hello all...we are finally home..safely...it was a 1-16 hour trip for us..and
Submitted by Anonymous on April 20, 2010 - 5:25pm
we did run into some tornatic weather..which slowed us down ...but are fine in health..heavy in heart....
to start off..Cody in in ER tonight....and will have a vet with him throughout the night...
he rode beautifully for over 10 hours
(just with us ..added to several hours with Deb and Cole..)..but the last hour started having breathing difficulties..so we took him to the vet as soon a we could get there...Cody's main concern at this very minute(and he has plenty of them as I am sure you all know by now..heavy sad sigh*),but his main concern is his lungs are full of fluid...and he is having difficulties breathing...I will call the vet in the morning and post immediately what I find out....
....I am indeed tired...but would like to say and ask a few things...when I saw Cody 3 months ago he was indeed in bad shape, it is so much worse now...tomorrow I will also post some pictures.. his ears,eyes,nose,lump on throat,lungs,belly sores...under the chin..yeast infections toes..and I believe the ears...face wrinkles..etc...are dispecible...
..when I talk to Kristae it was "me" who suggested that ..she not take Cody...her heart was in the right place..but the reality is ...Cody will need a very special home...he may hvae sight loss..he may have hearing loss...he may need surgeries and on and on....Kristae ....I am sorry your heart had to leave broken ..and your arms with out Cody...
...I see alot of title comments about taking the owner...down...if that stops one more heartbeat from ever exisiting in the helllish life that Cody has been ..then anything I can do...I will.
....my main concern at this very second is Cody his health and what happens next to him....I did mention the possiblity of a rescue to Kristae..or if someone on the board who has the experience to deal with all the Luggage Cody may have..can give him a home...and we could do another railroad to deliver...I don't have a clue what I should do next as to assuring him a home and heart of his own..and I hope to get some help with that from you all...Cody does indeeed belong to us all ...so my first step is to ..start medical treatment...(and yes the vet is documenting all she sees on sweet Cody's body..)but he needs treatment NOW...I wish I could keep him....,I can hardly bear to be away from him..and I am not the only who made the journey who feels that way...( I have the 5 limit here...He is an absolute love very laid back ..and gentle......his nuzzles ,with all his hurts ...torn my heart out...and at the same time fed my soul to know that I made him a promise to find him a life of joy...and so I need to figure out the next step in keeping that promise...
it's 1:00 am here..and I am so very tired...so I am going to sign off..and try and catch up on the jest of the posts in the morning...
before I go ..I want you all to know...all of the wonderful caring folks here took Cody to heart..and in a flash gave him a miracle...I thought, as did you all .and those of us on the trip today , he would be picked up ..and his miracle would be a life of health and happies.and belonging here with us all......well I still say we have our miracle...only instead of it being over..we are merely in the middle of it..and I need to find away to see it through...
...tonights a very imporatant and dangerous night for Cody ...prayers and love please...my gratitude to all..and blessings...ce
Very good point
As soon as I saw Cody's eyes, I sent more money to Ce via paypal to start to cover the meds he will need right off the bat. Now that he's at the ER vet, I can just imagine how much it will be, but he will be worked up quickly which is what he needs. No matter what, Ce will have the vet bill that will need to be paid. If you go back 4-5 pages Jacob has a thread that tells you how to send money via paypal.
Vet Fund
Please post if you need and want a fund for Cody's vet expenses. I wanted to contribute to the purchase of Cody but the amounts had already been raised. Please let us know when and where to send $$ for vet care.
I'm glad you made it alright...however
i do think that the former owner (#$%!^) needs to be contacted.
He needs to know that "his vet" will be contacted about the so called "health certificate" as it is a joke and Cody has a TUMOR...and is a medical mess that proves neglect and abuse. He needs to be told that Cody is evaluated by another vet and that we will have a written statement as well as pics.
I want to know what he has to say about all this.
I want his vets name, or the city or anything, so i can find it.
Now more so then EVER i cannot stomach that guy just getting away with a 1000!!!!! dollars and laughing his @$% off at us, while Cody is fighting for his life.
I have a bad feeling that he will just get away with it, and i cannot stomach that either. That is so wrong, to pay someone a fortune for having tortured a dog almost to death, through abuse and neglect.
