Top 10 Reasons; never adopt!

Reasons NOT to adopt a shelter pet for animal rescue week.

1. They start by making you come home regularly to let them “potty.” Who wants to be responsible?
2. You legit have to pet them, or they sigh at you because they love you so much and you’re their world
3. Sometimes they’ll do things like throwing a toy at your cellphone just to get noticed.
4. THEY MAKE YOU EXERCISE. You genuinely feel like a POS if you don’t take your pet out multiple times a day to smell the grass and other animals’ butts.
5. After all that, they make you liable. You can’t live on the edge when you have children.
6. First, they want the end of your bed, and by the time they’ve gotten what they want, they already have started to take up the whole bed
7. When you read the news and your blood pressure starts rising, and fear takes over, you want to play fetch. Right there. Right then.
8. You have to say goodbye at some point, and it’s a hard pill to swallow, but the lessons learned are beyond necessary they’re fundamental values.
9. They make you freak out, thinking they ate something off your floor.
10. They put up with you. Even when you can’t face yourself anymore. They keep you on a good track. They can replace bad habits. Resilient. They know it, they “apologize” when you get mad and it’s not even at them. Did I mention they never love you less? They fully dedicate their lives to you. Clingy.

Sometimes your cat face times your friends dogs.

Animals have personalities. Some don’t believe this, but they do. Cats and dogs are constantly speaking to you. For mental health awareness and pet adoption and rescue month, let’s talk about all the rescue dogs who’ve saved my life. Those dogs and cats I’ve rehomed to better homes or fostered or taken on cause someone couldn’t have been the spark in my life, and they give me a purpose. Protect them and help them as they have me. Cause in your darkest hour, you will find yourself alone, lifehack: you’re never lonely when you have a dog.

Come on, and I don’t just like dogs cause they’re cute. I need a dog because they’re your partners.

Did I mention they fall asleep on you sometimes and then you can’t get up and you have to calm down, cuddle, and go back to bed.

Picture proof that rescue dogs are awful! Just the worst.

Get up? Not today! Dog is too cute to wake up. Morning breath is real though.

The “attention seeker”

05.06.2022 pet of the day- dale The French bulldog. Found on petfinder.com

Okay I guess I’m gonna have to snuggle you oddly or just sit elsewhere? Too cute to move you.

Okay how did we get from being allowed on the foot of my bed to sharing the bed to full bed takeover. But still too cute to wake up! Wtf

Yeah you’re gonna need an iPhone. When they’re too cute to move all you can do is take really good pictures of their cute faces.

The two species pretend they aren’t a team. But than they are both too cute too move. Sleeping in the middle like a cuddle sandwich.

If you have a dog with guard like personality traits they’ll stare at nothing all day long just to protect you. If they don’t move they just grow from the grass🤷

They love car rides. Not statistically speaking cops don’t wanna fck with the dog😛

Better like doing laundry. That fur does not remove itself

Seriously can’t get up today, dogs on me. Work will understand.

Besides forcing your bad habits into good ones and testing / teaching your core values, many dogs and cats are euthanized every day. Idiots.

They are however much work you invest in them. Some dogs are very personable, and others (pitty) are big giant babies. They’re unique. Mutts are the best.

Every day this month, I will post a story about a dog I’ve fostered or an animal-related / veterinary-related blog. Shoot me a pic of your furball!

No time like the present to save a pet.

This blog is a satire- yes, yes, you should always adopt, and yes, you need an animal.

Not sure if a pet is suitable for you? Ask your closest friends and family. If they say you should get a dog, you’re likely annoying them with your loneliness.

Lastly, you are to continue to adopt even when your best friend has passed because a dog’s love teaches you unconditional love and forgiveness; that is what you do. You commit to loving something for 10-14 years. It’s not so bad.

For Gertrude; Our Last Day

My journey with Gertrude hasn’t been easy. It’s been one of the most difficult and biggest life changing experiences of my life.

When I picked her up from a transport rescue who had traveled to Texas, Louisiana, and Arkansas I had no idea what I was in for. Her need for a foster seemed so desperate. 

Gertrude tested positive for heartworm the day I got her. She immediately saw the doctor the following Wednesday (three days later ) where she was diagnosed as terminal. The worms had been inside her heart for too long, and killing them would kill her. Her heart and liver were enlarged and she was diagnosed grave or terminal. She had such a heavy worm burden they warned me she could drop dead at any second. 

The rescue made it my choice to either foster her until death (one to three weeks). Since she was in discomfort my other option was to euthanize her that week. I chose euthanasia.

They scheduled to euthanize Gertrude a few days later. In those few days, I realized so much from her. Just because she was dying doesn’t mean she is dead. 

I couldn’t put her down. I knew if I did it would be because I didn’t want an old, scared, dying, and untrained dog in my house. I’m a dog lover, it’s my civic duty to save all lives, even the terminally ill ones.

I decided I was going to cure Gertrude: if you think that’s how the story ends it doesn’t. it hasn’t ended yet: her appointment is tomorrow at 4:15 pm. I researched heartworm like a nerd in a library and tried many techniques. I reached out to everyone I could and every veterinarian I knew from work and all confirmed her grave diagnosis. 

