In reading the newspaper the other morning, I was shocked to find out how many families are still having to give up their pets. I can’t understand how they can do this. It’s like giving up a child. I’m hoping that those of you who look at my website please, if you can, take another doggie or kitty cat and help with this horrible situation.

The other thing I would like for you to do is to go through your cupboards and find some blankets and other items you don’t need and take them to the local shelter or humane society. I know they need blankets, and it gets cold even in summer, as you know.

One of my friends recently adopted a wonderful lab from a local SPCA and was shocked to feel how cold it was where the dogs were kept. There were no blankets for the dogs, and it really upset her – and me.

Do what you can in that area, and I’ll be keeping my fingers crossed, that more of our precious four-leggers are going to nice homes.

I’m on board. Today, we’re packing up a big bundle to take over there this weekend, and you can do the same in your communities. This isn’t just a local problem. It relates to all shelters.

It’s bad enough that dogs and cats are still being dropped off in droves by people losing their homes. Let’s all get together and help those we love the most – the animals.

I shall be forever grateful to all of you who do this.

Love,

Doris

P.S. By the way, I’d love to hear that you’ve taken as many blankets as you could and also that you’ve adopted a precious little – or big – angel. Let me know!
