She promotes the book in the very first sentence. Nuts.

And then she gave Grasshopper, Cricket’s littermate, to Mitt Romney, who drove Grasshopper across the country in an air conditioned doggy carrier…

She hated the dog. She took the untrained/excitable dog hunting - threw it into a overstimulating situation with a bunch of other dogs and birds - in a shock collar - and it “wrecked” the hunt. She stopped at the neighbors the same day, somehow the dog got out of the truck (hard to “escape” a truck without help from an human) and it killed some chickens. She was likely mad and embarrassed and so then she goes home the very same day and shoots the dog. And also shoots the farm goat? She’s got some pretty big issues. And she has no fucking business owning animals. Not all animals are suitable for the jobs we think they are bred to do. Especially if you do a shit job of training/preparing them. That doesn’t mean you get to shoot them when they act like the animals they are. It’s not a dog’s fault when it kills livestock. That is all on the owner. It’s absolutely the responsibility of a dog owner make sure that the dog doesn’t get into a situation where it can kill livestock. If your dog can’t behave off leash, then keep it on a damned leash. I totally get that sometimes the most humane way to deal with a “dangerous” (domesticated) animal is euthanasia (sadly most of those have been messed up by humans due to poor training, neglect or abuse, and they react aggressively out of fear, and are just trying to survive the only way they know how) but I just don’t see how that is the case here. This was a young dog that likely could have lived a good life with a different owner. She really sucks. I hope she never lives this down.

What’s even more nuts is that she feels the need to explain herself in addition to promoting her book.
Like George already said she ought to know that sometimes it’s just better to shoot, shovel and shut up about past deeds.
At the very least she ought to know what deeds to talk about and what not to. Killing the inconvenient creature you took on falls in the not list.

Always remember, Operation Valkyrie was an act of sedition.

Where in Montana? I have lost family there on my mother’s side. Her mother was born in a little town - then in 1885, an Irish settlement - called Laurin just outside Virginia City. It is now a ghost town, although the big brick RC Church still appeared to be working when I visited there in about 2005. Like going back in time.

For some reason saying she hates the animal was what stuck out as the most important personal failure of the whole situation.

@Renauda We are in Butte. Been here since 2018. That whole valley from Twin Bridges to Virginia City is really beautiful. So many cool old buildings in this part of the world that are still standing because it’s so dry here. Butte has a huge Irish population. Copper mining history (and they are still surface mining here) - an incredible amount of $$$ still comes out of the ground every day. Also, the largest superfund site in the US…
-
Yes I know Butte. Stopped there as well in 2005 to meet and spend a few hours with the resident USEPA super fund administrator. Got the low down on the “Butte Pit” and other facts and issues surrounding the mine and its tailings.
Virginia City and the surrounding area is really something. You would have to drive past Laurin to get to Virginia City. Anyhow that’s where my grandmother was born around 1885 (she was never sure herself but she figured she was two years younger than her older sister who was born in 1883).

'I'm Sorry I Have To Do This,' Says Kristi Noem Pumping Shotgun After Puppy Playfully Barks At Mailman
PIERRE, SD — After Governor Kristi Noem caught her puppy playfully barking at the mailman today, she broke out her 12-gauge shotgun and apologized for what was about to happen.
"I'm sorry it's come to this, Max," said Noem, loading two shells in the magazine. "But you did bark at the mailman, after I specifically asked you not to. Don't worry, I'll make it fast."
According to sources, Governor Noem had only last week blown away her last puppy with an AR-15 after she caught him digging in the garden. "These dogs are just so hard to train," said Noem, cleaning her rifle. "It's a shame you have to annihilate a few puppies with high-grade weaponry, but hey - that's just life on a farm!"Governor Noem reportedly led her puppy Max down to the infamous gravel pit where she prefers to perform her executions. "Stop dragging your paws, Max. Ugh, you are just the worst," said Noem as they walked into the puppy graveyard. "Four dozen puppies, and I still haven't found one that can be trained. Oh, well. Get ready for doggie heaven, Max."
At publishing time, Democrats had condemned Noem for killing puppies when they aren't even Jewish.

@Renauda thats pretty cool! I have been by Virginia city, but not in it. It’s a big tourist attraction in the summer.
My colleagues and I went there in March. We were the only ones in town. I think one book store/gift shop was open. Check out the story of the Plummer Gang that rampaged through there in 1860s

Not only is she not my governor, but she certainly won't be my Republican Vice President candidate either. LOL
