The Rant continues
Spoke with Madeleine also today, and she expressed her frustrations to me as well and that she actually went to the chief of police to get them to review our case.
I just wonder about what the problem with the staffing of our police department is, and how bad it is. And why should it be such a secret. It just baffles me that we're supposed to be kept ignorant. It's the old mentality that people can't handle the truth.
Went to a fund raiser for Donna Frye yesterday, and she made one of those interesting points, that even in 2005 a woman has to be far more intelligent to be considered as a candidate for those typically "male" jobs, like being mayor. Apparently there was a web pole being done that actually asked the question of whether a woman is ready for that job... Geezz, what is this?
I told her I totally sympathized given the struggles I am facing myself with the company and the fight with TPMG. You know, it's oh, this woman won't be any trouble, we can just take adventage.
I have decided that I really like Donna, and will totally support her all the way!
A bit of a rant today. I still have not heard back from the detective regarding what actually happened. Luckily Sheila is back, and now clean, but we still have not heard about the people who broke in.

GOOD NEWS - SHEILA IS BACK
Monday night, when I was in San Francisco at CTIA, the Detective called me announcing that she and her partner were on their way from Santee and they had Sheila with them!!!
They brought her home later that evening, and both dog and boy are happily reunited!!
It is Sunday...
Just another Sunday. As usual dad and I went grocery shopping, and then he decided to "fix" the bathroom fixture in the upstairs bathroom. We'll see... Right now there is no running water.
Tom is working on something at Peter's house. He's been able to get around quite well with his cast on. Good thing it's his left wrist.
London, VJ Day 2005 - Memorial to the Women of WW II - very nice!

Some good news for a change
Actually spoke real time with the detective assigned to our stolen dog case!! Apparently our San DIego police department has a new policy where they are not to disclose to the public how very understaffed they are. Great!!!
As far as finding Sheila, apparently the individuals involved were not from the skateboarding groups Tom hangs with. There is some possibility that she was released around Grossmont Center or that someone is actually still taking care of her. The detective said she would call me today with any more news.
Her objective is to first find Sheila and get her back, and then go after the people, so as not to spook them. I agree!
Let's keep our fingers crossed that there is more good news today

Still looking
Well, nothing new to report. Sheila has not been turned into any of the shelters, and Tom is back now and very upset.
I just can't understand why anyone would take someone's pet, it just seems so very weird. I hope she's ok and that whoever took her, takes care of her, especially during the hot days when she needs extra water.
Tom is with Doug and Shey today and for the rest of the Labor Day weekend, and back on Monday. Tuesday is the big day, first day of High School for him.
Although the trip to Europe was fun, I know this dog-knappping has been a drag and a very unhappy ending to this summer vacation.
