New Year, New Me.....

 

*This post has been written over the course of several days…

 

I hope everyone had a safe and happy holiday season. It has been good here; no one floated away in all the rain! A new year brings many changes in life, and maturity. I have realized things need to change in order for me to stop being in a rut. I have been in a rut for a long time now and the new year has made me realize certain things need a major change.

The first change is that I am staying off social media, except to admin my groups. I have found in doing this my life has been so much calmer and happier. I have zero desire to reestablish a Facebook account after having such pleasure since my main account got nuked. I have found my life more peaceful and enjoyable so I will keep it that way.

I have made some changes already, ones that are working out so much better than being stuck in the mud. Some of those changes have dramatically made my quality of life better.

I have allowed myself to be manipulated for a while now, for that I apologize to those who were affected by any actions I may have taken while being manipulated. My eyes are wide open now and it will not happen again from the ones who had been manipulating me. I tend to want to see the good in people, overlooking the signs of how I was being used and manipulated. Not any more though, I have put a halt to it happening and will move forward from here picking up the pieces.

For over two years I have felt like I was stuck in a rut, stagnating while I screamed for progress only to see none occur. In all honesty, it felt as if I was moving backwards, making zero progress and that is not my vision for a good life or rescue. While I felt stuck, my goal for my property went unheard. It is time to get all of that back on track and move forward with the goals and dreams.

Many know I bought this property to give the unwanted and unadoptables a sanctuary for life. It was never meant to be general intake for perfectly adoptable animals. I am still stuck with two female dogs that have been forgotten about by everyone except me. One is spayed and vetted and ready to go and I still cannot get help taking pictures or leash training either of them.

I am also NOT a major dog person, yet this seems to be the only focus of the current rescue I work with. It did not matter how I begged for help with food, litter or fixing the cats here, little to none came from the rescue. I 100% support every rescue kitty on my place alone. I got tired of hearing how people did not wish to help with the cats, had other things to do, were too busy or whatever excuse it was when I would ask, so I stopped asking. But on the flip side all I did hear about is issues with the dogs……. How is it fair you want help with dogs you were begged to leave where they were, but will not help with the rescue cats? In all honesty, the dogs are personal animals NOT under the rescue, whereas the cats are rescue animals……

So, I spend time working with the shy ones, in hopes of one day making them adoptable. Progress is happening for sure Tigger and Blue are becoming more friendly. They are not yet available but will be soon.

For my FB groups, I approve posts a minimum of twice daily, usually more than that but a minimum of twice. I am also not tolerating the agitation some choose to do. I have banned one already and will ban the rest of the handful who continue trying it. I am tired of the political posts that name call, degrade, etc. You are adults and if you wish to make a political post it can be done in a mature adult manner not one that sounds like it came from junior high.

For now, though, just know the new year is rolling in new changes, positive ones and those changes will be for the good of our community. I feel good about the positive movement forward and I hope you do too.

I know I am rambling a bit, but it has been an eye opening few months and I am working on getting a bit more organized.

 

** New day same shit….

So, this part will be a bit of “I told you so”….

So, this morning you are having a bad day because I warned you some decisions you made were not good ones. Now, all I hear is how miserable the situation is…. YOUR decisions, not mine, have put you in the situation….. Not my issue to fi it for you either.

Over the last 18 months or so, I have been chatting with people to find some truth to a situation the rescue has been in. Why can’t Hooks get donations? Why can’t board members network animals? Why are some animals still here waiting for 2 years now? The answers I received were brutally honest in some cases and veiled truths in others. All said the same thing though…..

They hold you accountable for calling AC that day in October 2023 and this is why they have gone behind the scenes to hinder Hooks. They felt it could have been dealt with differently and you only called AC to spite BT. The ones I spoke with felt this and more tbh….. But they all clearly stated that as long as YOU are in rescue, they will treat YOU the same as they do BT since they feel on that October 2023 issue that you are both at fault.

