RUTLANDS LEGACY IN TEXAS

July 2nd 2010

The hate sites will have a field day with this I know. But a light needs to be shone on truth.  My life is very public and it is a bit like a goldfish living in a bowl with the world looking in.  Everything I am sharing is fact, not emotional nor seeking sensationalism, just the plain truth.  I will be adding documentation which proves what I have said as soon as I am able  as I am still stranded in this Texas hotel, without transport and no scanner.

I fully realise that there will be naysayers who will take great pleasure in saying that Rutlands Legacy wouldn’t work because I am such a ‘bad’ person.  I know that I am not a bad person, but I am it seems a very naive one who trusts people and takes them on their face value especially when they press my “God” buttons.  I freely admit that I lack wisdom and at age seventy I hope it is not too late, because I don’t want to allow betrayals to turn me into a skeptic who trusts no one any more.

I placed public halos around the heads of the people I thought I could trust and spent the last bit of my overdraft on my home mortgage ($36,000.00) to send most of my wonderful breeding dogs to Texas in January 2010 where I believed the Rutland Manor legacy would be in good hands.

When I arrived in Texas on 15th April 2010 my first surprise was to find that these people are so inexperienced in anything to do with breeding dogs which was not what I had been led to believe.   Adult stud males were living together and there were three serious dog fights soon after I arrived, with Rutlands Onyx being rushed to the Alvardo Vet clinic where he spent the night on a drip from his wounds and in shock.  Another stud dog fight between little Charlie and Embers could have been fatal for Charlie only for the fourteen year old grandson being on the spot and breaking up the fight.  Their grandson told me there had been more dog fights before I had arrived.

My beautiful “Happy” was boarded in Australia with a number of my other dogs for a period of four months when the EPA  gave me two days to remove my dogs from my Australian property due to noise complaints from neighbours. (Dec 2008 -The EPA advised Beverley to fix the kennels, she refused and instead de-barked all her dogs. 8 months later the EPA issued a fine of $5,671 for failing to fix the kennels. They gave Beverley another month to fix the kennels (9 months all up)or the dogs would be removed. Beverley did not fix the kennels, so she decided to move her dogs into a boarding kennel-RM Exposed Team )

The offending neighbours later moved.  (The neighbours were subjected to continual harassment including having their letterboxes ripped out, rubbish bins tipped over the road, cars scratched, fence signs vandalised and ripped  and had Beverley’s staff and their friends running through their property at night. These families all had young children and were subjected to this each night for weeks. One young family were so frightened they moved into a motel and they have since sold their home and moved. One family went to court and took out a restraining order against Beverley- RM Exposed Team) Twyla Pyles and Kate were there and helped to load them onto the horse trailer for their long four hour road trip.  I am not making this up !

When Happy and the others returned back home four months later, some of them were in a very bad matted condition and had to be shaved and grass spearheads removed by surgery.  This will all be verified by the vet records and dates when I return home and post them here.

Happy had  matted infected ears and matted clots of coat around her genitals and after I clipped her and gave her a shampoo she was taken straight to the vet for treatment the following morning as were others over the next two days as we cleaned them up which was no easy task. (The photos of the infected ears are actually Sunnie – RM EXposed Team)

Photos like this taken of some of the dogs the day they arrived back home and before their visit to the vet next day have been posted on the hate site to make it appear that I keep my dogs in this condition. When I return home to Australia I will scan the vet documents and dates and will post them here to confirm the truth of what I am saying.

I told Twyla all about this and advised her that Happy should have a swab for infection and treated if necessary before she was mated in Texas.  When she left Australia she was in good condition and health again or the government vet would not have passed her for export.

On 15th April the day I arrived in California Twyla spoke to me on the phone with what she called ‘exciting news’  and told me that Happy had been mated by Akubra.  I reminded her that I had told her Happy needed to be swabbed for infection, and Twyla responded that she didn’t know what a swab was. Akubra has not had his hips tested.

Happy is almost three years old and this was her first litter.  She was shaved off to the skin in May  after being in Texas since January.   I sat by her as she suffered a painful and distressing labor, with five dead  and emaciated puppies being born and two surviving ones which would have died had I not been there.

On June 19th Mike and Twyla told me that they expected me to sign over all my dogs to them and transfer them into their own names.  I reminded them that we have reams of correspondence in writing which shows that it was always to be a lease, with a 60/40% split of the money from the sale of the puppies and administraton was to come from Australia.

On June 20th Mike drove me to a hotel an hour away and left me there at 10pm.  When I left Mike and Twyla’s there was no argument, and we parted with hugs and kisses and telling each other how much we love one another.  It was the kiss of Judas.   All my efforts since to contact them by phone and by email have been ignored.  When Mike dropped me off at the hotel that night he handed me a list of his “expenses”.  These included

Property rates (they already run a paintball business so rates have to paid regardless of whether there are dogs there or not)
Social Security tax
Office supplies and phone
Auto mileage
House cleaning – “because the dogs make the house dirty”
Mowing their grass and maintenance on their property
Labor of $500 per week for taking care of the dogs
And the list goes on.  Presumably grass needs to be mown etc etc regardless of whether there are dogs there or not.

July 2nd I was served at the hotel with a legal notice claiming lien on all my dogs with the demand that I pay Mike and Twyla $107,911.85  plus another $550 per day for every day the dogs are there past 25th June.  There is no mention of the thousands of dollars I have paid Mike and Twyla from the sales of puppies born at their place and no mention of the hundreds of dollars I spent on equipment which I gave to them.

Ironically, the day before this legal notice arrived I had called Kate in California because I knew Twyla would take her calls, and I asked her to let Twyla know that I had been in deep prayer for days about this perplexing situation and that I wanted to offer Twyla and Mike all my breeding dogs for free with the exception of Rutlands Onyx who they know has been promised on retirement to young Dan in Australia who raised him, and little Flo and Willow after they raise their puppies and my special Gem.  I was prepared to hand over my life’s work and my dogs to them for free rather than enter into any conflict with anyone. Life is too short.  But they chose to do it this way.

Anyone who thinks the dogs are better off in Texas may like to consider that all the dogs except Chubby and Trek and and Pardy had their coats trimmed off short  before they left Australia in January 2010.  By May 2010 they were so matted that it took three people  ( Kate, Linda and Kathleen who came over from California) andTwyla  almost two weeks to groom them.  Most of them had to be shaved to the skin they were so matted and full of burrs.

I wish now that I had taken photos of all the dogs and  BEFORE they were groomed and shaved, and of the container where the dogs sleep in the crates I sent them over in, on a two tier level of shelving  against the wall like pickles in bottles.  And I wish I had taken pictures of the poor little Min Pins and grossly overweight min pin crossbred “Pumpkin”  whose toenails were so long and curled over into their little foot pads that I trimmed them myself.

I had hoped that I could teach and mentor these people, but they had other plans as I found out on 2nd July when I was served with the lien after dumping me in a hotel and refusing to talk with me or email me.

Basically I believe that these professed “Christians” had this plan all along to get their hands on $250,000.00 plus worth of valuable breeding dogs by fair means or foul.  There are some things that I told only Twyla which were fed to the hate website.

May God have mercy on their souls “Forgive them Father, they know not what they do”.
