Are blog posts/comments admissable as evidence in a lawsuit?

Regular readers may recall that about 2.5 weeks ago on October 10th, I complained to the dog park membership director that one of the members was bringing her two foster dogs to the park. Two foster dogs that she'd had for 3 days and that hadn't been screened for aggression by the membership committee, and who did not have the proper documentation (Philly license and rabies certificate) required to be members.

He did nothing. Said nothing to the woman who was bringing them.*

Those two dogs, over the next two weeks, went on to attack 3 other dogs while at the dog park (that I know of), resulting in a bitten human, and a doggy torn up enough to require stitches at the VHUP.

AWESOME.

(Can you say "lawsuit" boys and girls? Because if my dog had gotten ripped to shreds by a non-member dog, and I knew they weren't members, and that the membership committee knew about the problem and had done nothing, that's kind of sort of exactly what would have happened. And SHOULD have happened.)

But I digress.

In other news, the website has gone live. Finally. After 3 months. I had signed up to work on it, hoping I'd learn a little html.... but no. They wanted to use this really cumbersome and annoying software instead. So whatever. I wrote content. Which someone changed. And then I started a helpful links page, with vet info, dog walker info, boarding info. That sort of thing.

So the first time I hear about it from a member, she's talking about the website and how stupid it is that there is a helpful links page. That everybody already knows all this stuff, so why would anyone ever bother to put it on a website.

Awesome. :-)

And then yesterday someone else was telling me how stupid the person was who did the links page because it was missing some absolutely critical link, and how on earth could the web designer not know about it.

Double awesome. :-) :-)

And they still have no procedures in place for accepting new members. And it's still on a case by case basis, like if you're friends with one of the committee chairs, or something else completely asinine.

And then they complain that people in the neighborhood think they are exclusive snobs.

Poor babies!

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!

Anyway, there's a dog park meeting next week, which of course conflicts with my schedule (my EM shift is that evening). But I will send my husband so that they can't say I don't care. It's probably a good thing I can't go though, because I might get irrationally pissed off when I express a concern (for example: see above) that gets blown off. Which will happen.

Anyway.

AWESOME!!!



*Yes, he does have contact information for her as her other dog is a member.