This morning you tried to guilt me. It wasn’t the first time either….. For several months I begged you to do what you got paid to do, then you cried about me “docking your pay” when the work wasn’t done….. I told you I needed to focus on catching things up here, things YOU got paid to do, but refused to do or had too many excuses as to why you couldn’t, or empty promises of doing it at a future time.

So, this morning you state to me about unfulfilled promises I made to you about finishing the roof……Why would someone even try when you do not have the necessary materials sitting there? Why would someone go up on a roof in the wind? Wind you claim does not exist today…… Why am I giving said person Amazon stuff in order for them to do that job? Why is that more important when there is no rain for the next 10 days and Dave’s wife is finally home and need that camper properly levelled? You accuse many people of being a narcissist, but your behavior lately has been textbook narcissism….

According to you my stuff (which has already been waiting for over a year) should wait longer, because you want something done right this minute. You have a temper tantrum when it isn’t getting done on your schedule. Why should MY help even worry about your stuff in all honesty? You most certainly weren’t worried about doing what you got paid to do when I was begging for some of it to be done. How do you even have the audacity to stand on that soap box?

I am addressing my stuff, not out of narcissism, but out of necessity. I am sick of the situation you put me in when I dropped everything to help you and all I got from you was excuses as to why the stuff you got paid to do wasn’t being done. Once you got mad about unloading the animal feed….. I straight up asked if you needed help you said “No I’ve got this” so I went back to what I was doing. Yet, you got mad that I didn’t help unload….. Um gee, if you wanted help you should have not told me you had it.

You also chose to move Kathy up there after seeing how she behaved here…. YOU chose that knowing you had been warned of her behavior, seeing it and knowing you would been dealing with it. Stop griping to me about a choice you made that you were warned would not work out. It hasn’t even been a month yet sheesh. You wanted her up there, you made that choice so please do not gripe to me about things I warned you about. I blocked Kathy and Debi right after the move, so I did not have to listen to either of them. You said it yourself, you pawn Kathy off on Debi so you do not have to listen to Kathy. How would either of them feel if they knew that????

Now, on to another matter…… The rescue….. It cannot keep functioning this way, stuck and stagnating because of the inaction of the members. It cannot function as long as people are pissed over the October  2023 issue either.  I own my own inaction on things. I could have not helped you and worked on getting pictures, videos etc, networking etc, but anytime I asked you begged for help with other things, and I helped as much as I could with those other things. I have been financially supporting 2 dogs you were told not to pick up in the first place, going behind the board’s back and getting them and then forcing the board into accepting them since you had already gotten them.

You also used donations to get personal dogs spayed / neutered. May as well say they are your personals since 4 of the bunch are still in your possession, 3 of which had a chance to be adopted but you went to Arizona to get them back…… Yeah, I still have the 2 older siblings, why though? All of my begging for help to get pictures and videos so we could network them have gone unheard. Rehoming is NOT a priority to you, which is something BT accused you of, as have others….. So, actual adoptable rescue animals have not all been spayed / neutered because $700 in gifts went to the bill for 4 of the dogs currently in your possession…..

I need to move forward with the hopes and dreams I have for my property, hopes and dreams that you do not share. They are not a priority to you or in how you wish to operate Hooks. A rescue cannot operate when the public sees what is actually happening. A rescue cannot function when the board is acting in name only without making an actual effort.

No, I am not blaming anyone for the things I have gone through the last 2 years. It is a result of my own choices. I chose to support someone when I shouldn’t have. I chose to go above and beyond for someone who felt entitled to such help. So, now I have to pick up the pieces of the bad decisions I made and move forward, leaving those bad decisions behind me.

The choices I have made in the last few weeks have been for my own mental health and establishing or reestablishing boundaries that I allowed to be breached. So I 100% own that I am in this situation because of bad decisions, or lack of decisions.

Since I have to play catch up on the things you failed to do, things you got paid for, I will have the helper finish that part of the roof when weather permits and he works it out in his schedule. It is stupid to have him go up there when you do not even have all the materials there ready. It is selfish to even ask him to when the wind is nuts and freezing cold. Not sorry about that either…… Remember, when he comes, he is technically on the clock for ME, him offering to help you is a kindness since I am overwhelmed with what you left undone here that I am working on.

