Sad news - my heart is breaking

[MsTattersall]

Moonmyyst, I hope you can get the proof you need to prove that your 
neighbor did this terrible thing. In many states animal cruelty is a 
felony offense--it *should* be in *all* states--and even if it is not 
in yours, you should press charges to the fullest extent of the law. 
Even if the worst charges you can file are "malicious destruction of 
property," because your dogs are registered show dogs, you are better 
prepared than most to prove in court that the loss of this dog caused 
you X dollars in actual value and potential earnings. 

No amount of money will bring your sweet Ghostie back, but if a 
person will kill a dog minding its business in its own yard, they'll 
harm or even kill another human being, even a child. If you can't get 
the goods on this creep, please consider moving, because he (and I 
say "he" because most animal abusers are men) will do it again.

Pet lovers understand: I certainly do. Grief recovery experts tell us 
that the loss of a pet that is a constant companion can be just as 
devastating as the loss of a human loved one. You have my sincerest 
sympathy and support.

my precious Ghostie today.  For those of you who do not know, I raise 
and show sheltie.  Ghostie was my very first show dog.  She is only 2 
years old.  Though I am working on trying to get the info together to 
prove it, I know that my neighbor poisoned her.  I almost lost my 
agility dog, Blue.  He is still at the emergency vet.  They were in 
their own back yard inside of a 6 foot tall privacy fence.  Luckily 
the other dogs did not get any.  She was my precious diva.  So 
loving.  So sweet.  I miss her so very badly.  She was my baby.  This 
on top of loosing my dad this past christmas (though I know that you 
cannot compare your dad to a dog but I still loved her almost as much 
as my own kids).  I don't think I can stand any more pain.
