Hi Sharon, LOL, I love that ...... you being in the cat box more than they are! ROFLMAO We have horrible animal abuse here too which is why I no longer volunteer. I cannot handle it. I think it's great that you do it and others like you that find it in your hearts to do so. It's so very.... very hard. I had to get out of it for my own well being but I hope you can continue as people like you are so very much needed. My hats off to you. I wish you well in all your endeavours. Pam

But I DO like it when they come in and say something like..."WOW...you have 5 cats in here? I don't smell anything"....lol...well...could that possibly be that I'm in the litter box more than they are...scooping and washing it? LOL...I think the best way for animals NOT to get sick is to keep them healthy to begin with...so..I clean a lot...It does get a little tiring every time I go to leave the house I have to take a lint brush and get the hair off my dark colored clothes...if I'm at home..I don't care...I do sweep my floors...carpet and tile a lot...also sweep off the cat tree and cat house...I try to keep the hair down so no one develops a breathing problem. I'm so sorry to hear about your rescue dog. Sometimes I can't stand people. I volunteer for a local humane society and we see so much cruelty towards animals...mostly cats here...that it makes me sick...and cry!We've rescued several cats over the years that have been shot with arrows...some were beat till their heads were split open..kids were caught trying to drown kittens in a ditch...one of the cats I rescued recently had an embedded collar in here neck...poor baby is missing some of the fur around her neck. We've had dogs that have been shot...kicked..thrown...animals thrown from cars...rescued bait dogs...I will NEVER be able to understand how one living thing ( a human) could inflict so much pain and torture on another living thing...be it another human or a poor animal~~~Thank God for all the decent people like us who actually care and make a difference~~~Sharon ----- Original Message ----- From: Pam Havard To: [email protected] Sent: Saturday, December 22, 2007 12:52 AM Subject: RE: [Chihuahuas] This Group The people I really like are just like me. If anyone comes into my house and is bothered by the dogs, it's made clear that the dogs live here and they don't. They can leave at any time. Am I crazy? Maybe. But I much prefer my animals and those few that I have found that are the same. Someone shot one of my rescue dogs 11 months ago and I offered a $1000.00 reward and unfortunately still have not found him. You wouldn't believe the outpouring of people that came out of the woodwork that were on my side. I was overwhelmed by it. There are more of us out there than you think so why settle for less?

Or they'll give you a disgusted look and say...How many animals do you have??? I'd like to tell them ...well...never mind...lol...but my animals bring me a lot of joy...don't get me wrong...I like people too...lol...but I've been messed over so many times by people...but never animals...and my little male Chihuahua Sox is the most loyal little dog I have ever owned! He's such a good boy.I really like volunteering for the humane society because it just makes me feel so good when I can help a homeless or abused animal...or get a lost one back to it's owner...my animals are treated like kids...our kids are grown and we hardly ever see them. My cat that passed away in April was VERY special to me...like I said...I cry everyday over her...I'll never forget her.I used to take her to the studio and have her pictures taken with Santa...the Easter Bunny and at other times...I have had animals my entire life and have NEVER been as bonded to any animal like I was her...I would never leave her over night...she was so special..and when she had surgery I had to go in and hand feed her...she was such a sweetheart...she was very bonded to me...me and Sox are pretty much bonded like that...he's a mommas boy...he's two and a half years old now...I hope he lives a happy.. healthy life into his twenties!~~~ Yep...I would never get rid of my animals either...when they come here ...they never leave...but that's not a bad thing! I'm also known as "The Crazy Cat Lady"...lol lol...that's ok by me...All my cats are rescues...and I take care of strays...I LOVE cats...Cats...Chihuahuas and Cooking...Three of my main passions!~~~Sharon ----- Original Message ----- From: Pam Havard To: [email protected] Sent: Friday, December 21, 2007 11:30 PM Subject: RE: [Chihuahuas] This Group Same here Sharon, I prefer my animals to most humans. I have 8 dogs in the house and wouldn't have it any other way!
