Mildred takes to Fighting Crime. The real story is how the people at CH.com saved Mildred's life.

Post by don on Oct 11^th, 2004, 7:10pm

Its a little long:

Mildred developed a tumor on her spleen. Doc gave her about a week to live without a very expensive operation. Ihad a web business at the time but had to go away for the weekend. I got back and found my Paypal account full of money but no orders for the product. Then Jonny called. "When you coming by to pick up my check? he says. What check I say. He says "You better check the MB brother". So I do.

Unbeknowest to me, Mast had posted Millies plight on the board. Clusterheads started Paypal(ing) donations. I recieved snail mail checks from clusterheads literally from all over the world. The following Tuesday Mildred had the operation that saved her life.

Little old Mildred officially became the Ch.com mascot. I have the plaque that shows it.

Moral of story. You can argue, fight, snarl, spit, and scratch here all you want but when the chips are down, clusterheads unite.

Mildred eventually passed on but her remaining life was enriched by clusterheads at CH.com.

The plaque is signed by everyone at the New York Convention.

I should add this.

The business site sold a personalized product. You had to fill out a form to recieve the product. Not one single clusterhead filled out the form or requested the product be sent. Just paid the product price through Paypal.

The State Police called her the State's official "Pizza Recovery Dog". LMAO

Lose a piece of pizza and Mildred would find it. You just wouldn't get it back.

Not only is Mildred still around, but she has a restaurant in Strathmere, NJ. (http://www.seaisle.net/places/mildreds.html) It's a pet witness relocation thing.

Thats why you connected with Millie. She was a top notch beggar to.

Post by LeLimey on Oct 12^th, 2004, 6:08pm

Thats a Beagle thing I guess! Mine will get off the bed for anyone but me! I just get lain on and "looked at" with that " But you LOVE me face" Really makes me laugh. He is a real lap dog too.. thinks he is a chihuahua. He was a rescue dog too, when we got him the vet didn't think he would live as he was so malnourished but he is here ten months later, absolutely fine with the sweetest disposition I have ever seen on a dog ( except for the getting off the bed thing!) I'm glad you had Mildred :)

Not only would Mildred not get off the bed but she would crowd me over until she got her spot. And I'd stay moved!

Yeah how come when they sleep in their beds they can curl up into a tiny ball but when they sleep on OURS they turn into Dogzilla?! If you ever read the breed characteristics it says they are stubborn.. which is putting it mildly! Still.. I wouldn't change a thing about him for all my whingeing!

You have no idea how much of a dog lover I am. I am crying. I wish I could have known Mildred. She was so cute! My first dog was a beagle and we did everything together. I used to put her in a baby buggy (with a bonnett on her head!) and walk her around the neighborhood. She was famous in our little village of 300 people! Everyone knew Cuddles. I am now proud Mommy to a 6 year old, 2 year old and 1 year old. My six year old is of the 2 legged variety and the 2 and 1 year olds are of the furry four legged variety! I love my fur babies! Gucci and Elvis are as spoiled as my 2 legger!
