How can you love an Animal this much.

Everyone knows about animal shelters but why does not everyone choose to adopt when they have the chance 

Today I am blogging about WHY????  Why do you love animals I love my animals because they are more then just a pet to me they are my family they are my friends and I believe that, that is how it should be. Animals are not just meant to be liked they are meant to be loved and cared for they have feelings like everything else. Animals care for people I believe more then people do they are there for you when you are sick and when your sad they stay with you even when you get angry and mad they are there with you when you grow old and thin and all the ask for is love in return.

THE POWER OF THE DOG Rudyard KiplingThere is sorrow enough in the natural way
From men and women to fill our day;
But when we are certain of sorrow in store,
Why do we always arrange for more?
Brothers and sisters I bid you beware
Of giving your heart to a dog to tear.
Buy a pup and your money will buy
Love unflinching that cannot lie--
Perfect passion and worship fed
By a kick in the ribs or a pat on the head.
Nevertheless it is hardly fair
To risk your heart for a dog to tear. When the fourteen years that nature permits
Are closing in asthma or tumors or fits
And the vet's unspoken prescription runs
To lethal chambers, or loaded guns.
Then you will find--its your own affair
But--you've given your heart to a dog to tear. When the body that lived at your single will
When the whimper of welcome is stilled (how still!)
When the spirit that answered your every mood
Is gone--wherever it goes--for good,
You still discover how much you care
And will give your heart to a dog to tear. We've sorrow enough in the natural way
When it comes to burying Christian clay.
Our loves are not given, but only lent,
At compound interest of cent per cent.
Though it is not always the case, I believe,
That the longer we've kept 'em the more do we grieve;
For when debts are payable, right or wrong,
A short time loan is as bad as a long--
So why in Heaven (before we are there)
Should we give our hearts to a dog to tear?

Hey all
Just wanted to leave a quick post here I know its new years weekend and there will be fireworks going off everywhere but I want to let you know that your animals do not like fireworks. Dogs and cats are affraid of fireworks people like to take their pets to see fireworks but then their pets end up running away you have no Idea how many calls an animal shelter gets in the morning after a fireworks show has gone off at night that peoples dogs have run off it is insane. people need to leave their pets at home enjoy the show with friends and then go home to see their pets because their pets don't want to see loud scary noises in the sky.

Please leave your pets at home during firework shows.
