Sad news - update

[K G]

I have been very comforted by the huge number of e-mails that I have received.  It only strengthens my belief that you must be special people.   Thank you all.
 
I have delivered Ghostie's body to the vet's office and they are sending her off to Univ of Ga for a full autopsy.   I also have the blood - pre-treatment - from Blue that will be sent also.  They did not keep his stomach contents.   The results will be sent to me and to the head of our animal control.  Tracy and I have a great relationship (I used to be a senior trainer for Petsmart and I would work with them on problem dogs and give them free classes).  I had a long talk with her this morning and she is going to do everything she can.
 
I have had a history of bad blood between me and these particular neighbors.  They have been harrassing us for the last couple of years.  I have tried to ignore it as much as possible, hoping that they would get tired and stop.  The last few months it has escalated.  I never thought that it would come to this.  In a way I am hoping that it comes back as something else, then at least, my other dogs would be safe and I can fix what ever it was.  I just have a very bad feeling.  I did a search of my back yard and I did find a gallon size zip lock back that looked either worn or chewed.  It has some brownish gooey stuff in there.  I do not use zip lock bags that size so I know it is not mine.  I do not know if it is related or just some trash that innocently blew into the yard but I have saved it and told Tracy about it.  No dead animals, snakes, bones, holes, etc.  My dogs do not eat dead animals or kill live ones.  They will stand and bark their heads off at it, reach out and paw at
 it, etc. but will not eat it.  I would expect a bite before I would poisoning from it and Blue was checked for bites at both vet offices.
 
Blue is at my vet from the emergency vet.  The are great there and one of my former co-trainers works there so Blue is with someone that he knows well.
 
When I found them, Ghostie was already dead.  Blue was paralized from the waiste back and was having severe siezures from the waiste forward even though he was struggling to get to me.  His jaws were locked shut and did not even whimper (even though he is the mouth of the south).  His eyes were dialated.  I saw no vomit or blood but I did see a good bit of light colored diarreha.  When I took him to my vet, after I picked him up from the emergency vet, he could walk - barely - and was still having small siezures.  
 
I will let you guys know when I find out something else.
