We adopted our first dog 6 years ago, and I am still seeing new behaviors. Funny and hilarious behaviors, and some that are just plain surprising. Life would be so boring without them. So far our adoptions included one that was left tied out with no food or water, one that was dumped in a box full of puppies, and one puppy that just needed a home. Then of course there are the barn cats we inherited with the house. They gave us two more kittens to befriend the one cat we also adopted from the Humane Society. And the funny thing about them all is that they all get along. Including our indoor rabbit.
In reading a recent news paper article, my heart broke. A family's house became uninhabitable and they were forced to give all of their animals to a Humane Society. So what did I do? I asked my husband even though I knew the answer. It's been a tough year with feeding our own pets, but I asked anyway. I wanted to foster one of the family's dogs until the family got settled into a better home. Otherwise all of their pets would be adopted out to other families. I tried, but it still breaks my heart. This family with children could use prayers.
