My daughter Whitney, who lives down in Abilene, TX sent me an article to read about a person who was being charged with cruelty to animals. It seems that the person in question abandoned her two dogs and the house she was living in. The two dogs in question were locked in the home for almost two months with limited food and water.
The two dogs were finally rescued when the home was to be inspected by the company trying to sell the abandoned home. Both dogs were on the verge of starvation. It seems that they had been living off of whatever they could find in the home and their own fecees. Now this is cruelty at its hight!
In these days of homes for unwanted animals and shelters, why would anyone just lock an animal in a house and walk away? What kind of reasoning goes on in the mind of an individual that would do something like this? It would almost be kinder just to take the critter out and shoot it? Of course I'm not advocating shootting a dog that you don't want but I think you get my meaning. There are a lot of options for caring for an animal that you don't want or can't afford to take care of!!!
In my way of thinking, I trust that the individual responsible for this has the book thrown at her! There is just no excuse for this type thing happening.
I think the dogs were kept alive by the grace of God (and I'm not a real bible thumper) so as to enrich the lives of somebody else. Dogs are the epitamy of the super natural - they enrich lives that need enriching! I also have a white boxer (and two great danes), they have made my life complete! Seriously, I can't say enough about the joy they have brought to me and my family. Nice chatting with you, fellow dog lover.
