Chihuahua Custody Battle in Texas

A mother and daughter are locked in a custody battle in a Galveston County Justice of the Peace court over Noonie, a 2-year-old Chihuahua.

LaCaze claims her daughter sold her the dog in October for $400. Alleman said she can’t be held accountable for giving up the dog because she was drunk at the time.

    The drunk defense! The drunk defense!

    Amy, one of my best friends is a retired lawyer who does legal reporting of Galveston County court cases. I’m gonna get the inside scoop from her!

    “We were all drunk,” Alleman said. “I had to be driven home.”

    Lucy, this drama is playing out on the Texas Coast–not to be confused with North Texas or West Texas. Their lipstick is entirely different.

    If it please the court, I agree with Alleman. I mean, come on–we’ve all sold dogs when we were drunk.

    Also, I still want a dog that is half bull dog/ half chihuahua–a bullwawa.

    I was sold by a cat when the cat was on crack. That’s how I got here.

  5. Sheila Ryan on April 9th, 2009 at 3:15 pm

    Oh, Cindy, I think Lucy was alluding to a question I asked about the Bauman-Mabli dogs.

    But it is true that Gulf Coastal lipstick is different.

    By the way, the friend from whom I aim to get the inside scoop is the woman from whom I (and we) learned of “I don’t want your bourgeois divorce“. So you know that if it is good, she’ll get it.

    I want to hear you say bullwawa, Cindy.

    I agree with Cindy. I’m sure many people have sold their children off while intoxicated. She should get little Noonie back!

  7. Sheila Ryan on April 9th, 2009 at 3:16 pm

    But, hell, it don’t matter who alluded to what or when! Long as that lady gets lil’ Noonie back, like Amy said.

    Bullwawa

    I thought it was chiwobble.

  10. Sheila Ryan on April 9th, 2009 at 3:21 pm

    Thank you, Cindydarlin.

  11. Sheila Ryan on April 9th, 2009 at 3:21 pm

    Chiwobble.

  12. Cindy Scroggins on April 9th, 2009 at 3:21 pm

    Chiwobble. What’s that, half chihuahua/half turkey?

  13. Lucy Foley on April 9th, 2009 at 3:23 pm

    But they still gave the cat custody of me when she sobered up the following wednesday, so there is hope.

  14. Amy Mabli on April 9th, 2009 at 3:24 pm

    Pierre is a chihuahua/bulldog mix.

  15. Sheila Ryan on April 9th, 2009 at 3:25 pm

    Hey, do any of y’all remember that NY Times article about the pet-finder in the Hamptons? It was a good while back, about a Long Island woman who specializes in helping vacationing summerfolks find their lost pets. What I recall vividly is her disgust over the fact that Julian Schnabel’s son could not correctly spell the word chihuahua.

  16. Cindy Scroggins on April 9th, 2009 at 3:25 pm

    Pierre! A bullwawa! He doesn’t look quite like I envisioned the mix, but he’s French, so I guess it’s all okay.

  17. Sheila Ryan on April 9th, 2009 at 3:26 pm

    Lucy, did your cat custodian teach you to hunt?

  18. Cindy Scroggins on April 9th, 2009 at 3:26 pm

    Julian Schnabel’s son could not correctly spell the word chihuahua.

    That would put me over the edge, you betcha.

  19. Lucy Foley on April 9th, 2009 at 3:27 pm

    I have been taught to Entertain The Cat.

  20. Sheila Ryan on April 9th, 2009 at 3:28 pm

    It really made the woman mad, Cindy. I bet you’d like her.

  21. Cindy Scroggins on April 9th, 2009 at 3:29 pm

    Is that code? Are we back to the Colorado nastiness again? I can’t trust you people.

  22. Cindy Scroggins on April 9th, 2009 at 3:29 pm

    I was referring to Lucy’s post. Though Sheila might be speaking in code at any time. I’ve learned.

  23. Sheila Ryan on April 9th, 2009 at 3:31 pm

    Hell, Cindy, I could be speaking in tongues!

  24. Sheila Ryan on April 9th, 2009 at 3:32 pm

    Well, Lucy, to Entertain the Cat is the principal thing. Along with Not Disturbing the Sleeping Cat.

  25. Lucy Foley on April 9th, 2009 at 3:34 pm

    Lucy’s post? Christ! Have you been going through my letterbox again, Cindy? This is getting fucking ridiculous, Cindy. I told you I keep the porn in Mike Dresser’s facebook profile picture.

  26. Cindy Scroggins on April 9th, 2009 at 3:35 pm

    I meant Lucy’s comment. Yeah, that’s the word–comment.

  27. Lucy Foley on April 9th, 2009 at 3:40 pm

    Fecksake you can call my post a comment and my comment a post. But if you do insist on rooting through my letterbox I will kindly ask you to leave me some remarkable cake and a nice pot of tea.

  28. Sheila Ryan on April 9th, 2009 at 3:41 pm

    Call yourself an archivist and you can be paid to root through people’s post.

  29. Lucy Foley on April 9th, 2009 at 3:42 pm

    I am being whisked away…

  30. Sheila Ryan on April 9th, 2009 at 3:45 pm

    Bye! Say hi to Tar and to the cats.

  31. Cindy Scroggins on April 9th, 2009 at 3:46 pm

    Public Notice: I, Cindy Scroggins, have no interest in Lucy Foley’s “letterbox.”
