For the sake of the animals

A couple of my blog friends have posts dealing with animals they've encountered this weekend, from yet another puppy mill in Quebec being shut down. Check them out at natlauzon.blogspot.com and misster-kitty.blogspot.com . Nat and Shawn (a.k.a. Misster Kitty) are among those with kind souls who really care for these animals, and volunteer their time just to give them the unconditional love that dogs are supposed to be giving to humans.
At work today, we had a story about a five-legged boxer mix named Logan, who needs amputation surgery, because legs #4 and 5 are fused together and useless. Check it out at http://www.atv.ca/ottawa/news_67245.aspx . It also has a link to Hopeful Hearts, the group that specializes in rescuing and finding homes for senior and special needs dogs. God bless Roz Phelps and her group, too.
Every time I see stories like Logan's or the dogs that Nat and Kitty work with, I want to adopt them all.
I just hope that adopting my Coffee, The Prettiest Cat Ever is enough. And as much as I would like to have a playmate for her, I don't think that's a good idea.

Aw go on, Bob - a little pup would be a great companion for her. Another cat maybe not so much, but a doggie woggie?? (Hey are you going to the breakfast on Saturday?)

I hope to make it to brekkie, but you know how unrelaxing it was for me last time.

I don't imagine they'll be Blackberrying you this time, though, will they?

You can bet on that, XUP.
Put me down as a definite maybe.

Hey thanks for the kind words. Logan has had his extra 2 legs removed and is doing awesome. Hint Nudge, we are now taking applications for his adoption!!
