Alex, I Shall Love You Eternally, My Best Friend Ever! Options

[AngelCareOne]

I'm not really certain if I'm in the correct forum but given all the background and facts, it appears most certain that Alex was murdered. Was he sold? That's believable. Was he given away? Perhaps. Was he murdered? Well, I got to my Buddy dog and Styx kitty just in the nick of time before they were euthanized as strays. It is very believable that Alex was murdered. What is not believable are the stories that I was fed as to what happened to Alex because, scientifically speaking, it defies the laws of Physics ergo is impossible to have occurred on this plane of existence. Ummm ... Please forgive my tears. I will tell all about what happened but first, I want so much to speak with my Alex.

Alex - May 1, 1993 to October 16, 2007 Having had a life expectancy of around 40 years.

Dearest Alex, "Once I had the rarest rose that ever deigned to bloom. Cruel winter chilled the bud and stole my flower too soon." You're that rarest rose, my most cherished Alex. My heart beats for you and bleeds for you so still falls the rain.

I promised you that I'd always be there to protect you and keep you from the cold. I failed. Please forgive me! But, now "the floor of Heaven is laid with stars as bright as gold; They shine for you and burn for all to see!" I know you can't come back and set my spirit free but your spirit is free and that's what matters most. I Love You!

Alex, I truly thought I'd see you again. But "the plans they made put an end to you." I should have known. There were so many 'red flags' and I didn't see them. If only I had known then what I know now. I would have never let them take you into their "care" and none of this would have ever happened. I'm so sorry!

"Won't you look down upon me, Jesus? Will you help me make a stand and just get me through another day? Yes, my body's aching and my time is at hand so I don't know how I'll make it any other way. You know I've seen fire and rain and sunny days that I thought would never end." Even though I'm alone, I've never in my life felt lonely until I lost you, Sweet Alex. I miss you so much!

You're the very best friend I've ever had both human and animal. I can still remember our simple conversations, your funny, mischievous little pranks, your laughter and your tears. I remember the last words you said to me over and over again as you kissed me loudly, "I Love You! I Love You! I Love You!" Alex, I Love You, Too!

I just always thought I'd see you at least one more time again ...

http://youtube.com/watch?v=-T35WXFOmwI

Dearest Alex,

"Sorry I never told you all I wanted to say. And now it's too late to hold you 'cause you've flown away. So far away ...

Never had I imagined living without your smile. Feeling and knowing you hear me. It keeps me alive. Alive!

And I know you're shining down on me from Heaven like so many friends we've lost along the way.
And I know eventually we'll be together. One Sweet Day!

Picture a little scene from Heaven.

Darling I never showed you. Assumed you'd always be there. I took your presence for granted.
But I always cared! And I miss the love we shared!

Although the sun will never shine the same again. I'll always look to a brighter day.
Lord I know when I lay me down to sleep. You will always listen as I pray!

And I know you're shining down on me from Heaven like so many friends we've lost along the way.
And I know eventually we'll be together. One Sweet Day!

Picture a little scene from Heaven.

Sorry I never told you ... All I wanted to say ... "

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wxauhK-sn2s

And Alex, "Who can say for certain maybe you're still here. I feel you all around me. Your memory's so clear.
Deep in the stillness, I can hear you speak. You're still an inspiration. Can it be ...

That you are my Forever Love. And you are watching over me from up above.

Fly me up to where you are beyond the distant star.
I wish upon tonight to see you smile! If only for a while to know you're there.
A breath away's not far to where you are.

Are you gently sleeping here inside my dream? And isn't faith believing all power can't be seen.
As my heart holds you just one beat away, I cherish all you gave me everyday!

'Cause you are my Forever Love watching me from up above.
And I believe that Angels breathe and that Love will live on and never leave!

Fly me up to where you are, beyond the distant star!
I wish upon tonight to see you smile if only for a while to know you're there.
A breath away's not far to where you are.

I know you're there! A breath away's not far to where you are."

Most Precious Alex, Thank You for the very best 15 years, 5 months and 11 days of my life. Mere words cannot even begin to express how sorry I am that your life was cut so short. You were so very dear, sweet, loving, playful, intelligent, compassionate, trusting with such a kind and gentle mind and soul. You did not deserve what happened to you.

All three of them are now being held accountable for what they did, Alex. I promised you'd have earthly justice as long as there was one breath left in my body. That's what friends are for. Best friends! As for Heavenly Justice? Well, that's not my call but I'm sure that God will take care of it.

I'll meet you at the Rainbow Bridge, Alex! Until then, play, sing, dance, talk up a storm and have lots of fun. Party on and Be Happy! Okay? I Love You My Best Friend, Constant Companion and Feather Child!

All My Love Eternally,
Your Mama Angel xoxoxox

In case someone is reading this and wondering what happened to Alex, he was ... Am I allowed to say "murdered" on this board? Alex was most likely murdered. He may have been sold, given away or taken for a ride and tossed outside the car window. Odds are that he was murdered.

