I remember when I saw the first picture of Patrick, I knew this poor soul was gone. When I finally got up the courage to look, to my happy surprise, he was alive… barely. AHS had him for the first day to stabilize him then he was of to Garden State Veterinary Hospital, where the miraculous recovery truly began.
The monster, Keisha Curtis, who did this to him, we pray will pay for her heinous abuse and torture to Patrick.
To All: In answer to the questions of the Plea Agreement, that Plea was rejected by the Defense Attorney representing Kisha Curtis. The Plea Agreement included 18 months in jail, $5000.00 in fines and an animal ban on the defendent. Again this is not unusual and moving forward we are confident that this case was handled properly by NJSPCA and that our case is strong and solid. Capt

AHS is still fighting to tear Patrick away from the only loving home he has ever known. Patrick has been with The Scavelli Family during this ordeal. He is loved for the first time in his life and they want to adopt him permanently. Yet, AHS is fighting to have him returned to their shelter/zoo. I thought shelters were supposed to want the best for the animals… guess not this one.
Please sign and share the petition below to tell the courts to let Patrick say with the Scavelli Family!
Dedicated to my husband…
When I heard this song by Chris Medina and watched the video of his beautiful lady, I knew this song was meant for my hubby.
I was diagnosed with MS three years into our marriage, right after the birth of our twins. Now wheelchair bound with many other issues due to the MS, my husband stays by my side. I am one of the blessed ones…
This Friday, May 6th, is the trial for Kisha Curtis. She ‘allegedly’ starved Patrick, put him in a plastic bag, and dropped him from a 19th floor garbage chute. This was to be his ‘burial’, but on this day he was saved.
abused and left for dead
We need to show our support and let our voices be heard and STOP animal cruelty.
Animal abuse is a stepping-stone away from child abuse, and abuse on any person these monsters deem weaker. It is not about the animal or the person;it is about control and power over another living being. It is time to stand together and say, “ENOUGH!”
Please help The Patrick Movement by letting your voice be heard too.
There is a link to a free fax service as well. So, please, take a minute out of your day and help us change the laws and make the abusers pay the price.
Thank you for helping me!
A special shout out to GSVS for the love and care you showed him and continue to show him!
There are now many FB communities for Patrick, my new one is A Dog Named Patrick. There are three California groups now to fight for Patrick. I hope to see you become a member at any one or all three of them. What information one does not have, another may.
On our show yesterday, The Padded Room, my bff Ruby and I talked about Patrick. It got a bit emotional at times, but it is hard to keep control and emotions in tact when discussing such horrific abuse of a living creature. You can listen to the 30 minute archive by clicking on our The Padded Room link.
I haven’t blogged much as of late… not much to say.
best to be quiet
This past year has been one of those roller-coaster rides you just want to get off. A not-so-fabulous hellish hospital stay, a few bad MS months, the waiting for the shower to be done, and just normal FML things.
But…
There is also the roller-coaster rides you never want to end. The love and support shown during and after my hellish hospital stay and during the bad MS months. Thanks to a couple of Angels, we are debt free and finally getting caught up. [so hoping the other shoe does not drop] I know, pessimism at its finest. I’m trying, lol
This year has also brought true friendships to light and I am so blessed with them. And yes, you know who you are.
I have no resolutions as I never keep them. I just hope for my MS to slow down before it puts me in a home. But, if the home is in an asylum, I might find it kind of cool. Free meds… need I say more. Wonder if they have wireless access…
So, I really don’t have much to say yet again.
I just wanted to wish all my family, friends, and anyone who needs a wish, A very happy and wonderful 2011. May all your dreams come true.
One lil thing too, remember to be a bit kinder and caring to those who may be struggling in their life. We never know what smiles may be hiding…
This year at my hubbies work they had their 2nd Annual MS Walk Bake sale to raise money for our team, Tracy’s MSKateers.
The Bake Sale
What I did not know is that not only were they raising money for the walk, but also for my shower fund!! I was supposed to go into his work that day, but when I woke up that morning I did not feel so good. After a bit, I got to feeling better and called my original ride, but she had already made new plans. Which was ok as it was beginning to rain, and me no like driving in the rain! lol
Anywho, I get an email from Bobbi, one of the amazing girls who put this all together, with pics of the table and some of the crew.
Money, money, money, money, money! M-O-N-E-Y!
Then I got this email:
We heard about your bathroom renovation and think it’s a great idea and something you really deserve.
We decided to pitch in the $1500 we raised today towards getting it done.
It’s a done deal and don’t even think about saying “no”.
Love you,
Tracy’s MSkateers
Hubby had me on speaker phone and through tears all I could get out was, ‘Thank you so much!’I was so surprised and so overwhelmed.
I’m thinking my shower dream is really going to happen. Monday, April 5, is the estimate date. I’m so excited.
We are so blessed with amazing friends and family.
My dream started At Fabulously 40 and Beyond after I had done a blog on my trials of taking a simple shower. A fabulous member, Judy, got the word out and they raised 1100.00 for my bathroom fund. It has been a long time coming, but I see my shower in sight!!
As many of you have read, I spilled wax on my favorite pair of UGG slippers that were given to me as a gift from an ‘inspiring’ woman. No one can remove the wax. It was too much and too deep in the sheepskin. So, my heart was broken. Today, a Zappos box came. Inside were a new pair of UGG slippers. The only difference is the color. My husband ordered them for me when he realized the others could not be saved. I was so socked as my hubby is awesome, but never thought he would do this. He thinks my shoes fetish is nutzzz. lol I was also a tad sad as my other pair are from someone I so adore. I will not throw them out. I packed them back in their box and am hoping that at some point there will be something to clean them.

Last week I actually got new pieces on my site A Fabulous Flair . Since my Hospital stay I have hibernated in my room. So, I pulled up my bootstraps and created! It felt so good to get something done and finished.
Brownie Blues
One of my new pieces. I just love the brown and blue together! If you find something you like, mention my blog and get 10% off.

I also have gone through the break-up of a friendship. I have come to the realization that her ‘throwing’ me away was the best thing ever! I feel so much more positive and that old adage, ‘a weight was taken off my shoulders’. It is true, once toxic is gone, you feel so much better. The negativity is gone, the back stabbing and back talking is gone. I always felt so drained after speaking with her. Now, I am full! So, I guess I should say thanks. I wish her the best of everything and hope she can truly find her peace.
PEACE!

I would like to ask you all for prayers today. A good friend, BFF Kat, needs some good thoughts, blessings, prayers whatever you do. She had to put her doggy down last week which was so hard for her. Then she had to have some tests done. Something in the test was found and she has to go back for additional testing. Please keep her in your heart for a good outcome. She is an amazing friend, mommy, and wife. I feel in my heart it will be ok, but extra blessings can never hurt!! I loves ya my mini-me!!
I feel like this is where I am living right now. Trapped inside the padded room with no escape. But, eventually I will escape it. I can do this by letting trusted friends and family in my heart and searching my own inner strength. I am finding myself through the help of an amazing internet ‘family’ at the Real Life Radio Network!
YOUR INSPIRATION STATION. Where Possibilities Become Reality.
My girl Ruby and I will soon be hosting a radio show at Blog Talk Radio RLRN, called The Padded Room Unlocked: Living Victoriously with Chronic Illness.
The network was created by the Fabulous Laurie Zieber . And the Mentor Hosts are the best Around!!
Please find the time to stop in and check out this phenomenal site created by a phenomenal woman!!
