Great blog

IFAW has an animal rescue blog. I just found it today and I am impressed. It's everything that I had hoped this blog would become. Be sure to visit if you have a chance, there are many stories that deserve to have attention.

Love to craft and love animals?

The Snuggles Project is for you then! Please visit their site and learn more about making blankets for shelter animals. They need whatever comfort they can get, and this is a wonderful project that is giving them that very comfort they so desperatly need.

Pet Therapy

I know that pets can be great therapists! In fact, when my father had his stroke, getting a puppy was the turning point for his recovery... she brought his laugh back. Pets are used for therapy in many situations, some are even specially trained just for the job. What a great job that would be too!

Animal Precinct

There is a show on Animal Planet called Animal Precinct. It is all about the special law enforcment people who work on behalf of abused animals. If you are tender hearted like me, it is extremely difficult to watch. It's just so hard to believe the cruelty of some people, like today's program where a woman put newborn puppies into a trash can because she didn't want to deal with them. I usually can't watch the show because it makes me both sad and angry, but I am so grateful that there are people who care and who are working on behalf of animals. You can learn more about there work and how to help by clicking here.

Too true...

I think this cartoon sums it up best. The animal world truly lost a best friend.

Sad news...

I'm sure that you have already heard about Steve Irwin. I just heard the news, and I have to say that I feel sad about it. He was one of those people that just don't come along often in the world. He was passionate about life and so entusiastic about everything he did. I'm sad that his vibrant energy and lust for living is gone from our planet.

Way to go Gov!

"Puppy mills are large-scale commercial dog breeding operations where profit is given a higher priority than the well-being of dogs.

The health of the dogs is disregarded in order to maintain a low overhead and maximize profit. The female dogs are housed in overcrowded and unsanitary conditions often times without adequate food, water, veterinary care or socialization. They are caged their entire lives and bred at every opportunity until they are no longer physically able to reproduce. After the dogs are no longer profitable they are commonly killed or abandoned.

Luckily Pennsylvania’s Governor Edward G. Rendell is doing something to stop this sad and inhumane practice in his state. You can thank the good Governer by clicking here and adding your name to the list.
