About The Persecution of Mildred Dunlap
The year 1895 was filled with memorable historical events: the Dreyfus Affair divided France; Booker T. Washington gave his Atlanta address; Richard Olney, United States Secretary of State, expanded the effects of the Monroe Doctrine in settling a boundary dispute between the United Kingdom and Venezuela; and Oscar Wilde was tried and convicted for "gross indecency" under Britian's recently passed law that made sex between males a criminal offense. When the news of Wilde's conviction went out over telegraphs worldwide, it threw a small Nevada town into chaos. This is the story of what happened when the lives of its citizens were impacted by the news of Oscar Wildes' imprisonment. It is chronicle of hatred and prejudice with all its unintended and devastating consequences, and how love and friendship bring strength and healing.
Paulette Mahurin, the author, is a Nurse Practitioner who lives in Ojai, California with her husband Terry and their two dogs--- Max and Bella. She practices women's health in a rural clinic and writes in her spare time.

How awesome is that!
I am thrilled

So are the all of them. All of the above happened in the last week, most today. Doing a happy dance over here. 🙂
Oh that’s grrrrrrrrrrrrrrreat! 🙂
You can say that again! 🙂
That’s brilliant…so many good people!
Yes, it is. They had a nice rush of adoptions this week. A lot of happiness all around. 🙂
I love success stories; like the pup at our shelter who was going crazy in the kennels, fostered in staff offices, and after being with us since January, went to his new forever home this past week.
Oh that’s wonderful, Ruth. So glad for a happy ending with that pup. 🙂
This is so heartwarming! Congratulations and celebrations! Made my afternoon, thank you! 😀
Awww, that’s great. Tara is one of the lucky ones. Couldn’t resist showing her cuteness here. 🙂
Funny but I didn’t see the photo of Tara and Mats when I posted the comment but it belongs there since it was your blog and encouragement that lead to me even think of adopting another dog. She gets bigger and cuter everyday, it’s hard to believe that we’ve only had her for 2+ months. 🙂
I posted Tara’s after I posted this. The next thing I saw was her photo and couldn’t resist. Our friendship evolved in the most wonderful way, Ela, talking over our love and heartbreak of our dogs. And, when we started you didn’t even want to consider another adoption because it was so painful for you, which I understood (made me cry with you over my girl Tazzie) then all of a sudden out of nowhere Tara appears and my heart did an incredible happy dance. This with you, with Tara, holds a very special place in my heart. You guys are cyber family for always. Hope to meet you some day. Wag wag. 🙂
Yes, I can’t even remember how or when I found your blog or did you find mine first? It was serendipity. It would be wonderful to meet you all in person, in fact, seeker asked if you were invited to Mats’ birthday celebration tomorrow! Wanna come?!!! 😛
Yes, count me in. What can I bring, besides Max & Bella? (and Terry, lol). Oh wouldn’t that be fun. And, a shout out thanks to Seeker. Funny how every time I think of the two of you together I still laugh over the giraffe being in the refrig, or whatever that was. What a great laugh that was.
I can’t remember how we met but it was cyber destiny for sure. Wag wag!
Wondeful day fo those doggies and kitties when they were adopted. A great feeling to see the pics and the humans so happy.
Yes, it is a great feeling. The other good thing is this is a no-kill shelter and with ever adoption is opens up another space for a fury friend to have a chance at life. It’s a great flow. 🙂
Doubly wonderful.
Yes! 🙂
Hahaha, I love it (Mats will flip!), thanks for including it; such an honour! 😆
You sent me her photo right after I posted this one. Couldn’t resist including her cuteness here. She’s one of the very lucky ones that you and Mats adopted her. 🙂
We are the lucky ones to have found her. 🙂
Yup, all of the above. 😉
This just too good. Now I will sleep better tonight knowing they home to go to. Thanks Paulette.
Yes, it is. It’s such a wonderful win-win. Big happy dance. 🙂
How wonderful to see these happy new / extended families, so uplifting. A toast to a happy future for all!
I’ll raise my glass with you to that toast any time. 🙂
Brilliant news and wonderful photos!
Very happy photos. My favorite. 🙂
Wonderful 🙂
Yes, it’s purrrrrrrrrrrrrfect and grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrreat! 🙂
I’ve been wondering, if I should want to open myself to heartache yet again. If I do, I will go to a shelter and find another piece of my heart there.
I can only hope all theses people in your post will be as happy with their pets as the pets are for being adopted.
Thanks for sharing the good news P 😉
You’re wise and very in tune with your insides. They will guide you on when/if the time is right for you. You just lost your beautiful boy and my heart is still sad for you, it may be too soon, honey, but then only you can know. Whatever you do, I’m here to support you.
Also, what you said about the people being happy with their pets…that’s what I pray for, that the families are not just happy and falling in love, but committed and hang in there if things get…well, if challenges present. Too many of our fury friends land in shelters because the families dump them. How to avoid this is a real challenge. I think reality checks on what it means to be a responsible pet owner is key.
‘Nuf of my soap box.
Be well. Sending you a special cyber hug, P
😉
Adopting an adult pet is a huge challenge – and I doubt people realise that.
It’s way too soon for me to think about replacing my old man, not that it could ever be done. For now, I’ll keep the status quo as is.
Life has a way of happening 🙂
Thanks for the hugs P.
xoxo
As one of the adoptors, I’d like to tell you that we are so very happy with our little Tara! 🙂
Then you guys are promised a whole lot of fun and lots of love 😉
Absolutely! We lost our last dog in 2008 and it still hurts when I think of Gita.
I just said good bye to my old fellow yesterday, so I’m still kind of raw.
Don’t think i’ll be adopting anytime soon, but one just never knows I suppose.
I’m sad for you and will keep you in my thoughts. {{{HUGS}}}
Thanks!
🙂

Best news I’ve read all day! 🙂
Yes, it’s terrific. So happy you got to share in the great news. 🙂
Well done..only happy people and animals
Very happy people and animals. 🙂
I love it when our little furry friend find fuzzy humans. My fat little heart is doing the polka over here.
Oh that’s so great. Polka is a great celebratory dance to show our excitement over fury and fuzzy family connections. 🙂
I did eventually get the giraffe out of the fridge! It was hilarious! 😛
On a serious note, it would be marvellous if you and the gang and Seeker could have all been here tonight – I’ll post some photos tomorrow. 🙂
Can’t wait to see the photos. Always with you in spirit. Give hugs to Mats and Tara and while you’re doing it that’s feel mine to you.
Glad the giraffe is free at last. 🙂
{{{HUGS}} back! 😀
Such great news!
The best part is this all happened just this last week and it makes room for them to take on more fury friends. I’m thrilled. Thanks so much for stopping by. Wag wag. 🙂
