The Glade 4.0

Be advised Some people my disagree with some of the practices in this post in regards to to pets to those that do that's another topic for another place. My beliefs are what they are, and shared by many others.

Long story condense as much as I can.

Several months ago I got a call from my B.I.L wife concerning one of their dogs. The dog was crying and in pain couldn't walk anymore etc. This was to be expected as the dog had a severe wound that had been left untreated and allowed to fester, and become infected and infested. My B.I.L was out of town so I took the appropriate steps to put the animal down. Which was to find a quiet peaceful place and put her to rest.
Understand that the dogs talked about in this post are working hard working, incredibly loyal, amazingly intelligent animals. (You don't adopt one on a whim Australian cattle dogs, they adopt you.) as such they deserve to be treated inline with what they are.

Fast forward to current events
I have 3 ACDs My oldest being 16yrs old, She has been an amazing incredible animal all her life, over the last couple years she developed arthritis, loss of sight, and loss of hearing. several months ago she was diagnosed with intestinal cancer difficult to treat successfully, as a result of that bladder infections and other maladies have cropped up. She no longer has any bladder control and very little bowel control. That vet recommended planning to put her down in the very near future.
I took a little of time but finally got the ex and my daughter to sit down and discuss this(very emotional). My daughters was the final decision on this matter.
The task was left to me to deal with. I contacted My B.I.L. to call in a favor. He said he would do it.
He came over yesterday to pick up Mesha and do whats was needed. I loaned him a rifle that was appropriate for the task. he left I went to pick up some beer and good bourbon to numb the pain when he returned. after several hours I hadn't heard back from him I sent him a message asking if he got lost he finally replied that said he was on his way back.
Shortly after that I received a Phone call from his wife, yelling and screaming at me, about Mesha and how it wasn't time time to put her down (in her opinion). And she was going to call my daughter and tell her what was going on.(My Daughter made the final emotional decision). Needless to say I was not amused with someone seconding guessing my vet and my families choices in this matter. least of all the thought of subjecting my daughter to the emotional roller coaster and stress of this is uncalled for and out of line, to be blunt I read her the riot act and reamed her in a fashion that would have brought a drill instructor to tears.
when I calmed down I called up and informed her I was coming to get the dog and my rifle back, and would be on my way.
I showed up at the house to get mesha and get my rifle she went inside and started calling my ex wife and oldest daughter(who stopped by). I was out back having a slightly heated discussion with my B.I.L. (basically he needed to grow at set of balls). while we were having this discussion his wife decided to call the police and told them I was out back with several guns. (only one gun around secure in a case) Threatening her, my oldest daughter heard her tell the police that I was pointing gun at her husbands head, when in actuality he was carrying the rifle (in its case out to my truck). he returned with the rifle and commented that things just got all kinds of stupid. My Oldest daughter came out of the house and said she's insane I'm leaving I'll talk to you later. she didn't make to the end of the driveway (from the backyard you can't see anything going on in front of the house vegetation tends to mute most sound from that area). My B.I.L. went in the house to put the rifle away and deal with his wife or so I thought. I he went out front to talk to her and was promptly cuffed by the police. Still unaware of the situation out front I'm sitting out back waiting for his return when I get lit up by a Helo, and a P.A, announcement come out with your hands up. so wtf ok go check this out. I walk to the front a and get lit up by spotlights and everything else put my hands up and go through the routine. She had convinced the police I was heavily armed and dangerous. (wearing sweat pants tshirt and sandals). From there all kinds of fun ensued. needless to say 2 hours later after getting the facts from everybody most notably me and her husband, and her stating that she disagreed with what I was doing and she had been drinking all day things got sorted out. all guns on site were temporarily confiscated. we can pick them up Monday.
In my view she should be charged at a minimum with filling a false police report, if not criminal endangerment, her actions and lies put people's lives at risk, and used up a lot of police resources.
Such a joyous and emotional Saturday.

Wow. Yeah, she deserves some kind of consequence. I'm gonna go with court-mandated AA plus community service, if the charges were brought before me.

While she should be facing at least a fine for having filed a false report and wasted resources, akin to a false 911 call, the fact of the matter is nothing is going to happen to her. We cater to women who are afraid of guns.

Horrible situation to be in Leshani. I'm glad you are all okay. My condoleneces on the loss of your dog. I know how it feels all too well.

Hate you lost a dog, and sorry things didn't work out as planned.

I take mine to the vet when possible. It's worth the money IMO. But for those times it's not possible, I do the deed myself to ensure it's done right. I would never entrust anyone with that duty.

Sorry for the loss.

Well the fun continues, went to police Property today to get my stuff back which consisted of a ruger 10/22 and my O/U citori Pigeon shot gun (previous thread about this Long time ago.) and some ammo they had taken from My Jeep. Got everything back but The Shotgun - No Record of it.
WTF is going on.
To summarize as quickly as I can that shot gun was a gift from my Grandfather when I graduated High school. a couple years later it was confiscated by the police at a raid on the wrong address Where I happened to be after a day of hunting. it got lost then. Several years ago a Retired (deceased) police officer estate sale was processing Possessions and it got returned to me, as it had been reported, Police got their hands on it again and it's gone, Seriously do I have to wait another 20-30 years to see it again.
Just for reference current book value is about 7K

Your shotgun was stolen by a police officer for the second time. This is a common thing with firearms.

It's the valuable one that people want, and it's easy for something confiscated to just disappear. Incidentally, this is another reason why nothing is going to happen to your brother-in-law's wife. The police got an excuse to confiscate someone's guns, look through them, and take what they wanted - all because she filed a false police report. That isn't a situation police want to discourage.

The fact that someone made off with Leshani's gun years ago does not mean that's what's going on now, or that's what police commonly do. Yes, that is a situation police want to discourage; the vast majority have no interest in stealing citizens' property. Leshani should get a lawyer. You should stop pretending that you know what you're talking about and that this is anything other than adolescent nonsense.

I've have contacted my attn. and an Associate with the U.S. Marshall's Service

Video camera from B.I.L neighbor across the street clearly shows it being removed from my jeep.

If you have that kind of evidence, you should report it to the FBI. You are most likely not the only person, and a police gun theft ring is likely to be something they want to investigate.

In the process, try not listening to Coro. Your lawyer, the FBI or the Marshalls can do something about it. ***** about it on the internet and resenting all cops will get you absolutely nowhere.

I don't resent all cops I actually have above average respect for them, I understand the work that they do I have many friends that are Law enforcement, or in Intelligence services. it is the few bad ones that piss me off and then the attitude that they do no wrong that gets me pissed. The U.S Marshall I called is a fishing partner of mine he has opened a case and contacted FBI. as of today they have copies of video evidence.
I was asked today what would I like to happen
real simple who ever has my shotgun return to me in person, and resign from PD. Outside of that full charges.

I know you don't resent all cops, and I'm glad you're not following the example of those that do.

So as an added note one good hing came this week, But a freak accident on Thursday Killed my other dog, I was loading equipment in my jeep for a job site. Raider came out and was running around the front yard do what he does. Well I lost site of him no big deal, thought he went back in side because of the rain. couldn't find him inside went back out to look found him on the ground in a puddle of water against the Neighbors back gate. found out very quickly that the puddle was Electrified, ground fault. Not something I needed so soon.
So I wasn't in a very good mood when I had the meeting
