		<description>You are right about the rescheduling. I just have not posted the sad news yet. However, as to why the lawyer was terminated, that is purely speculation. Of course, we all could probably safely assume that the lawyer was tiring of the antics or that Scott was not getting him to do his bidding.</description>

What goes around comes around and Mr Shields is a disgrace to all those heroes who helped at 9.ll - he should be disgusted at himself, but i guess he really thinks he is a hero - sad man.</description>

		<description>What a fantastic video! Golden's really are the best! We have had our lovely retriever for almost a year now and I wouldn't be without her. She was 8 months old when she came to live with us and vey nervous of people (owing to not being socialised as a puppy), she's very playful and tolerant with the kids, just like Jersey is in the video!

		<description>Like anyone who has ever come into contact with Jake, this is a heartfelt and teary day to learn of his passing. 14 years is an amazing life for an animal that brought joy, laughter and love to so many. Jake's wonderful legacy is also a tribute to his owner and trainer Jeff "DogMan" Marchal, who I hope will continue to train more of Jake's pups to continue the role of The Diamond Dog.
We see so many stories about the wonders of animals and humans interacting and bringing love and joy - Jake was the epitome of that.
If heaven allows dogs, I know that Jake is right now bringing a basket of water bottles out to the Archangles.</description>

		<description>Winston, 11 is a master number. 

MASTER OF Idealism, inspiration, revelation, leader — I inspire…

The number 11 Life Path has the connotation of illumination describing its general focus. This is the number associated with spiritual awareness. As one of the two master numbers, 11 vibrations yield understanding and knowledge beyond the grasp of others. The attitude toward life of those possessing this Life Path is somewhat extreme; extremely intuitive, avant-garde, idealistic, visionary, and cultured. These extremes make you an interesting, if unusual person, with much to offer society. The Life Path 11 person is deep-thinking, and you are no doubt interested in understanding many of life's mysteries and more intriguing facets. Your inventive mind and broadminded views will permit you to succeed in life in any number of ventures. You can best serve society, however, in those endeavors utilizing your skills of counseling and guidance. Much of your idealism is people oriented and quite humanitarian in nature. You expect a great deal of yourself and of those to whom you are close.

On the negative side, there is a lot of nervous tension associated with the 11 life path, and you can be a difficult person to deal with because of this. For this reason, relationships, at times, can be difficult. This is a Life Path that seems to feature broad mood swings between the elation and depression. You are likely to have trouble making decisions and getting your life in gear, so to speak. There is a tendency for the 11 to harbor feelings of uneasiness, and dissatisfaction with accomplishments and personal progress in life. Your grandiose schemes usually make sense, but you can get off the track and they can be very impractical. You have a very distinct side that lacks common sense, and you are quite often unable to distinguish between fantasy and reality. In this regard, you are perhaps more of a dreamer than a doer. When you do get on target, your ideas seem to have been inspired on high. Perhaps you are not a leader, but you are a visionary and a very talented idea person.</description>

		<description>Hi Rochelle.  Under the "credit where credit is due" category, I didn't write this feature.  A couple of colleagues of mine -- Denise Adams, editor of NASA Langley's Researcher News, and Kathy Barnstorff, NASA Langley Public Affairs -- wrote and edited it.  I guess it's also under the "better late than never" category now, too.

Aries was a very sweet and adorable dog.  Evan Horowitz took her everywhere he went on Center -- meetings, labs, everywhere.  He did a fantastic job of socializing her.  He worked hard at it.  On many days, you could see the two of them strolling down Langley Blvd. (i.e., the main street through NASA Langley) at lunch.

