Morning Thoughts and Coffee......

 

I receive so many calls, texts, messages etc, from people who feel in the middle of this issue with Blaze. They feel they must choose which of us to be friends with, and they really don't have to choose. I am sorry they feel that way.

I know people still want to believe Blaze's heart is truly in rescue. Blaze does talk about it all the time trying his best to convince people it is all he lives for. 

If his heart was in the right place would Blaze subject those poor dogs to crates so small sometimes for days at a time without being out of them? No, it did NOT just happen at Joshua Tree...... The multiple animal control reports I have document back to 2014 of Blaze forcing the animals into those conditions. So, if he truly was in it for the animals then why would he torture them like that???

Since this whole fiasco began in October 2023 I have not heard ONCE a single care for the animals still under our care - the ones Blaze abandoned. I bet the only ones he can even remember names for are Sal & Issa..... Where is the concern for them? Why haven't we heard a peep about how these animals need help to get spayed, neutered and networked to find homes???

Nope. It has been all about "poor pitiful" Blaze and what he is going through. It is never about what he put the animals through.... Nope..... Not one post of his has mentioned the 12 cats....... Not one post has been to help them get spayed, neutered and adopted..... Nope.... It is all about Blaze.

Sadly, this is what Blaze feels rescue is about.

For those us of picking up the pieces it IS and always has been about the animals. It is us financially supporting them. It is us doing the daily care for them. It is us trying to quietly network behind the scenes to find them homes, foster or adopt. We cannot openly do it because BLAZE reports the posts and fundraisers instead of supporting the effort to care for animals he abandoned. 

IF he truly cared about the animals he would NOT interfere with efforts to care for the ones he abandoned in October 2023. But he constantly does. Blaze cannot stand he is not in control of those animals anymore but mostly he cannot stand that he is not in control of the FUNDRAISING - because that is where he interferes the most. 

Blaze reports any efforts we make to fundraise to get the cats spayed & neutered - cats he could not care less about, cats he abandoned in October 2023......

If Blaze truly cared about animals then why the hell can he NOT care about the ones he walked away from TWICE in less than 6 months????

Why can he not care enough to allow us to do right by those animals? They deserve to find good homes instead of being shuffled from one foster to the next while awaiting their spay / neuter surgery.

Nope. Blaze cannot do this because it has never been about the animals for him. It is about him having sole control over everything, mostly the money.......

Let me give you a great example! When the 4 female rescue cats arrived I had no good place to house them except setting up the habitat inside of my large chicken coop. Now, this was a temporary situation since that part of the roof could NOT be properly waterproofed. Although I did make sure the habitats were covered well we had a storm coming in.

Blaze got pissed because I sent the 4 rescue girls to a foster who had a full bedroom available for them, instead of being in a leaky chicken coop. Blaze did not like the person who offered this care so he would rather the cats be subjected to a leaky roof than give them warmth and proper shelter.

Blaze allows his personal issues to interfere with his care of animals. Blaze allowed his personal relationships to nearly destroy the rescue itself. 

If Blaze truly cared for the animals he would have been happy the female cats had proper shelter. Instead, he threw a fit about it because he did not like the person who fostered them. 

I made sure those cats had proper food, shelter and care. I made sure the ones in the chicken coop got housed BEFORE the winter storms moved in. Blaze couldn't even bring himself to help me assemble those habitats...... 

Now the habitats are in the camper he was staying in and the rescue kitties are NOT housed in them..... Not the ones Blaze abandoned....... That camper is being repaired and set up as a cat house, for lack of better words lol. This way no kitty needs to be in a cage :)

So, is Blaze in it for the animals or the glory he gets for pretending to rescue. Again, I would remind folks that Blaze would have NEVER received a single award had those places been aware of the conditions the animals were forced to exist in.......

I do not seek glory or recognition. I want these amazing animals to find the homes they deserve. For me it is that simple. But, Blaze has to interfere every step of the way so does he truly care about the animals or himself????

Blaze tasked the board with saving the rescue. I have not erred in that duty. Now that we are near a formal reopening, Blaze wants to try to interfere more. 

So, is Blaze really in it for the animals????? Or is it that Blaze cannot see the rescue succeed without him???

I am sick of hearing the poor Blaze bullshit. People cannot seem to remember this entire situation is one Blaze created and could easily end if he simply stopped his bullshit. 

Now, I am to the point I want to see a PUBLIC post of him admitting his part in what happened. I want to see him admit to his lies. I want to see him admit he chose not to go back in October 2023 and forced the board to deal with a mess he made.

It is time he openly, publicly and honestly makes a post that acknowledges he created this entire fiasco and he is the one keeping it going with his lies and pity party. Blaze needs to admit he has cared nothing for the animals still under the rescue's care since October 2023 and he needs to admit how he has interfered with fundraising for them.

Unfortunately, this is not in his nature and I feel he will push tomorrow's deadline..... That email draft is ready, names, addresses everything. Screenshots too which show his old board having knowledge of misuse of funds...... 

How could Blaze care about the animals when he doesn't even care about his so-called board members??? He has involved them in fraud, embezzlement and more..... Those are FELONIES. Blaze doesn't care he will take them down with him, as long as Blaze gets the pity he feels he deserves!!!

Is he caring about Jennifer? Nancy? Paula? Mike? While he continues his bullshit? No, this is and always has been about Blaze and what Blaze wants. It has NEVER been about the animals and when the criminal investigation gets his records from his little shadow boards - YES even though you do them via voice they are recorded!!! I would lay money not one conversation has been about the welfare of animals or the animals Blaze abandoned and keeps interfering with their care!!! Nope, those conversations are all about poor, poor, victim Blaze and what everyone is doing to him --- never about what he has done to cause any of it.

So while the legal board continues to care for multiple animals Blaze abandoned, he shit talks us and refuses to comply with the 2 cease and desist letters he was formally issued. 

Blaze has not once had his little shadow board offer to provide food or supplies for the animals he abandoned. NOT ONCE. Does that sound like someone who cares about the animals???

On the other hand, I get SSI a whopping $1,100 or so a month and I do not hesitate to use the pittance I get to make sure those animals have what they need. Unfortunately, I cannot feed them and afford the needed spay / neuter surgeries...... Not on my income :(  But they are well cared for, being trained and ready for the amazing homes they deserve!!!!

At this point with his history with animal control and the pending criminal investigation, Blaze legally cannot be a part of a nonprofit animal rescue and because of the embezzlement he would never be able to be on a board again that has any control over funds. 

Blaze is going to keep pushing the legal board until we make sure he would never be able to be involved in animal rescue again, not even as a volunteer for one!!!!!!!!

If Blaze truly cares about the animals and his shadow board, he has a little more than 24 hours to make that public post and comply with the cease and desist. 

I am done playing his games. I am done with people trying to guilt me into feeling sorry for him. I do not feel sorry for him for a situation he created and refuses to accept responsibility for!!!!

It is his choice now whether to do the right thing or continue being selfish.......
