Need to VENT!!
 

Well today was a sad day at Area 442...:(
My beloved Walker Coon hound "Sara" was run over by a heartless
punk!!!

I had to leave early around 6:30 AM, Sara was flopping her tail
on the couch when I was getting ready to leave...
It has been in the 30's here the last couple of days so I asked her
if she wanted to go out or wait for Patti or Lil' Kenny to let her
do her thing... She passed on my invite. I said my good-byes
and hit the road. Lil' Kenny let her out around 7:30AM
for her usual chasing of
squirrels, rabbits, deer or what ever else is moving!
Friday is garbage day, and the driveway from Area 442 to the County
maintained road is about 4000 ft. We have those tote containers on wheels
and the easiest way is to drop that sucker on a trailer hitch
and head on out....
Well as Lil' Kenny was heading out with can in tow so was Sara...
When Kenny and his buddy Troy got to the county road and dropping
off the container they noticed a P/Up heading their direction at a high
rate of speed... Kenny's buddy Troy jumped out to signal the driver to slow down
as Kenny was trying to keep Sara from running out in front of the fast moving truck...
Well you guessed it, the "PUNK" went even faster before Kenny could
catch Sara and the "PUNK" ran her over and sped away!!!
Kenny jumped in the truck to chase the "PUNK" and got his tag
number. The SOB would not even stop....:mad:

After dealing with the Sheriff's Dept. and Animal control it all comes down
to a civil matter!! :confused::mad:

There are no laws to protect a "Free roaming dog"... BS!!!!!!!!!!

This "PUNK" lives on the next rural road to the south of Area 442..

I will miss my girl friend... She was always there to keep me company..

God bless you Sara!! Sleep tight in your backyard...:(

Thanks, for letting me blow off steam!!!

Sorry to hear of your loss...that sucks.

Man thats tough.

Ken.
Sorry to hear about, Sara. Fine looking hound and no doubt a better buddy. May she rest in peace between heavenly hounding adventures:(

Hope the PUNK ASS get his :mad:.

Hang tough on this difficult day of the Epiphany.

Ken & Patti, I'm So Sad to hear about your loss :( All you can do is remember the could times you had with her.

PS: Let me know when we need to target practice again with the backdrop facing the southern street!

Sorry to hear it, Ken. I guess we've all got an A-hole in our neighborhood, but it really sucks when they manage to do something really stupid like this. I guess we can at least be thankful that Kenny and Troy didn't get hit too. Hang in there, man.

If there is an upside, it will be when you bring the new pup home someday, sorry it had go down that way.

terrible news - i feel bad for your loss

karma is a bitch,remember that ...

Practice makes perfect. Has he ever been fishing?

Very sad,
Sandy, Janet, Darla, Wookie {rip}, Spanky, and Petey Big Mouth.

Nothing civil about this.

Can we get a Google Earth pic of his property??? Don't ask me why.......Payback time.....but, the Unibomber-Ted Kazinski may just have one more parcel to mail!!

Ken, so sorry to hear about the loss of Sara ... I know she was a good friend to you ... Always there to greet you with a wagging tail.

I'm sorry NoBones, some people are just wicked. Best to you and your family.

Hey Ken and Miss Patti,

As a friend, you know what's next.....Love 'ya and I'm really sorry!!

Take care!!
5-0

To all my CSC friends and family....
Thank-you from the bottom of my heart to all of you..
The response and phone calls really helped me through the day!!

It was a real tough day as everytime I headed for my shop
to try to do anything, there was Sara resting...:(

On weekends she would either be laying under the
SeaCraft or my truck while I piddled in the shop..
Chasing me while on the mower, tractor, or 4 wheeler..
It's the little things that she would do that made me
break down today as I would recall them.

The squirrels were having a field day in the yard with no
interference..

She was truly the best dog that a man could have!!! :)

On a positive note Lil' Kenny has a client that happens to
be an attorney, I know, I know, ambulance chasers....
He is going to (pro bono) burn this "PUNKS" butt!!!

Intentional cruelty to animals is his favorite thing to pursue!!

