                <description><![CDATA[   Some of you may remember how I used to write about our dogs Milo and Otis in my troll-tales. Otis passed over the rainbow bridge a couple of weeks before Christmas, but he fought it all the way. I can still see his little cow-puppy body zooming around the room sometimes, his little black tail with the white tip wagging to beat the band. He had a little check mark in the front center of his head that stretched to the upper part of his head, a t-bone black steak pattern on his side, and a little heart shape on his right flank. He was a very funny little dog with a great sense of humor, and sharp as a tack. He used to dance on his hind legs for special treats, loved clam chowder on the very rare occasions they got it. Milo still misses him as well, as well does his big-little brother Bowser, who will be 2 this year. Otis had been having seizures for awhile now, and I had been paying for his medicine, phenobarbital. Sometimes I swear I can hear the tinkle of his collar as he passes thru. Having to take him to his Vets, and hope they could help him, and having to leave him overnight was the hardest thing I had to do. I got a call the next day saying he had passed away. I had taken him in his huge kennel, with one of my bathrobes that I often wore, so he wouldn't feel as scared, but I still know he was. I still ache for my little man. He was the greatest little dog that ever lived, and he gave us 4 and a half great years! Good bye sweet Otis, we'll never forget you or stop loving you! Your paw prints will be forever in our hearts!                ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ONCE AGAIN THE GOP PROVES THAT THE GOVERNMENT OWNS YOUR CHILDREN:My daughter and her husband are trying to get their daughter back from his mother, who is using every dirty trick in the book to keep and raise her for her own. We have two young newlyweds, trying to make a start in life, after being encouraged by her and the dhs office Not to be together. They getsick without each other. I know, I have witnessed it, and taken my daughter to the hospital several times. They took the child away on two different accusations that two different doctors confirmed were untrue, and are now basing it on the fact they have no place of their own, or jobs, when we are able to provide a safe and stable home environment for them until they do get on their feet, as well as transportation to and from their appointments. They initially tried to take her son , who lives in Wisconsin with his father . Things in the reported statement were taken out of context by the caseworker, a registered Republican, who has been revealed in other court statements and dates as lying and doctoring the reports in order to make her case, and lying to her supervisor, who hasnt gotten the whole story. Now they want to make my daughter and her husband undergo mental evaluations to make sure they are capable of raising the baby, are making them take 180 mile trips just so they can see her once a week for an hour. They didnt find out until last week that she had to have surgery due to health problems, but managed to find a way down and back to Iowa City. Dhs has been telling their lawyers that they have been keeping them informed, when they havent been, and its only because they have been constantly calling the caseworker that they have found anything out at all.Meanwhile, they discovered that the Paternal grandmother has been sleeping through the sleep apnea monitor that the baby wears, missed the check-in time for the scheduled surgery by two hours, and its only because my son-in-law kept texting them that she made it there at all. This coming from a woman that admitted to her son that as soon as the court session was over, she intended to go back to drugs, and intends to remarry her ex-husband, who at last known, she divorced because he did cocaine without her. At least thats what was told to us. She has no permanent residence, is always mooching off of friends and relatives for a place to stay, and yet the dhs thinks shed be a better custodian?My daughter, her husband, and myself have been following the guidelines, we are even taking parenting courses together as a family, so we all know how to deal with things better. I am even working on becoming a foster parent, am a certified in home health provider, and they want the other grandmother to have custody? Whats wrong with this picture? Updates will follow as situation progresses.]]></description>