I live in a very small townhouse community consisting of 3 buildings with six two story houses in each building. Even though we share a common wall, these are houses and I do own my home.

All three buildings of six houses each were tented for fumigation on 10/12/2007 so the occupants and/or residents needed to be gone until October 14, 2007, when we were allowed safely back in our homes.

The HOA (home owner association) president of over one year found a hotel where I could stay. That was the first 'red flag' that I missed. I'll explain if you care to hear but him finding me that room was a big 'caution' and I didn't see it.

The "new" management company owner who I did not know and had never met phoned me to tell me she had found a lady who would take care of my doggie, kitty and parrot for the 3 days that I'd needed to be gone. That the charge would be $100 and it must be cash and not a check. The management lady refused to give me the caregiver's last name and address so I tried to get it from the caregiver when she came to pick up my pets and the management lady drove me herself to my hotel room on Oct. 11, 2007.

It was pretty chaotic and both the caregiver lady and the management lady kept changing the subject whenever I tried to get a last name and address but I did get the caregiver's phone number. It turned out to be a cell number. Here we have 2 more 'red flags.' One is that they both refused to give me the caregiver's last name and address and another 'red flag' is that the phone number turned out to be a cell phone number. I suppose yet another 'red flag' would be that the $100 had to be in cash, not a check and the management lady told me I needed to give it to her while she checked me into the motel room using her own driver's license and signature.

Why did she insist I give the cash to her and not the caregiver lady and why right then and not after I got my pets back? I sent everything with each pet that they would possibly need or desire except for the water. I'm serious. Everything.

Why didn't I scream right then, "Stop! Wait, a minute. You say you know the caregiver and vouch for her but I don't know either of you and take me to my fur and feather kids right now!" But, I didn't do that. Alex, I'm so sorry! I did call the caregiver lady twice a day from my hotel to see how my doggie, kitty and parrot were doing. I was mostly worried about Alex parrot so the hotel owner was kind and let me use his cell phone twice a day during my stay since the rooms didn't have phones, there was no phone within walking distance and I've never even owned a cell phone.

When it was time to come back home on October 14, 2007, I was to meet the caregiver lady as she promised to deliver my pets back to me. It was around 6:45 PM and still light outside when I got back home only to find that the management lady and caregiver lady were inside my home and the place looked like it had been bulldozed. No, not a mess. It was cleaned up and clean out. Oh My Gosh.

I didn't want to make any waves since my pets weren't there and caregiver lady continued to haul stuff out of my home while the management lady told me that caregiver had cleaned my house for me and I "should" give her more money. By the way, the caregiver lady does house cleaning for a living.

When I asked where my fur and feather kids were, the caregiver lady said she needed help transporting them, that she'd take care of them and bring them to me the next day.

On October 15th, the caregiver lady gave me the same story that she needed help transporting my pets and promised to bring them to me the next day. I did express great concern. This was a very sweet, nice lady with a really cheerful lilting voice and disposition but of course I was concerned.

When I called her the next day (Oct. 16, 2007), I finally reached her in the early afternoon and she gave me the same story. Okay! At that point, I was way more than concerned since no one would even tell me where she lives so I can make arrangements to get my pets and bring them home.

A little over an hour after my call to the caregiver lady on Oct. 16, 2007, I got a mystery call out of nowhere. A female asked me if my name was .... Yes, that's me. Then she asked me, "Do you have a dog named Buddy and a cat named Styx?" I began shouting. "OMG! Are they all right?! What happened to them?! Where are they?! Who are you?!" The lady was very dear and said they were both fine and were right there. Her name was Dana and she was calling from the county pound located many miles away and not the one close by.

Note: I'm not saying any of the three culprit's names even though they have been charged and it's a matter of public record set for trial. I just don't know if giving those names is allowed here. Back to where I was ...

Dana further explained that the caregiver lady was positively identified as the person who brought in my pets, said they were strays, filled out papers okaying them to be euthanized (killed), they had copies of photo ID and so forth. Fortunately for me and my fur kids, the caregiver lady was too ignorant and didn't think to remove my dog's and cat's current tags which led them both right back to me. Dana is a real Angel. Bless her!

I did not know that Alex parrot was not at the pound until I got there myself the next day to bring them all home. One of the responding police officers had assured me the evening before that Alex was also there. I fell apart and became hysterical in public at the pound since Alex had never even been there. So unlike me but I sure did scream like a banshee. I even went into physical shock within a short time after that (within a week or so?) and had to be treated.

The three culprits tried to feed me different stories as to where Alex was. They couldn't even get their stories straight. That was it. Enough! I had to make more than one police report since some of what they did was felonious and other things misdemeanors and civil matters.

