Justice for Reggie

Off to the vet this morning with Reggie.  Her last blood work results showed some abnormalities and it needs to be rechecked now that she's finished a long course of antibiotics.  Also on the list are x-rays to see if there are any changes in her heart and lungs since June. As you know, she's doing well.  I find her to be endearing and it's not just because of her attentiveness to Todd.  I think it's just in how she looks at you; her big, brown soulful eyes draw me in, she is gentle with great character and heart.  A reminder of why I love senior Goldens.

Among the paperwork I received with Reggie are all papers related to the neglect charges that were filed against the owner and their name.  Thanks to all court cases in Virginia being online I was able to find the case and its result.  It appears that the previous owner spent 15 days in jail, paid all fees relating to the case, (which hopefully included Reggie's surgery), a fine, and they are not allowed to own a pet for two years--I personally don't think they should ever be allowed to own one, but that's just my opinion. But I do feel like an amount of justice was served in Reggie's case, and I hope 'they' are feeling regret over how she was neglected, and maybe, just maybe, they realize the treasure they've lost.    

Today our beautiful and cooler weather continues ahead of what will be another heatwave predicted for next week.  On the list today is the hopes and goal of catching up on your blogs--I so appreciate your stopping by and keeping up with us, I really enjoy reading your comments and hope you enjoy your weekend!!
