(has has a breathalyzer built in his car from his previous DUI btw) the chief of police did not meet with my family today as promised and his reasoning being “the stress of this situation has made him sick” as if my sister isn’t breathing via a machine right now.
received special treatment while my sister is fighting for her life. they did a field sobriety test on my unconscious sister & her boyfriend but not on the officer who hit them. they state he used his right to refuse a breathalyzer & did not arrest him on a DUI
witnesses at the scene stayed to record the proof of the intoxicated officer. the springfield police department, sangamon county police department, and state troopers still refuse to answer any of my family at this time to as why the officer
my sister chelsey & her boyfriend were hit on their motorcycle by a drunk off duty cop in my hometown of springfield illinois. the cops at the scene turned off their body cams and fed the drunk officer water and gum to sober him up for 6+ hours & only gave him a traffic ticket
I got my dog when I was just 19 years old and a single mother of 1.
I kept my dog.
I kept my dog even though I moved into an apartment and had to pay a $500 pet fee.
I kept my dog when my boyfriend and I broke up and he kept the apartment even though my new place didn't allow dogs.
I kept my dog when I ultimately had to move back in with my parents and she also was not allowed there.
I kept my dog when I had my second child. I kept my dog when his father put all of us through hell and none of us had anywhere to go.
I kept my dog when I had a penny to my name and we all ate nothing but buttered noodles for dinner.
Ten years later I STILL have my dog because she is the very start of the huge family that we now have.
Even though she's getting slow, eating less and turning grey I STILL HAVE MY DOG. I'm tired of hearing and reading about posts that say "getting rid of them because they don't love my new puppy" or "I want a new dog".
Commitment is commitment.
