That's it, blame it on the dog. The inconsiderate beast just had to go and die. Give me a bleeding break.
Agreed.
The dog ate her homework too.
Holy smokes! My cat scratched me once, domestic violence from a pet. I should be able to do anything I want after that. :)
She doesn't have a dog.
I have been there, and had to put my 17.5 year old dog to sleep. It is incredibly painful experience, and while I don't have a a chemical dependency, I can understand the urge to medicate yourself so as to not deal with the pain.
My dog has been gone for over 18 months, and I miss her terribly. My heart still aches when I think about my little brown dog.
My dog grew up with me, I got her when I was 14 and she was with me through all the major events in my life. I am still adjusting to life without her.
People, give her a break . . . Tatum is dealing with a loss, and responding like a life-long addict - turning to drugs.
Some people treat companion animals as disposable, and interchangeable. I don't expect these people to understand. However, there are people out there that treat pets as true companions, and form deep bonds, and heartfelt bonds with them.
This isn't about 'The Dog ate my homework' it is about 'I lost my dog, and it broke my heart!'
Im a heroin addict and it rained outside today. I think ill go use.
Im not saying my shit doesnt stink. Im just sick of celebrities using shoddy excuses to cover up for their drug addiction. This story isnt about an animal dying, it's about a washed up celebrity who is supposedly in the 12 step program thinking its ok to use a questionable reason to excuse her own addiction when she should just take responsibility for her actions.
Are you so apathetic in regards to another human beings suffering. She is an addict. She fights everyday to save herself from her addiction. And truth be told she may not win the fight. Everyone falls. Everyone makes mistakes. Be they a celebrity or not. Don't use her celebrity to attack. I think you make the mistake of thinking that celebrities are'nt deserved of our compassion. Thats not a great place to be. Remember judge not lest ye be judged.
I find it odd that the FIRST time she buys she gets nabbed. While I do not know her, or the extent of her drug usage, I would bet money that if she'd submit to a hair drug test, I'd bet that this isn't her first use after falling off the wagon.
I do hope that instead of jail time that she gets a court ordered recovery program setup. I'd just hate to have to go explain to my daughter why her mother will not be home for a while :( Sad really....
Come on !!!!!! Give the lady a break,we all make mistakes.One does not know what happens to a person to make them fall into old habits.Addictions are hard to break and i will say prayers for her instead of making fun of her problems..........thanks
As God made the beautiful world and its inhabitants...all of them to be ever changing and ever lasting in their quests for continued life...there was but one animal that continously kept following him/her around day after day, light after light, dark after dark, creation after creation, and finally Earthly process after Earthly process... yet as the others went their very own natural, beautiful way to create and establish our modern world...there was one beautiful, loyal and compassionate animal that followed God day in and day out, night in and night out...and upon the moment God decided creation and process were complete...alas, a simple, yet loyal, loyal companion stood looking up at God as it had since the beginning... A heartfelt and emotional God, then spoke...'Dear animal since you have been loyal, giving, uncompromised, loving, and unasking of any favor...I shall name you DOG...my name spelled backwards in respect to your gift...the gift of UNCONDITOINAL LOVE, which is what I mean to teach in every language, in every worshipping way today and everyday...' Remember Tatum has been struggliing to find inner peace as a human day in and day out since childhood...her loss has meaning and it is unfair of us to downplay any grief she and her family are experiencing simply because she is a stranger we commonly know as a celebrity... My own dear dog recently passed, not the first nor the last 'puppers' I shall lose in this life due to life span of dogs'.... but purely speaking the emptiness of a home that lacks a departed dog is unbearable and desperate... dogs are man's/woman's bestfriend... Just 3 hours ago I was attacked by a coyote, without my 2 dogs to alert me I might have been the akward meal of another one of God's creations... as it may seem, the limelight, dulls the soul...
I wish her inner peace...Dogs for life!!!!
You can tell by the criminal charge they gave her that she is getting favorable treatment (possession as opposed to purchasing). Our society behaves so predictably it is as if we are being governed by anything other than logic or justice, hence at every level we generate everything from drug addicts to corrupt politicians. No society in history has ever survived such social dereliction and neither will ours (and she was such a darling little girl back in the day).
If she were a young black man she would have been shot 50 times.
Her father punched her in the face when she won her academy award for Paper Moon. Maybe she has some issues.
I got a speeding ticket. Thank you 7.5 precinct for saving me. Now, I will never speed again.
Last week, I had sex with my girlfriend. She is 17, and her mother caught us. Now, I will never have sex, again.
She got caught. I don't care what the excuse is. Do your time in jail. Please don't donate any money in the name of whatever because you got caught. Don't even open your mouth because whatever you say is going to be stupid. Sandra Bullock used to be my favorite actress until she opened her mouth. It was at that point that I realized that they are all stupid. So, they can act. They don't have the brain power to do anything beyond acting.
Dogs suck, they are such needy needy animals,they kill children,eat their own shit and lick you in the face afterwards,and attack people for no reason,they are way too worshipped these days especially the little rat ones, god I hate the little ones, they ar not even dogs they are rats haha, little dogs like chiwawas basically if they could would crawl up your asshole just to feel safe and stop shaking, i wish i had a big snake so i could feed one to it,and there is no excuse for smoking crack come on boohoo.
I'm tired of celebs getting too much attention.
And she's d-list at best.
Drug use is simply not the way to deal with anything at all, let alone the death of a loved one. It doesn't bring them back. It just sinks you deeper into trouble and drags everyone else who is alive down with you. She has her daughter, what about her?? I think that is a far greater reason NOT to use, than her dog's death TO use. These 'celebrities' are lame, lame, lame. They have it all and they just throw it away.
My dog is dead. Ill do crack...
Lets spin this an use an average person. You buy crack, and you get arrested. You are going to jail... but if you are a celeb you can crash your car into something, get caught with drugs, or anything for that matter (except taxes) and get away with it. Im really tired of all of this special treatment for the rich. I really dont care that you can act.... wake up america.
