This time of year my heart breaks. Animal shelters are full of wonderful furries who need new loving homes. It isn't always because people are bad and don't know that they should have pets (and other family members fixed). Sometimes people become disabled and can no longer take care of their pets... You know the drill.
If it was up to me I would have a few more cats, dogs, and maybe a couple of bunnies. Thanks to Beau I can not.
Some may ask, why does your dog have a say in this matter? Are you kidding? Well... Both Beau and Prada love people but can not stand other animals in the house. (And no, we will not be adding people. I'm not having human children). Prada would tolerate another animal..Beau, no he will not. He doesn't even like the animals who have owned the house before he got there.
Beau would be the only fur-child given the option. He springs off the couch to get in any one of the kitties' faces. He sits on Prada. He is like the crabby old man who thinks everyone should stay out of his way.
When we had a sleep over,we had to cut it short for the safety of the other dog. He doesn't get cranky if he meets other animals outside of his house, but his house is HIS house, the rest of us are lucky to live there.
So, I must thank Beau for keeping me in check. If it was not for Beau our house would be over run with more fur kids than it all ready is. We would be spending so much money on food, vet visit, litter, puppy pads, gloves, cleaning supplies and I would own no black clothes.
So, if you get annoyed on my Facebook for all of the shares for homeless pets, please understand it is only because I can't take them in myself b