Note! I left out a TON of things trying to be as brief as possible and I sure hope what I've said so far will help others out there to never, never make the horrible mistakes I did.

I have one piece of tangible proof that he did NOT fly away as the story told by the caregiver lady when compared to the story told by the management company owner lady leaves a two day "backwards" wrinkle in the time/space continuum. How can Alex be fine, well and living elsewhere TWO DAYS AFTER he flew away and was lost? Like I said, it defies the law of Physics.

Also, birds will escape through open doors and windows of houses and vehicles. Most birds will. NOT Alex. No way, no how. And I do have witnesses. Alex was terrified of the outside and to go anywhere near the front door or the back sliding glass door even when they were closed.

If you happened to have Alex on your shoulder and even walked near the front door or the back sliding glass door, he would squawk in terror! "Home! Home!" That's what he called his cage. He would fly "home" faster than imaginable, book it inside his cage and then into his nest box. There he would stay until comforted, soothed and his fears allayed. It had been that way from the very beginning.

No. There is absolutely no way possible that Alex would "intentionally escape" through an open door or window of a house or vehicle taking into consideration his tremendous fear of being anywhere near a door or window even if closed. I know. Others have witnessed the same. So ...

That's all for now. Thank you for listening.

Always,
Angel xoxoxox

This has got to be the saddest thread I have ever read since coming here. I can only say that people who call themselves human beings who do these kinds of horrible and cruel acts have to one day account for all they have done wrong to a much Higher authority than any they will find here on earth. There is no plausible explanantion for anybody to give that could even begin to help me understand why these things could ever happen.

You said this happened last October. Is trial nearing? Are Styx and Buddy doing well? Maybe the lady decided to steal Alex for herself or sold him. I would think a parrot so smart as Alex is in somebody's possession.

Please tell us more about Alex when you can. There is always a hope that he is alive and well elsewhere. It has to be very frightening and painful for you not to know his whereabouts. But God knows where Alex is. Ask Him to keep his watchful eyes over Alex and keep him safe from all harm. Sometimes miracles do happen.

Keep coming and sharing with all of us. It is by sharing and caring about each other through our exchanges with each other that we find peace and acceptance again.

May you be blessed with the comfort of His touch as you struggle to find a way to rest your mind and heavy heart.

Hugs of comfort from my heart to yours,
Beth

[AngelCareOne]

{{{{{Beth}}}}} Many Bright Blessings to You! I'll try to answer all your questions as best I can.

Buddy dog got over his stay in the pound fairly quickly (about a couple days) and he's fine. Thank you. Poor Styx kitty (named after the band and not the evil river) took a lot longer to get over his abduction. He's okay now though. Thank goodness. Poor Styx kitty mourned for Alex for weeks to about ... I'd say just short of 3 months or so ... When Alex didn't return. They were great friends. Buddy appeared unaffected and I am grateful for that.

As far as "those three" ... I still cannot bring myself to call them "people." They are not human. Humans are not capable of such unconscionable acts against poor, defenseless, trusting, loving ... and so forth ... Animals. Please pardon my skipping as I talk. It's so hard to talk. Thank you.

As far as the lady stealing Alex for herself, she did in fact ask me several times to give her my Alex because she and her husband loved him so much. At first I was nice and I was still nice when I told her she was out of her mind. THAT is my COMPANION animal as well as my heart, my soul, MY LIFE! No, I am not exaggerating.

Objective experts who did not know me nor Alex agreed that he had the intelligence, reasoning ability (cognizance), emotions, personality, behavior, speech and so on as that of a "Normal Four to Five Year Old Human Child." If you had held simple conversations with him, you would know, too. He really blew people away. So, you see, Alex had many human attributes and only used ONE phrase as a "play phrase." The rest of what he spoke, he knew what it meant and that's what he wished to communicate. Amazing and precious! OMG!!! I miss him so much!!! Sorry.

I had hoped and prayed and hoped and prayed some more that Alex was/is still alive due to "her" wanting him so badly ... Then it all went BAD once I found out about her taking my pets to the pound which I PAID HER CASH to take care of for the three days I'd be gone. The three "monsters" (as I refer to them) had a pow wow and "made plans."

I finally did get an attorney in March of this year as I don't have the funds but ... He is expert in HOA law as well as criminal law and oh so dear! A little less than 30 days ago, all three were served with "Remedy for Civil Theft" charges and they have absolutely no idea what other charges are still pending to be served upon them. I did find out that they are trying to get the Home Owner's insurance to pay for "their mistakes" with me ... as they put it. They wish to settle out of court? Sure! Just give me Alex and I'll "walk away" from all the rest of their felonies, misdemeanors and civil matters. Just give me back my Alex.

I have photographs, tape recordings, written records and more as tangible proof that the HOA (home association) president is oh so guilty of several crimes against me pertaining to the US Disabilities Act, US Privacy Act, he has misused HOA funds for his own benefit, he's broken several more HOA laws, the list goes on like the Every Ready Bunny.

