My sis is getting a mammogram & biopsy right now. I'm very worried, both about what the results may be and how she'll handle it if it's bad.
Praying for good news and strength.
CHICAGO (AP) — A Chicago elementary school teacher is accused of punching his dog to death in a rage after the animal soiled itself and resisted his attempts to get it into a bathtub.
Derek Fierro was charged with aggravated cruelty to animals, a felony. A judge set his bail at $200,000 on Saturday.
Police spokeswoman Laura Kubiak said the man called officers to his home around 3 a.m. Friday and told them they could find the dog's body in the trunk of his car. He was crying when officers arrived and apologized for killing the dog, she said.
The fourth-grade teacher had adopted the yellow Labrador and chow mix in October after it was rescued from an abusive home in Oklahoma. The director of the Chicago Canine Rescue Foundation said she was devastated by the dog's death.
"We would have gladly taken this dog back if he was having any problems," Lisa Klotnia said, adding that the foundation had checked his references and even interviewed him at his home before he took ownership of the dog.
The 25-year-old Fierro teaches at Eugene Field Elementary School in the city's Rogers Park neighborhood. Chicago Public Schools Inspector General James Sullivan said his office will conduct an investigation, which could lead to disciplinary action.
Circuit Court Judge Donald Panarese set bail Saturday and ordered Fierro not to have contact with any animals.
Fierro's attorney, Robert Gevirtz, could not immediately be reached for comment.

That poor dog...
On the lighter side, I cannot breath out of my nose, like at all. So one I sound like Fran(without the annoying accent) & two I sound like a cow when I eat. I almost disgusted myself at lunch. It's not good when you kids are you telling you to keep it down. :giggles:
