12/21/19 Saw T.J.’s post about neck surgery and messaged him asking how this would be affecting Slick’s plan. He said he was looking at surgery and just could not take on Slick at this time. My response was OK…I will figure out how to absorb him into ETPBR…

8/01/19 Slick arrives at T.J’s
8/02/19 T.J. posted he got Slick yesterday and they went to the vet where vet estimated him as 10 yrs old. No pleas for donations and no posting of vet invoice. Said in later video that he was on Benedryl and 16 mg of Apoquel.
8/9/19 T.J. posted a video titling it…A Different Kind of Video for Slick
8/12/19 T.J. posts that Slick does not have Cushings…we were not aware that it was even thought that he did and cannot find a post that even speaks of a vet visit.
8/30/19 Received message that Slick was in trouble. Watch part of video T.J. had post on FB about Slick attacking T.J.’s personal dog Axel and how there is a possibility Slick will be euthanized. I messaged T.J. and asked…’Do we need to take Slick back? I do not want him euthanized.”
8/31/19 Video taken down as we try to talk to T.J. Response is Slick is with his business partner who is a certified trainer and behaviorist and whether Slick lives or dies is T.J.’s business and he does not need help from us.
This is when I started to look into T.J. Hughes and this is when I really began to worry for Slick's safety.
9/2/19 Spent day asking T.J. to let us bring Slick back to East TN. We had seen NO SIGN OF AGGRESSION HERE. T.J. posted the rant about how we had not even checked on the dog. Had not responded to his posts of needs for Slick. Had no claim to the dog. Had not helped with funding for the dog. He says he would not give Slick back to us no matter what as Slick was abused and not taken care of before coming to T.J.
9/3/19 We are all blocked and T.J. posts another rant about rescues and he will do what he sees fit with Slick.
I put up F.B post about T.J. and the need to know Slick is alive and safe.
9/5/19 As of today, we still have seen no proof that Slick is OK. We can support every item on this time line with screen shots, pictures, and video. We are BEGGING that Slick be returned to us. I called Dayton OH Animal Control and asked that a welfare check be done on Slick at the homes of T.J. Hughes AND Teresa Ollier Johnson.
9/9/11 Received a call from Officer Baker with AC. He said that he had been to both homes. Slick was not in either home and T.J. Hughes had vet invoice from Old Troy Pike Veterinary Clinic date 8/30/19 for the euthanization of Slick. Slick had been dead from the very first day we messaged T.J. Hughes. T.J. has LIED repeatedly about this dog.