I know top priority is to get Cody well, but think.....all the others there, probably the same or even worse off...with noone to hold them or no vet to work on them.
And the breeder laughing in glee, prolly on a shopping spree.
I do feel sick to my stomach thinking about it.
He needs to be confronted. I don't think at this point that it will hurt further investigations, to let him know what a despicable pig he is, and to ask him, which vet in his right mind would have said that this dog was "ok" and that all this WILL BE investigated!
That #!#^ should not for another minute bask in his glee.
I know i said it would be smart to wait, but to often those people get away, and something needs to be said/done. I want to know what he has to say about this. I even dreamed about all this, I'm so hopelessly mad, and i cannot forget about the other dogs there...

Glad you are home safe and sound
Poor dog. I can only guess what problems are causing his lungs to fill up with fluid. We need to put this breeder out of the bulldog business and let the others escape this horror.
Count us in for the long haul
Just say what is needed and your needs will be met whether you need to vent or just a long distance hug or a atta girl way to go or donations. You will have it on the board from all of us who care about Cody and those who have gone to rescue him.
Cody now know that there is love and caring out there. Aren't bullies wonderful regardless of the care they have been given or not or abuse they are still willing and wanting love.
THANKS AGAIN FOR ALL YOUR HELP
Let us know what you need regardless of where Cody winds up he is always attached to us
Welcome home!
Whew! ... I was getting kinda worried! Get some rest and you can catch up on things here tomorrow.
Hugs.
Re: thanks ya'all....
Ce--love you and the bullies and everything that we've done..may god bless us everyone.
thanks ya'all....
I really need to go to bed..but just can seem to leave ..it's like being here..brings me closer to Cody..because there is so much love for him here and I know these hours for him a crucial...
want to hear something that really added to his stealing my heart?he talks just like Mojo...and at one point when I was nuzzling him..he looked me in the face and said Hell-oooo growl just exactly like MoJo does even the same voice...it cracked hubby and I up...
..and if some feel negative about this... that's fine...but ...for me it's about Cody and what next to bring him health and happies..not about anyone who is welcome to their own opinion...but can just as easily ignore the Cody posts...life is too cherished and every second too valued to soak up any negatives ....thanks again all..ce
well I'm still up...smile
hubby would keep him in a heartbeat..he never took his eyes and when possible his arms and face hugs off Cody...it's that we can only have 5 dogs here..and also our two Greys are very ill...pacer is going blind..and not coping with it well..and Church has heart faliure...
I also would take Cody ...he's a love..yes he mostly will need lots of medical care..and patience...and time..etc..but his little soul and spirit are becons of perfection and love that will not be denied..one minute with him..and he owns your heart...thanks ..and hugs...ce
Thank you for checking in before you go to bed...
Wow - Im just in tears reading what has happened to poor Cody... I will be losing sleep tonight hoping and praying he makes it through the nite.
I just cant beleive some Jerk would put him through this, this is absolute cruelty and he needs to be reported and you should get the money back to put into vet bills - I can't even beleive he charged that price for him especially in this condition....
Oh Gosh Ce - I dont know what to say...If we all pitch in for vet bills are u sure hubby won't let YOU keep him!!!!
Keep us posted.
We're with you in spirit...
Please be assured that most of us, (except for a few whose hearts are three sizes too small), support you in your effort to rescue this sweet bullie. Please let us know what is happening to you and to Cody as events occur.
I think that it is important that we do something to keep this from happening again, but I really don't know what steps to take. For now, I will light a candle for this poor bulldog and for you and all the others who helped in the effort.
We're with you in spirit, and in other ways as well.
Cody
I am just saying a prayer now for everyone.
Ce... Thank God for you and all who have participated so far...
...in Cody's rescue from hell.. First off.. Everyone here is happy you are all home safe and sound. Great idea in taking Cody to the ER vet tonight. I couldn't help but be overwhelmed and teary when reading about all you guys' trips today.. ..you guys are all so awesome!!
Whoever gets Cody eventually will have a pup who has at least 200 owners!! ..and is loved by all.
Ce.. please let us know whatever is needed to help with the ER vet expenses. Those who want to help CAN.. ..and those who don't want to don't have to and can keep their mouths shut!!!
