I know I said I wouldn't do another Christmas post, but with snow and the cold and something I saw the other day, I just had to do a post to get you to think. I want to warn you- this is going on a similar theme of saving animals but may show some heart wrenching photos I found on
Pinterest. I really do think it is important to think of those who have less than then us.
Animals.
The other day as I was driving to work at 5:45 in the morning, I saw a tiny kitten on the side of the road. I pulled over to see if it had any form of ID and the poor little thing ran off into the snow.
It made me think, how many other animals are out in the cold, and how full are the animal shelters. I wonder if the Shelters even have enough space? The picture below shows some of our furry friends in Shelters. Some shelters are wonderful and have space- others...don't have the space and are kill shelters.
What about those who are killed because there is no space or because no one wants them.
What if a dog could write a will? What would it say?
What about other countries?
This Christmas many people are probably getting a a cat or dog, or any other cute animals. Please, if you give someone a gift that is an animal, please make sure that that animal is a forever pet.
Keep the pet until it is time for the pet to die. Do not get rid of the pet because something came up, do not get rid of the pet because you don't like it, or you don't want it anymore.
The below picture makes me smile- I think it would be a great world where bad pet owners get sent to the pound. I would love to see that.
What I would love more, is for Animal rights to be taken seriously. Please, think of the animals this Winter. Please show them some love and compassion.
I know this is a sad post, and filled with Christmas Tears, but please remember them this holiday.
Ciao,

Hi Honey - Your post shares an important message. Some of us know that it is our responsibility to treat all creatures with love and respect. Too many people (children and seniors)and pets, are neglected and even abused. It is important that we all do what we can to stop negligence and violence. Yes, these are tearful issues, but they can't be forgotten even during the holidays. Thanks for sharing!
Thank you Ann, this is one issue that I feel very strong about. Thankfully Jeff is on the same page as me about Animal rights and is okay that I speak out for animals.
