Sarah Palin Remains Oblivious to Trig, to Animal Abuse, and to Common Sense!

For an entire week Sarah Palin disappeared. The rumor mill was out of control. It is still unclear if Sarah was just taking a holiday break, in a drug stupor, or dealing with a drug problem of a family member. Yesterday she emerged with another Facebook post. There were no pictures of presents around the tree or opening presents on Christmas morning. There were no pictures of a traditional waffle breakfast, playing games together, or anyone in her home, except Trig and the dog.
Her post was a simple one:

“Happy New Year!
May 2015 see every stumbling block turned into a stepping stone on the path forward. Trig just reminded me. He, determined to help wash dishes with an oblivious mama not acknowledging his signs for “up!”, found me and a lazy dog blocking his way. He made his stepping stone.
– Sarah Palin”

Then she posted these pictures.

From the three line post and the three pictures, Sarah reminded us that:
1. There are no Christmas decorations to be seen in the house.
2. Trig still doesn’t speak.
3. Trig still doesn’t wear hearing aids.
4. Trig still doesn’t wear his glasses.
5. Sarah describes this specially trained dog as “lazy.”
6. Sarah remains “oblivious” to Trig’s needs.
7. No accommodations in the family home have been made for Trig(such as a step stool).

Not only was Sarah so irresponsible that she allowed Trig to step on the back of the dog, but she stopped to take pictures, and was then foolish enough to post them on Facebook.
Because she had the camera in hand, capturing the ascent as he stepped up on the family pet, it is likely that Trig did this, and Sarah had him repeat the behavior so she could capture it in photos.

I was so outraged to view the blatant mistreatment of a specially trained dog, that I looked into the background of the dog. Sarah got Hadassah from the Puppy Jake Foundation.

The mission of the Puppy Jake Foundation is to “ improve the physical and emotional well-being of wounded military veterans through well-bred, socialized and professionally trained service dogs.” Since Trig is a child with special needs, and has never served in the military, it is hard to understand why it was appropriate for Trig to have a dog that was trained and intended for a member of the military. It is even sadder that a soldier who might have benefited from having such a dog, goes without a dog. Instead, Hadassah is being wasted and abused in the Palin household.

The cost of training one of these dogs is $6000.00.

If you feel as I do that this treatment of any dog is outrageous, and abusive, please feel free to send the foundation a message here.
Perhaps they can take the dog back and find a soldier to give it a loving home.

Trig is almost 7 years old. The average weight of a 7 year old child with Down’s syndrome is 50 lbs. Imagine the permanent damage a 50 lb child could do to the spinal cord of a dog by placing all his weight on the dog!

Imagine the permanent damage Sarah Palin could do to a Down’s syndrome child by adopting him!

Palin’s post had resulted in over 12,000 comments. Sarah Palin has done a masterful job of staying in the news during a week that would otherwise be a slow news week. Way to go Sarah!
