I am completely, absolutely, ridiculously, insane
about animals!!! I work with animals at my day job and share my home with a lot
of different creatures from dogs and cats to tarantulas, rats and ferrets.
I encounter so many
uninformed people in the work place concerning animals! People that get a pet
then "get rid" of it because it pees in the house or some other
problem, they usually did not research before picking a pet. You wouldn't get a
car or a house without researching it, but people think they can pick what is supposed
to be life long family member with no thought what-so-ever. You do not get rid
of the pet, you fix the problem! An animal is NOT disposable....it is a living,
feeling entity just like you! A pet is a responsibility for the life time of
animal. I'm always appalled by people telling me they are "getting
rid" of their pet because they are moving, so find a place that will take
it. Or another good one, "I'm having a baby!" What the $#@# does that
have to do with anything!? I raised three boys with a lot pets! Aaaaaaanywy,
I wanted to set up a
site for those that need some education, but would/could still be useful
to those in the know.
This site has some useful information concerning a few
problems you may encounter in your everyday comings and goings, and it has some
very good links to pages or organizations that will be useful to those looking
for help related to their pet, animals in general, or an animal in need.
