Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Damn right I heard that as a threat.

A democracy can’t function when people can’t distinguish facts from lies.

fuckem (in honor of the late great efgoldman)

Thanks to your bullshit, we are now under siege.

This fight is for everything.

Pessimism assures that nothing of any importance will change.

“Can i answer the question? No you can not!”

Let’s finish the job.

Infrastructure week. at last.

We’ve had enough carrots to last a lifetime. break out the sticks.

Yeah, with this crowd one never knows.

Not all heroes wear capes.

Let me eat cake. The rest of you could stand to lose some weight, frankly.

Not so fun when the rabbit gets the gun, is it?

Bark louder, little dog.

Wow, I can’t imagine what it was like to comment in morse code.

Accused of treason; bitches about the ratings. I am in awe.

Putin must be throwing ketchup at the walls.

I’ve spoken to my cat about this, but it doesn’t seem to do any good.

Fuck these fucking interesting times.

They traffic in fear. it is their only currency. if we are fearful, they are winning.

Consistently wrong since 2002

After roe, women are no longer free.

Rescue Progress Update – Lucy in LA

by | 18 Comments

This post is in: ,

Update from Patti, who took the video above while arranging for Lucy’s original rescue:

Lucy was pulled by Much Love Rescue’s Krissy who fell in love with Lucy at the shelter. She pulled her out immediately to take her to Brendwood Animal Hospital to have the sore treated. Lucy will stay there until Friday, when she’ll go to another local hospital to an Oncologist since the tumors and the sore could possibly be cancerous. Eldad Hagar’s (Hope for Paws.org) generous donation to the rescue group is what makes all of these medical procedures, post-op and rehab possible. After Friday, we’re hoping Hal could possibly take her in to help Lucy through her post-op rehab, since being at a loving home is critical for recovery…

Thanks for updating Lucy’s story and making all of those pledges possible. It is very likely Lucy/Foster will need more financial support. Here’s hoping Hal can be the foster… I’ll probably end up asking for visitation rights hahaha…

Jean R left a comment on the earlier thread:

Lucy was pulled from the shelter by Much Love Rescue who are immediately taking her to a hospital for her much needed surgery for the gash on her back. On Friday, they’ll take her to an oncologist to get the sores and tumors checked for cancer.

We have a potential foster [ed: Hal, from the Balloon Juice community!], who visited Lucy yesterday and spent 30 minutes with her, stroked her chest and got along immediately (which is amazing, due to her medical condition and isolation these past 13 days.) He is also networking to see if there are permanent adoptive homes.

NONE of this would have been possible without the efforts of Patti Nakano who kept coordinating this difficult issue, and of course Jay and Nick who got Lucy out of the flood control channel.

Also much thanks to “L A PhoDOGrapher” Seiko M. who contacted rescued groups and got Much Love Rescue involved, and the incomparable Eldad Hagar of Hope For Paws – Animal Rescue. who is so generously funding Lucy’s surgery and after care.

Thank you to all of you here as well. I will try and update as to where funds to help for Lucy’s care can be sent.

Poor girl’s got a long road ahead of her, but she’s in a far better position than she was this time last week. Thanks to everyone who responded, and as soon as I hear anything, I’ll put up another post. With a little luck, there will even be a direct address for donations, and I won’t even be involved to my usual minimal degree of forwarding emails!

    Well, yes, of course – known only to those in the clique.

    Yaaayyyy! Depending on what part of Mar Vista she originally came from, it’s possible that she was abandoned because her original owners couldn’t afford medical treatment for her.

    (I used to live at National and Barrington at the north end of Mar Vista. The park about a half mile from my apartment was where Snoop Dogg’s bodyguard shot and killed a guy in 1993. It’s gentrified since then, though.)

    This is hopeful news! Thank goodness Lucy is getting urgent medical attention.

    Hal, I don’t know you, but you rock. Krissy, you rock too!

    Lucy dog seems like a trooper. My small kids and I saw her racing frantically in the flood channel, and heard her sad howls at night. Very upsetting for all who witnessed.

    Heartbreaking to imagine what this poor dog was experiencing. Glad to know that she is no longer alone in her journey.

    Don’t let an idiotic asshole stop you from be involved in this process.

    Yay! I love happy endings! Keep these posts coming, Anne Laurie! And I hope you will re-post about the two cats that need a new home – it was so unfortunate that the comments got jacked like that.

    I’m so happy Lucy is getting medical care. I’ve been thinking about her since the first post. I’m still in for helping with specific expenses and am going to send Much Love Rescue a check today.

    That’s what my Gaby’s former owners did, but at least they had the decency to abandon her at a vet’s office.
