Share Your goodness With the world October 10, 2008

Welcome fall!

I love the fall season, the weather has been exceptionally beautiful this year. Soon it will be Thanksgiving and we will start to reflect on the year as it comes to it’s end. I have so much to be thankful for! My life, my family, my friends, and all the happy moments of this years adventures. The only way I can stay positive and focused in this time when the world is in such crisis is to remember all the good things in life that I have been able to witness and even at times be a part of.. Our earth is crying to be loved, our kids are crying to be loved, and people are crying to be loved…. So tread lightly on the earth, hug your kids and tell them you love them and be kind to strangers. Spread your goodness, I believe we all have goodness to share. Don’t be afraid to spread it, in doing so, you might just make the world smile again.

Peace

9 Million Animals are killed in shelters each year becasue NO one wants them!!/ June 11, 2008

9 Million Animals are killed in shelters each year becasue NO one wants them! How sad is that?

 

 

I admit that I frequent the local animal shelter just to pet the animals even though I know I can not take them home with me. I stop at each cold concrete cage no matter how loud and mean they seem. I place my hand on the metal bars so they can lick it. I talk to each one as if it were mine, telling them what a handsome boy or pretty girl he/she is. Some are skinny and looking pretty bad, others are scared and shake almost uncontrollably. Some just lay there and others want you to KNOW they are there. They look confused, scared and unloved.  When I say it breaks my heart, What I mean is I feel a lump in my throat and a stab in my chest. There are times I get tears and just want to cry. I look in the sad eyes and wonder what they must be feeling and thinking.  One might ask ” why do you do it if it makes you so sad” and I have no answers except I feel somehow, some way, maybe they will sense I cared and feel happy for a moment before they are NEVER adopted or worse put to sleep. It feels like a mission of mine in a weird type of way.  I am also involved in CASA for abused children but that is a whole different post for another day. I kind of view them as the same, the voiceless! Used, abused, and thrown into society with no choice of their own.

 Please help me spread the word. And NEVER NEVER purchase a puppy from a pet store! It only adds to the growing number of dogs in the world that become “unwanted” and end up in shelters to die. Even if your not in the market for a dog, please visit this site and educate yourself  knowing the facts can help stop this sad reality, you never know when you will be able to share the info with someone and save 1 dog or even a  1000
