redditBut the homeowner ended up being an innocent victim and she is upset with how police treated her dogs.
“They pulled me out and threw me to the rocks and handcuffed me,” said Shirley.
Shirley is talking about what happened to her last Thursday at her southeast Kansas City home where she takes in unwanted dogs and tries to find them loving homes. She said she has been doing this for 30 years. But police said, unbeknownst to Shirley, one of her volunteers was stealing dog food and other items from Target and storing the items at her house.
“All of the items she’s been taking over there have been stolen from Target,” said Kansas City Police spokesman Darrin Snapp. “And she’s pretty much given us a full blown statement that she’s been doing it for awhile.”
Police so far have recovered more than $300,000 worth of goods stolen from the Target on Ward Parkway and they have arrested eight people in the theft ring.
Shirley wishes the officers had called ahead of time instead of just crashing through her gate and used a stun gun some of her dogs.
“I heard two big blasts and I swung open the front door and a black and white spotted dog was screaming,” she said. “This could’ve been solved with a 15-minute conversation. And they were more than welcome into my house.”
“With the driveway being a ways away from the house, you never want to give the residents too much time to get rid of any evidence on the property,” Snapp said.
Shirley said because of the broken gate she has had to take 17 of her dogs for adoption to Pet Connection temporarily until she can raise the money to get it fixed.
“It’s been quite traumatic,” she said. “I’ve been very upset about my dogs.”
Persons wanting to help Shirley get her gate fixed can contact her via Pet Connection, 5918 Broadmoor St., Mission, Kan., 66202 (913-671-7387).
Investigators are still putting all the evidence together in the property theft case and expect to file charges possibly later this week.
Ok now that you have read the artical i pulled of yahoo news for kctv 5 I have questions..
1) if the lady is inocent why is’nt the police department paying for the damage to her fence?
2) why was a dog tazerd? why was animal control not there to take care of the dogs?
I hate it when things like this happen. If a couple of offercer in unmarked cars and not in uniforme had come to the door to speak to the lady all of this could have been avoided. what jackasses..
Stargate fans
I tried to watch the new stargate show SU but i just cant get into it. I will admit it was one show and only part of one. I could still be mad about the CLX of Atlantis. Any way how are the rest of you doing/liking the new show SU?
So far in the new year
On January 30 it was announced i am to be a great aunt.. yeah…!! I am so happy i am hopping for a girl to spoil.lol.. My nephew and his wife are do in September. That’s the great news so far this year.
The rest of the year has been the same old go to work go home and every other weekend play cards with my sis family. We like pitch and a game called Hand and Foot.
A male friend has asked me to fly out east to see him It is now just a matter of finding a time to go. He was in South America last week. Chicago this week. So its hard to know when to fly out. I have mixed feeling about him and what his feelings are towerd me. If I knew what he wanted out of our relationship may be i could let go of my self and find out how i really feel. Ho well such is life is it not.
Any way thats whats going on so far in the new year.

My Thanksgiving Day
Well Thanks giving seemed to have gone off quite will if i do say so my self. Mom and Ken (one of my older brothers) came down from St. Jo. My mom said she had a good time. I was very happy to here that. She can be so hard to please. My brother Ken was on his good behavior no fights. The only tense moment i was told is when Dave my younger brother walked by my Nice’s dog and he acted like he would bit. For some reason he has issues with canes. Dave uses a cane. My mom got real up set over the whole thing.
I my self had to go to work at 4pm that day. The lady who was suppose to work had to have some outpatient surgery done. I think i will call her when i get off work and see how she is.
Any way the point is no fights, no arguing every one behaved them selves and was able to hold their tough if something bothered them. Yeah….

I’ve been playing games in facebook for a while now and not keeping up with my post here. Not a lot has gone one lately any way. I did how ever go to Ceder Rapids Iowa for the weekend. I spent time with my oldest brothers family. My sister Chris, her son Mike and his wife went as well. We all had a really nice time. We walked up and down the streets of Amana. Its a German settlement that still holds the old look to it. We also had a nice turkey dinner, played games and had good family time.
I would not tried the weekend for anything. My youngest brother stayed home to care for my cats. He was feeling lefts out. I believe we are planning to take him up in the spring. Its hard to have a really nice time when too many are present. Its sad but true at least in our case.
One of the games we played was called Loaded Questions, Sequence and Hand and Foot. We played Hand and Foot the longest. These where all fun games so check them out if you like family game time.
