Soft Kitty
Anyone out there a fan of the Big Bang Theory?
If you are the you know when Sheldon gets sick he has to have someone (usually Penny) sing “Soft Kitty” to him.
Where is this going you ask?
Well the other night the rerun I was watching had Penny turning the tables and asking Sheldon to sing to her. I like the little ditty so I was singing along.
All of a sudden there was a thud as Rocky jumped down from the top of the wardrobe. He raced around the chair and sat down at my feet and stared. At first I didn’t make the connection. (Stupid Human)
The song ended and Rocky started to walk away. As he turned his back I started singing Soft Kitty again. He turned right back around. He lifted a paw up and gently tapped my knee. So cute.
So I sang it again. This time he hopped up on the arm of my chair, stretched out on his side and stared at me the whole time I was singing. If I stopped his tail started whipping around like he was very angry. He was fascinated by that song.
I tried it again last night. Same reaction. He just loves that song! He even looks like he’s smiling.
Other songs don’t get his attention like that! Soft Kitty, warm kitty , little ball of fur….Happy kitty, sleepy kitty , purr, purr , purr.
More Beau
For those of you who have not followed Beau on the Facebook page. Here is the latest update. Good news!
TEAM BEAU: Legal Update
WE HAVE HEARINGS!!
Bryan Mauldin has updated us for the legal team. Most importantly- we have hearing dates and are moving forward.
There are two hearings set up with motions pending in both City Court (with Judge Dedmon) and Circuit Court (with Judge Moore).
The City Court hearing is first on TUESDAY JANUARY 27th at 4:00 p.m. This hearing is asking Judge Dedmon to set aside and vacate his trial court order, declare the ordinance void and FREE BEAU. This motion goes straight to the main issue in the case and took awhile for the legal team to have proper jurisdiction and basis to file.
The Circuit Court pleading is the response to a motion filed by the city for a CASH BOND of $7,500 to secure the costs of Beau’s boarding ($12 a day) during the appeal we were granted. Legal feels that the motions was simply intended to prolong the litigation and hopefully bleed us dry so we would lose or quit. That is the purpose of the second Go Fund Me just in case this ridiculously high bond had to be posted.
However, legal is happy they filed it because it opened the door to simultaneous jurisdiction in the Circuit Court and the reasons they are not entitled to bond goes to the heart of the case. NO bond because Beau is being held unlawfully because the Ordinance is void. This allowed legal to file a response that argues the central issue in the case and puts the ordinance in front of this court. The CIRCUIT COURT date is THREE days after the CITY COURT date on JANUARY 30th at 9:00 a.m.
This is finally an important move forward. We are sincerely hoping that the city court will overturn their ruling and allow Beau to go free.
We ask you continue sharing our information, as we are in a critical time frame now.

I may have more links. I couldn’t find this one when I wrote the original post. I believe you can find the facebook page here: https://www.facebook.com/pages/Please-Help-Beau/765019283535997?fref=nf
Here is the most recent post from my facebook feed.
Team Beau:
Good morning. This is a thank you for remaining BEAU STRONG!
Since this all started, the admins on this page have been dedicated to saving Beau’s life and we remain that way. Beau is still incarcerated but is remaining strong and so are we.
You, as supporters, are Beau’s most vital asset. The legal process can grind slowly and it becomes even more frustrating when city officials send mixed messages. There are two lines of attack, one is working on continuing to spread Beau’s situation and message. You can do that by inviting friends to like this page. Numbers do count, and each and every one of you supporting this cause make a difference.
You can share the original petition, or ask friends and co-workers if they have seen it.
https://www.change.org/p/save-beau-the-dog-s-life.
On a second front, there is a further movement on billboards and ads that people have asked for. As that formulates, you will be kept updated.
Please remember that without you, the city would have already euthanized Beau and walked away. It is only the public outcry and with your help that Beau has a chance to survive.
As soon as there is any update whatsoever, we will pass it along to you. We all continue to strive for Beau’s release.
Because of you all, your sharing and support, we remain BEAU STRONG! Thank you again for your support. It takes a community to save the animals, and you are a great community of voices and supporters!
