Yes, indeed. I always visit The Labradors first home, meet the breeder, look over the other dogs and then mum and dad. I met Lorelai Gilmore's rellies, and Peri and Harki's too!! I like it that they want to look me over to make sure I will be a good human companion.
hello melinda- most appropriate - i'm all for better animal care - we seem to forget that they aren't just inanimate accessories. i've nominated you for this sort of kindness! do drop by for a visit again today :)
Both my childhood dogs came from the RSPCA and were wonderful dogs and members of the family. When there's already many homeless and lovely dogs in the world, I couldn't bring myself to go to a breeder ever. Hate the thought of a dog as a status symbol. Our current dog Midget is a retired sheepdog - we're her third home after the farm where she grew up working and the interim home with a local farmer here who's a softie for dogs. She's got the most placid, wonderful nature and has won my heart for her patience and endurance with my children! It's an honour to give a dog like that a comfortable and loving home.
Esmerelda lived with us for a couple of months, then one night she ripped through a window screen, and disappeared into the night, never to be seen again.
My cousin found Puss as a kitten, stuck in the wall cavity of her shed at Gunns Plains. She convinced me to keep her. She wasn't an affectionate cat when she came here, but became more so as time went on.
"Thousands - millions and billions - of animals are killed for food. That is very sad. We human beings can live without meat, especially in our modern world. We have a great variety of vegetables and other supplementary food, so we have the capacity and responsibility to save billions of lives." - His Holiness the 14th Dalai Lama.
