CH Dagmar's Palo Pinto Duncan
Oct 02, 1999 - Aug 08, 2005


On Friday (8/5/05) during an inspection of the yard, we discovered what was obviously dog vomit. In the vomit appeared to be a rawhide, but we don't give the dogs raw hides. Further inspection proved it to be a piece of lunch meat wrapped around RAT POISON. This sample has been sent to A & M for further analyzing but it was also dipped in ANTI-FREEZE as confirmed by the vets. The police and animal cruelty are now involved.

So this brings us back to 4 months prior when Trooper died.  

Someone did this vile and cruel deed to our family which will never be the same.

We and the police still do not know whether this was a heartless prank or someone with more serious intentions of harm to our home & family.

However, In Texas YOU AS A HOMEOWNER (effective Sept 1, 2004) have the right to request that any sub-contractor or contractor used for the purpose of building or adding to your home have a criminal history check on any employees that will be working in the interior of your home.  MORE INFO:  Link to the law can be found here Texas Health & Safety Info  or read this PDF from the link Title 9 Safety Code
