                 "He finally opened his eyes & I became his human".
                                               "He owned me..."

 
   We had a dog named Murphy   ~  Merf  Merf for short.  ~ She was Bo Bo's mother.  One of my daughters had bought her at, of all places, the Flea Market. She was a tiny little thing!  I held her on the way home.   She crawled up close around my neck, next to my ear, snuggled, and kept saying  merf, merf, merf.  She had a speech problem, but that's the way she always talked.   
 
   She grew swiftly  and was a beautiful honey colored Lhasa.  She loved to ride in the Pink Barbie jeep with the small granddaughters.  She was their constant shadow & companion, all puppies together. I didn't notice her growing so fast.
 
      One day, I was going to do laundry and opened the laundry storage door. 
Ah!...a basket full of clothes, but a basket full of puppies, too!   To say that I was a bit surprised is an understatement!!  Catching my eye was a very, very  special black & white pup.  Ahh,  love at first smell! He was my baby, no chew bones about it, and spent much time in my arms...snuggled. He finally opened his eyes & I became his human.   He owned me.
 
     Merf was very pleased with her efforts.  However we couldn't keep all the babies,  but they definitely were assured good homes  ...the price high...  each and every person astonished when I said they qualified and for them to use all that money on the puppy for shots and care. 
 
     Bo's two snow white sisters, & a brown brother, had special homes with a check back rule. Bo Bo Bear...my baby...stayed with me.  He slept with me.  He would eat the same food as I did,  plus his special expensive lamb diet. He was always constantly under my feet.    He had his place in the car right beside me and he would panic like a child if I left him.


                         




         I had an attention listening problem.  Bo was specially trained, me beside him to help with the small problem.  He did his job well,   &  took it very ~ very seriously.
 

      He was only 7 when, in my opinion, he was killed in revenge for something he, nor I, had control over, or even knew about, until he was gone.  But, before I'm through, the world will know what I believe that this so called Vet truly is. 

 

      He is now under investigation    again    by the   Texas Board of Veterinary Medical Examiners  due to the complaint I have filed.    According to the vast records, Faulkner has been under investigation quite a few times over the past years.    His record, not viewable by the general public, is massive.  I was in a state of shock when I received and reviewed them.   The small summary you are allowed to see on the Board's website tells you little and actually fine sugar coats the findings.  

 

       Apparently, the State Board has not done their job correctly the first time or even the second, etc,   it appears to me that many animals could have been saved from great harm, pain and death.   The Board may do nothing now,  but people  listen. People considering his vet practice may think twice if they had knowledge about his    public complaint record   presenting his true earned reputation.      I personnaly  would have never gone there had I known,  I was putting my baby in certain danger.

 

     It is a life's work for me to expose the public complaint records of negligent vets.  Believe me,   there are apparently many of them.  It is my firmly held and vivid opinion that Faulkner intentionally destroyed a helpless animal.  Perhaps by filing a complaint, that may prevent him from doing it to another.

 

       I believe that he thought he could get by with it and  I would do nothing but cry, "oh what a tangled web we weave when first we practice to deceive" is an old proverb. The Vet a Great Prentender.   I believe I was truly unlucky with a Vet simply because I couldn't  find another, which had basicly something to do with the club and  the good Buddy system of Vets I've learned about. I tried desperately to get him medical professional help, and seemed to be blocked at every turn. I was made fun of, gossiped about "ridiculed,  for being over  protective, (classified as stupid old  woman) etc".

I literally begged for assistance, money was never an issue. My baby's life was.

 

We will keep an update on the activities and findings of The Board this time.

 



        Update of November  17th 2006:   I was served with a lawsuit from David Faulkner's attorneys, referred to as a  Slapp  suit by the legal profession. In my opinion, this is an attempt to scare me into dropping my complaint against him with  the appointed  State of   Texas Vet Medical Board  and to  force  me to dismantle my web site for Bo Bo Bear and remove any reference to his destruction of Bo Bo Bear.  I believe he is trying to  then  force me by intimidation to surrender my government issued  first amendment rights, granted under protection of :

    
       The Constitution of  The United States, of Freedom of Speech
 
in telling my truthful story;  presenting many records of proof,  most not even available for posting until after the Vet Board's decision due to consideration of their efforts. This lawsuit demands that I answer within 20 days or become the victim of a default judgment of which gives them all of their demands.  If these demands are not met, I will be the guest of a prepared  jail  cell with the good company of those also considered criminals.   If I'm there, I will request access to the library computer to keep Bo's web site current.

 

     Only in America are the laws written so that: "Justice is for those who may afford it."    My belief, of this latest event, is that it was intentionally scheduled for the holiday season in order to cause me even more distress and grief than what I have already been through at the hands of one skilled in these tactics.  It is also my belief that upon knowledge of this lawsuit,  the very  powerful  Texas State Vet Medical Board will simply dismiss the case quickly, considering their fear of involvement in civil legal proceedings bringing great attention to their offices and operation methods.


  These events were expected before the web site was designed, I believe it is a repeat pattern for his business methods, the pleadings even read the same as others I have viewed.  However, due to the factor of time elements including  a few others, my filing will be pro se  .......  let the dance begin.

Update 4/5/2007
- Happy Birthday Bo Bo Bear. I am still awaiting a decision from the Vet Board. Hopefully soon.    Please stop by and visit the new web site entry  called     My Opinion / 1st amendment   page  of Bo Bo Bear's website.  Check back for updates.  Thank you for visiting! 



Update 4/20/2007
~
As expected and predicted almost a year ago when Bo's site went up,  I have received a form letter today, exact in wording that the vast majority of complainants receive from the great state of Texas special appointed 

      "Vet Protection" Medical Board  located in Austin, Texas. The Board form letter states that they found nothing in violation of any professional misconduct by David Faulkner, DVM.    I'm sure the huge file of evidence I submitted probably has dust on it.  I was never afforded the luxury of an  interview,  as required by Board rules, or any substantial contact from this Board.   They did curtly answer a few e-mails, some in which I had reminded them that   I had not been contacted or interviewed,  nor had any of my witness's.   The dismissal comes as no surprise to many persons who follow the activities of this make believe protect the public State Office.  

   Please see the    medical records   page of this website for my condenced  statement on the actual finding and happenings of Bo's final destruction,  taken from actual affidavits,  professional opinions, university medical science department research, etc,  submitted to the Board.



Update 7/07/07
  ~ 
  The State Vet Protection Board   has once again boldly dismissed , the  appeal was tossed without further study, and still no real consulting 
of presented facts or a   simple  interview of complainant,  a big violation of their own rules. . . .  My personal opinion :    The Board will never protect the public, until those who are appointed to authority positions   are not vets,   but public members    Until then, it is just an extension of the TVMA, usually the same members in power, who protect the Vet's livelihood, as they refer to it.

      Please see my presented statement before the board on:    
   The Board/A Closer Look,   along with the Board Exposed research,   explaining point by point the way they actually operate proceeding of filed complaints,   a step by step view  using their own practice methods and rules concerning  any submitted complaint, reguardless of charge. Other state and federal animal protection laws seem to be ignored. No knowledge of assistance animals exsist with this Board.  


Update 7/07/07
 ~   It appears as though I may be forced to accept a future heavy judgement rendered against me in the SLAPP suit filed by Faulkner. To defend the truth is financially impossible for Bo Bo Bear's human.   Justice is for those who may afford it, seems to be the rule of America's  legal system.

    Give them love
    Let it shine all around them

    Bless the beasts and the children
    Give them shelter from a storm
    Keep them safe
    Keep them warm
