Save a rescue dog!

I'm tired of reading FB on how a new rescue got loose. I wrote this for B.A.A.C. it applies to all rescues feel free to share it.
Congratulations you have adopted a rescue dog! You’re now in the parking lot waiting for the transport to drop off the new family member or you’re leaving the pound.
Here are some do’s and don’ts if you are a first time rescue parent and a good refresher if it’s been awhile.
You have fallen in love with a picture or dog you met for a few minutes you know nothing about this dog and this dog knows nothing about you. All this dog knows is every time he turns around he has been put in a vehicle and dumped in some new place he is skittish and scared and will bolt at the first opportunity. If you are at the transport they will put a slip lead on the dog. DO NOT REMOVE THIS until you are safely in your house. If it is to short attach another leash to the hand end of it. If you are at the pound put a choke collar on. When you get home from the transport put a choke collar on before you take the dog out of the house. Those cute non choke collars look nice but most dogs can slip their heads out of them before you can stop them and the chance of you getting the dog back after that is slim. Look at the lost posters all over Facebook that happened just this way. Until your dog is trained and knows you and the area a choke collar is a must.
Whatever name you have in your mind the dog doesn’t know it. They had one name in their first home and possibly many more in shelter and foster care so be patient give them time to learn their name with gentle pets and treats as you say it.
For the past few months and maybe longer every time this poor animal has been put in a vehicle it’s whole life has been changed. It takes them time to get use to you and the fact that this is their new furever home do not put them in a car or take them for a trip for a minimum of a month or longer if possible they are scared they are being taken somewhere to be dumped. I waited at least 2 months with each of mine and they were hesitant to get out of the car the first few trips. Sasha my husky took 8 trips before I didn’t have to help her out of the car. Remember they need to learn to feel secure with you and your family so go slow with them.
Get a good dog training book I recommend Kohler Dog Training it’s old school but it work I’m partial to shepherds and he trained WWII war dogs and Rin Tin Tin. Or just let your dog train you.
Remember love, gentleness and patience are your main tools. They don’t think or behave the way humans do and they are getting use to you as you get use to them.
There are more things such as introducing them to the other pets and food but the most important is keeping them from running away and making them feel loved.

Talking Heads

The term “Talking Heads” should refer to elected public servants (politicians) as well as TV reporters, since neither does anything more than spout out what special interest groups have paid for them to say.

Your money where your mouth is

People talk about “come and take” “Molon Labe” well do you mean it?

Time to put our money where our mouths are. I read blurbs and Facebook posts and rants all the time about how we stand for Freedom, The 2nd Amendment and so on and so on. It's all good and gets heart racing and you feel like you're doing something. Well how about actually doing something that will hit the socialist liberals where it hurts them the most in their wallets! The NY governor says he hates guns and conservatives. That's real simple go to VT or another conservative 2a friendly state to ski, hunt, fish and vacation stay out of the Big Apple don't pay him to destroy America when the tourist money dries up they can ask him why. Stop going to movies why do you keep supporting the liberal actors, actresses and producers that support obama and all those like him! Same goes for musicians and TV stop watching NBC CNN and the rest of the socialist shows. Watch their advertising dollars dwindle. Same with local papers the Hartford Courant should be called Pravda and the New Haven Register is not far behind.

This is a simple but effective way to show you support America, The Constitution and Freedom. Do away with some creature comforts stop paying liberals to destroy America by supporting them. Instead of going to the the movies, or watching TV do something with family and friends. Go do some actual activity support a local business but first make sure they support us Taxpaying Americans and if they are a small business odds on they do.

Malloy's Major Mistake!

 In an attempt to buy the elections he has provided the funds for the Pro America, Pro Gun, Pro Constitution voters to support their choices. To put their money where their mouths are and donate this $55 dollars which is their money to start with to the CT Pro America and Freedom Candidate of their choice or to the CCDL or the Vote No for Dan Malloy org. Just keep the money in CT and defeat the socialists. Some come on are you people gonna put your money where your mouths are or are you all talk. November will tell!!!

Candidate Qualifications

I believe it is time we start taking a hard look at the qualifications of our elected public servants well prior to election day. One major detrimental qualification would be a job history of only elected governmental service. That would show me this person was never held accountable for anything. They never had to practice fiscal responsibility. Budgets meant nothing just increase taxes. Make a mistake don't worry the PR firm will explain to the public how it wasn't your mistake. Never worry about retirement you don't have to retire and if you lose an election you become a lobbyist for more money. If you make your way to the federal level you get the same pay including raises and health benefits for the rest of your life whether you serve one term or multiple. What reason do these people have to be fiscally responsible? What reason do they have to protect American Taxpayers? They are set for life and there is nothing we their employers can do about it right now. What we can do in the future is vote in people who have spent years in private sector as managers where they learned and practiced fiscal responsibility. People who understand budgets and follow them. People who think as we do that term limits are needed for every elected position. That you should not get a retirement package from an elected position. People who will put the wallets and bank accounts of the American Taxpayer over and above illegals, foreign aid, business bailouts. People who will keep their oath to follow and defend the U.S. Constitution.

Out of control government spending

A pension of $276,364.00 per year for a civil servant! Do we need more proof that government spending or mismanagement of taxpayers dollars is completely out of control? One problem I see that contributes to this is our elected/appointed public servants have no accountability. They enter into agreements and contracts behind closed doors with public unions, with state contractors. This needs to stop. All negotiations that spend taxpayers money must be opened to public and the media no exceptions. All binding arbitrations, any action that spends taxpayers money must be open to be viewed by the public. Our public/civil servants treat all tax dollars as “Government” money when it is not. The government has no money of it's own all it is has are tax dollars taken from working people and businesses. Our civil and public servants use euphemisms such as grant, rainy day fund to obscure the fact all monies spent by the government are taxpayers dollars. All elected public servants who continue to treat the taxpayer's paychecks as an unlimited ATM need to be held accountable and be voted out of office and replaced by people who will institute true fiscal responsibility not just mouth the words.

Phil Robertson

Let's get one thing straight, Phil Robertson's First Amendment Right to Free Speech was not violated. No government agency federal or state arrested him, stopped his words from being published or broadcast or forbid him from speaking them.

What happened is he is feeling the consequences of what he said. Does he deserve these consequences? According to today's media or press yes he does. So now the question is does the media accurately represent the views and feelings of the majority of the American public? Or do they represent a minority that is inflated to claim to represent the majority? If they they only represent an inflated minority why do they hold such control? Is it because they are the only game in town? Or is something more subtle? Is it that the American public has been trained/brainwashed over decades of TV watching into thinking that celebrities (TV news talking heads) actually are intelligent and have the best interest of America at heart? I think that the leftist media scares companies by claiming that the company will lose money by backing or promoting people who go against what they want. The way to prove this true is for the company to actually lose money following the media's advice. Will that happen? Are Americans so much like the sheep they are being compared to more and more that because of TV they can no longer think for themselves? It is time to start standing up for America with you pocket book and wallet. Stop watching leftist media, stop watching TV shows and movies that star leftist actors and actress. Stop shopping in stores that support leftist beliefs. Stop buying insurance from leftist owned companies. Start showing the middle of the road businesses that the leftist media is wrong, that we will support with our pocketbooks and wallets those businesses that stand for and support The United States of America it's Constitution and the Rights and Freedoms it guarantees and that we will not support those that are against America. We need a list of all the businesses that stand with and against Freedom and we need to get that to our friends and supporters.
