I hurt, for "The Abandoned Pets and Animals Everywhere"! I cry, "For The One".

   The Tales and Stories are all over, the latest means of Public Media, "The Internet",  which has given us a much broader audience to help us with Our Connections.
There are people working everywhere to save these animals from, " The Certain Death", of Our City streets and Our Animal Controls. It is not the Animal Controls to blame for the Pet Over-populations...
It is ourselves and what we learn as we grow.
I hurt for the ones that have little chance of getting adopted, knowing their eventual fate...tears my Heart out.
I Commend and Respect, Rescuer's everywhere for doing everything they possibly can, by spending countless hours/days /and Lifetimes, in Support of these Pets. We always wonder and question Ourselves. Is, what We do for them really enough? Do they really find their Forever Homes? Why do We Transport to other areas that are over-loaded as well? They have the very same problems, and in many cases more... (due to population). But they also have other advantages such as grant funds/ more exposure to the greatest number of available homes/ more funds for the Medical needs/ and stiffer Law enforcements for the Protection of these Animals...So Yes we Do! We do anything possible and sometimes the seemingly, "Impossible". 
   No Matter where you are or how much you have to spend, These animals only know, "One Thing" and in most cases, It's quite possibly the "Best Thing ", they've have ever known...And that is, how much each and every person that handles them, does it with a "Love for Them"...Just for the One, "You do make a Difference For"! We cannot Stop...Because People won't Stop...!

   I Love You All... Each and Everyone of You...and All your Tireless Efforts in the drive to end,  the Needless suffering of Pets. Due to Over-Breeding. But it's Always the "One",  I know in my. that Heart, who  is sick/injured/old/blind/mangy/wormy/tick infested/ill-tempered/wrong breed/wrong color or
too costly...These are the Ones who are doomed...never to find a true place to call, "Home".
That is what makes me cry  :(  ``

$ If only I had a million dollars $

I'd build them all a home..., in God's World because it's not just mine...
So they would never have to cross that "Rainbow Bridge", too soon or alone to die;
Until they've lived, "They're Time", as "I".
A time of Love, a Time of a Dog to Run and Play...
A time to roll in the sun and grass, until He has lived, "His Day"!
Un-abused and unconfused about "Who Cares"?


Confucius Says:    Please use your Heart before you Breed
Confused Says:    The needs of the Too Many...Out-weigh the needs of, "The One..."
 please, please start crying too!

Have a Heart: A Spay + Neuter PSA from the Nashville Paw Foundation

   My initial goal in these notes,was to increase awareness's, for others to avoid possible dangerous situations with regards to, "Pet's"... mostly dogs. Because dogs are more closely relative to society and seem to have the most problems regarding, "Dog Bites".
   We have a lot of people in our daily lives that just don't take the responsibilities of pet ownership seriously. Or they are not aware of the dangerous situations they can encounter. Pets are like guns, in the wrong hands are very dangerous. 
   I will first tell you of a personal story to show that I do have experience in the matter of how it feels to be the victim of a dangerous dog attack and what I learned from it...
   Art the age of 5, our family was visiting one of my many Aunt's house on a hot summer day. As I recall  it was pretty normal for our Parent's to send us children outside to play, because kids are very loud and noise y! And the grown-ups just love to talk and catch up on all the news of the family...leaving us to be watched by the older kids (sometimes not a good idea, because the older kids are always thinking of ways to pull dumb stunts on the younger kids), but mostly it's just a part of being a kid...Just as a biting dog is part of being a dog...
   Anyway there was 5 or 6 of us kids running around the swing set in the yard, playing (Tag), climbing up the ladder and sliding down the slide. Chasing each other, laughing, playing having a good ole time. It was so much fun to us, that my Aunt's German Shepard decided she would join in the fun and started to chaise us
too. We, being just kids... did not know how doing this for a couple of hours would affect the dog...just being a dog...( Dogs after chasing prey for long periods of time, get very worked-up into a frenzy and with no controls or discipline can become the next new's story in your Family to talk about around the table).
On the last time up the ladder, the dog grabbed me by the cuff in my pants and jerked me off the ladder,
and to the ground I fell... From then on is somewhat of a blur, but I'm sure that I was crying for my parents...as was the other kids. ( Crying while being attacked is taken by a dog, to mean that you are the weakest of the litter and can cause an attack to become more vicious), Because the dog had begun to bite my face and throat...then I heard my Dad yelling and kicking at the dog to get him off me... my Mom picked me up, Bleeding everywhere from the encounter and started running down the street to the nearest hospital,
 ( in those days it wasn't very close) so I'm glad my dad got the car!
   As a result of all this I had 27 stitches to my face and throat, and back then there was only one way to determine if the dog had rabies. So they destroyed My Aunt's Dog and sent It's head to be tested...
The part of this story that I truly am sorry for, because now days we know we can hold a animal  for 10-Days quarantine instead of destroying, someone's beloved pet.:(
   I began a series of rabies shot's which caused me more pain than getting bit, because I was allergic. So for 7 more days I suffered with intense itching,scratching and having my hands tied so I couldn't scratch till I bled... But all said and done, my Mom always said, she didn't understand why I Loved Animals so much?
  I would grow to understand that accidents do happen, with no intentions by anyone...Just us Kids being Kids and My Parents being Parents and a Dog being a Dog and none of us Thinking...
"What could Happen"?

