Losing a Life

You know how this works.  Click here, come back and read while you read.

When we adopt a pet it is for life.....or it should be.  Too many animals are abandoned because they are "too old" or "no longer cute."  Imagine how we would feel if that happened to us? We all get old.  
So many breeds are "adopted" for bait dogs.  They are promised love and shown terror, pain and suffering.

So many animals are euthanized every year because of US.  WE are the problem.  We are not doing the right thing by stepping up and changing what we see.  We drive by the homeless dog on the street.  

We walk by the kitten crying for her mother behind the office building. 

We think that it is "not our problem."  

If it isn't OUR problem...than who's is it?

If we aren't part of the solution than we are part of the problem!

So much love get's "put down" every day!!  So much love get's abandoned.  So much love is tossed.  So much love is abused EVERY SECOND OF EVERY DAY!!

"You came and picked me up from the shelter. You said you would love me forever.  You misread my love for you...you thought it was like yours. But when you abused me my love was not like yours....

I still loved you."

"Each time you abused me.....I still loved you.  Each time you neglected me....I still loved you.  Each time you "forgot" to feed  me..... I still loved you.  

Each time you kicked me.....and when you left me to die.....I STILL LOVED YOU."



"You promised me that you would love me forever...not until you had a baby.  You promised me that you would love me forever...not until you realized I needed attention."

YOU PROMISED!!

"Now I am sitting in a cold shelter afraid to love anyone else....but I still love you.

That long hallway, it scares me.  I see others go down that hallway, I hear the crying and I never see them again.  

And I sit here, being scared, while everyone passes me and moves on....I still love you."

YOU PROMISED!!

I feel the sun going down.  I no longer see it or "feel" it but I know my sun is going down.  I remember the sun.  I remember you.....I still love you."

Remember this....shelter dogs and cats can AND WILL love again.  They will love you more than you ever thought was possible so before you go and BUY a pet....think about the dedication sitting at the shelter.  

EVERYTHING this dog or cat has been through they still love the ones who abused them. They still love the ones who dumped them.  THEY STILL LOVE!!!
