thy Thoughts

I've been browsing.
Around at the pets channel, mdm wong's, A.L.L & some webs.

I'm curious...
Why are so many dogs up for adoption these days?
Recession is 1 reason I'm NOT accepting.
Recession you say?
Explain to me the crowd in shopping malls.
Explain to me why so many people can afford to dine out.
Explain to me why people are rushing to sales?
In my POV, Recession as a reason is rubbish.

We seem to be in a need of fosterers more than ever.
We seem to be finding dogs on roadsides more often.
We seem to be seeing dog for free adoption more now than before.
Or maybe, a "ang bao".
But, who lies victim here?
Is it because we're human we get to fix their fate?
But why?
What have they done wrong?

Quoting from D, " There are no bad dogs. Just bad owners. "
If you don't teach your kid, would they have done the same things your dog have done?
If he's barky, have you done your best to help him just so he can be with you?
If your family disapproves, what have you done to convince them so he can stay?
If he isn't toilet trainned, how much patience have you put in just so he don't have to go?

I made a promise, regardless of how bad it gets, I'd NEVER give Prince up.
If I go bankrupt, I'd take him and hide under bridges, I'd eat with him from a dustbin.
Don't say I'm cruel to him, I'm sure, he'd rather stay by my side and endure all this then to go to a house w/o me.
Do you know what you are to your dog?
You're his world, his everything!
If you're gone, what's left for him?

At times like these, rehomers feel the financial strain faster than any of us.
We've got so many dogs to help.
We've got to pay for food, shealther and vet fees.

Shealther owners are feeling the pull as more people dump their dogs on them.
They're constainly cleaning up for the animals.
They're constainly on call that another injured dog's lying on the road.

But who? Who will understand?
Isn't SPCA all we're taught?
Yes, the perfect "dumping ground".
But while all pet shop owners are donating food, treats or items to them for sale, how many realize sometimes, SPCA is just a little to rich?
Comparing to A.L.L, mdm wong's, ASD ... They DON'T put the animals down.
imagine how many hundreds of animals need food.
But where do they get them?

I ask for a little help here.
Any amt, any item, any thing you have and you can afford to give.
Help them.
A pack of dog food that expires tomorrow.
A pack of treats that will be dumped if not sold.
Old clothes you have at home that you cann't wear anymore.
Free Smaples of floor cleaners, dish detergent.
Anything.
I'm sure, it'd come in handy.

If I had the time, I'd write in to every pet shop and request
any item that isn't important in your shop.
any item that you can afford to sell us at a lower price so we can re-sell it to raise funds.
help them help them
is it that difficult?
wouldn't it be bttr than ending up in a dumping ground?

I think, it's time pet owners start getting more responsible.