Aries returned to Michigan in early 2008.  I don't have any more current information on her status, but I'd bet she's doing wonderful.</description>

		<description>Donna, I am so, so sorry. Fibrosarcoma is an especially viscious canner. It took my Darcy over 2 years ago and I am still grieving horribly over it. Please do not delay in examining all options and getting her a treatment that provides her with the best quality of life.</description>

		<description>Rochelle!  I came across your site when searching for articles about goldens used in therapy, and noticed you had posted an article about me and Annie, a sweet golden girl I trained for a Hospice here in Kentucky.  Your background is incredible, and no doubt with your psychology background  you understand all the value these wonderful dogs can add to our lives.  Annie is one of 6 goldens I have rescued and trained - one for a lady in a wheelchair, three for hospital work, one as a companion to a developmentally disabled girl, and Annie.  Sadly, one of the dogs I trained succumbed to cancer a year after his training :(, but while he was with me, he made a lot of patients happy.
I'm now reading the book called "The Golden Bridge" about using them with autistic children, written by a lady with Northern Star, an organization that raises and trains goldens for special children.

It may interest you to know Annie started seeing patients last week and is doing beautifully!  She's a good girl and is helping a lot of patients and their families.  A follow up article was done in the Richmond Register on Monday, April 7th.

Thanks for spreading the word about these wonderful dogs!</description>

		<description>Hello
I often stop at your blog to enjoy the postings...love dogs and goldens are the best. However, right now happily living with a beagle lab rescue and he is the center of our world...but I wanted to pass along a website I found which I thought was very pertinent to your wonderful efforts to raise awareness of canine cancer. 
I don't know if you have seen this website before so I apologize for my presumptiveness...I am sending the blog with a powerful documentary (or portion of a dogumentary). Thanks so much and really enjoy this website

		<description>Please do write a letter to the Judge as I have detailed in previous posts. And, get these other folks to write in. I suspect that given Scott's non-criminal offense, his pleading guilty, and his getting many cronies to write in letters about his heroic deeds, he will be let off with a slap on the wrist.</description>

		<description>Scott Shields is alumni of Windsor Mountain School.

  He wound up trying to con fellow alumni for his bogus fund.
    At  first we believed him until some of us started talking among ourselves. A few saavy members smelled a rat.
      I have a brother who sells Fire Engines for a living and
 is a Volunteer Firefighter/Paramedic. Who told me that he
knew of him and told me to stay away. 
      Another friend has a sister  who holds  a pretty High position

     This despicable person has managed to con many people

          As many of us from the Windsor Mountain had lost friends &#38;  family in 9/11 and are animal lovers. We were ready to string him up ourselves (if was legal).

		<description>Roberta, I am simply amazed that you found this. Yes, I did see it on one of my lists and put it up as the post said cross-posting was being encouraged. I was happy to find something to put up that aligned with my own philosophy.

A 45-50 minute discussion of this complex issue cannot do it justice, you are right about that. Possibly, an entire week could be devoted to the issue with multiple aspects then researched and discussed by different types of professionals in the dog world.

I do hope you go and visit my site at http://landofpuregold.com . There are over 1000 pages but everything is quite researched and supported as my own background in school psychology has always relied on finding good research and making sense of a situation from multiple sources and perspectives.</description>

"Here is an intelligent discussion from Roberta Pliner, a woman who writes professionally along with being the owner of Irish Wolfhounds."

Rochelle, I don't how how you got onto my response to
Oprah's puppy mill report, much less how you knew I am
a writer who has Irish wolfhounds.   Perhaps one of the
many cross-post permissions I was asked for and gave
thoughout much of today is the connection.   Whatever,
I very much appreciate your kind words.   Besides that,
you and I are certainly on the same page about Oprah's
shows.   Can we say tabloid journalism--at best?

I also want to note that the issues raised by Oprah's
and her staff's reporting are too complicated for a
one-hour show minus a lot of commercial time.   I know
I could have been somewhat more nuanced myself, but
in my dealings with animal rightist interests,  I've found,
regrettably, that one cannot afford to be nuanced.   Give
so much as an inch and the animal rights hand will pull
one down into the quicksand of AR propaganda never
to emerge intact.

I like this website though, and am happy to have
discovered it, no matter how I got here.