Bottom line is the "PUNK" has a security clearence that is in serious jeopardy! :cool:

Thanks again, time heals all wounds, but this one may take a while!

that's horrible, sorry for your loss!

Condolences from a fellow dog lover
 

Ken,

So sorry to hear about your loss of your good buddy Sara! A loyal friend like that quickly becomes part of the family. Sounds like she was a lot like Shadow, who got her name because she literally follows me around everywhere I go, so I can imagine what you're going through! We've lost several dogs due to old age, but as tough as that is, the one I had that was run over by a motorcycle when I was a kid was probably the toughest. If it's any consolation, my experience is that if you rescue a lab mix pup from the local pound, they imprint on you very quickly and you'll soon have the unconditional love of another lifelong friend. Good luck in finding your "Shadow"! Denny

Hi Ken,

Sorry to read this sad story. Especially sorry to hear about Sara going out before it was her time. I remember how I felt digging that hole for my last dog....that sucked. I hope you are greated by better days shortly.

Cheers
JOHN

PS: This d*ck must have no idea of the guns and ammo you have stockpiled ;-)

Ken

My thoughts are with you and your family as a bit of an animal lover myself I am not sure how I would be able to contain my anger if I witnessed your loss.

I've known grown men to cry over few things, the loss of their dog being one of them. I'm sincerely sorry for your loss of Sara (my daughter's name btw), especially so in the way it happened. May God bless.

They are part of the family that's for sure. Sorry to see this story Ken. The "Punk" will get his someday. What comes around goes around .......

strick

Ken, I'm so sorry for your loss. I've not been much of a dog person throughout my life, but, my daughter wore me down 2 yrs. ago and we got a lap dog. The little scoundrell has stolen my heart. I have some PUNKS like that speeding by my house everyday. It scares me to think of having to go through what you're dealing with. Hang in there!

Sorry for your loss. what a jerk .Had 2 treeing walker hounds from age 14 to 35 in my family. Great hounds. There is one for adoption locally here on the cape its killing me right now. They do like to be hounds though and run a scent, we lost the first Sam to a car on 28 in harwich, and Satch lived to be a varmint chasing old age. Great family dogs, kids could pull their ears and tails...satch however had a thing for small poodles and grabbing them by the neck and shaking.

Man, sorry to hear about that. That really sucks! Our thoughts are with you.

Ken,

Im sorry to hear about your loss. A dog is definately the best friend a man could ever have. All you can do is give them the best life you can for the short time that they are with us.

A similar thing happened to my boxer on the 15th in Rockledge at my girlfriend's. He was hit by a speeding car. I rushed him to the vet where he had to have emergency exploratory surgery to see where and if they could stop the internal bleeding. He had pretty severe internal injuries but is expected to make a full recovery. The girl stopped at least and admitted to going over the posted speed limit which is 20 mph. I cant imagine what it would feel like if he was killed or i had to put him down.

"A civil issue" is the same response i got from Rockledge PD. I was actually told by the officer that Florida's 'leash law' trumps the fact that she was speeding (even though a neighbor is willling to sign a statement saying that she admitted to speeding). I just chock it up to another example of Floridas imperfect justice system.

My condolences to you and your family. Let us know how it goes with the lawyer. I might have to use him/her. Again, sorry you lost your friend.

benjamin,

Thank-you for the condolences...:)

I stll miss my girl friend even after three weeks!!

The punk is toast, the ambulance chaser is going to
turn him out...

Never thought I'd root for an ambulance chaser but in this case I'll be leading the cheering, screaming - "Sick'em, Get 'em boy!":cool:

I would like to hear the outcome of what happens to that punk ass.. Please keep us posted.


I have a dog I care for just as much as you did with Sarah, and I couldn't imagine the pain and suffering you are going though. Sorry for your loss.

Ken - very sorry to hear
 

I don't get in here as often as I used to, so I'm way late on this, but I just read your post about Sara, and I feel your pain.

Look up, some night - there's another star in heaven, and know she'll be waiting for you someday .

My best to you and your family

Bill
