The number of animals that have be destroyed is truely heart breaking. That is why I am a firm advocate of spaying and neutering pets. Rikki Tikki will be having the neutering proceedure done soon.
I have to confess that I can't stand going to the local humane society. It absolutely breaks my heart to see all those poor critters on death row. I want to adopt them ALL, and of course I can't. Last time I went there, I was depressed for days afterwards, so I found Rikki by an ad in the classifieds.
I'll be adding to my animal family in December when I expect to go down to the airport and pick up my new Cardigan Welsh Corgi pup. This pup too will in short order take a trip to the vet's to be spayed. I adore Cardigan Corgi's - they are wonderful dogs, and you will never ever find one at the pound.
I think the truly important message to get out is the necessity of spaying and neutering. Just by doing this for one dog and one cat, I will single-handedly prevent as many as 60 puppies and 100 kittens from being born only to be killed. So, I'm OK with getting my pets from other places.
(Tonchi, I love it! Rikki Rikki Tabby! LOL! And yes, Rikki will be an indoor cat.)