Your own actions lead to your loss of the income you had from my IHSS. Your own actions put me in a position that requires me to get these things handled now. Your own actions put you in the position you are in with Kathy. I warned you about both of them being on the same property. You refused to listen and now want to complain to me about it? You chose to have them both up there after being warned it was a disaster in the making. It is not my job to handle things with Kathy anymore. You chose that responsibility when you allowed her to move up there. You chose it so you deal with it, but do not make me listen to the gripes that you could have avoided had you simply listened.

Now I do have actual important issues to handle, things for someone who actually needs the help handling. I will be making another post about current events and future plans likely later tonight or tomorrow.

Have a blessed day folks and please consider assisting me in getting a few kitties spayed / neutered so they can be adopted!!! See the about me page for those details.

Updates, Images Info and More.......

 

 

This post is an update and a bit of new info….. Make sure to fully understand what has been verified and what I am still working on verifying. The stuff I am still verifying is posted here because I feel Laura has a right to know AND I want to stop rumors in their tracks. By putting it here the world can see it and fully understand that it either has not or cannot be verified.

1.     Debbie Phillips did NOT call animal control on Laura. This has been verified. I have it from the actual source (a text received from an unknown number), a neighbor made that call. So, I will ask folks to stop accusing Debbie since she is innocent in this issue. I have already personally apologized to her and cleared this issue up on the air last night.

2.     A former ranch hand – Jesse – was accused of letting Joe out in spite. I can verify that there is video of where Jesse was the entire day that Joe got out and he was nowhere near Laura’s ranch. I can say beyond a shadow of a doubt Jesse did not do this. The act that it is being said that he did it has many people upset with him and he is 100% innocent. Jesse was over 90 miles away all day that day.

3.     A very poor, grainy video that was sent to me appears to show people on Laura’s ranch not checking the gates after doing rounds on the horses. It also appears to show some gates were left open. Whether those could have been breached is unknown since it is such a poor quality video. IF that is the case, according to the one who called animal control, this is not the first time gates have not been secured and IS the reason they continue to call animal control. Again, let me remind you – poor quality video so it is not easy to tell. I can say it does appear certain gates were not secure but since I do not know her ranch well enough to know if these were gates that could be breached all I can say is some gates were left open the day Joe got out.

4.     I spoke of “unknown number” blowing me up and I have since learned the multiple texts were not all from the same person. I have verified 3 different people texting me from “unknown number” in the last couple of days. I respect their wishes to remain anonymous. One has promised drone footage but I have not received anything yet. One is definitely “stalking” Laura since their video appears to have been taken while parked nearby. The third has lots of accusations but little proof. I can verify none of the three are Debbie though, nor is it Jesse. I reached out to both while texts were being sent and can assure everyone neither of the two were any of the unknown numbers.

5.     I received multiple images that show some disturbing things. I waited for unknown number to detail the context of those images but as of yet nothing has been defined. So, I will explain some of the images and MAYBE someone who was actually present can assist with context.

a.      Image 1 – a coyote on a bed, text messages that appear to be between Laura and someone else (unknown who since that is blocked out)…Unknown number claims Laura “rescued” the coyote as a small pup and keeps it as a pet. I am waiting on Laura to verify or deny this, have not yet had time to make contact with her on this. Since I have never been inside her home I cannot verify this is even her bedroom, all I can verify is the image was sent from her number to whomever she was texting with.

b.     Image 2 – a horse being loaded onto a dump trailer – horse is deceased, text claims it’s a mare. This is one that there is little context on. Please do not make any conclusions on this image since no context was provided it is simple a dead horse being loaded onto a dump trailer. I will update if and when I can clarify this image.

c.     Image 3 shows a similar colored horse to the one being loaded on the dump trailer – again zero context provided. This horse is laying down with projectile diarrhea. Blood is also dripping from the rear of this horse. Again, zero context provided for this image. I will make updates if and when I can clarify this image.

