No Lucy tonight. I'm sorry for taking you all on a roller coaster ride today. I really thought there was no way she'd still be locked up at this point. I was certain I would have happy news to share today. I was wrong.
I got an email from my attorney telling me that the DA has in fact submitted the signed order to the judge, so what we are looking at is not malice, but bureaucratic lethargy, which is actually a much more pernicious problem in America, because it is so prevalent and accepted as the way things have to be done. It isn't.
Lucy will come home though. For now, I'm going to focus on Snuggles.

๐จTwo Dogs Pushed Out Of A Vehicle And Left Behind
DICKSON, TN - Two male dogs were seen being pushed out of a vehicle near Bakers Work Road and White Bluff Road. They were accepted through Animal Control and are now with the Humane Society of Dickson County.
Neither dog is microchipped. One of them was wearing a flea collar.
Anyone who recognizes these boys or has any information is asked to call the Humane Society of Dickson County at 615 446 7387.
Proof of ownership is required to reclaim them. They must also be current on rabies prior to release.
Their 5 day stray hold ends at close of business on June 11, 2026. After that, the shelter will begin the intake process.
#SaveSnuggles
For nearly 8 months, Snuggles has sat in a shelter away from his military veteran family, his mom, his dad, and the two little boys who love him.
If you've been following this case and wondering how to help, this is it.
Please take two minutes to make one phone call or send one email.
Every call matters.
Every email matters.
Every voice matters.
Let's show them the world is watching.

Yesterday ended up being a bit deflating, but I remain hopeful that Lucy will be home soon. My attorney actually told me on Thursday that Lucy may have been released as soon as that afternoon, but as Friday afternoon rolled into evening, I started to realize that they weren't going to let her out until Monday at the earliest.
It feels like they are just trying to twist the knife one last time. They may be the case, but I'm not completely sure. It could just be that government is doing what government does all the time: move at the glacial speed of bureaucracy.
That animal welfare check, however, seemed perfectly timed to send us a message - we may have won this round, but they aren't going to stop.
Using social media to expose their machinations to the light is good, but I plan to start taking concrete, legal steps to stop this bullying on Monday.
The law in this country should not be a tool to advance only the interests of the well-connected.
It's frustrating as we go into this weekend, but I look to Monday for good news.
Meanwhile, #SaveLucy is still trending.
