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. All profits from her book are going to animal rescue, Santa Paula Animal Shelter, the first and only no-kill shelter in Ventura County, CA, where she lives. (see links below on Ventura County Star Article & Shelter)

The Persecution of Mildred Dunlap 
Done, and I’m forwarding post to my Twitter site.
Thank you so much! 🙂
Voted. 🙂
Thank you!!!
Sorry Paulette… did my best to vote, but they don’t seem to accept votes from Canada. Jean-Jacques
Bless you for trying. That counts for a lot. Sorry you couldn’t get your vote to count at the site. It counts with me! Thank you. 🙂
They’ve just sent me a password which I tried and it still did not work and I have advised them so. If they can solve their problem I will let you know. JJ
Well I just tried again, and this time my vote went thru. Says I can cast a vote every day, which I will. Please let me know how long the voting lasts. JJ
Bless your ever loving sweet heart for hanging in there and doing this. Others would not have kept at it. I’m sure that somewhere a furry friend is wagging a big thank you for sending out such a loving and wonderful energy to help. Blessing to you for this and you continual kindness of heart. Your friend, Paulette P.S. I tried to see when it ends, but it only has the start date and mention to vote daily. Not sure when it ends.
Thank you for hanging in there and making a difference. A little effort goes a long way. Very grateful. xoxox
Wishing your shelter all the best. We just voted. Hugs and nose kisses
Oh that’s so grrrrrrrrrrreat! Thank you so much. It’s the only no-kill shelter in a very large county, close to a million people. 🙂
DONE! 🙂
Thank you so much! wag wag and rubbies to Tara. Auntie paw 🙂
WOOF! WOOF! WOOF! (Tara-speak for ‘Anytime, Auntie Paw) 😛
I know what Tara’s saying!!!! Max & Bella have been translating, BOL BOL. Wag wag. xoxox
DONE!
Thank you so much, Lee. Baby Rae is proud of her mommie. Love to you both. Paw 🙂
Going to vote now!! Hope, hope you get it!
Thank you so much. So do I. It’s the only no-kill shelter in Ventura County, CA. 🙂
i tried multiple times and it wouldn’t accept my vote for Santa Paula Animal Rescue Center, Ventura Ca 93030 CA!!! 😦
Oh darn! I had two people say the same thing on facebook. I copied yours and theirs and pasted it in a message to SPARC to have them contact the site in case there’s a glitch. I sure don’t want them to miss out on votes and the grant. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR TRYING. If I hear back from them, I’ll post that here for you to see. Big hug to you!
I voted from Sweden! It took a bit of perseverance. It can be hard to decipher what they want from those captcha letters, often with the letters upside down, or no knowing if it’s a 1 or an I. Anyway I just kept reloading the captcha box until I got an option I could read and that it would accept.
❤ ❤ ❤
Bless you for your perseverance in the name of the furry friends you’ll be helping if they win the grant. And, if they don’t your effort and energy have rippled into this great big life and I’m sure grateful for it. Hugs & Love!
Just got this from a friend in South Africa who’s promoting this for SPARC on facebook:
Wanda Hartzenberg
I figured it out. Tell people to not put in stuff in the tabs. Let it do a simple search and go to page 441
It’s not a user-friendly site. Again THANK YOU SO MUCH!!! xoxox
I just voted again 🙂
Oh wow, Alison, thank you so much, my friend. Love, Paulette
Voted.. it didn’t worked at first, but after a few times it did. Pawkisses for GOOD LUCK 🙂
Pawkisses, wag, BOLs back to you from Max & Bella and from me the biped, Paulette, THANK YOU SOOOOOOO MUCH!!!!
DONE!!! 🙂
Thank you so much!!!!!!!
So exciting. We’re getting votes from CANADA, SWEDEN, SOUTH AFRICA, and if I’ve missed a place give a shout out so we can cheer all over the world for the good people helping their furry friends. LOVE TO YOU ALL FOR HELPING.

