Stop Leaving Pets In Cars

NEVER LEAVE YOUR PET IN A VEHICLE NOT EVEN FOR ONE SECOND!

Why does anyone insist  on taking their pets in the car.  Stop It Now.  They should not be in a moving vehicle unless you are taking them to the Vet.  Take your dog for a walk its much healthier for them and cats never should be outside or in a vehicle.

My God its the year 2011 how stupid can the human race be (don't answer that).  We are experiencing the worst heat wave in North America and people are still leaving their pets in parked vehicles.  Opening the windows a crack is a bunch of crap.  It does not cool the car.

Leave the poor dog home they really do not want to go with you in the car, you may think they do but we all know that dogs are people please rs. Unfortunately the poor things think their humans are smart and know whats good for them.

I should not have to also remind everyone do not leave dogs outside in those things you call dog houses.  If you want a dog they should be part of the family that means inside your house.  There is not a good time of year for pet to be outside.   Please with this terrible heat let them out to use the facilities and naturally if you can mange it a short walk is always nice.

Last make sure your pets have access to lots of water.  If its not to much trouble change it at least twice a day so its fresh.

If you think any of these simple task are to much work for you then do the animal world a favor and do not adopt of heavens forbid purchase a pet.  If you do not have the time to give them basic attention and love you are not the human for them.

Showing your pet you love them does not mean a car ride.  Leave them in the safety and coolness of their home where they can drink eat and relax.  They get no thrill out of going to the store.

I apologize if I sound mad but I am really disgusted hearing how some precious dog died again in a parked car because of the stupidity of their owner who claims to love them. Really people just use a little common sense when it comes to the safety of your pets.

Learn everything about pet food.  What is really in them and which ones are best for our pets.

My Girl Sadie

I only have one cat at the moment.  Her name is Sadie.  We adopted her l8years ago from our local SPCA.  It was the first time we adopted any pets.  We also adopted our Benjamin.  We always had strays.  I was born into a home with  5 cats and a dog.  I never remember a time without cats and dogs and a couple of turtles and a poor gold fish that was constantly being harassed by the cats.

It was filled with love and laughter.  I was taught tolerance and how to accept and love all kinds of animals which helped me learn how to accept and tolerate people also.

My husband and I had retired and had lost our cat George the year before.  So we walked into the SPCA very nervous but excited.  We were not going to look at kittens I thought maybe we should get older cats. But we never had kittens so we thought maybe we would try to raise two little ones.  To make a long story short we adopted Benjamin and Sadie.

We lost Benny in 08 and now my Sadie is sick.  I do not want her in pain but I am not rushing to the Vet.  She has only been to the vet a few times in her life unlike Benny she has been very healthy.  I never let my cats outside so I have to admit after age 7 I stopped the leukemia vaccination and the rabies.

My little girl is hanging in there and I will hopefully not be selfish and keep her alive for my benefit.  I believe in putting our animals to sleep before I let them suffer.  In the last few years I have had to put my parents wonderful old dog Jack down along with their 3 cats.  It has been a terrible a time.  In the last 5 years I have lost both my Mom and Dad.

So I have to end now and hope Sadie stays with me a little longer.
