No kidding! I still tear up when I think about that, and I'm a crusty old man.
‘Challenger’ and 9/11, both.
I cry over TV commercials sometimes - but I change the channel if they’re showing abused animals or sad baby elephants. :(
Sorry, Animal Activists! My dollars go to my local no-kill shelter, and I am a SUCKER for taking in their elderly dogs that need a home to live out their days in sunshine, fresh air and freedom! (We should ALL be so lucky!) I have a 15 year old ‘retired’ Beagle sleeping at my feet right now; Dolly Doodlebug.
I raise hunting dogs and I just can’t abide seeing other animals in distress like that! ‘No Sad Puppy Shows!’ ‘No Sad Elephant Shows!’
So, I’m right behind ya, Old Man, LOL!