Confused Says: " I am still trying to help other Dogs, to make-up for My Aunt Losing Her's"...:(

Beware of "Dog parks" and Neighborhoods!!!  They are Littered with traps for your Pet's (by dog- haters)...Also water bowls/buckets...filled with anti-freeze...Don't let your pets go there unsupervised.
It could be a costly mistake for your Family Pet...

Tales from The Dog House: My Family Pet is still Missing.... Do I want to th...: My Family Pet is still Missing.... Do I want to think the worst?  Or should I consider where the real Blame lies?     "Wild Predators"...

My Family Pet is still Missing.... Do I want to think the worst?
 Or should I consider where the real Blame lies?

    "Wild Predators", of  your  Family Pet's!

• Alligators, that lie in wait at sources of water for your unsuspecting pet.
• Bob Cats/Cougars/Bears/Wolves/Coyote's/ and even larger birds of prey such as : Eagles/Great Horned Owls can do serious do serious harm, When they mistake your small Pet for a rabbit or squirrel...
• While coons and possums don't usually kill your pet for food, they can cause serious injury and transmit diseases that can...KILL. (Keep your pets Vaccinated). Rabies, which is contagious to Humans causes certain Death...and there is no cure!
• "Last But not Least" is the,"Human Predator"...The Most Dangerous of all...
• 
  

   What could Humans do to my "Family Pet", and "Why"? 

   The answers to this is not easy to talk about, because there are so many. Sometimes things happen by accident and sometimes through no fault of anyone specific. Most often because we don't stop and think, "Prevention First"! And then there's the "nature of the beast", which does come into play also. Whether it's

the Pet itself / The Owner/ Or the Stranger, and yes even our Neighbor's. There are thousands of stories regarding incidences/accidents with Pet's, on the internet and in the news, with  everyday bringing new ones. Are they accidents or incidents?

Which is worse? I don't know the answer to that one yet, but I do know that most, "Are Preventable with a little Forethought ".

   As I said before, "Ignorance is not Bliss", when it comes to You,Your Family, Your Friends or Your Pets,

being needlessly Harmed, maimed, Lost or even Killed . Most of times, It's your Pet that pays the price!

 Children:

Will tease and torment dogs, tied or confined in cages and fenced yards...Why?
Because it gives them a false sense of safety. As well as something to laugh at!
Notice that I said, False Sense of Safety!!!
Because dogs in these types of situations are too often teased into such a frenzied state. Day after
day, week after week, And month after month, they become more aggressive by instincts. It is there instinct to protect where they live...if it's a fenced yard/ a kennel run/ or on a 15' chain ..." It Does Not Matter",  when he get's loose... If  he don't bite you out of the built-up aggressions, over being teased daily, He will bite you out of fear for himself... Because Now He is Loose and He Can! Please do not overlook these situations... your dog can break a chain/ rope/ or collar... especially if it's made in china...!  He can dig out or jump/climb over and even go through a fence. I have seen dogs chew through 2x4's on wooden cages and Chain link on kennel doors.

 Adults:

Will harm your pet for reasons beyond reasoning...

Dog Fights: (sick)(very sad)(Abusive)-bragging rights/money

Theft: (sick and sad), This act is usually done to support fighting and drugs and should be added to The  "War on Crime" with stiffer legal penalties for violations.
In economic hard times some do this to gain from reward money's offered...money (Sad and sick) No pet, likes being Lost or Stolen from it's Family and the only Love they know.

Breeding (sad) because the taxes and burdens shared by others, is an ever increasing problem so these people can stay in the business of making money off others and the countless lives of "Breed dogs", that wind up in shelters or euthanized every YEAR!  (Money and more Money... but who's making the money And at what price to pay? ( Just to add mention ...We the People should not support these businesses. And promote bans of all exotic imports into this country except by certain responsible caretakers of these species. Permitted only under strict guidelines to protect, and preserve Natural Habitats. Until politicians take up these positions, they are not on board with protecting the environment for anyone)!

Barking (sick) and very very sad, that anyone would Beat and Glue a Dog's Mouth Shut...But it's in the news and if I were the owner, I would 1st asked myself did my dog bark incessantly when he was outside? and how long was he outside to do this? Was he fenced in? was there any holes where he could have escaped through? Could it be a neighbor that don't like barking and driven to such a horrendous action...as to lean over my fence pick my dog up, take him inside his house,beat him for barking and then glue his mouth shut with super glue, so he would never bark again... not realizing his actions would cause this dog's death? "Ignorance is not Bliss"!

Friends/Family/Neighbors:

Don't want dogs in their yards/ parks or on sidewalks/ don't like dogs/ don't like you/ don't like children...  (Very unhappy people in general), and they are the ones that put nails/tacks/poison in cheeses and drop them in dog parks and in Halloween candy, (in the news too). Antifreeze in water left outside for your, "At large Pet's".
Unfortunately these are just a few of Life's Problems for Family's with Pets. And people that commit these acts don't know that, God created the world for everyone....not just "Themselves"! Here's my word that isn't a word. "Co-Habitation"!


Confucius says:  He read in the news yesterday of a man in Florida who sawed his dogs leg off with a handsaw... What kind of Justice should he get? And What kind will he get? Do we know "Why"?  No...
Is it excusable? or sick? or both? or none of the above? Will we march for this Dog's Justice?
Probably not because he's just a dog....But this I say to you..."Here is where social behaviors begins..." with the exception, that this man was an adult...But what is he teaching his children? And What are you teaching yours by not bringing,"Justice to such Crimes"?

Confused says: All things are punishable, Under God's Law and through Him...Under Man's Law? Dunno...
