Heidi's Law Update

From Lynette's FB Sunday, Jan 22
For those of you who live in the Washington, DC area Senator Young was interviewed by Fox 5 News and then they came to my house and interviewed me so it will be on the 10:00 pm news tonight. Please pray that this bill passes.

Hank and Molly bond

Just wanted to add another note from FB: "She was born not being able to walk on her hind legs - she had spinal surgery in September but it can take as long as 14 months before we will know if she can walk or not."

Now Molly is really mad - we have to tie down her backside so she doesn't keep trying to lift it to walk and please make note of Molly's high fashion boots so her pads do not bleed.

It is so amazing - Molly and Hank are really becoming good friends and love to play together - Hank hates it when Molly has to stay in her cart.

Molly and Hank playing - what a good time they are starting to have together!

Heidi's Law!

Please see the posts from Lynette and friends regarding Heidi. From the $7500 reward for info that leads to the killer, the legislation pending regarding Animal Abuse Registery "Heidi's Law", to local pizza shop putting reward flyers on their delivery boxes! It's not all here, so much more on FaceBook. May be time to sign up!

Lynette: Went to Annapolis, MD today with my friend Kathleen Doyle to meet with Maryland State Senator Ron Young. What a wonderful man. The Animal Abuser Registry bill will be introduced next week and then I will be asking everyone for help in contacting the committee that will pass it on for a vote. The best part - it will be called Heidi's Law!!

Lynette: The owner from James Gang Pizza in Middletown called me today and asked if I could print off reward signs and he would put them on all his take out pizza boxes - everyone please say a blessing for this wonderful man. I took 200 to him tonight and he gave me a hug and said how sorry he was. What a blessing!.


New Facebook Page - Justice for Heidi: We launched a new page for Heidi. The old group will remain in use, but updates and new information will be posted to the page. Please "like" it and share widely.
Justice for Heidi

On 1/4/12, Heidi, a 7 month old female golden retriever was fatally shot 4 times by a small caliber hand gun while she romped and played on her own farm land not 300 yards from her house. This was not a hunting accident. It was a deliberate and calculated act of violence against an unsuspecting, innocent, non-threatening creature of God. Please help us find Heidi's killer ... if you have any information that can identify this person, please contact Frederick County Animal Control at 301-600-1544 or Frederick County Sheriff's Department at 301-600-1046.

As of 1/18/12, the reward for information leading to the arrest and conviction of Heidi's killer is over $7,500! Thanks to Goldheart Golden Retriever Rescue, their underwriting associates, and many, many of you for your private and corporate donations to this cause.

You can't find peace till you have all the pieces...please help us as we seek justice for Heidi...

Molly: Good stuff

She's looking so big! and healthy!

Molly in her new loaner cart - she is having a harder time with it but it is a much better fit.

 

Molly loves Chocolate the donkey but the cart scares him to death. Molly keeps trying to reach him and he keeps running!



Molly's sissy - Heidi. Let's find who killed her.

From Lynette's Facebook post:

I am asking everyone that believes in the power of prayer to please take a moment at noon tomorrow, 1/18/2012, and ask that the authorities be led to Heidi's killer. I do not want this person to ever get the chance to hurt another animal or even possibly a human. Tomorrow will be 2 weeks since this nightmare started. Thank you.

Finding Heidi's Killer

From Lynette's FB:

1/11/12: We received permission from Animal Control to have a search party on and near my property. We will do it on January 21, 2012 at 10:00 am and the goal is to have metal detectors to try and find the other 2 bullets and 4 casings. A good friend of mine is going to go to different places to see if they will loan us metal detectors. We will work in groups. Please let me know if you are free to help as we need to get some idea of how to lay out the area.

1/12/12: The metal detecting search for evidence for Heidi has been moved up to this Saturday, January 14, 2012 at 9:00 am - so far we have 6 metal detecting devices and hopefully we will have more. If anyone has one they could loan for the day that would be great. Please let me know if you are planning on coming so we can coordinate how to work this. Thank you.

We need some smiles - this will bring happy tears. Molly in her cart!

This says soooooooooooooooo much. You go, precious little girl. We all love you so much.
Thank you, Melissa B for taking this video and adding the most moving music! Get me the tissues again!
Molly's Journey

Lynette and Heidi at GoldHeart Annual Picnic this year

Below are additional posts re: Heidi below. So many people are offering support to Lynette thru Facebook, I'm unable to keep up with everything BUT the big news is:


Humane Society of US is posting a $2500 reward, Goldheart is collecting from donors as far away as GA, AND Luis Carlos Montalvan, author of "Until Tuesday" is matching the HSUS donation! 

The person(s) need to be found a pay for this sick act of inhumanity.

If anyone sees anything I miss or mess, please let me know. I want this blog to be accurate and helpful..

They have leads on Heidi's killer!

Here is yet another news clip on Molly's sissy, Heidi. In the clip is video of Molly scooting around in her cart - that Heidi helped encourage her to do. This is just so sad.

The only comfort is hoping they catch this sicko now! If they can shoot an innocent, little  happy-go-lucky, loving-life puppy, who knows what they could do if provoked or angered or even with road rage.

Pray of safety for Lynette, her family and pets.

Molly's 'sissy', Heidi found shot to death

This is not a direct Molly update but I do feel we need to share what happened yesterday, Wed, Jan 4 on Lynette's farm in Middletown, Md. Heidi, Lynette's seven-month old golden puppy was missing. When they finally found her little body, she had been shot three times.

Below are links to various press, as well as a link to GoldHeart Golden Retriever Rescue who has set up a reward fund to encourage anyone who knows anything to step forward and report it to the police.

There is nothing more innocent than a precious puppy. This was truly evil.

Status update

Lynette's update:

Hooray - Molly got her stitches out today! The discouraging news is she lost the flexion in her legs we gained before the tail had to be amputated - but I am trying to stay positive. She will start physical therapy next Wednesday so please keep praying for a miracle for Molly.

You bet we will, Lynette! Thank you for all you do for that precious pup! She would not have had any chance if it were not for you! Bless you, bless you, bless you!
