Irresponsible Rescuers. No more sick animals please!

I am all for rescuing an animal. I love the way people step up to the plate and take in an animal of unknown origins and of unknown treatment. I think this is admirable and shows how caring a person can be.

Now here is the BUT. Over the years as a dog walker I met many people in the parks who have rescued a dog or cat from the southern part of the United States. Great, how wonderful, I give you kudos for your need to help an animal is distress. Again here is the BUT. In the US things like heart worm and rabies are at epidemic proportions compared to Canada. Of these dogs that I have met over the years, 3 of these dogs came up here with full-blown HeartWorm. 2 others had Parvo. 3 where thought to have been exposed to Rabies, one of which died shortly after getting here. There have been many many others with a wide range of diseases which in Canada are pretty much non-existent, rare or not an issue or epidemic.

I knew at the time this was not right, but I did not dare say anything as I knew I would be verbally assaulted. No matter how passionate you are about rescuing animals, putting our healthy pets in jeopardy is irresponsible and uncaring. You have not thought this out. You gave little to no thought to how this might affect our pets. All you cared about at that moment was the poor animal and satisfying YOUR need to feel better that YOU made a difference in an animal’s life.

Now with the small percentage of animals I have encountered with these deadly health issues, how many do you think have gotten in under the radar that we don’t know about? You know that saying about seeing one cockroach……..There are a million more.

How and why does this bother me so much? I have a dog and this dog cannot be treated for heartworm as the medication needed to kill the worms, will kill him! No it’s not a question of whether he can tolerate the meds, it is a FACT and he has been taken off all types of meds with any kind of pesticide. Including even a simple flea collar. He is highly sensitive to these harsh medications.

I am not the only owner with a dog or cat with this kind of sensitivity. That being the aside, why should we tolerate exposing our pets to these horrible health risks at all? There is no need for this. The animals can still come here, only they should be given a clean bill of health BEFORE crossing the border into Canada. How is it that we can’t take our personal pets into the US without a rabies certificate but a dog without an owner can get in with known deadly health issues?

I want to let all the Rescue Operations out there know that I am no longer going to support you if you continue to bring in sick diseased animals. This practice must STOP and stop now. I am going to be screaming this from the roof tops if I see or hear of one more animal coming into Canada with deadly health risks to not only our pets but our wildlife.

If you think I am being overly reactive and if you think what I am saying is bullocks, then read the recent article in the Winter Issue of Animal Talk Magazine. This is distributed to all members of The Toronto Human Society. The article in particular is called “Heartworm Health Crisis in Ontario” I think the title says it all.

You need to be more aware of what is going on and you need to be more vigilant of where the animal is coming from and how its health was or is when it gets here.

It is the full responsibility of all the Rescue Operations to ensure the animals they are bringing in to Canada are healthy in every way! Hell we stopped Cattle because of Mad Cow, how is it that this is being overlooked or allowed?

Now I am going to feed my dogs, give them a kiss on the head and pray they don't get sick.

My Bead in a Bracelet....So Proud.

I am so flattered and proud that a Great Jewelry Designer made a FANTASTIC Bracelet with one of my Boro Beads. When I saw the picture I think my heart skipped a beat. I could not believe that was my bead! That's how good this Designer is.

I love seeing how others use my beads in their designs. It makes me smile every time.

You can find this Designers shop here

Dear Ange

and if you look at her Banner, you will see the Bracelet with my Boro Bumpy Bead. Isn't it beautiful?

I would like to thank her for the picture and for putting it on her banner. Sure makes a girl feel good!

Thank You Ange! You made my day :)

I hate being sick......

Oh Ugg, working with the Public can be a bit of a pain in the backside. As a bus Driver you are surrounded by people coughing and sneezing your entire 8-10 hour work period, 5 days a week. Being in a Bus is much like being in an Airplane, where everyone shares the air. I expected to get a Cold or two, but I did not expect it to get to the point I needed Puffers to breathe.

I am still fighting it off and can't seem to get rid of the Congestion in my Chest and my Sinuses get real bad at night. Not sure why they are okay during the day, but at night I have real trouble getting any air.

So my Torch time has been cut in half and the creative side of my Brain is suffocating. Seems lack of oxygen effects the creative ability. I have made some beads, but they are simple in nature. When I tried anything more daring, they ended up in the water jar of death.

I will be trying again tonight and tomorrow to make some Christmas Beads and a Set I have had on my mind for some time.

I have just set up a new account with JustBeads.com It is an Auction site, so if you are looking to get a deal on my beads, that might just be the place to look. I list them low in hopes of multiple bids, but seeing as I am sorta new there, I might not get the attentions of the long time buyers,,,, yet.

Here is the Link

Okay gotta go feed the dogs, and get started on some new beads.

Have a great night everyone!

AGLF... FIORENZA Egg Bead...SOLD

Yippee, the bead I made to copy our little friend Ullja has sold and the proceeds of the sale have been donated to the legal fund to stop her insanity. She herself tried to buy it...LOL I guess she wanted to help fight herself or herselves. I am beginning the think she has multiple personalities and really does believe all the lies she sprews.

I am just glad that I could offer up something and I am thankful for the buyer that is helping with this issue. I feel better now. I was starting to think no one wanted to touch it out of fear of that spiteful Ullja.

Again thank you to the buyer and to the people who are going to town on her...