d.     Video of the horse with diarrhea that shows blood flowing from the rear of the horse. Again, zero context provided. All I can say is the images and video were taken at night as if someone snuck in and took them. I will update if and when I can get clarification on this video. Needless to say this video was disgusting and alarming.

e.     Image 4 shows 4 people around a dead horse in a stall type  enclosure. The horse has an orange fly mask on and appears to be laying on a piece of plywood. Image appears to show them preparing to move the body. I do not recognize any of the 4 people in the image – meaning none are Laura or Stina so I cannot even verify this is even her ranch. This image has zero context so I will update if and when I can clarify this image. I can say this is not the same horse in the other images though.

f.      Image 5 is a text that appears to be from Laura to someone named “Dick” asking about a tractor and shows a dark colored dead horse just outside a wooden stall. Again, zero context with this one but the sender claims all of these horses died in less than a month. Again, I cannot verify these claims yet but will make updates as I do clarify things.

g.     Image 6 shows what appears to be the same young coyote that was on the bed carrying a dead turkey away. It is a text conversation that appears to be from Laura to someone else and mentions they will ask “CeCe” what happened. This one is dated October 30 at 2:16 pm though. No context with this one, cannot be sure that it is the same coyote. I will update once I can clarify things.

h.     Image 7 is a text conversation between Laura and “unknown number” in which she appears to admit gates were left open and unsecure. Since the entire conversation is not provided I cannot verify if this is an admission or just her questioning things on how Joe got out. Again, zero context provided with the image. I will post updates when I can clarify things.

 

Another unknown number sent some comments with no supporting proof, just that they supposedly were eyewitnesses to the events mentioned. The two most disturbing comments were that 3 horses and one mule died in less than one month and that heads / legs are cut off the bodies and the rest is fed to her dogs. Now, keep in mind NONE of these came with supporting proof so I remind you this came from an unknown number from someone who obviously has an axe to grind with Laura. The statement about dead animals did not state how the animals passed. So when I can clarify these statements I will post updates.

Another unknown number sent a ton of receipts that appeared to be things Debbie assisted with, that were not sent by Debbie. After speaking with her, she had no clue who sent them or how they obtained copies of said receipts. The receipts showed payments for sponsoring horses, feed for many different types of animals, payment of a water bill for Laura, fencing and many other things. Debbie did clarify that these were all things she had done for Laura but had zero clue who sent them to me.

 

It is very apparent that Laura has more than one “crazy stalker” that wants to make sure people have certain ideas about Laura. I find that when images are sent without context there is more to the story than the person submitting them wishes to admit. This is why I say do not jump to any conclusions about the images mentioned here since I will be working on clarifying things this week. I suspect I know one of her stalkers, but that person is NOT doing the actual stalking they have someone else doing it for them. Since I have images of said person’s vehicle I am gonna see if Laura has seen it around.

For Toni Cici Mason – when I told you to stay in your own lane I meant it. You have zero idea what is going on behind the scenes and had zero right to jump up, pretending to be anonymous, making rude comments without the inside knowledge. Sometimes girl you have to trust the process before jumping up to gripe. Like I said on air, please go back to eating the shit shoveled to you by the self-appointed rescue police you hang with OR wake the hell up and realize they are shoveling you shit with whipped cream and cherries to make it appear legit. I gave up trying to wake you up a long time ago. When you are ready and able to hear truth feel free to contact me directly, until then please bite your tongue before jumping to your own deluded conclusions.

 

Sorry for the literal brain dump but I had to get all of this down since more keeps coming in. As I said on air, rescue is hard work and sometimes the animal does not make it. None of the images of dead animals have any context so PLEASE do not jump to any negative conclusions on them until I can find time to speak with those involved to see if they were even taken at Laura’s ranch. The ONLY thing that can be verified is the multiple unknown numbers CLAIM they are from Laura’s ranch and these people definitely have it out for Laura.

 

Now I need to get things done here today and give my brain some decompression time. WOW, to say this matter is becoming a dumpster fire would be the understatement of the year.

 

Have a blessed day y’all!!!!

Debbie Phillips and Joe the Horse......

