Prayers for the little boy and his family, what a sad story. This terrible incident should raise some awareness regarding animal control being needed.

Please pray for my Aunt's cat. My Aunt who was 102 yrs old died recently and her cat needs a home. The poor kitty is 16 yrs old and won't come out of the closet - even though she was friendly and would come out when people visited. I would take her, but I have 2 indoor only cats and want to travel (taking all cats/dogs in the motorhome) - so my husband said NO! Yesterday was the funeral and I asked so many people and no one would take her. She's going to stay alone in my Aunt's apartment til things are settled. There are several people trying to find a home for her, but no luck.

For the little boy who has to endure the rabies shots - maybe a kind person (such as Richard who is a minister) could persuade the so-called owner to admit whether the dogs had rabies shots or not, maybe if he was told "We don't want your dogs, just copies of their shot records..."

Don't you think the present silence tells the story? If the owner were responsible enough to have the dogs' vaccinations up to date, wouldn't he have produced the records, even if anonymously?
When there's no effective enforcement of animal regulations, there will be lots of violators. My exurban county requires licensing of dogs and cats, at nominal fees. One year when I tried to buy licenses for my dog and cat, I got blank stares. I was finally sent licenses No. 2 and 3. I always wondered who No. 1 was.

Good morning everyone. I hope you have a blessed day. Everything here at home is peaceful this morning with all the fur babies taking a nap after their morning meal. Charlie continues to do well as does Peaches and Suzie.


God sure does have His ways of making us humble. Last night I was fed a piece of humble pie and at first I didn't like it, but this morning I look at it differently. There are times we find ourselves in situations where it is better to listen than to react, I hope next time I am a better listener.

God will hand us the humble pie when we need it. Which proves we are human and still need his guidance in our lives.

I like the happy fall post by Butterfly Girl. Last October we still had Levi and Old Fella even though Levi's time was short we didn't know it at the time. We were looking forward to our annual gathering with the kids in the Smokey Mountains. I remember the fall colors were beautiful and I also noticed Levi wasn't his usual self. He seemed tired all the time but his appetite was good and he did seem to be happy, but he tired easily. He wasn't a complainer anyway so it was hard to know what was going on with him. Then two weeks later it hit us that he was really in pain and having problems. That is when we found out about the cancer.

It was the next June we lost Old Fella. Charlie came into our lives soon after and made the pain easier to live wit and then came Peaches who also brought us comfort along with Suzie's ability to make us laugh. As we look forward to the holiday season that will soon be here I think how blessed we are. Old Fella and Levi brought us such joy as they became soul mates and bonded together. Fella missed Levi a great deal and at first would go to his bed at night to see if Levi would be there. He often would lie down on Levi's bed to sleep, but after a while he stopped that and went back to his own bed. Suzie then took Levi's bed and that seemed to satisfy Fella.

This weekend we will celebrate Sue’s birthday. It was supposed to be a surprise but I ruined that when I refused to go to Greenville because if a commitment I had made. So they had to tell me what was going on and soon Sue found out. But anyway we will be going to Camp Dixie this coming weekend to celebrate Sue’s birthday and we will be taking Charlie, Peaches and Suzie with us. This will be Charlie and Peaches’ first trip to Camp Dixie so I hope they enjoy the woods and the pond.

Okay I am tired and I think I will take a break as I have been busy all day with putting signs out and talking with people. So everyone have a blest evening and I will talk with you later.

I just got back from a call where a woman picked up a dog at a dumpster that is just about starved to death. I started to put his picture on the forum but decided against it. He is too far gone to save so I will take him in the morning to the vet and send him on to Rainbow Bridge.

We tried to feed him and give him water but he couln't keep it down. It's things like this that makes me angry, This poor dog {Pit Bull}has been abused and has the scars to prove it. I will send him to a better place tomorrow morning.
