Jasmine and her brood of friends

In 2003, police in Warwickshire, England, opened a garden shed and found a whimpering, cowering dog. It had been locked in the shed and abandoned. It was dirty and malnourished, and had clearly been abused.
In an act of kindness, the police took the dog, which was a greyhound female, to the nearby Nuneaton and Warwickshire Wildlife Sanctuary known as a willing haven for animals abandoned, orphaned or otherwise in need.
Animals Have Feelings Too!

I couldn’t agree more and the plan was to turn him loose. On a different day he would have died the day he fell out of the nest.
Great awe shucks stories.....
Fantastic!
You must be very wonderful, compassionate and loving people. I am sure you are loved by more than just the furry persons!
Every time I went outside it would fly down to my shoulder and squawk for food
Of course, animals have feelings. I went out of town this weekend. My wife said one of our dogs that sleeps beside the bed cried when it was bedtime and I had not come home. :-( But I received a joyful reception when I returned home. :-)
She is a nurse dog...
It’s her job.

I thought it was about PETA and sea kittens.
You've reminded me of the time I had to put down my last mini-dachshund female. She was 16½ at the time, and it was kidney failure. Her 15½ year-old mate took a couple of days to realize she wasn't coming back, and in my absense, gave long howls in that remorseful way a very lonely old hound can wail.
My landlady said the neighbors were complaining, so I took him in my well-ventilated camper to my workplace's immense parking lot. (I had slept there occasionally after an injury, so it was actually quiet and cool).
I even got complaints about my dog there!
It took weeks before he finally accepted her loss. He, who became an excellent retriever (!), eventually expired of natural causes after 16½ years also.
Boy, do the Vet bills get expensive in their later years!
You are a sweetheart!
Much love your way.
Nice post too.
We love animals. Many times ...
I prefer them over LIBERALS.
When my children were young we had horses, cattle, sheep, one dog, and one cat. At the feed store we bought a baby Bantam Rooster.
Had a pen for it and when we were outside it would follow us around and hop up on the porch swing if we were on it. It would hop up on the windowsill of the den when we went inside so it could see us.
We really grew fond of Banty. One day I went out and found a bunch of feathers and knew something had carried him away.

Good story potlatch!
Animals are good people.
Feathers on their feet too.
I get very attached to dogs. No other animal loves you like a dog.
Thanks for pinging the list in #20, OneVike!

Did he crow early each morning?
I believe he did.

On the front porch swing? - or the front porch sofa?
