My Mission

Dog Lover & Proud Pet Parent


Passionate when it comes to my canine companions as well as dogs everywhere, it's my mission to raise awareness of any issues that affect them, from their health, food and nutrition and training to their welfare. Canine advocacy is something that everyone who cares about dogs needs to be aware of and we all need to share that and raise our voice for those who cannot speak for themselves.

For the Love of the Dog is my small effort to do that. Please, won't you help me!

Arrest made in the Starved Dog case from Fort Bliss

This here is Heather O’Kelley, the *friend* of the Fort Bliss family who trusted her with Sadie.   Heather O’Kelley was arrested on charges of animal cruelty on February 3rd.  When these idiots are caught, I can tell you verbatim what they say.  And O’Kelley sung the age, old tune.  “I’m innocent.  Sadie wasn’t my dog.  I never agreed to take care of Sadie.  The owners are pinning the crime on me.”

Whine Whine Whine.

I always get suspicious when people immediately get on camera and swear to the heavens above they did nothing wrong. “I was framed!”  99.9999999 percent of the time, it will bite them in the backside. 

According to O’Kelley, Kate and Danny Snow asked if she could take Sadie but said no way because of all the stuff she had going on back home.  O’Kelley said she left El Paso for the holidays and when she came back, she found a dog that looked like Sadie at her front door. She said the dog didn’t have tags. 

She brought the dog in her house, gave her a little food and water, and called the pound.  Next thing she knows, the cops call her at 8 in the morning and say “Turn yourself in, we have a warrant.”  She states she had no idea it was Sadie.  But coincidentally, it was. 

And of course, it’s all her friends fault.   It’s always someone else’s fault.   The Snow’s say they had nothing to do with Sadie’s abandonment and O’Kelley says they’re pinning the crime on her.  A lot of finger pointing going on here. 

Somebody abandoned this dog to the point of starvation.  And hopefully the guilty party will pay. 

It just doesn’t stop, does it.  People continue to adopt animals without thinking ahead about the real commitment they promise to these animals.  It’s food, water, love, a warm bed, love, medical care, more love, exercise, more love…it’s not rocket science.  You don’t need a PhD to care for an animal. 

Heather O’Kelley thinks the charges against her are “bull”.   Uh…that’s a real clever analysis of the trouble you’re in, Heather.  It’s pretty obvious you fell off the Stupid Tree and hit every branch on the way down. 

Sadie is doing very well.  She’s gained weight and is a happy girl now as you can see.  But she is only one dog out of hundreds of others that are not so lucky.  It’s the ones that belong to the all the others that live in the Stupid Tree.

    Ahh yes, the I didn’t do it. It’s not my responsibility – blah blah blah. I am so glad that she got arrested, now make sure she gets the proper sentencing!

    Little Sadie looks healthy – and her eyes don’t look sad anymore.

    Why can’t we hang this dimwit from the Stupid Tree, and let others see what happens when you neglect a living animal.

    Awww Sadie looks so much happier. Yup, the ol’ “I didn’t do it”, claim. Sick to death of that one. I agree with Susie…hang her from that Stupid Tree! Problem is, there are so many of these dimwits, we would need a whole forest of these trees!

    What happened to innocent until proven guilty? Assuming what these wonderful dog-loving owners say is true, if they had been responsible pet-owners, they would have made certain the person to whom they entrusted the care of their pet was stable.

    From my own experience, I know people wanting to go somewhere or do something will shove pets off onto people who don’t want the responsibility. When I was in college, 3 other guys and I rented a house and one had a dog. As summer approached, the dog-owner started talking about working on an oil rig in the Gulf and leaving his dog with one of us, even though he knew we weren’t fond of the animal because it wasn’t well-trained. Not one of us ever agreed to look after the dog, yet, one afternoon, we got home and found a note telling us how to care for “Amber” (the dog’s name) and that he would see us in August.

    I have a sneaking suspicion something similar happened in this case and Sadie’s owners simply dumped their pet on someone who never agreed to look after her.

  • Jessie

    Awww gee Heather. You sound so put out with all these comments. Why are you on here anyway? As far as your claim regarding your not being stupid, you might be correct. However, you certainly are extremely illiterate! Did you ever have any schooling? Did you ever learn how to write? Personally, I still feel you are full of S*** and in extreme denial regarding sweet Sadie. I also still agree you should go away. If you don’t want to be ridiculed, as you are on this site, stay off of here. Very simple. Bye Bye!
