Entry for February 02, 2007Something Serious

After my sillines yesterday, today my friend Tammy has reminded me of the seriouness of spaying and neutering of your companion animals.

Those little cuties in the picture may be pups that will probably find homes, but there are millions of unwanted dogs and cats out there who end up in shelters who have no room for them and then are killed just because there is no room. Not spaying and neutering is no joke. People with their ideas of "oh lets just let her have one litter" and men and their male dog issues and you know what I am talking about. Then all the litters that are created are homeless and soon dead.

What about people who get a companion animal and then say " I can't keep them, we will just take them to the pound, they will find another home" . No it doesn't work that way. Then they are just dead.

When you adopt it must be forever. We are all animals, we all have feelings, we all deserve love.

The Associated Humane Societies have decided that February is Prevent -A-Litter-Month and that February 27th is Spay Day USA. I think it is a good idea.

If you have a companion animal that is not spayed or neutered, Get Hot. If you think it is too expensive, most towns have some type of program that can help you. Check it out. Go to the shelter and foster a dog or kitty until they can find a good home for them. All the kitties in the video I showed yesterday had been taken and dumped in a shelter and the wacky woman who was making the video was fostering them till they got good home. Most shelters have these types of programs. If you are looking for a new companion to bring into your home FOREVER go to the pound and save a dog or cat or even a couple.

But first remember

SPAY AND NEUTER ALL COMPANION ANIMALS

It's a fact

Every time a person is born in America so are 15 dogs and 45 cats. Too many for the number of available homes.

You can help prevent this.
