I really get upset when I see filthy or empty water bowls, much more common than you'd think .

My ***** (who's name oddly enough is '*****') is doing O.K., she likes to keep close when I'm working in the back yard but no longer comes indoors to sleep in my recliner with me .

I have a good local Vet., I only take them in for shots, take good care of your critters and they won't often need the Vet. .

Here I'm told the pounds are cleaned out of cats, always plenty of big dogs, I don't want even a medium sized dog .

All the pounds, here are closed but they're also supposedly actively looking for temporary 'pet foster care' people and a friend hooked me up with a woman who says she'll drive me to the pound so I can hopefully find a dog who wants to come home with me .
