Title: Urgent Update: Mission to Bring Bandit Home Safely

Hey, guys. Long time no see. A lot of you had questions about last night’s live and why it was subs only. It was emotional night. Um, with that being said, for my sanity and my mental health, um, it was important that I kept the group small in a way that it was, um, easy for me to control who was saying things to me, because I know not everyone has the worst intentions. There are people that are hateful, and, um, that was the last thing that I needed last night. So before we get into the clips that I’m about to share, this is a forewarning. Um, there is blood, and this is not a very fun happy video. Bandit hadn’t come home for about four days. I’ve been driving around, walking around, searching for him, texting and posting, and I just couldn’t find him. As you know, that’s just not like Bandit. So I knew something was going on, and I was sick to my stomach. Yesterday, my daughter and her best friend were walking around the neighborhood with her best friend’s mom, and they came across Bandit. Bandit was lounging in a neighbor’s yard, and the girls immediately came to tell me that his ears were bloodied. In person, this looks like someone shot a warning shot towards him, and it grazed both of his ears on the hind side. Unfortunately, this means that our plan in place is no longer the plan for Bandit’s Safety for his health and for his life. The plan has changed. The plan now is to bring him home as soon as possible with the help of the shelter or rescues around me. When I got over to where Bandit was, he immediately perked up and came to me. He followed me home. He ate his meal with Ethan and had plenty of treats. So while he is injured, he’s in good spirits. If you love Bandit, you would agree that this is the time, now more than ever, to get him home. So this is no longer about taking it slow for him. This is about saving him before someone takes his life. So in the next few days, it will be rough, it will be stressful, and more importantly, I’m hoping that it will be his homecoming. At this time, I ask for your patience because recording isn’t always an option. I appreciate you all being here in support and loving him so wholly. This is now mission. Get Bandit home.