		<description>"The above statement implies that Dr. Leuscher knows for absolute certain what a dog is thinking"
He doesn't need telepathy to determine fear.  The physiological response to fear is consistent among animals - a dog, person, cow all have the same responses to fear. And our responses to flooding has more to do with fatigue (like perfume that is no longer smelled at a party) than a dog dealing with fear. 

Prolonged exposure also creates far more problems as is seen in many animals, though most would be more familiar with soldiers and PTSD. They are exposed to fear invoking situations for prolonged periods and their brain is unable to recover. The same thing has been observed in animals.

She trivially likens short term, anxiety inducing events with flooding a phobic animal. And equivocates when she compares coming upon a fear-causing situation and not letting the dog run unrestrained into possibly greater harm and forcefully taking a dog into its worst nightmare and cruelly standing there while the dog turns into a mass of nerves.

Miller's stupidly compares flooding to a vet visit. There are many problems with this comparison, the first being is that the vet doesn't kidnap your dog to his office. You take him there, so he can't be blamed for "flooding" and cruelty as  he puts it - it's the owner. That's why responsible, caring  owners, train their animals to make the visit a pleasant experience.

"Human children are not responsible for all the serious bite wounds and human deaths caused by dogs each year. "

If we check the stats, we see children are responsible for far more deaths than dogs, and children who grow up to be adults even more so - 17000 homicides. If you want to compare, then you can find parallels between the abusive methods of Millan and the abuse many of these criminal faced during their childhood.

As Leuscher mentions most of Millan's explanations about behavior, social hierarchies are wrong. He basis his training on these misconceptions so it's no wonder that his approach is so wrong-headed.  Despite what Millan believes our dogs are not trying to dominate us and take over the world.</description>

		<description>I'm wondering about a news article that I read which stated Mr. Shields utilized a mailing address of 36 Ketley Place Princeton, NJ 08540 which is really West Windsor.  If I'm not mistaken their is a possibility the section/unit address is for the low income portion of housing for those townhomes.  Did he qualify?  Those units are not supposed to be rentals.  Just wondering.</description>

		<description>Hi Rochelle,
I just looked on Youtube and saw a link from your website. Thank you for putting us up. How did you find us? I am always curious as I update the web page daily and try to put up videos often to gain more interest.  

Anyways, I hope the post drums up some donations for Tomi and her puppies. 

Thanks,

For what it is worth, he was once my friend and as such I begged him to stop his lies and tall-tales. I knew that eventually he would spin a terrible web for himself. Well, Scott, you did it didn't you? Now you have a felony conviction to haunt you the rest of your days.</description>

		<description>I am always glad to see rescuers taking the time to save dogs.  I've always thought there should be a special award for them...  Not only do they rescue us when we need help, but they use the same compassion to rescue our furry friends too!  I think they understand that to some people, a dog is just a dog, but to the rest of us, it is a family member...</description>

		<description>Please Please Please lock these two frauds up. Please protect the innocent public including school children's lunch money from the grubby hands of these two.

Please protect Theodore, may he go and live with a normal family somewhere and not be paraded around in that phoney search and rescue vest.</description>

		<description>Scott may have something to say about attempting to become a hero in his own mind, but Patty certainly has nothing to say for herself. She has several prior convictions for fraud. Apparently she liked to write rubber checks back in the CT days. The Greenwich Police had enough and arrested her a few times.

Scott has at least one arrest for assault and battery. Guess who he was battering? Patty Shields AKA Patty Shapiro.

These two are have a fraud and bankruptcy history going back 20 years. Neither one of them ever paid income tax, and now they are collecting SSI. 

They will always be wards of the state, whether they are incarcerated or not. At least if they get some time, they can get their mental and physical health issues addressed. Scott will have a captive audience to tell his hero lies to. With his dressmaking skills he might become a poular guy in the joint.

