2011 DESS News

JANUARY
I hope this new year brings everyone much happiness, prosperity and
most importantly, good health!!!

Now for the bad news.
My city has fallen to animal rights advocate influences. The city council passed
more anti-pet legislation. Effective January 1, 2011 the city has made if virtually impossible for any reputable breeder to have puppies.   If this continues, soon it will be virtually impossible to own a purebred dog.
Sadly the new ordinance targets reputable breeders only. It does nothing to irresponsible pet owners who didn't follow any kind of pet regulations before and it certainly will not stop any substandard breeders from producing more puppies. All this will do is keep people like me from having quality purebred puppies availabe to the public.   Most neighborhoods are not zoned for commercial business.
Since I am an advocate for my rights and member of pet organizations that
offer realistic solutions to city problems, that leaves me open target for the crazies. Already I've received an onslaught of atypical inquiries of puppy requests.

I do not have any plans to have any puppies in the future.

Please cherish your Daystar Kids. Thank you so much for loving them and
giving them such wonderful homes.

January 5th
The decision was made by my doctor and nurse case manager and myself
to be taken off light duty status at work. I am not close to my pre injury
condition, but my employer told me that I would be fired if I didn't go back
to full duty. Effective today, I am full duty. HNY to me.

February

We experienced record breaking sub-zero weather!  Terrible power outages, water pipes breaking!

It was time to upgrade my vehicle. Over 8 yrs with my Ford Explorer, I traded it for a new Honda Element.   I look forward to atleast 8 years with my
Element. It's too cool. I love it!

HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY (muah)

March

I really am tired of people who can without a blink, thinks it's no big deal
to go against their own word, break their promises and forget about their signed contract on their adult dog simply because they want a cute puppy. They will say anything to get what they want. Even BEG you, may I have that puppy! Then they forget their word is their vow, forget the promises, and most of all sacrifice a friendship.
Am I the only one, who thinks, my word, a promise is to be kept regardless...
I despise the thought of having to lower my standards, my expectations just so I won't have to be disappointed by human actions.