I HATE to do this! I am a "walk away" person. Whenever anyone says or does anything gosh awful hideous to me, I prefer to choose the path of least resistance, put all their crimes behind me, stay in the present and be Happy! But NOT NOT NOT when it comes to children and animals. I looked into the sky and swore to Alex that he would have earthly Justice even if it took me the rest of my life and as long as I have a breath left in my body.

Beth, Alex was my world ... I kid you not. My world! Please excuse CAPS as I don't know how to do bold in here.

I'd like to share just a bit of his vocalizations with you if you don't mind? And later, if you care to hear, I'll tell you exactly how he knew the meaning of what was being said to him and what he was saying ... Within his vocabulary, of course.

Okay, since I'm crying so hard, let me copy and paste what I put in some ads when I was searching for him. It made me feel less helpless and like I was accomplishing something. Well, here's some of Alex as I posted a plea on CraigList ...

"Quaker Parrot. Alex. Male. Green with blue flight feathers. About the size of a large ##atiel, but has much stockier build. Feathers scruffy at shoulders. Talks clearly, large vocabulary, kisses, 15 and a half years old. Very friendly. Loves to have head and face petted and scratched. And so much more. He is my Best Friend, my Feather Child, Constant Companion and My Life!!! Please See Photos At The Bottom ...

REWARD!!! Unfortunately, I am disabled and cash poor. Alex is my Companion Animal as well as my best friend, constant companion, my feather child and my life! But, I do have a 14 K gold ring with diamonds and emeralds. Anyone who finds Alex can have it! It was a gift to me many years ago and has no sentimental value. I was there when it was purchased and many years ago it sold for over $400. I'm certain it's worth much more now. Also, I'll look around to see what else I have that is of monitory value but not sentimental and ... Whoever finds him can have it all! You have my word on that.

Kissing noise or sound then "I Love you!" and repeats it several times. "What are ya doin?" "What about that?" Even though most all his speech is very clear, he pronounced his name like this: "Owek." And "Oooowwwweeekkkkk" "Common. Common Owek." "Hello." "Hi!" "Bye Bye." "Good bye." "Stop it." "Shut up." (the shut up is a very, very funny story and no, I never told him to shut up and he did not learn it from me. lol) "Don't do it." "Cocoa!" And "Common Cocoa!" "Wake up!" Before and after "Wake Up!" He would click his beak on the top of his nest box trying to imitate clapping sound. Then there's ... "Mama." "I'm sorry, I'm so sorry. I'm sorry, I'm so sorry!" ... "What!" "Okay!" or "Ok." "Want some." "Go Home" and different variations of "I'm going home" which was his cage and nest box.

His favorite play phrase appeared to be: "Be a duck. Be a duck. Quack, Quack, Quack, Quack, Quack." He did not quack like a duck but did say the word "Quack" at those times. Then there's "Ut oh!" He usually would make his crying sounds after the Ut Oh but not always.

Kissing sounds, Crying sounds, Laughing, Coughing, small burp/beltch sound if he heard you burp/beltch. ***Important: "Uhn Huhnnn!" (meaning yes) "Un Unnnnn!" (meaning no) He Loved to go back and forth with me making the yes sound and him making that no sound repeatedly And the short and dear "Uhn Hun!" (meaning yes)

In lower, sexy type voice, "Hello baby." And same with, "He's my baby, baby, baby" "I'm a baby, baby, baby." Or just, "Baby, baby, baby" ... Those all followed the sexy "Hello, Baby."
Unfortunately, and this made me so angry, many years ago my brother thought it would be fun to hear my feather child Alex curse. It only took a few times of repeating at that One occasion and ... Alex picked it up. Yes, I told my brother off big time after Alex started saying, "Son of a Bi**h!" and "F**k You!" I would NOT even mention what I just did but Alex does use those words when he means it so it is a very important way to identify him. So sorry about that.

He does say, "Kenny" sometimes clearly and sometimes it sounds like a drawn out call sounding sort of like this: "Kidddnnnneeeeee! Kidddnnnneeeeee!" There's MUCH MUCH more but I do believe I've touched on the most important. Again many thanks to you! Oh, Alex would occasionally say, "Thank You!"

He has "habits" and "routines" that would also identify him if you wish to know and his favorite song is Lullaby of Broadway. He tries to sing but it sounds like a death moan. Oh dear but true. Poor thing. At least he tried and it was beautiful to me.

Distinguishing Characteristics: Feathers are "scruffy" at the top of both wing 'shoulders?' where his wings meet his body when at his side and not extended.

He did break a leg completely in two when he was about 3 months old or much less. The x-ray looks like a tooth pick broken into two pieces. He healed so well that most people would not notice him standing differently or his "gait" when walking being different. That would need to be pointed out to a lay person. But, any x-rays taken would reveal that past injury and is like a finger print.

