic??? Lunacy

@MargaritaDwjak @MarioNawfal A lot of people need those medications and it's none of your damn business or RFKs.

@MarioNawfal “RFK Jr going after anti depressants”. Long , long overdue. Anti depressants and anti anxiety pills are causing a lot harms to people.

🇺🇸 RFK Jr. is going after antidepressants. 1 in 6 American adults is currently on one. Kennedy just issued a formal letter directing providers to push non-drug treatments and tighten informed consent rules. His central claim: SSRI withdrawal can be harder to get through than heroin withdrawal. The real issue is whether 17 million Americans were ever clearly told what getting off them actually involves.

@MarioNawfal We're not really going to go down that road of opioids are we? Pulling opioid medication from people who live with extreme pain has been an absolute disaster. I'm sick of RFK. Whether I need an antidepressant or not is between me and my doctor. The same with painkillers.

🚨 BREAKING: MASS PANIC is happening outside ICE Newark as NJSP order leftists to disperse their camp immediately They’re FRANTICALLY scrambling clear their camp This should’ve happened DAYS ago. But our pressure is WORKING! 🔥

🚨 BREAKING: FBI has just RAIDED and ARRESTED the man who I caught on video threatening the lives of an ICE agent and his family outside ICE Newark Nicholas Scelfo is facing FEDERAL FELONIES THIS IS HOW IT’S DONE! 🔥 THANK YOU to @FBIDirectorKash and @DAGToddBlanche for PERSONALLY working with me on this. You PROMISED you’d find him, and you delivered. WELL DONE! 👏 ACTING AG BLANCHE: “FAFO.”

@ZoyaBloomz @MANSOORNABI12 Distance is a strategy.

Not everyone who has access to you is safe with information about you. Some people do not attack directly. They collect details, pass them softly, then act surprised when your peace gets disturbed. Privacy is a boundary. The less your life is available to careless mouths, the harder it becomes for the wrong people to reach you.

Your enemies can't touch you without inside info. Your so-called friends are often the door they walk through. Lock it.

@PeaceisBeing 💯

This is why I cut people off. Why would you let people in just to undermine you? Such a waste of life. I never regret cutting people off. Block is still the best feature on this site.

Mosques are popping up like a fungus in every city in the U.S. Yet so many Americans are asking why are they stopping traffic to “pray” in the streets. It’s not about prayer, folks. It’s a declaration of war. The invaders are declaring their ownership.

@4thOfJuly365 @GarrettJGrimes You forgot the one where Rubio made a statement about Trump's small hands. And Trump said "well I know what you're getting at but I guarantee there's nothing wrong in that department". 🥒😂

#1 is definitely my favorite. 🤣

Honestly, the more you dig into arrests records the more it becomes clear that something is going on here. I have found over 50+ Hispanic men in my county in NC that are labeled as WHITE MALES in arrest records. Almost ALL of them are illegal aliens. How do you explain this?!

@HollyBriden @martinamcbride She is the left.

@martinamcbride Be honest. Just say you’re afraid of the left.
