Feb and March are the worst months of the year as the delight in the Christmas puppies begins to wear thin. I wish “Santa” wouldn’t gift people with puppiess. I could tell stories that would curl your hair. I want to save them all and it’s painful to me to have to admit I can’t.
Dogs should never, ever, be given as a gift. Dogs at Christmas, ducks at Easter... and, of course, now that Marly and Me came out more people will want a lab with no clue what they are getting... thank God they are a mellow dog, but they are large and they have to eat! and food is another issue with me, I cringe at what some people feed their dogs.
When you feel bad that you can’t save them all just remember the story of the starfish on the beach. It matters to the one(s) you did save.