Medical Issues: He was perfectly healthy and never sick one day in his life. Some people don't even notice the scruffy feathers at the top of his shoulders that I mentioned but they can very clearly be seen by anyone.

Thank you! Please contact me on: 1-***-***-***x at Graigslist Website"




***Hi, it's Angel talking again here. I'd like very much to share "Alex Memories and Experiences" here so that he will live on in all who read about him and tell others and they tell others ... Oh, you will be amazed and astounded at Alex's brilliance and awesome capabilities.

Thank you so much for letting me talk. It means the world to me. I ... I need Alex and he needs me if he is still alive! Thank you!

Always,
Angel xoxoxox

[myhrtisbrkn]

Angel,

What an outrage! I don't know how some people sleep at night or look at themselves in the mirror. It's comforting to know that human justice is going to take a hand in this, but just as Beth said, there is a higher power. I hope to be there to see it when that judge, brings down the gavil.

I can only imagine how sick at heart you must be. I think, not only would I have lost it in the pound, I would still be losing it. You seem to handling things better than I would be. I can only join my prayers for Alex to yours. Wherever he is may the Angels lend him their wings.

My heart goes out to you,
MY thoughts and prayers are with you,
Dayna

[AngelCareOne]

{{{{{{{Dayna}}}}}}} I put up a very good front because I cannot bear to be "pitied." I did go into physical shock early on (very different from "emotional" shock) for which I was treated. After that, I had two nervous breakdowns and I am a very laid back, rational, logical, nice lady. That ain't me. I suppose they were "nervous breakdowns" as I've never had one in my life.

The first break down lasted approximately four weeks or a couple days less. I had "delusions" ... "Acute psychotic episodes." This is so embarrassing to admit. Oh My Gosh! No, I am not psychotic in any way, shape nor form. I served wonderfully as a nurse and Animal Rehabilitator for over 27 years before I became disabled. Not to brag but I was very good at what I did.

So, when I had those "acute psychotic episodes" it was terrifying. Well, mostly it was very, very frustrating due to the nature of the daily episodes. During both breakdowns which lasted approximately 3 to 4 weeks, all I did was take care of Buddy dog, Styx kitty, lie on the sofa, go to the bathroom and ... I had a tiny bit to eat and drink on occasion. I spoke to NO ONE! I would not answer the phone, the door, no one.

My brother tried to talk to me on the phone once during one of my breakdowns and the only thing that I could say to him was ... "Tony" ... pause ... "Go Away!" I kept repeating that because I couldn't speak any other words. Tony knew then that I was dying as some do die of grief. BUT! From the very first day this nightmare began, I have never, ever for even one moment been suicidal. Gospel truth. I HAD to stay alive and make certain that Alex got justice. Legally, of course.

There's more but I'll stop for now. I would like to share the song, video and photo that I chose to pay Tribute in Loving Memory to Alex. It's from the movie Casper (as in Casper the Friendly Ghost). In that video, Casper is SO MUCH like Alex that it's uncanny. Also, the song is perfect.

God Bless You All Most Abundantly!

Always,
Angel xoxoxox

[myhrtisbrkn]

I'd say in addition to grief, and fear for your baby, and I would venture to add, total loss of trust in humanity, you have suffered post-traumatic stress disorder. People dimismiss that...only if they've never experienced it. And they don't know how easily it can happen to them. But, I have , and I do.


The more I read your post the more suspicious I am that your Alex was kidnapped and sold. I'm sure I don't have to tell you what a high price a bird like that would bring. And it seems to me they went to a great deal of trouble just to kill him. If Alex is out there, I pray he's in tender hands.

More later,
Love Dayna

[AngelCareOne]

Oh! {{{{{{{Dayna}}}}}} I too have PTSD which began when I was six years old. I can completely empathize with you, Dear One! You are in my thoughts and prayers and I do NOT just say that. You are, Dayna.

I hear what you're saying about Alex being sold. All three "monsters" (1 man and 2 women) are very, very greedy and money hungry. Too bad for them that I'm poor and money "don't mean nothin' to me." In other words, I cannot be bought even if it were trillions and trillions of dollars. I swear to you, I speak the truth and all who know me do know this has always been.

So, they are greedy. Alex as a "pet" would be easily worth $5,000.00 due to his capabilities. If used for research as pertains to interrelated species communication, it would depend upon how much the "organization" was willing to pay or how much the US government was willing to provide as a grant. Having done research on that, it would be anywhere between $12,500 and $50,000 but most likely, if the givers were generous, it would be around $25,000. BUT! And please pardon me but I'm gonna kind of shout this out again ... BUT! Not one of those three would consider that, in my opinion. I pray I'm wrong but I do base my opinion on all that I know about them. I don't know "tons" about them but I do know a whole lot.

