Peggy, you are such a wonderful advocate and champion for dogs, always
demanding what is best for them and wanting others to feel the same, but some
never will, no matter how much we wish it or will it to happen. They just
not do possess the same love, compassion, understanding, connectedness,
that you and others who deeply love their pets and value them do. I honestly
think those of us that do were born this way. My parents never had any
real understanding of animals or how much love you can feel for them or how
they love you back, just barely tolerating my deep love of animals, my mom,
bless her heart, would only give my cats, which was all I was ever allowed
to have (they had to live outside where they always got hit by a train and I
had to mourn them forever) a perfunctory pat to appease me. When our
neighbor's dog had cocker spaniel puppies and my sister and I begged our
hearts
out to have one, the answer was no, no, no, from both mom and dad. In
their defense, they were both working extremely hard to support our family.
After I was married and finally got my own dog, when they would visit they
never noticed the adorable antics he performed that made us laugh so hard
and love him even more. I always wondered how I could possibly be their
real child because of my adoration and love for animals and would search our
house for my adoption birth records from time to time, never found them,
lol...
Gigi, what a doll, well, we knew that, and what a compliment to her
preciousness, that people wanted her puppies should she have some, and how
observant of you to notice all that she responded to, the stroller, wanting
her
mom to let her spend more time with the guy who she knew looked like her
(so cute!), because you are all of the above in the third sentence of this
very lengthy email. Sorry about that, but really admire how much you love
and care for yours and spend the time to find out what is the healthiest food
to feed, what they truly need in life to give them the longest and best
lives possible. And all the many others on this group that do exactly the
same. You know who you are!

I felt bad for that little chi that I saw today. He was way to skinny and
you could feel all his bones. The owners were not the type of people who
are really into their dog. I got the impression that they love the dog, but
it is just a dog attitude. I really wanted to take him away from them.
Guarantee that poor fellow is on cheap can food and will never gain weight on
it either. Would you visit me in jail Joan?, lol!
