URGENT - Dogs & Puppies Need Help NOW. Please read & pass on.

I posted to my public blog yesterday but forgot to post here. The shelter in Gaston, North Carolina, has an abundance of dogs & puppies in need of foster homes or adoption, or they will be gassed. This is urgent, as the shelter began gassing today. Please read the details for foster/adoption below, and pass them on. Let's get these guys some safe places or homes. And if you can donate to Help Save One, please do - your donation will also help save these dogs. If you can't get to NC, transport is being arranged, so please don't assume you can't take one of the dogs/puppies.

Foster homes needed for puppies (East Coast). please pass on [from Help Save One] Ok, things are getting desperate here. We have ten teeny tiny puppies that need a foster, that no one has stepped up for. We've had a lot of trouble finding foster homes lately... it seems that around this time las...t year, we had more fosters than we had dogs, and now, we can't even find one person to help!

Our transport is currently on the road, going from NH to NC and we can drop off anywhere along the way (except MA, as usual). We have 7 itty bitty shepherd mixes that look like little jelly beans, are are maybe 34 pounds each. They're 8 weeks old.We also have 3 chihuahua mixes that are a little too big to be chihuahua mixes.. maybe whippet/min pin... See More ... See Moremixes. Still small, though. 10 weeks old.We need to place these puppies ASAP. Transport is on the road, as I said, so please, even if you can just take one, it would help us out a ton.Send a message or email fostering@helpsaveone.org if you can help!We also have an adult lab that needs a foster, as well as a few of the Spalding dogs that need a place to go, if you'd prefer an adult.

2009 Can Fucking Bite Me

I should not be surprised, but 2009 found a way to emotionally bitchslap my ass one last time before the new year could arrive. My brother informs me we have to sell the land my dad did not want us to sell. The land we busted our asses working on when I was a kid. The land he loved so much that he died working it. The land he wanted to be buried on and that we scattered his ashes across and that me and my stepbrother buried the last half of those ashes on. I can't tell you how upsetting this is. I need $38,000 to rectify this crap, and fast. Anybody got some extra cash lying around? No? Yeah, didn't think so. Neither do I.

Probate law is fucking stupid, btw. Monies owed have to be paid back by the estate. If they're paid by a person, that person has to assume responsibility for the entire debt of the estate. But the estate can't be settled until all the debt is paid...which in some cases, it can't be until the estate is settled. Are you getting an idea of the level of fuckitude I'm dealing with, here? Yeah.

BTW, please don't try to be helpful and start telling me what probate law is. It varies from state to state, and we have a probate attorney. Believe me, if there were a way around the fubar, I'd be on it. I won't know more until I can talk to my brothers. This landed in my lap at 10pm last night. In fucking email, because my brother is an asshat.

This has honestly been the worst year in the worst 11-year period of my entire life. 2010 is not shaping up to be much better. My only solace at all is in finding out 2009 was the suck for pretty much everyone I know. I'm sorry they had shite years too, but at least I know it was an across the board suckfest, so God wasn't just gunning for me - he dropped the bomb on everyone.

Here's praying with everything I've got that 2010 improves, and fast. Because I can't take another year like this one.
