Thank you all so much for your kind words. The hearing was today and I feel it went very well, the town manager who was overseeing the hearing was very no-nonsense and listened to the facts. Every time they tried to change the subject he would say its not relevant and move on. They also tried to lie about a few past incidents and he caught them in their lies as well. The other neighbors all banded together and wrote a letter and had signatures from everyone on the block explaining how vicious Frank (the pit) is and how they all fear for the safety of their children. My husband and I were very touched by this gesture from our community. We will find out the outcome by tuesday, the animal control officer is going to hand deliver the ruling as soon as it is ready.

Today was a very emotional day for me, not only did we have the hearing, but when I returned home from work I found that our Lola had finally come home to us again. Along with her ashes in a memorial box was a personal handwritten letter from the vet who treated Lola the night of the attack. It explained her deep sympathy and sorrow over such a tragic incident and hope that we can find joy in our wonderful memories and also with our upcoming baby. I found it so touching and sweet that she took her time out of her busy schedule to do this for us. Lola and her story must have touched her deeply, everyone who knew her loved her instantly.

I realize in my last post I didn't talk much about my sweet little girl. She was a little 4lb cutie with a larger than life personality. She loved her toys and especially her little squeaky bouncy balls. She bossed around her big-little brother, and I think he secretly loved it! He always followed her lead. She was super friendly and loved all people and animals alike. If she saw you, she wanted to say Hi to you! And especially get her belly rubbed. She didn't mind getting her hair done everyday and even liked when we dressed her up in her pretty dresses(I think it was all the extra attention it got her!) She was afraid of nothing and always knew what she wanted and always figured out exactly how to get it. I will miss her nose kisses and snuggles. How she never wanted to get up in the morning and loved being cuddled under a ton of blankets. But most of all her sweet little face and the way she looked at you with so much love and affection that she couldn't wait to show you with lots and lots of kisses.

RIP Little Lola
~Momma's glad your back home and will be safe forever~
