Hello Again:

Pictures will be posted soon of Nico and Dainjer.  We have captured a very loving pose with Mike and the two of them.  As I have been thinking about this whole rescue experience, I can't help but wonder about the thousands of pets across the nation waiting for adoption or unknowingly sitting on death row.  At the same time, there continues to be breeding, breeding and more breeding.  It only seems logical to me that when our shelters our full and our euthanasia rates are even greater, we should have enough compassion within ourselves to save the existing animals and stop breeding.  If breeding is only being used as a source for financial gain, it must be recognized, that in the end, it is the animals that suffer.  During a financial crisis like the one we are currently experiencing as a nation, more dogs and cats get taken to shelters or simply dropped on the side of the road than at any other time.  It is especially important during these times that those who can afford a pet and wish their lives to be enriched by the love of a pet, step up to the plate and adopt.  Maybe someone reading this will take it to a higher level to help pursue stronger legislation to strictly regulate breeding.  I think the only breeding that should be allowed at this point is perhaps for law enforcement.  Then again, strong willed dogs in the wrong hands can lead to problems as you well know. 

I have met and heard from many new people this week.  I truly have not been surprised by the mental and emotional drain on animal care providers as they face the politics and red tape surrounding the system of animal rights.  I believe any living breathing creature needs to be protected.  If we don't protect their rights who will?  Understandably, not every human was called to love animals, but I guarantee that every animal  has the potential to fall in love with a human.  It just so happens that Nico and Dainjer have fallen in love with my husband. 

Relationships with pets are amazing.  My dogs move me every day in the way they sleep, eat, seek affection, romp and play.  I love my French Mastiff, Chloe, and I can only laugh when I forget to wipe her mouth after she eats.   She says,  "I can take care of this myself," and quickly finds my bed to wipe off her leftovers.  If that doesn't work, she stands waiting for our pitt puppy, Capi boo to lick her sloppy face clean.  This is truly a sight for sore eyes.  Where else can you enjoy watching one dog lick the sloppy drool of another and only laugh in bewilderment thinking it must be love.  Only in the dog world right?  LOL 

Nico and Dainjer have yet to show anything but thanks to Mike for their rescue from "jail".  It is a shame that so many pets are awaiting a soft bed, plenty of natural sunlight, long walks, good food, treatment of health ailments and snuggle time.  Dogs can sense their owners return up to a mile away from the home.  Yesterday Capi started barking and went to the window.  I looked out and saw nothing.  A moment later my husband pulled into the driveway.  There are hundreds of dogs out their waiting for you.  If you have the potential to adopt by offering a loving home, we can teach you the leadership necessary to build a bond to last a lifetime.  Don't keep your dog at the window awaiting your arrival.