Therefore, it would surprise me if they sold him but I'm not psychic and, once again, they sure are money hungry. Oh Please, let him have been sold and ... Sorry. Oh heck. Doncha just get so annoyed when people say "sorry" all the time. Gee, I wonder where Alex got that phrase. Yep, from me.

I hope no one minds and I'd like to take the rest of this post to pay Tribute in Loving Memory to Alex. Like I previously stated, this video, song and image ... All are so perfect ...

Please, watch Casper in this video. See his expressions, body language, surprise, joy, sadness, playing hide and go seek, touching hands, waving hello, his curiosity, so much more, right down to kissing me to sleep every night. That *IS* Alex. Well, I'm speechless ...

The only thing that makes any sense is that Alex is alive somewhere. These culprits would not have been able to give you Buddy and Styx back without producing Alex. They were cowards who could not face you and had a selfish and greedy motive.

Don't lose hope that Alex is alive even though you don't know where he is. Eventually the authorities will get to the truth of what happened and his location.

I send you hugs of comfort my friend,

{{{{{{{Beth}}}}} Many tears and most of them in much relief and gratitude to hear what you've told me. Bless You! Please do remember that the caregiver lady, instead of returning Buddy dog and Styx kitty to me, took them to the county pound far, far away (not the one close by), is positively identified as having been the person who took my fur kids there, stated they were "strays" (I do have the paper work), signed the okay to have them both euthanized, killed and did try to put a rush on it ...

Let's call her "Ida." When Ida brought in Buddy and Styx making such claims, my Angel there Dana noted immediately that both were wearing current tags. Well, no. Buddy was wearing his tag on his collar when Ida brought him in and "Ida" handed Styx's tag to Dana. You see, since Styx is an indoor kitty, I do not put a collar on him but always (as with all my other kitties) put their current tags in a special drawer in the kitchen should it ever be necessary to produce it. Sorry to be redundant but once again, Buddy was wearing his collar and current tags and "Ida" produced Styx kitty's current tag separately ...

This raised a major red flag to wonderful Dana at the pound so she "played along" to get 'Ida' to fill out all the papers, produce photo ID and so forth especially since she was actually "Requesting" that both be euthanized (killed) at the first opportunity.

Remember I did pay Ida $100 cash to care for Buddy, Styx and Alex for those three days that I was away. What I am about to say is truly NOT intended to sound like I am speaking in anger. Please know this is true. Here goes. Ida is a very, very ignorant person. I don't know if she's "stupid." That's very different from being ignorant. The other two: Let's call the home association community president "Nico" and the owner of the management company "Julia" since it's so much easier to say a name instead of typing a long drawn out title.

So, Ida has every appearance of being tremendously dear, loving, compassionate with lilting voice always but she is indeed a very ignorant person ... And certainly not well off. On the other hand, Nico and Julia are very educated, smart, wealthy and all three of them are quite money hungry. Both Ida and Julia are "followers" if it will benefit them. Nico, on the other hand, is extremely wealthy, fools many/most people with his bogus charm, he is an, "I want what I want when I want it which is now and I always get what I want because I know how and it matters not who is hurt as long as I prevail."

Okay, so you have some very basic personality traits regarding each of the three parties. What you do not know is ... I'm not sure if I'm allowed to say it in this message board community as I MUST protect the owners of this haven. Let me think of how to word this. Got it. In the movie based on the cartoon Dudley Do-Right (I don't know if you've seen it), the villain Snidely Whiplash comes to town, sees an opportunity to take people's homes from them by making them feel the want or need to leave. Snidely Whiplash buys up the entire town (oh, he makes his wife a real estate agent, too), owns a monopoly even though it really isn't in the best neck of the woods so to speak. He ... you get the picture? It is a very good an-alogy. (*Edited here to make that word printable.)

Snidely Whiplash is the "ring leader." Ida is just the "man with the van." Kind of like: "Don't shoot me, I'm just the messenger." Julia may or may not be "on the take." I do not know and I only state fact as fact and speculation as speculation. Oh, I'm sure you've heard that before but believe me: I am a "bad liar" which means ... I am so very, very bad at lying unless it's for a surprise party or to compliment someone when I really don't care for their outfit type thing.

What I hope I have put across is that Snidely Whiplash does not like me and has not since soon after he arrived here. If you wish reasons, I will give them. Snidely has been harassing me for over a year breaking many laws governing the US Disabilities Act for which he could be incarcerated. I knew this each time and, as always, I "walked away." Others however have not been so fortunate. But THIS TIME IT IS MY FAMILY! Snidely, the "ring leader," made a fatal mistake. Alex. Even since I did get Buddy dog and Styx kitty back, I STILL would have "walked away" since there is a God and "She" is Good! Angels breathe! But my Alex. His mistake. Big mistake. So, this is the 'WHY" that I did NOT "walk away" as I always have in the past. In order to see that Alex receives earthly justice as I looked into the sky and swore to him, I will now level ALL CHARGES.

