saving one animal....

dump me at the shelter? I don't think so!

life and death....

did the weekly turtle tank cleaning yesterday, the one who wasn't growing & whose shell was getting soft was dead. He/She was buried in the rocks right in front of the little country church in front of porch. we definitely have a pet cemetery theme going here...how many pets have been buried in various spots in our yard since 1995? Snoball, litters of kittens, all of Boo-duh's first litter of puppies, Baby Nala, Bunny Foo-Foo, fish, Mr Frog, Sierra the Hamster, Templeton the Gerbil....
how many (now deceased) pets have we had?
1 rabbit
dogs: Shannon Lee, Baby Ryan, Little Miss Scooby Doo, Missy, Scrappy Doo, Nala, SnoBall, the basset hound who ran away the first night...
cats...Pochohantas, Nala, Socks, Mr Cat, Lucky, Mischief, Princess (I seriously can't remember all the cat names...)
fish: Norman and many others
1 frog
hamster: Sierra
gerbil: Templeton
chickens: Nugget and five others

there have been many tearful ceremonies in our yard, lots of mounds of rocks. does losing pets make kids stronger? or would they be better off not listening to their moms bitch endlessly about litter boxes, flea treatments, vet visits, walks, feeding, etc?

puppies...

Sophie had 6 puppies last week....today Katie & friends were very excited to discover that Budduh had had 6 puppies as well....omg. that is waaaaay too many puppies. now we're like an animal shelter. need to get the outside dogs fixed as well....

love, your puppy

I died today. You got tired of me and took me to the shelter. They were overcrowded and I drew an unlucky number. I am in a black plastic bag in a landfill now. Some other puppy will get the barely used leash you left. My collar was dirty and too small, but the lady took it off before she sent me to the Rainbow Bridge . Would I still be at home if I hadn’t chewed your shoe? I didn’t know what it was, but it was leather, and it was on the floor. I was just playing. You forgot to get puppy toys. Would I still be at home if I had been housebroken? Rubbing my nose in what I did only made me ashamed that I had to go at all. There are books and obedience teachers that would have taught you how to teach me to go to the door. Would I still be at home if I hadn’t brought fleas into the house? Without anti-flea medicine, I couldn’t get them off of me after you left me in the yard for days. Would I still be at home if I hadn’t barked? I was only saying, “I’m scared, I’m lonely, I’m here, I’m here! I want to be your best friend.” Would I still be at home if I had made you happy? Hitting me didn’t make me learn how. Would I still be at home if you had taken the time to care for me and to teach manners to me? You didn’t pay attention to me after the first week or so, but I spent all my time waiting for you to love me. I died today. Love, Your Puppy

the red-eared sliders

Katie found them on a turtle web site & fell in love...the mandatory Fed Ex overnite shipping costs more than the turtles....so, Tuna Bear, Ribbet, & Sally Lou Sue moved to Mercer in August. their tank needs cleaned about twice a week or Katie can't stand it. our house is starting to smell like an animal shelter...1 cat, 2 dogs, 3 turtles...Katie picked out 3 different scents of Febreze on our last Walmart trip...
the turtles have a Flintstones house, a log, & a huge basking platform, a Venus flytrap, a screen lid, AND a basking light. also got a moss kit, but haven't opened it yet...and the turtle dish is way huge.