POST FROM SPARC: Santa Paula Animal Rescue Center UP TO # 13 IN THE NATION AND CLOSING IN ON THIRD PLACE IN THE STATE….PLEASE VOTE AND REMIND ALL OF YOUR FRIENDS AND FAMILY MEMBERS TO DO THE SAME!
Just done!
Thank you so much!! Means a lot to have your support. 🙂
I voted for your shelter,because I also love animals, especially dogs.
I owned four fox-terriers who died of old age .Unfortunately ,I lost one of them this summer. Her name was Netty and she was 14 years old.
So, my summer was not exactly like I planned.
I hope you win Paulette
Oh my, you’ve moved me to tears with your kindness and sharing of your Netty. It’s never easy and I understand all too well the pain of our furry children leaving us way too soon. I’m sure your angel Netty is watching over you and wagging happily that you helped some of her furry cousins here on earth. Blessings to you and thank you so much. 🙂
I’ve voted 4 more times – I think you can vote every day, or even more frequently if you leave a few hours in between.
xoxox
Alison, thank you so much! I’m bowled over that you’re doing this and helping out our fury friends here in Ventura County. I’ve been voting daily but didn’t know about the few hours in between and will get back there more frequently. Thank you for that! The last word I had was they were 4th in California and 13th in the U.S. Fingers crossed it’ll improve. Again, from the bottom of my heart thank you so much! 🙂 xoxox

The shelter is now ranked #8 in the nation. It has a chance of winning. Thanks to everyone who voted, and revoted! I can’t express my gratitude enough on behalf of all the furry friends out there who will benefit. Love, Paulette
Thanks for the reminder – I voted again and will keep voting over the next few days.
xox
Thanks, Alison. Very appreciated. They have a chance at getting it. 🙂
Just voted again, which is definitely less than 12 hours since the last time I voted.
I’ve been doing the same thing. Some days it won’t let me in earlier, others no problem. You’re truly wonderful to do this. I feel that the effort and energy put out into this world will somehow make a difference. It certainly is to me for one. THANK YOU!! xoxox

Paulete, did your animal shelter win? I can’t remember seeing a post on the result.
But God Bless all animal shelters & their workers. It is so heartbreaking, what we humans do.
The voting is still ongoing and it’s currently in 8th place nationally. I think the voting ends the beginning of Oct. but that not completely clear. If it wins I’ll be screaming it all over. And, yes yes yes, God Bless all those who work in shelters and help animals. Walking angels, they are–the humans, and the furry friends.
Reblogged this on lost creek publishing.
Thank you so much for this reblog! Very grateful on behalf of a lot of furry friends. 🙂
Just voted. Best of luck!!! 🙂
Thank you, marina kanavaki, that is so kind of you. Right now the shelter is #8 in the nation. It still has a chance. 🙂
That is great news. I wish you do get it. As I was saying to Kerry [JK Bevill, who reblogged this] good causes deserve to be rewarded!
🙂
That was very kind of Kerry to reblog this. He’s extremely generous with helping other bloggers. And, it’s so nice when good causes, people, etc. do get rewarded. Have a great day, my friend. 🙂
VERY NICE
GREETING(s)from ANDREA
BEAUTIFUL DAY
Thank you, Andrea. Greetings and beautiful day wished back to you. Paulette
**MANY HUGS**PUALETTE…)))
🙂
Vote entered, good luck!
Thank you, anguscroix, that was very kind of you! Whatever the outcome it will be a win-win as it will go to a shelter that is helping animals. Of course, I hope mine wins since it’s the only no-kill shelter in Ventura County, CA. a large county with many abandoned and/or stay animals in need each year.
Thank you for reading my blog so often. I enjoy your blog a well. best wishes, beebeesworld

YES, THE VOTING IS OPEN AGAIN! Hope everyone votes daily. Grateful for all the support here for the first and only no-kill shelter in Ventura County. ❤
Sis, I cannot add Santa Paula Animal Rescue Center!
It continues to occur failure!
What to do?… 😦
Oh no, I’m not sure what to say other than maybe hold off till later, try to refresh, then put it in again under shelter name on the Home page and click search to see if the vote line comes up. Thank you so much for trying. ❤
If anyone reads this and knows how to handle this please post here. Thank you.
Just done, Sis 🙂 ❤ ❤ ❤
Bless you for your perseverance and voting. I can feel the happy wagging as we speak. Sending you daily love and continuing to hold you in my heart. 🙂
Sorry I can’t vote for your shelter on this one, because my shelter is on the list. But Good Luck!
That’s great, Ruth! Wishing you tons of success for your shelter and since a lot of prizes are given out am keeping my fingers crossed that both of ours get some help. Love, Paulette 🙂
I’ve kept the page open so I can vote every day 🙂