 

Ok, this post is a “rant” that I prefer not to post on FB….. 

This is specifically to Debbie Phillips, the gal who claims she loved Joe the Horse….

First, where were you when Joe was suffering the night Scott was busting ass trying to save him???? Where were you when Laura was loading him up, taking him to her rescue and nursing him by hand every hour on the hour???? Ah, that’s right you weren’t around!!!!

Second, Joe was in his forever home when Laura rescued him. That was 100% clear once she spent weeks upon weeks of hand nursing him. YOU made posts and demands wanting him but were also told that Joe was NOT available for adoption. Yet, you kept pursuing it and when you were denied you decided to call animal control on Laura. Yep, YOU did that out of spite because you wanted Joe to exploit him for donations, which is what you accused Laura of doing.

Third, in your long ass post about Joe, after he died, I did not see a single emotion FOR Joe. Your post was all about YOU and comparing yourself to a woman who gives 110% of herself to save horses from abusive homes. Your post had little factual information and tons of false accusations. Gotta love how someone like you thinks they can always do things better than someone else. Not once in that post was it mentioned how Joe was thriving at Laura’s rescue.

Fourth, the absolutely possessiveness in your post….. “Your Joe”, FYI Joe did not, nor had he ever, belonged to you. Joe belonged to the people, not you. Joe was an amazing success story and YES, Laura had every right to “parade him” because the community rallied to save Joe and helped in his recovery. You, on the other hand, are a spiteful, hateful bitch. You made it all about YOU and what YOU lost when Joe never once belonged to you. I had the pleasure of meeting Joe, even took some fly masks to Laura. When Scott made his original post I tagged Laura in it but she had already been notified and was on her way to him. How precisely did Joe belong to you alone hmmm????

Fifth, your post speaks oof things you claim to have done but not once does it mention anything Laura did for Joe. You act like you single handedly saved him when in reality, Laura was the one who did that. You didn’t show up until Joe was in good health. The entire post as a poor pitiful me post to exploit sympathy wrongfully. You accuse Laura of precisely what you are doing. Tell me hun, how much money have you gained from your pity post huh?????

Your post also makes claims about how Joe died, claims that are simply not true. YOU are the problem with society today and the “school yard bully” situation on social media. Take a long, hard look in the mirror before you want to attack Laura again girl. People like me, the quiet ones, support her 110% and have been here for her in ways you can never imagine.

Debbie, please check out my radio show this Friday at 7 pm PST….. I will be discussing YOU and how such behavior is shaping the emotional damage of today’s society.

 

Use this link:

The show will be a tribute show to Joe. It is the least I can do for him and Laura.

 

RIP Joe the Miracle Horse

 

Crazy Stalker Needing Attention......

 

Seems like the crazy stalker is now targeting a friend's FB page since mine is not available. His delusions are showing though!!!! HA - spoke with his brother - who claims that said crazy stalker was diagnosed with "delusions" before he was 20 years old.

Crazy stalker does not seem to care that he HAS been caught on camera, more than once..... That footage, still images and video, has been turned over to the police. The fact that I have near 20 different cameras just on MY place seems to matter little to the crazy stalker.

The FB comments he is leaving have also been turned over to the police. Dude needs a new hobby seriously!!!!

Crazy stalker seems to love me so much he leaves little "gifts" for me that fail to have the effect he thought they would.... Those gifts are also in the hands of the police. And yes, I can 100% prove he is the one who left said "gifts" for me. 

The comments he keeps making on FB are so full of delusions, everyone sees his delusions and disregards him as someone who needs a rubber room with no sharp objects. I am so glad I am not on FB now!!!! I do not have to deal with delusional people like crazy stalker OMFG I truly did not realize just how FB caters to the delusions until my main account was disabled!!!

I feel so much better though that crazy stalker can no longer deny the gifts, or the fact it is HIM stalking me and not the other way around!!! I do not have to prove that on social media, I proved it to the cops. That is what matters. 

I need to go now, busy day. I am installing more cameras today and moving the current ones around a bit. Keeps things interesting when no one knows where the cameras are!!!!