YOU GO GET HER!! Take her fake ass to court and put that silly bitch in her place.

To Ullja. I have no idea why you are doing this and guite frankly I don't care nor does it matter to me or anyone, why.
You my Dear have accomplished nothing to hurt those you have targeted, as a matter of fact their sales and popularity have increased since you started this whole debacle. So if your thoughts were to ruin them, you have actually achieved the opposite.
The ONLY reputation that has been ruined and run into the ground is your OWN. You will never be trusted again, you will never be able to use your name in association with anything you make, sell, bake or shit out.

The ONLY person to blame for this self destruction is YOU. You are to blame. YOU did this to yourself. No one, not one person is responsible for your business demise except YOU. Until you accept responsiblity for your actions, you will never be at ease. Pointing fingers is so yesterday and childish. This did not have to get this far out of hand and there was a simple solution, but you still refused to admit to your own lies and the FRAUD that YOU committed.

Karma is a Bitch and I think someone just learned that lesson. No not me, not anyone you have targeted, YOU, YOU ULLJA, this IS Karma.

Now for all those wondering what bead. Here it is in all its Glory.




Ain't it so cute and ornate? Made in Canada of all things!

Anyway thanks again to the buyer and my thoughts and energy go out to those affected by her slop.

JUST IN CASE YOU ARE WONDERING THIS IS WHAT THIS IS ALL ABOUT

THE TRUTH ABOUT ULLJA

Read and click it and click it over and over to bring it up on the google searches. This can be YOUR way of showing support for the artists she is slandering and libeling and attemtping to defame.

Later peeps.

I AM BEADING AGAIN!!!!

LOL, yep I am back making beads. Now that I have the time. Well, sort of. I am working full time but my hours are better, giving me all day to make beads. I have some new inspiration and new ideas. I have found that being away from the torch has effected my control of heat, but I am getting better everyday.

Here is a new Theme I am working on. Still in progress, but I like it.

Wiccan Goddess. Front and Back




I am having fun again and have a renewed love of the flame. Sometimes I think we need to step away from things and not get involved in the drama that sometimes pops up now and then.

I am going to ty my hardest to keep positive and not let silly assed things get to me. It is so not worth the sapping of creative energy.

Anyway off to make some more beads.

Have a good night everyone!

The return of Ullja

There once was a woman named Ullja. She thought she would buy some handmade artisan beads. Very pretty she thought to herself, but what O what will I do with them. So little Ullja decided to take these O so pretty beads and list them on Etsy and re-sell them. Not only did she list them but she also claimed her own greedy insane hands made them. Well little, dumb, not gifted with insight Ullja, was caught and confronted by many of the makers of those beads. Little Ullja was given the BOOT off Etsy, DaWanda, IndiePublic and many other places. She then faded into the nothingness or so we thought.


She has now proven that once a criminal always a criminal and that without the aid of meds, people like her are incapable of taking a hard lesson learned and NOT repeating it.

She put her own foot in her mouth over on a place called Artfire. She posted some dates regarding her own business and licensing and she got called out on those dates. I must admit, yours truly called her out and put the dates in order to show that SHE herself was selling on Etsy all the while not having the proper license to do so as she HERSELF told us that her license EXPIRED in 2007 but she was selling well into 2008. Dumbass!!!!

She also tried to convince people she was in Italy leaning glass from the MASTERS for the past three years, but O wait, she was still selling her baked goods on ETSY well into 2008 from Woodway TEXAS!!!! Again Dumbass!!!.

So when questioned, she goes loony, batshit, nuts and starts attacking people verbally and calling all the artists she previously VIOLATED liars and jealous. Okay THAT is laughable. So she is then banned from Artfire. They had the smarts to realize they were dealing with a possible big Liability and didn’t want the trouble. Smart people, great business! Etsy and Paypal however are another story and the saga continues with them as they have not yet banned her from using their services. Therefore allowing her to continue to buy products from artists for the SOLE purpose to get their information. Some artists are aware of her, but many others aren’t and she is praying on people left right and center over there. She is making Etsy and Paypal look like idiots and they seem to be condoning her using them as a HUNTING ground!

She then continues her screwed up campaign to TRY to ruin those that spoke out an even many who have said nothing about her by fraudulently buying a piece from their shop, then reporting them to the TaxMan and anyone that would listen to her verbal diarrhea. Not only does she do this but somewhere in that Fried Egg of a Brain she decides to PUBLISH her Libel and Slander on the internet via a BLOG right here at Blogger.

It has already been proven by many that this blog of crap is hers even though her name is not on it, they have set the trap and she fell for it.

I decided to post this to let everyone know to watch out for her. She may buy a piece from you and if the buyer comes up as being in Woodway Texas with a name like Beads4U or with an email address on the Paypal transaction as beadsnsupplies, cancel the transaction and contact Etsy and Paypal right away to report her. Also don’t support someone like this EVER. Do not buy anything she sells, do not feed her by clicking on her dirty blog and please for the sake of your own reputation, until you get the whole story, don’t make any judgements about those that have spoken out. Even if you feel she is a good person because you met her once or twice, you have no idea what a person is really capable of.

The TRUTH
TRUTH

If you are really curious then click here for her vile blog

LIES

BUT please please after you do that, click on the TRUTH at least three times more to bring the real truth to the top of the google search.

Remember, DON'T FEED THE TROLLS

This bitch is gunna get her come upins real real soon!

Respect
