Missing Stryker this week

[Dusty Britches]

It's been 2 years, come Dec 22 since I lost Stryker and looking back at the TBH threads, photos and videos, I realize how much I really miss him, still. It breaks my heart to think how much he misses me, too.

While Ace has indeed filled his daddy's paw prints, he has not filled the hole in my heart. While life has gone on and for the most part I think about Stryker and the friendship we have, I didn't realize how much I miss him until this time of the year. I think I'll go throw a Dokken in the water for him.

Did anything ever happen to the kid?

Did anything ever happen to the kid?

Should have been strung up right there

[Texastaxi]

I think about both of you, often.

Often times we don't realize how much they become apart of us until they are gone!
Prayers for you!

Did anything ever happen to the kid?

He was charged with class A and given probation, but he failed on that.

They recalled him (Motion to Revoke) MTR - and asked me to testify in May this year.

Judge ripped him apart after my testimony. The DA and Judge asked what I wanted to see happen to the guy. I said that I don't know if jail time was right or probation was right, but it was my sincerest wish that someday he loved something so much that thinking about life without it made it hard to breathe. Then, he would know what he did to me that day and how much pain he caused.

I also added that what ever happened after this day (the testimony) he was at the mercy of the court. I said I finally got to face you, said my peace. I have forgiven, and I'm moving on. You will no longer occupy space in my head or my heart.

The Judge told him that no one in the court room will likely ever see such grace in a human being (referring to me.)

The Judge gave him work release and told him that if he failed, he would lose credit for all time served and would be sentenced to 365 days in county jail. The guy failed to meet the terms of work release and was apprehended 2 weeks ago. (Work release terms - show up at the jail at 6 pm Friday, serve until 6am Monday. Work all week. That's it. 6 months and he'd had it made.)

After the trial, the Judge asked the DA why they didn't charge him with felony animal abuse. The DA smiled and said probably for the same reason you just gave him work release. He seems like a good person at first.

So, as far as I know, he's serving 365 in county.

I think about you and him a lot. It would just tear me apart if some one shot my Lacy dog, Bonnie. She is the best dog I've ever had as I know Styker was to you.
