    Default How Could You?

    I'm assuming that some of you have probably already read this, but for those who haven't, it's one of my favorite articles, even though it makes me really sad. I believe that if every person in America had to read this, it'd make a huge difference... BTW, it came from a site that I found while researching Sibes and looking for my babies.

    WARNING!!!

    This article is not for the faint hearted. It's a really good article, but it'll cause waterworks... (caused waterworks for me that I'd never knew I was capable of).

    Glad I was home for that one, even though I have already seen it many times. It should be in the dog owners handbook or something.

    That one should be posted at every front door of every shelter! I've read it before but the result is always the same, people really piss me off!

    I've read this before, but as I sit here on my couch, looking at all five of my children (pets) sleeping in various parts of my living room, I am SO sad for the animals who don't have what they do.
    I can't imagine just dumping any single one of them, and I cna't IMAGINE what the heck the person who dumped my kitty at the shelter was thinking.

    It makes me sad that I decided to go through a breeder and not adopt, but I needed to get a puppy for the sake of my cats, and not just the puppy getting used to them, but the cats getting used to the puppy as well. So since I was getting a puppy, I wanted what I wanted.

    I did get my little kitty from the Humane Society, though. And Meatball came from a litter down the street that would have ended up at the Humane Society or on the streets (Not neutered!) if I hadn't taken him. Actually, if I hadn't gotten him from the person who actually took him, and hadn't kept him when she demanded to get him back. Truth be told, I think THEIR other cat is Meatball's dad! -.-

    Anyways, I'm rambling. haha.

    I only read half, maybe not even half, and that was it. Makes me even sadder that it had to be a husky. One of my fave breeds. I just had to go out and hug Aspen.

    Actually, I don't think it was. I think the owners of the site (Siberian Husky and Whippet breeders and showers) just copied and pasted the story from other places on the web to discourage people from buying puppies if they're just going to abandon them.

    If I ever make a site about Siberian Huskies (probably solely to educate people on the breed), I'm definitely putting that article on there, as well as a link to this fantabulous forum. XD
