Open Your Hearts


Linda told me some sad, but maybe exciting news today. She is friends with the man who is Vice President of the Animal Rescue League in West Virginia. He was telling her today that there is desperate need for foster parents. In WV, there are hundreds of cats and dogs that have been abandoned by the housing crisis or given up because families can't afford to feed them. Their center holds just a few dozen dogs and they have 100's! I can't sleep in my comfy pink bed at night knowing these dogs are sad in such crowded quarters facing uncertain futures. When it is Snicker's time to go to Dog Heaven, we are going to be foster parents to the "little dogs" that are abandoned. People can go online at Pet Finder and adopt the dogs. The problem will be falling in love with the little guys and then having a hard time giving them up. As long as they are going to families who will love them, I'll be happy.