Again, please pardon the CAPITAL LETTERS. I promise I am not shouting. Hopefully, I'll figure out how to do BOLD print in here. The CAPS are for emphasis only.

Now, you know the kind of "monsters" (I still cannot call them people) with whom we are dealing. Since Snidely Whiplash is "obscenely wealthy" and knows little or nothing about parrots, Alex specifically, and since I am painfully aware of Snidely's personality, it is very easy to see him snapping my Alex's neck without blinking an eye. Truth. Julia is not as wealthy but knowing her personality, it is very easy to see her also killing Alex IF and I repeat IF "given the word." As for Ida, I do not know but do not believe that she would kill Alex.

This is turning into a bit of a novel so I'll stop here for now. Besides, I cannot see my PC monitor at this point. Gee, I wonder why.

Beth, I send you my utmost gratitude and many Blessings! Believe it or not, even having shared all that I have written above, YOU HAVE GIVEN ME HOPE!!! THANK YOU!!! THANK YOU!!! THANK YOU!!!

Always,
Angel xoxoxox

PS. I have been preparing a very, very significant post which I pray will bring comfort to all here. It (the post) is finished now and I'll post it next. PLEASE SEE MY PS. QUESTION AT THE BOTTOM OF MY NEXT POST. I LOVE YOU ALL!

REGARDING: VIRTUAL "LIGHT A CANDLE" AND IT IS FREE TO ALL ON EARTH ...



Hello to all you very kind people and those in so much grief and pain. Please know that I have indeed been sending healing thoughts, Angels and lighting candles. Well, it can be pretty dangerous sometimes lighting so many candles in real life in your home considering that you may be out of that room, have small children or fur or feather kids that could possibly be harmed. Please let me share with you a Website where you can "Light A Candle" online at anytime you wish and for any reason you wish. It's free and you may light as many candles as you desire as well as leave your thoughts, wishes and of course prayers. Here's the link ...

http://www.gratefulness.org/candles/enter.cfm?l=eng

It is a loving and lovely experience. The link above takes you to the main page of the site. There you can choose whatever language is best for you and then continue. PLEASE share this link with all you know and for any reason they may have. If you do fill in your initials and state (optional) when it comes to that part of the journey, there is a "Search" feature at the link I've given above so you may return to your candle (or "group candle") any time you wish to meditate, pray, cry, it's completely up to you.

Again, this is all FREE to light as many candles as you wish and as often as you wish.

NOTE: Each candle you light lasts for 48 hours as it "burns" virtually so you may want to keep tabs.

Do forgive my CAPS again since I don't know how to do BOLD in the message board community. I am about to write in CAPITAL LETTERS for emphasis and promise you that I am NOT shouting ...

PLEASE SPREAD THE WORD ABOUT "LIGHT A CANDLE" ONLINE, THAT IT IS FREE, THAT YOU AND EVERYONE MAY LIGHT AS MANY CANDLES AS OFTEN AS YOU WISH, YOU MAY SEARCH AND FIND YOUR CANDLE TO SIT OR STAND TO MEDITATE, PRAY OR AS YOU DESIRE. FOR YOUR FUR OR FEATHER KID, FOR A LOVED ONE, FOR YOURSELF. IT IS A VERY LOVING AND LOVELY EXPERIENCE. HERE AGAIN IS THE URL LINK TO THE "LIGHT A CANDLE" Website ...

http://www.gratefulness.org/candles/enter.cfm?l=eng

May you all be Blessed Most Abundantly and many Angels Wing to you all for comfort at your great time of sorrow. May one day, and TAKE YOUR TIME TO GRIEVE ... Again, may one day your pain be replaced with only the fondest of memories which, at this time, only serve as hurtful reminders.

I have been reading here and wish so much to talk with several of you. I pray that I can find my voice and do so soon. Until then, you are all indeed in my thoughts and prayers no matter "the deity of your choice" in which you find comfort. May Angels comfort and soothe you in your time of sorrow. May they watch over you and your beloved fur or feather child always to guide and help you through what must be just about the most gosh awful, difficult time in your life. May Loving Angels bring you Peace!

Many Blessings To Each and Every One of You!
Always,
Angel xoxoxox

IMPORTANT PS. Could someone please tell me if it would be considered "spam" or "bad form" to make a separate post and include all the above information for those who could really, really use it right now? Thank you!

Pet Support Resources and Articles would be a great place to post this wonderful site you have brought to my attention. Anything that lends support and healing to another is always welcome.

I do remember that you said Styx and Buddy were on the brink of euthanasia when you found them. That is why I said I believe Alex IS still alive. No way could this woman only bring two back to you without exposing herself. So she had to cover her tracks and take a cowardly and cruel way out.

