MISSING MUSINGS: CARING FOR OUR FUR BABIES

MISSING MUSINGS: We have another problem manifesting in our society, and it seems a bit trivial compared to so many others... Just as we are responsible to the children we bring into this world, we are also responsible for the pets who share our households.

Evidence is in the number of furry friends needing adoption.  During the COVID-19 pandemic, people wanted company and welcomed the presence of pets. Then, when folks returned to their worksites, pets became a burden and our kennels are overflowing. Every day furry friends are dropped off in the countryside, many pregnant. 

So sad. Besides deworming and vaccinating this population, the next step is neutering. Besides donating to help with these efforts we also need to consider getting a rescue dog rather than overbred' pure breeds'. Ask anybody who has a rescue dog what wonderful pets they make.

My last charge is Wiggles, ~1 1/2 years old  watched as her first litter of 4 puppies died. She 's recuperating with me this week and next week will go to her new forever home.  

I was in a resale shop last week who takes some of their profits to help sponsor rescue dogs before they find new permanent homes the following was framed in their store.
