hmmm…..
A friend of mine posted a pets prayer on facebook, it goes like this: “Treat me kindly, my beloved friend, for no heart in the entire world is more grateful for your kindness than mine. Don’t be angry with me for long and don’t strike me, chain me or lock me up as punishment. After all, you have your job, your friends and your entertainment. I only have you.”
I will never understand why someone could be cruel to an animal. We have had several occurrences of animal cruelty involving horses in our county this year. Instances of malnutrition, dehydration and injury have almost become common here. That’s probably an overstatement, but we do have more than our share, I think.
Caring for an animal should be a pleasure and a joy. On the other side of animal cruelty, our community is establishing a dog park. It will be an area for owners to bring their dogs where they will be safe to run and play. Examples like this are countering the abuse of animals.
I know of another friend who rescues dogs. She has two right now who only have three legs. They were badly injured and had to have limbs amputated. She has also rescued two cats. No, she is not a hoarder. She just loves animals and takes good care of them. I admire her because I only have one spoiled Pomeranian and she is a handful all by herself.
So I say, take care of your pet, support organizations that help prevent cruelty to animals, and be grateful today for those furry and friendly companions.