My prayers still stand in that Alex is alive and well somewhere. It may take alot of time, but you will get the answers you seek so desperately my friend.

Much love to you,
Beth

Dearest Friends, I wish very much to share something with you that has brought me many happy tears. I pray, wish and hope it will bring you some small comfort in this terrible time of your sorrow, grief and loneliness.

Even if you don't have sound but are capable of viewing videos, it's still very much worth watching and will warm your heart. This video is of animals from all over the world. Most were rescued from abuse, abandonment and shelters while others are simply very friendly wild life.

It's a loving and lovely video with the song "Bless the Beasts and the Children" by The Carpenters which begins a little more than 1 and 1/2 minutes into the video.

Please click on The Rainbow Bridge image below with your volume turned up and Bless the Beasts and the Children!

Many Blessings to Each and Every One of You With Tons of Hugs and Much Love!

Always,
Angel xoxoxox

Thanks again Angel. First thing this morning I watched and listened again to "Bless the Beasts and the Children." As a result, it set the perfect mood for bringing in a wonderful and meaningful day.

Hugs,
Beth

[AngelCareOne]

{{{{{{{Beth}}}}}}} I am so glad and Bless You!

I just put a little something in your mailbox for you and "I Mean It From The Bottom of My Heart!"

Special Delivery for Beth ...

Many Bright Blessings!

"Keeping You Posted." Here is a copy and paste of the email I sent to my lawyer just this morning. If you would like to see the actual notice that was served, please let me know and I'll copy and paste it here, too. I know you wish to be kept up to date as to what is happening so that is why I'm keeping you dear, compassionate, loving people informed. Thank you so much for caring!!! Here is the copy and paste of the email BUT! I am LEAVING OUT my lawyer's and my email addresses for obvious reasons. Big Hugs! On with this morning's email to John (that is his real name) ...

"DEAR JOHN, THE NOTICE OF REMEDY FOR CIVIL THEFT WAS SERVED TO THE THREE PARTIES ON MAY 23, 2008. IT IS CLOSE TO THE THIRTY DAYS IN WHICH THEY HAVE TO RESPOND.

JOHN, I AM GOING TO TAKE OUT A LOAN AND ... PLEASE PARDON MY FOUL LANGUAGE BUT I WISH TO NAIL THOSE A-HOLES GOOD AND PROPER FOR EVERY CRIME THEY HAVE COMMITTED. I KNOW THAT I DON'T HAVE TO TELL YOU BUT ... THIS IS ALL ON BEHALF OF SEEKING EARTHLY JUSTICE FOR ALEX.

I UNDERSTAND THAT THE CIVIL THEFT TRIAL WILL BE FIRST. AM I CORRECT? IF SO, I AM POSITIVE THAT WE SHALL PREVAIL. AFTER THAT HAS CONCLUDED, I WANT TO NAIL THOSE MONSTERS FOR ANY AND EVERY INFRACTION AND CRIME THEY HAVE COMMITTED BE IT HOA, US DISABILITIES ACT, US PRIVACY ACT, AND SO ON.

SINCE I HAVE NEVER TAKEN OUT A LOAN BEFORE, I DO NOT KNOW HOW LONG IT TAKES TO GET THE MONEY. TONY IS GOING TO HELP ME THROUGH THE PROCESS AND SAYS IT IS SIMPLE, FAST AND SO FORTH. SINCE HE HAS TAKEN OUT THESE TYPES OF LOANS BEFORE, I'M SURE HE KNOWS WHAT HE'S TALKING ABOUT.

JOHN, I KNOW YOU ARE VERY BUSY IN YOUR PRACTICE SO PLEASE BE HONEST WITH ME. I TRUST YOU. WILL YOU HAVE THE TIME TO DEVOTE ALL THAT'S NECESSARY WHEN LEVELING ALL CHARGES, FILING ALL SUITS AND LITIGATING? I DO NOT WANT ANYONE BUT YOU. YOU TRULY CARE AND ARE THE BEST!

PLEASE RESPOND WHEN YOU ARE ABLE.

BLESSINGS AND MANY KIND THANKS!

Always,
Dottie x x x

Angel talking again. The reason that the email is in ALL CAPITAL LETTERS is because John prefers it that way. So, no. I wasn't shouting.

Many Bright Blessings and Thank You Again Sooo Much for Caring and for Your Support to Me!!!

Always,
Angel xoxoxox

AngelCareOne, am so sorry for being a bit late to find out about what happened to Alex, it's really a shame, I don't understand how can do that to him and to you? My heart goes to you and him that my be messing you so badly, I wish I could say or do something for the two of you so both can reunite and be together again. Alex is so beautiful [and they know it] Sonner or later they will pay for what they did to you both, God Bless you and Alex whenever you are, you will be missed always, Buster and Jorge .
