Sad.......

Tonight Jason and I had to go by the local animal shelter to pick up something, so while we were there we had to look at the dogs. It was SO sad--I almost cried while we were there and got teary in the car thinking about it. There were so many beautiful dogs just wanting to be loved, wanting a home. Some were so scared and shaking, they were hiding in the corner of the kennels, others were eager for attention. They were all behind glass, but a couple of times I put my hand up to the glass, and they tried to sniff my hand, begging for me to pet them. It was soooo heartbreaking.

Whenever the time comes for me to get more dogs, I don't know if I will ever be able to get a puppy again. There are so many dogs in shelters and rescues that need homes. I have often considered volunteering at an animal shelter, but I think I would be an emotional wreck. I know some of you have worked with rescue, and I so admire those of you who do. Thank you for all you do!
