I don't even know what to say except that I am furious.
The asshat that I talked about here, and here, is back.
Yesterday I went up to see Peyton with my cousin and discovered little souvenirs that his dog had left around her grave. I didn't have anything on me to clean it up with, so I headed back up there early this morning with bags in tow. What I found broke my heart. There was enough dog waste around Peyton's little grave to fill three plastic doggie pickup bags.
I looked around at the other graves and found nothing. It's like he walked it over to her spot and placed it himself.
What kind of a person can do something like that to a little baby's grave? As you all know, I have already gone to the police. I don't know where else to turn because they can't have someone stationed there 24/7.
I really don't need this...
Ridiculous!!! This makes me sooo angry for you. Can you contact the officer that helped you last time??
I am so sorry. That is just awful!
I cant believe the nerve of that guy! seriously! After already being talked to by officer B and being fined for not registering his dogs he is still coming back! I would def get officer B on the phone again. Take photos of the evidence. It certainly wouldnt hurt to start a file and a log of all his incidents. I am so mad for you and hope this comes to an end soon.
That is so awful! Do you think he is doing it on purpose now because you turned him into the police before? Call the officer woman back again!!! Hoping they can stop him. He has no idea how hurtful this must be!
Take pictures and go to a local news station. Get copies of the police reports and have them do a report. Maybe then the asshat will be embarrassed into staying away.
I'm so sorry it's happening again.
One can only shake their head when they encounter such unbelievable inconsideration. We live in a world filled with rabid animals walking around in human bodies. They have no idea what they do. I'm so sorry sweet friend.
Yesterday I went for a walk in the Gully that houses my babies ashes. I found men with chainsaws cutting down many of the ancient pines. I couldn't breathe. They were destroying my sacred place. Destroying the gully. And...they had the law on their side.
My heart is broken.
That really stinks! I am so sorry! What about the staff at the cemetery? Have/Can you talk(ed) to them, is there anything they can do? What about animal control, maybe if he can't follow the laws regarding dogs in your area, he shouldn't have them.
I would make it a point to call the cops again...and if you want to take it that far, start to document (maybe photograph) all of his misdeeds and bring them to the police...there has got to be SOMETHING that can be done!
Oh Kristin I am so sorry you definately don't need this right now. That is just so wrong. I am so mad right now, I can't believe that guy! That is such a sacred place, dogs are not allowed, what nerve.
Sending you a big ((hug)).
Oh no. Like Sara, when I saw the title of your post I just knew that it would be this beastly, horrible man again.
I'm so sorry. I wish that everyone here in blog land could somehow be transported over to you, so we could all go and find this man and give him a good talking to. He really needs one. x
Sucks! So sorry!
De-lurking here...I've been reading for about a month...*waving*
I'd be beyond ticked if a dog (and his idiot owner) were doing such a sacrilege to my own daughter's grave.
I think the dog repellant or a nice gentle dog laxative (ask a vet?) in some treats is an idea--let him deal with that once he gets home. Something that makes the whole visit to that area less appealing. And it's sad the dogs get caught in the middle of this when the problem is obviously this guy. He has no respect and no decency and I don't think there's much that can be done to get through to such people.
I'm so sorry you have to deal with this. ((HUGS))
That's terrible!!! *hugs* :o(
What a jerk! I'm so sorry this has happened again! I agree with the other readers, take pictures of Peyton's grave, and then take pictures of the other graves that were not touched. Show intention in those pictures. Then call the police to lodge another complaint, and call the local news station. Log everything! Have you talked to the cemetery owners, maybe have them enforce a law of no pets on the grounds?
I hope you find peace in this soon. You sure don't need this.....
I'm so angry on your behalf! You've had some great suggestions on dealing with this creep. I know I'm an ocean away,but I'm right there with you in spirit supporting you.
Love Jeanette
I came across your blog through Maya and Bobbies mom ...
I just want to first say how sorry I am for your loss...
Peyton is a beautiful baby girl ... a beautiful Angel.
I lost my son at 31 weeks gestation. He was stillborn... and even though we have a baby now, the pain I feel from losing him is still real and still sharp!
I hope for nothing but good things to come your way .. you are a strong woman and deserve peace...
now, about Peytons little visitor!? Is she buried at a mortuary graveyard? see if they have cameras? I also read that this is not the first time and that you have had an officer of the law help you in the past .. I would see if they can get involved again. This man and his dog can be considered vandals.... you paid for Peytons resting place and even still, a resting place should be treated with respect.
I know in UT (where I used to live) if anyone even removed the flowers or decorations you put on the grave (even if the flowers had wilted), that was considered "defacement of property" and they could be fined .. up to inprisonment ....
I hope that this person and their dog stop! that is cruel and discusting! who takes their dog for a walk over a graveyard anyways?
I'm aghast Kristin and so angry. I can't even write what I want to tell you to do right now I'm so mad.
I am left wondering if this grave is private property. If it is, I'd have a field day. This rat-bastard should be penalized to the full extent of the law. I feel bad for the dogs-- this is not their fault. This is the fault of an irresponsible, arrogant, d-bag owner. I walk dogs and would never allow any of them to take a leak or poo on, or near, anyone's grave.
I'm so glad you have Officer B on your side. Consult with the property owners as well and see what they have to say about this. I can't imagine that they'd take kindly to this behavior. I'd also see if anyone else has complained about this dog owner. Maybe a few more people on your side will repel the inconsiderate buffoon.
Have we run out of space for our dogs to relieve themselves? Really?
That is so horrible!
I can't believe that the cemetery doesn't have some type of security. the cemetery where Lukas is doesn't have official security but there is someone that drives around in a van. He drives around several time when we are there. Maybe if there is some sort of presence it may prefent it.
I am soo sorry. I am at a loss for words. I'd like to give this guy a peice of my mind, and a stiff kick in the you know what. (((hugs)))
NOOOO! This makes me furious!! How can he let his dogs do this!? This man has NO shame.
