Welcome to the Pet Memorial Group
Please have comfort in knowing that your pet is with you in your heart and memories forever. Somehow this thought gives me peace deep down, and I hope it does for you too. If you would like to light a virtual candle in your pet's name, follow this link. It's very comforting. Just cut and paste into your browser address bar if the link isn't clickable:

Comment by DiAnn Miller on November 13, 2009 at 11:49am - Mary Ellen, I'm so enraged at this! I hope you will pursue whatever legal avenues you can to make the police department accountable. If nothing else, seems they didn't have the right to forcibly enter your home without a warrant. You might want to start there. Please keep us posted and know that my thoughts and prayers are with you .

- Dear Mary Ellen, I am so sorry for your loss, is there anything you can do about this police officer? I am willing to sign petitions etc to help. I know it will never bring back your baby, but hopefully it will stop it happening

Kristi, Lacey is watching over you now and more than likely sent you the new puppy to love seeing how devasted you were. Lacey is not jealous-she is joyous knowing how much care and love you will give to another who had no home. Home your heart up to this new little one.
You and Lacey are in my thoughts tonite.

Comment by Mary Ellen Doss on November 12, 2009 at 7:37pm - I have lost one of the most faithful and loyal friends a single woman can have. My solid White Pit Bull male. The police was sent to my house at 3:00 AM by mistake. When told that we had an aggressive dog, to please wait a moment; he pushed the door open and my dog went after him. He didn't see a police officer, he saw a man come into the house in the middle of the night. The officer shot him in the back and paralyzed him. I had to have him put down. It was heart breaking. Now the CITY says that they are not responsible. There is no justice because he was a Pit Bull.

Comment by Kristi Watkins on November 10, 2009 at 2:29pm - Cheryl Martin, Thank you so much for always being there for me. Last night was very hard for me....I couldn't stop crying over Lacey, she was my child. I have a new puppy now, but I am very distant because I miss Lacey and I know she would be jealous that I was loving another dog, silly, I know.

I found it just easier to get blood work done and let the Vet test to see what my Max was allergic to and then treat from there. Most of it was food. A few out door stuff and that I couldn't help to avoid. Like me, I can not just not go outside for…
No, I realize you didn't.. but didn't want people to think that it is a cure-all for all itching.. only specific types AND it's an ongoing curative that needs to be continued for longer term.
Now, it's interesting to note that often times in young…
