The US Magistrate judge also told the Chapmans they were out of luck according to TMZ, the judge is reportedly "going on vacation through October" and won't be able to resolve the issues for Dog and company until he is back.Dog and wife Beth told TMZ.com that they were "devastated." "We love this country," they said, "and are proud to be Americans, so this is absolutely devastating that we can now roam free in Mexico, but not in our own country."
