That's wonderful that you live in a place you can be proud of. I wish I
were so lucky. It's pretty Hellish in my neighborhood. The people that
rented next door had a Pit Bull that they kept tied in the back yard
night and day. The highlight of his day was when I would toss him milk
bones, flip chips and chicken jerky over the fence. Poor guy, I did my
best to educate and illuminate, but my head is bloody from banging it
against the brick wall that is my neighborhood's attitude toward
animals. These people moved out over the weekend, taking the dog with
them. I feel terrible that he won't even have my small kindnesses
anymore, but relieved that they are gone. My relief was short lived.
This afternoon I noticed a Pit Bull puppy in the yard. Just a baby,
left in the yard all by himself. I hope it was the owner of the house
who left him there for the day and not a new resident. Sometimes life
gets very discouraging.

I'm also VERY confident that Vermont will be the first state in the
USA to ban Ear Cropping on dogs. This is a HUGE measure, because once
we get Ear Crops banned, it's only a matter of time until we get
DECLAWING on CATS banned! We're pounding away at our animal cruelty
laws every session, trying to improve the lives of Vermont's animals.
Sorry, just had to brag, I LOVE where I live and the people here! If
it CAN be done, then Vermont will always be one of the first in line
getting it done in our legislature. We weren't able to get it
past House last session, but you can be sure we'll be right back at it
this coming session, after the fall elections. It's already passed in
the Senate, a HUGE step! (we're also in deep discussion and making
real progress on a universal health care plan for ALL citizens of
Vermont, which means there will be NO uninsured people in Vermont,
regardless of income)
