My Pitbull Cow Another Trash to Treasure


We Live Hand to Mouth
If I saw one of my neighbors In distress,
I would Do No Different than what I do for the Animals
That is the difference between Listening to Mans Law & God's Law
2012
My Pitbull Cow Another Trash to Treasure

He was Once a throw away by his Breeders
He was Thrown Away at my neighbors Yardsale
Tossed out of the car onto the sidewalk

Pitbull puppy w/ parvo

March 2009
At the Vets being told to put him down
Poor Guy could barely lift his head


He had Parvo
But we did not know that
All we Knew was that he was heading to the pound as a 1 month old Pitbull

So of course we took him in
With little hopes to keep him
He was Placed on my husbands pillow as my husband was napping
He woke up to this little guy Pouring his blood all over my bed and beside my husbands head.

ARE YOU KIDDING ME!
He had PARVO!

After A Vet visit ~ Being told to put him down ~ $1400 or so, (My house payment)
2 weeks & a lot of tears later,
The little guy survived & We as a family learned a lot about how to use IV's


Pitbull Puppy 

This is Zeus almost 10 days Later
Look He's Smiling




A few more days later!
He's up walking around!
Now we are on the phone with an MMA fighter
Who Offered to Provide The High Protein Diet he needed to get 100% again
That's when the cop showed up

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

2012
Waiting for his boy to take his walk


Sleepy Zeus 

We call him Hot Dog


He has this "thing" He only wakes up if there is food or the Idea of a Walk


 
Zeus Has heart prints on his chest ! He Was made for us! I've got a heart print on my belly too! But mine was Made with Ink in 1994.


Parvo
Parvo is an Intestinal Virus
This virus eats the internal lining of the intestines,
The virus does NOT kill the animal
The Starvation, Loss of blood & Dehydration Kills the animal

If you can keep the animal Hydrated & Cleaned of blood
It can Survive
It is a lot of work but It is do able
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


Pitbull Love



Zeus IS Neutered!
He was born Only to be a Mate breeder for his sister
(STUPID PEOPLE! STUPID BACKYARD BREEDERS)
I will NOT be sorry for my anger towards the STUPIDS who
Think of NO One or Nothing other than Themselves!

After Zeus was healed up, his previous owners sent the cops to my house demanding him back.
I showed the cop the vet bills, the picture he requested and he (Thank God) Sided with us.
His words were
Legally, You have to give the dog back
But you have had him for over 3 months, Racked up Bills for him.
They will have to take you to court & Prove through DNA that he belongs to them
They do not have any vet bills for any of their dogs.
So that will be difficult for them
The cop Knew, this dog was going to be used as a breeder/fight dog.
and Morally could NOT put this dog back in their hands.
I truly appreciate this man, Most cops would not even want to deal with this kind of drama.
He'll Never know how much I appreciate him 
.
That was about 3 years ago in March

Zeus Is one of the Many Animals we have Helped Overcome
This is Why I sell
He Is not up for adoption
He is My One True Love

So I think She will Be my Newest Project

She's wearing a hair net to keep her hair nice
She is Ceramic head & Limbs
The doll is approx 6-7 inches tall
I do not have any other information about her

I think she needs to be on a Pillar of sorts,
Or may be as a bookend for a Victorian Style Kids Bedroom?

One More Cat On The Spay List, Ferals & Strays


Strays being dumped
This one We call Stinky
(We Feed him because he is a stray (DUMPED)
Left for dead ~ Piss Me OFF STUPID WOMAN!~
He's very sick
But he was Worse 2 weeks ago
We still could NOT capture him though
He is a Stray NOT a Feral

The woman raises (Saves the kittens) Then Throws them away When they are no longer cute!
Leaving Us with watching them die or survive

gray and white fluffy cat





This year has been extra hard getting these strays neutered / spayed. I've been relying on sales instead of doing the fundraising through my friends & family.
There is a woman from a neighborhood street Over who has been DUMPING off Kittens lately
Her count is up to 4 now.
8/22
This is one of the first of the DUMPED Babies
I had left it out front It was crying for the mamma
I thought maybe it was from one of the ferals
I left it alone for nature to take it's course
It got quite
I walked out to check
King Ralph was in the beginning of the killing of the baby
I took the baby away from King Ralph
Brought it inside
Gave it a bottle w/ Kitten formula
It took to the bottle Immediately
That's how I realized It had been bottle fed before
FREAKING STUPID BI*CH
QUIT DROPPING OFF THE BABIES!

Kitten Left for Dead

3 days later


Eyes are opening

We've named him Toby (Satan for short)
He is a feisty little F**Ker.
Sucks on the fats of my hands first thing in the morning
He's Now much bigger
Still waiting to be adopted
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


She dumps them here sick & before they are even able to eat on their own.
It's literally making me sick.