I for one will be writing Jenna Dabbs to implore her to get these two the time they need. Please follow suit.</description>

		<description>Would the real Hero Golden retriever please stand up?? Riley, I am not sure whether or not you crossed the rainbow bridge, but you so badly deserve a hug. You are a hero. 
Unfortunately Scott, you did your elderly retriever more harm then good taking him to an unsafe area at that age. You should be ashamed. Maybe you will pay this time.</description>

		<description>What is really sad is the fact that there are thousands of search and rescue volunteers that are honest, have trained and certified and are now blemished.

As the founder of the search and rescue dog foundation and a 911 k-9 handler, I have been asked about the legitimacy of my foundation because of Scott.

Volunteers spend  hundreds of hours training and thousands of dollars of their own money to assist others.

 For the majority of the general public...no we do not get paid by the government. EVERYTHING comes out of our own pockets.

		<description>Rochelle, thank you for your kind words.  I took some time and reflected on Charlie's life with us and thankful that he shared his love with us.  I truly understand how lucky we are to have been part of his life.  I know that dealing with his loss will take a long time, and dealing with this loss is very new to me but remembering all the love and happiness that surrounded him will give me the strength to get through the very sad and lonely times ahead of me and my family.    Again, Rochelle, thank you for your kind words and a wonderful place to visit.  Janine</description>

		<description>Janine, I am so, so sorry for your loss. I know the pain that you must be going through and am still grieving my Darcy, who has been gone two years now. Sadly, it feels like it was yesterday, and sometimes, depending on the relationship, it can take some years to work through a loss and move on.

But, I consider us the lucky ones, for the ability to form such a close bond with these special souls speaks volumes. I actually feel sorry for those people who have never experienced what we have .... even though it seems to be over before we know it.</description>

<p>But, I consider us the lucky ones, for the ability to form such a close bond with these special souls speaks volumes. I actually feel sorry for those people who have never experienced what we have &#8230;. even though it seems to be over before we know it.</p>

		<description>Dear Rochelle, 

I stumbled on your site yesterday while I was looking for some guidance and comfort about the loss of our Charlie.   Charlie was a 13 year wonderful golden, having just let him go yesterday; I found solace with your words and stories of other golden. I never knew that I could be overwhelmed with such sadness, only to find out I am not alone.  As I struggle through the next days and weeks to come not wanting to bear the thought that our Charlie will no longer be part of our lives, I will visit this site and take comfort with the stories that are shared.  Thank you for providing such a wonderful place.</description>

		<description>Although we cannot overlook the importance of the responsiblity of the breeder to ensure the health and safety of the animals they are selling, Disney certainly can afford to buy from reputable breeders and not contribute to the puppy mill industry!!  The state that those dogs were in upon arriving at the Vancouver hospital indicates that no one rushed in at the first sign of a problem.  A huge co orporation like Disney, who infiltrates every home with their films, TV shows, and merchandise of all shapes and sizes, should be held to a certain level of social responsibility if allowed to influence our children.  Puppies die...I know, they also get sick and it is sad.  In this case many of the deaths were avoidable and the suffering of those who have survived (with long term GI damage) is deplorable.  Shame on you Disney.</description>

		<description>These animals belong to God who put them in our care to protect.  The ones who should be in jail are the ones who support and directly abuse these animals.  It is a crime.  These people should be honored for trying to liberate these innocent animals.  Jesus was radical and we need more Catholics and Protestant Christians to have the courage to speak out.  Someday we will all be held accountable - not by a Judge, but by the Creator of these animals.

		<description>I just saw this and realized how big a "celeb" our dog was becoming. His desire to pick up things and bring them home has led to us having the biggest sticks and fullest recycling buckets in the neighborhood. To Chase, its just fun, but if it is enough to encourage people to just pickup something and throw it away or recycle it, then even better. BTW, he is our first Golden and he is a great dog.</description>

		<description>Thanks everyone for your kind regards. While I am normally not feeling too well, when I get a virus on top of that then it can be bad. There is some kind of stomach virus going around and it sure took me and my honey for a loop. He rebounded much quicker, of course, so I am still struggling just to sit up at the computer.

And, I am so behind in sharing lots of Golden goodies to cheer everyone up ...... including myself, of course.</description>