Have a blessed day y'all

Phew! Busy Couple of Months

 

 

So, it has been an interesting couple of months. I am quite sure some people are going out of heir mind because Facebook decided to play games with my main profile again….. I have decided that I am not fussing with them anymore over it. I have had such peace since that happened and due to that I am going to keep my peace.

I also had to make an emergency trip out of state to extract a DV victim who is staying on my property for a while. I am still recovering from that. Thankfully her abuser has not bothered to harass her since she left and came here.

I have been busting ass out here doing clean up, getting rid of some junk left by others, clearing out brush and having fun being outside a lot more. My body hates me for it though, but the inner peace is amazing, and it feels good that I am finally able to do a few things better.

My left wrist still has some issues, but overall, it is doing much better. Each day I am making progress on the healing. I still wear the brace when I am outside because I fear if I fall I could injure it. Each day it gets stronger though and I am working on the fine motor skills.

Our road did not wash out when 247 did. I do have some cool video from the first storm that took 247 out though. It hammered us here but not bad enough to do much. It sucked having 247 closed for so long though. They have been grading 247 like crazy the last few days because we have more rain coming at the end of the week.

But the absolute best thing that has happened in the last month….. I cannot tell precisely since it is a criminal thing and currently in the hands of the DA….. Let’s just say cameras are amazing!!!! FINALLY got proof of a crazy stalker on camera – video and still images!!!! Multiple pieces of evidence in the hands of the cops, charges are pending. I sleep better knowing this person is on camera in full color. The fact that I had to put so many cameras out in order to catch them is ridiculous though. Once the person goes through the legal process I will post the pictures and video for all to see. But, in order to make sure said person’s right to due process is protected I cannot reveal who it is or show the images publicly yet. Since what was caught on camera will result in multiple felony charges this person may not even get a bond. So, I can sigh with relief that this crazy stalker will be out of my hair for good now!! YAY!!!

So, being off that hateful Facebook has been so peaceful lately. I think I will leave the junior high drama queens / kings to their own devices and spend more time actually offline doing my own thing. Not to mention that site does absolutely nothing about the number of scammers and allows them to run paid ads, post scams on marketplace etc…. So, I am over their bullshit for good.

Yes, I have my full back up file. Yes, all of the albums that went poof will be reposted on MY servers on the scammers website when I have some time. Likely, in the winter during the rainy season. Right now I am enjoying outside time while the weather is nice.

Have a blessed day folks!!!

3 Kitties.....

 

Proud to announce 3 of our male kitties are being fixed today!!!

Blue, Tigger and Naughty Nels have been checked in and will be neutered today!!!

Blue is a Russian Blue 10 month old who will be available for adoption once he heals from surgery.

Tigger is a semi feral male about 2 years old who may be available if he tames down some more. 

Naughty Nels is full on feral and not adoptable. I hope being neutered will mellow him out, we will see. If not his furever home will be here. 

I will post pix of the boys later, before surgery and after surgery. 

I want to thank our donors who made it possible to get them donor!!! You know who you are!!!!

If you would like to know how to help with our continued effort for spaying / neutering kitties in our rescue just drop a comment below or see the about me page here.

It has been a blessing to receive out of state support for kitties in our care. It was also a surprise, something I did not expect. 

It seems the harder the self-appointed rescue police lie and try to cause trouble, the more we are blessed. Cannot complain about that, all I can do is thank them!!!! If they had not blasted our rescue online I doubt this round of donations would have happened. Their post caused someone to reach out...... That someone is now a faithful sponsor of any kitties we intake!!! 

Ok, time to prepare for court. For those who don't know, today is Melissa Woodard's hearing over the Arizona issue. This is a hot mess created by Ashley, who is still lying about the dogs we sent to Melissa for boarding. I promise this though, things are not going to work out the way Ashley thinks they will on this matter. We know certain things Ashley has not been privy too, things that will work against her in her lies that the four dogs are hers. Ashley will see today the power of truth. 

Have a blessed day folks and I will update everyone when the boys get home today!!!!