Ferals Have a Different Look in their Eyes
The cat above is a feral from ONE of the New Batches In our Hood
I'll Not feed these ones If I can Help it
I do give in Like once a week, Just so I don't have to watch them starve to death.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
UPDATE
~~~~~~~~
November 27th, 2012




The final female cat has been spayed on November 26th
Thanks to Our beautiful Daughter Jody
Finances have run Pencil Lead thin
But she managed to find a way!
No MORE BABIES!
WAY TO GO JODY! KUDOS TO YOU!
~~~
Oh, the cat was neither In Heat or Pregnant on the day she went in for her spay
I am Putting up the video camera out front along with a sign of Being Taped Acknowledgement
For the Woman who has been dumping the cats.
IF & When she is On video,
I will be reporting her for animal abuse to the Maricopa county Sheriff office

~~~~~~~~~UP DATE~~~~~~~
Stinky
(1/20/13)
Stinky is still out front,
I've had to wean him off of expecting food from my door
He has gone over to the other house across the street with all of the other ferals
I hope she's feeding them or at least they are all teaching this beautiful cat how to capture his food!
He's still sneezing and getting thinner
But I just can not add another one to this collection we have going on in here!
Ugh
He is a beautiful cat and I'm sure he's a Love,
But, I know my Limits as well

Okay Yes I do I google+
I've not quite an idea what I am doing on Igoogle but I do google+
I google for Lots of stuff!
Mainly research for things similar to items I have found & put in the shop.
Seems others are igoogleing too, but I don't understand it.

I use to diggit, digg it duggerting whatever
I think I still have an Rss from my bonanza shop on my Old Myspace
But I'll never know since I do not remember any of my information to the old email I use to use
While doing my readings.

Kinda forgot about all the social networking sites I use to use before the "Academics" Road I took on.
If you do not use it, You will Lose it, pertaining to everything Specially How to use computer language and website building..
Anyhow, Yes I igoogle+ even though I've no idea what I am doing

Drought tolerant Color Landscaping, Loving My Yard Process!


I Love the IDEA of finally having a life giving beautiful Yard!
Even if you are in an apartment setting, There has to be a space to invite life in at.

~~~~~~~~
ADHD ALERT
I hate the smell of Old Potatoes!
I found a bag of old potatoes rotting in my pantry!
I do not know how I ever missed that bag!
Well I pulled it out of the closet & ended up tripping over it, Stepping into it~
I'm wondering Hum.. Since they are already rooting & stemming,,,, Should I replant them?
MY SHOE STINKS ~ Carry on
~~~~~~~~~~~~


 Potted Bushes make Great Houseplants!
                         Look at some of the ways you can harvest the blooms for your indoors!

Picture is linked to original site where the picture was taken from. 
Clicking on the photo will take you to that site.

Just gotta clip them every now and again.

Bonsai Bougainvillea ~ Linked to site image is found

Picture is linked to site picture was found on
Clicking on the picture will take you to that site


We went from a horrible Coral colored rock landscape, Pale Horrid cacti that attached themselves to Everything they could, creating A very Unapproachable Front yard.
Who wants to enjoy the evening when being covered with cacti needles and walking on toe cutting stones! Not to mention the goat heads that would grow up through the stones!
I was de weeding the front yard every 3 months, with NO Help!
Talk about ruining your fingernails to the bone!

These stones are Finally a thing of the past!
And it's only taken me about 10 years, 1 Trip to the Hospital and 2 emergency surgeries!
De - stoning the yard was one of the factors that had sent me into the hospital But I have got it done!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~`
I have a color goal I'm looking forward to producing, all plants will be low water to no water (conserve people) and Instead of Grass, I'm thinking sand or mulch pathways in between the plants! 
This way If I decide to add a Ground cover plant, I'll be able to later and still NOT have to mow!

I really wanted lavendar to fill my yard but after 3 attempts, I'll not go there again this year.
My yard is still outrageous as I sit here, but It is Growing and blooming into what It is going to be!
I'm so excited!!  Here are a few of the colors I've added since being out of the hospital. 

The pictures are NOT my Pictures, They are being used just to show what colors & Types of plants that are Low water in Arizona. They are a bit messy but I Love the colors all over the ground when the blooms leave the branch.


Purple Bougainvillea 

Red (dark Maroon) Bougainvillea

Coming Soon The Orange Mexican Flame!!
Each of these plants can be guided to grow up and in an archway type setting!
I'm so excited to have these babies Grow into Natural Arched Shade givers!
It's going to be just so beautiful!

Orange Mexican Flame
Coming soon! 11-16-12
I can get each Bush for approx $5 or less POTTED!
You can also find free ones On Craigslist (If you want to dig them up Yourself)
But I am So Not into spiders or landscaping for others...
So Heck Yes I'm Paying that $5 for my yard to represent
Me.

This yard started in April of 2012
~~~Tell You what After all the work I've put into this, The world Better Not end on Dec 21 or whatever..
Which it won't but just saying~~~

This photo is Years after removing the rocks
I got hurt and was Unable to do Anything That had to do with Lifting &
my guts falling out
But This time gave my Evergreens (Drought resistant) Time to grow!


This is my House from the street view
All I can think of is my Poor Neighbors Having to look at this for so long
The 2 bushes are NOW (11/12) Finally Growing!
Soon they will be the same height as the others
In this photo below, I have set up the small Cement block Wall
In front of the window bushes

I've added the first Bougvilla Bush
(Drought resistant)
This one is a deep red
Pulled in my Az Sedona Boulders
And as the weed barrier, I've used Old cat & dog food bags
Lined under a black fabric tarp


Here You can see my Mess
Ugh
But it is a Mess in Progress
The cement Cylinders are being used to create a mound around the base of the bushes
In the fore ground are Purple something or others
They are very small right now Less than a foot tall
But hey I got them 3 for $10
So I've got time, and they will grow into 8ft tall by 5ft wide A Natural
Low Water Drought resistant Living wall
Between My house and the neighbors!


Below Is a picture of Inspiration
Bees are going to Love this!
Now that I have all the large plants that will turn into Tall bushes
I can start working on the center of the yard and covering all of the Black Tarps
I'm Not sure YET of what Plants I will be using
But they will be Set so that I can have a circle in the center of the yard where
I can go just to Be in the middle of it
Just To Be In the Moment of it
Isn't that what Nature is about?




Az Low Water Yard In Progress
On a Low Budget

The way our finances are going, I'm really hoping NOT to lose my home before I am done
With this project.
