Yesterday was supposed to be Laporte's hearing and sentencing, but the defense lawyer asked for a postponement and got it! We are all very disappointed as we were so ready to champion our cause. Our friends in Montreal were armed with binders of our petitions and CDs that Mom, Christine and Elizabeth worked so hard to compile; the media were all coming and many others including foster parents; people who helped in the rescue of the wires and even my pal Bingo!
But, I Axel G Chocholoza am the eternal optimist. This setback is not going to make me depressed. Instead, I see this as an opportunity to add to our petition binder print outs and get many more signatures! We are now at 13,766 - I am sure we can get to 20,000 by the next hearing date scheduled for April 8. And I am very proud to tell you, we have signatures from 64 different countries, WOW!
Besides, word on the ground in Montreal is that the press are still interested in the story and were very impressed with our petition. They interviewed Elizabeth and Bingo - I hope to get that link on the blog soon so we can all watch it.
Mr Laporte, enjoy your freedom for 2 more months, you will get your just desserts yet!
In local news, we got 3.2" snow yesterday. I've been having lots of fun hopping about. Photos soon, me promises.

I am so frustrated that it got postponed. But thanks to Elizabeth and Bingo and you and everyone else, I know this will have a happy outcome! Keep us updated!
Your friend, Lenny
We googled LaPorte to find out what happened to him and this is the only info we found so far. Thanks for the update. We hope when he finally is sentenced, he will get the max and lose all rights to his remaining dogs.
