I think some folks just like to stir the pot and watch other people react. Maybe they're bored?

Well, I was just waiting to see how long it would take before someone started a pile of crap. I did not have to wait long. You know, it really does not matter if it was a dog or donkey that made noise or not.. breaking the law is breaking the law. If they poisoned one of her animals, then it is animal cruelty plain and simple. I started the other day to post, jokingly, that maybe one of the people from a previous thread who posted about animals mysteriously dissappearing had moved next door, but I didn't and you wannna know why? Because I felt that it would open a whole can of worms for nastiness..... yet again. Geez, what is wrong with some of you people? Pyrnad, I really hope that this all works out for you.

Oh ouch! We've got a lot for sale next to us at roughly twice what it is actually worth. Every time an agent drags some poor unsuspecting sod up here to look at it we.. er.. engage in skeet shooting or rattle grain pans. <I believe I told everyone how the "significant issue" with the property is "the neighbors!">

But we can't run over there, grab the nice young couple and say "this lot isn't worth half of what they're asking for it... run... run away!" And if you're from somewhere like Boston or New York where a 1 acre lot costs the moon, let alone a nice secluded one on a dead end road protected on all sides by conservation land... it must look like the bargain of the century.

Except there's not water and probably not a place to site a septic system. Details details.

Sorry to hear they've stepped so far over the line Pyrnad, but really glad to hear it is going to resolve soon... and favorably. Just, er, don't recommend they look at property over my way, ok?

Been thinking about you too. Hope all stays safe and good. Sorry to hear you lost a friend. Just cannot imagine what makes some people tick. So sad.

MC, one possible problem with your strategy is that you might attract a "Bad Neighbor" with your antics. They might look at what your doing and say, "dang, that's our type of people. If they do that, surely they won't mind our weekend biker bashes, and Billy Bob's sideline meth trade."

Having visited pyrnad's farm on the day the donkey's owner picked him up(end of July?) I can attest that his braying is no longer an issue....not that it ever was its quite an obvious "FARM". I for one enjoyed his braying...
As far as the dogs were concerned she has an amazing setup for them. They are SUPER friendly and love attn. When I went in the chorus erupted but I petted each and every one of the dogs and the quickly settled.
She loaned me a goat in milk which my buck will breed and GAVE me 5 chickens...among many other past gifts including a sucker calf....
She also arranged a few years back for one of her Great Pyrs to be given as a therapy dog to a little girl with cancer down south....I read the article in a reputable magazine....She's done rescue work for mistreated animals.
So the point is any of you "nice" critical folks should surely re-think your position when you try to make pyrnad out to be the bad guy here.

She gave you lots of stuff, and you like her, i understand. At first i just thought she handling the situation wrong, and being inconsiderate, but as the situation progresses, my opinion lowers.

OMG she gave away a dog ? Well she did rescue them (was the chair of a rescue).

Couse not everone is so happy she rescued their animals into her breeding stock.

Then again some of the animals she rescued from ms murphy had to be rescued again, from the rescuers (not pyrnad).

Do you know for certain that she used any of the rescued animals for breeding stock?

I mean sick animals often take alot of money to rehabilitate to a breeding "condition" and surely from a farming stand point it would be cheaper to use "healthy" stock purchased w/o the need for extra grocery $$ to rehabilitate Not to mention if they are carrying disease they need to be isolated or destroyed.

I'm not sure that the dog she gave was a "rescue".. I think that it was a "retired" breeder. But perhaps you could find a "nice" way to ask her instead of making negative insinuations?

And just out of curiosity tsdave....if someone offered you a couple of piglets that were not being fed but rescueable due to the owners ongoing illness...would you take them and fatten them and eat them or breed them possibly? I know I would...I was taught not to waste...and to make the most of a God-given oppurtunity.

I feel that since mpillow is the only one who has met Pyrnad and seen the whole set up and had personal experience with her she has the best take on the whole thing. Unless the critical ones want to do the same thing, cut it out. That is my 2 cents. I sure wish she were somewhere near where I am. I lost my very favorite buck...he died in my arms. He was also my only buck so I now have no buck to breed to my does. I certainly can't go buy another right now so I am stuck. It would be so nice to have someone near that was willing to help and she sounds like that type of person. Further, even if she was the wicked witch of the west, it still is not right to poison someone's animal, there is no defending that. Pynad, please keep us posted. I hate to say it, but it sounds like these people are digging their own hole.

mpillow, you probably know more about it than me, i only know what ive read.

BUT you look at what she does with the positive light of liking her, and i look at it with scrutiny of disliking things shes doing.

I only know what i suspect is likely. You can judge for yourself.

Don't encourage him, mpillow, he loves the chance to trot out his "stalker" routine. You know, the one where he says THIS IS MY LAST POST ON THE SUBJECT (except for
this,this,this,this,this,this,this,this,this,this, this,this,this,this,this,this,this,this,this,this, this,this,this,this,this,this,this,and this).

*laugh* Yes, we had thought of attracting "undesireable elements." You know... people like us (!), but the price they're asking for the property and the immensely outsized police force for the population (not uncommon in tourist areas) would probably discourage the meth lab.

Since I want a Harley in the worst way attracting a neighbor who actually has one seems like a good plan. But they'd wreck it getting it up and down this rutty dirt road... sigh....

JUST TO CLARIFY. I DID NOT PUT ANY OF MS. MURPHY'S ANIMALS INTO MY BREEDING STOCK
THE DOG I DONATED TO THE CHILD WITH LEUKEMIA WAS BRED BY ME.
I HAVE NEVER PUT A RESCUED ANIMAL INTO MY BREEDING STOCK.

Pyrnad - thanks for the update

I was about to PM you and ask how things were going. But I figured I would wait another week or so. It is good to hear that justice is prevailing. Hope all goes well with the poisoned animal issue, and I am sorry for your loss. (((Hugs to you and yours)))

It is a shame that this thread has attracted the same people who previously distorted, bad mouthed and arm chair lawyered your previous threads. It is amazing that they were never taught to say nothing if they couldn't say anything nice. And the greatest shame is that they have nothing other to do with their lives but to stalk you and haunt your every move, off and on the board.

My heart goes out to you. You should not have to go thru this whole ordeal in the first place. Let alone come here for the ability to to vent. Only to have everything you say regurgitated and distorted and thrown into your face. Keep hanging in there and doing the right thing, you have far more of us cheering for you, and glad to get the updates. Prayers, hugs and good thoughts are heading your way.

Anne
