Support Animal Rescue

-
One of my co-workers posted this on Facebook. I just don't understand how people can do this to animals who place their trust in us unconditionally.

Don't buy from pet stores while shelter dogs die.

Animals in shelters:
A: Get adopted
B: Get put to sleep
C: There is no C.

    Gaahhhh. One of the 3 things (yes, there are only 3) that make me borderline homicidal. :(

    All of our pets have been shelter kitties. We've even adopted the older, traumatized ones and loved them to bits, even when they couldn't love us back. We keep trying to show them that there are good people in the world who will love them and take good care of them.

    Sometimes they are fostered, too. Lots of great people are willing to give their love, knowing that they will say good-bye later.

    I can't watch it. I just can't.

    I have absolutely no tolerance for any form of animal cruelty. NONE.

    When I was a kid, I couldn't even watch Lassie...

    I'm not a huge "animal rights" person, but a couple of weeks ago, NPR had a guy who does undercover work for animal rights organizations. The stories he told were beyond belief.

    I completely agree with you on the shelters: there are so many pets in shelters waiting for a decent family to adopt them.

Repost: Everyone uses the word, what's your problem

This is from 2009, but I wanted to re-post it because today is "Spread the word to end the word" day. Every time I hear somebody refer to Skyler as "retard" I die a little more inside. Our-kids is a group of over 1000 people who all are people who are in one way or another in the special needs community. Most of us are parents, but there are teachers, doctors, therapists, siblings, and some are the person with the diagnosis. It is a worldwide community, but most are from the United States. We benefit from having an international membership, because it can be quite interesting to hear about viewpoints or medical procedures that are going on in other countries. Over the years, I have had faceless names become close friends, engaged in discussions about body functions you wouldn’t mention to your doctor, and gained a valuable sounding board for advice and ideas. I have grown to care about a lot of these people, and their lives as much as some of my own friend

Goodbye old friend. Hootie: 1997-2009

I'll never forget the day I first saw him. We were driving home from Golden and Kathy said "Why don't you go this way?" We headed down a street I had never been on and found ourselves driving by a little strip mall. Then Kathy says "Turn in here a minute." Now my spidey senses are on alert, and sure enough, we wind up parking in front of a pet store. Kathy had been out in Golden a couple of days before and had found Hootie sitting in a cage looking so lonely. When we walked in, there was a sad little puppy up high in his own cage, with a sign that had 2 different prices crossed out and the third was pretty low. He had been taken and then returned to the pet store. I knew right then that we were heading home with another dog, I had been suckered! I still wasn't quite over the loss of our Golden Retriever, but I never do seem to get over the loss of a pet. Kathy knows that I need a replacement though, and seeing as we always have dogs in pairs, our
