I have also an incredible love and devotion to our Animal Kingdom, have a pet myself, and have taken in many rescues, there is nothing I won't do do help an animal. I have a beautiful most loving Maine Coon Male of 14.5 years who I love with all of my heart and soul, he is my Son and my family, he at present has Chronic Renal Failure and we pray that he will be with us for many years to come, this is a terrible disease. I have spent most of my savings getting him the best Vet care money can buy, and he has every creature comfort inagineable, he is my world! Please keep him in your thoughts and prayers for I cherish and treasure each and every moment and day I have with him.
When I read your story about the Husky and about the Collie I had tears in my eyes to hear about the love, compassion and empahty you have shown those animals, God Bless you, the world needs more people like this. I am so delighted that you called Animal Control Services, these types should never be allowed to have animals, and it so disturbs me to think of any Animal being owned by people like this. If she can afford a brand new SUV then she can afford to take care of her animal, that should be her first and foremost priority. You know I have always thought that the way a person treats an animal is the way they will treat a child, to even think of these people with children is so disturbing as well. Animals show such incredibly unconditional love, and are always there for you, they are God's gift to mankind. I couldn't even think of not having an animal to share my life with. Where I live, the Humane Society and SPCA are incredibly strict about who can have an animal, you have to fill out many many forms and prove your worthiness to be a recipient of their special love, this brings great comfort knowing that these animals will go to good and loving homes, that should always be the only way someone should be ever allowed to have an animal in my opinion. You brought such a smile to my face for all you have done to help these animals during a terribly sad time for me, after recently losing my Aunt and losing my Maine Coon's 2 brothers last year, all of them filled my life with a love so beautiful and rare. I have a memorial garden for my 2 beloved loving cats/Sons that passed on last year and light candles there in their honour, and a shrine in my house devoted to my Aunt, it brings great comfort to me, and I know that love lives with me and gives me strength to carry on.
It is so very heartwarming to know that there are others out there who love animals as I do, and those are the ones I want most to know and share company with. There are people who have no idea and no concern whatsoever what the love of an animal is like, and do not understand how my Maine Coon could be my Son, for those people I have no time, they do not understand, and I prefer to spend my time with people who share my love, empathy and compassion for animals.
For those who don't care about animals, one day when they need help no one will be there for them, and rightfully so. I have no tolerance for Animal, Child or Elder abuse and if you should be so terribly unfortunate to see it happening, it must always be reported, it is our duty to protect those who cannot protect themselves. God Bless them all!

I am pleased to be able to converse with all of you and it is so very heartwarming, and does my heart good to be a part of a group of people here that truly care. Long may you run! Long may the animals run!

Blessings,