When I finally accepted her fate, I decided; I wanted to keep her alive as long as I could. The problem is the terminal illness no matter how healthy she becomes is still terminal. Manifesting in her blood stream and heart the warm burden is too heavy and she is in extreme discomfort having her heart sacrificed to the worm burden. 

For weeks I have prepped her meals full of proteins and nutrients to put some weight on her and gave her cough tablets, supplements, and pumpkin seeds in hopes of “paralyze” any worms. For two, almost three weeks Gertrude did great. Her strength was up, she had slept off years of uncomfortable sleep, and she seemed less depressed. I sort of fell in love with her personality the more she showed me how much she wanted to be a dog. Her personality radiates strong even though she appears weak. She’s a survivor. First time playing with a ball Debating whether or not to trust the food I feed Her finding out there were so many toys she could eat Located the toy bin She’s in my spot 

She started moving from one side of the couch to where I sat. I couldn’t tell if she was trying to take over or if she was bored of her toy/blanket/fort 

Until she let me take a selfie. I realized she was shy, and she was just not sure she could trust meThat might’ve been one of the best days of both of our lives

I didn’t resent her for not trusting me. I don’t think I fully trusted her. I would sleep on the couch just to make sure she didn’t go to the bathroom (but she would inevitably do anyways when I was asleep) it wasn’t until my body gave up from exhaustion that I went to my room, a room she was not allowed in, and I slept and slept and slept some more. 

I realized all she wanted was to go into my room. It was something she’s never done and wasn’t allowed to do. I refused to let her come in and lay on my bed. I didn’t want potty accidents in that one area of my home. I would have continued to not let her have my boyfriend not caught this image of us while I was asleep. 

From That moment on we immediately trust each other. She never went potty in the forbidden room. To this moment she hasn’t. 

We still spend every second together. We don’t leave the bedroom and every hour is sleep hour. 

at this moment she can trust me I can trust her. 

Knowing when the right time to put her down and working in veterinarian feeling like I should know when the right time is one of the hardest emotional struggles I’ve ever faced. I woke up to her coughing and I laid there. At that moment I start crying as I realize there’s never a right time. There will never be a good time to put her down. S

o, the choice has been made because if I were her and I was suffering I would want her to put me down before I suffered anymore as long as I at least lived a happy life for a little bit.

I don’t want her to be in any more pain ever again. To die happy with me is what she would want, its what any dog would. Holding on to her past her expiration date only ruins any good that I had done. She’s had enough years of suffering. 

So here we spend our last night together and she rests peacefully. If people think that an old, used-up dog isn’t worth their time then they are missing out on a very eye-opening, emotional, and bittersweet event. Not one thing, no dog, no species, is worth nothing. We all deserve a good life. Even if it’s just for a little bit. 

I will forever hold this dog in my heart. She broke down a wall I had by showing me hers. Words can’t describe the immense sadness I feel. I hope everyone can learn from this experience. Life is short, trust is earned and it’s okay to talk about death. Death is a part of life. Old dogs know the best tricks and saying goodbye never feels good. It doesn’t feel good even though its right. Me being there for her during is as important as any other part of our adventure together. She can trust me until the very end. I’m going to miss my friend

How can you tell if a pet store gets their pets from a puppy mill?

How to Identify puppy farmla dog breeders and backyard breeders.

“Puppy mills are commercial breeding facilities that mass-produce dogs (and cats in cat mills) for sale through pet stores or directly to consumers through classified ads or the Internet. Roughly 90 percent of puppies in pet stores come from puppy mills.” – PAWS – resources puppy mills

PAWS › resources › puppy-mills

As horrible as puppy mills are, the ASPCA estimates that there are still more than 10,000 of them in the United States alone. If you want to make sure that your next puppy isn’t coming from a puppy mill, keep an eye out for the following ten signs:

1. The puppies come from out-of-state – particularly Midwestern states like Missouri and Illinois.
2. The puppy’s parents are not kept in the same facility, and you cannot see them before buying.
3. The breeder wants to meet somewhere else if you request a visit to their facility.
4. The facility offers several different breeds – reputable breeders focus on one or two species.
5. The breeder has multiple litters available at the same time.
6. Neither the parents nor the puppies have been appropriately vaccinated.
7. The breeder makes extreme promises about the puppy’s size, temperament, or other quality.
8. The puppies may smell like a kennel, and they are likely to have low coat quality.
9. The breeder doesn’t ask you to fill out any kind of contract or spay/neuter agreement.
10. The puppy is under eight weeks of age or appears to be much younger than the breeder claims.

Unfortunately, if something on this list is right about the puppy you are thinking about buying, a puppy mill breeder is unlikely, to be honest about it. For example, a puppy mill breeder might offer you papers and a license for your puppy, but if you look more closely, you may be able to tell that it is fake. If at any point the breeder doesn’t appear to be forthcoming about information regarding the puppy, its parents, or the breeding facilities, it is a big red flag. Not only should you avoid buying from this breeder, but you should also report him to the ASPCA or the Humane Society.

Buying a puppy from a pet store is a significant risk for several reasons. For one thing, many of the puppies sold in pet stores come from puppy mills, and it is straightforward to fake the papers or registration that pet store owners use to convince you that it is not so. If you want a puppy, consider adopting from a shelter or go through a reputable breeder.

Quora Q&A: What are some sad facts about life?

The question asked was, “What are some sad realities of life?” On my quora partnership profile.

Le Poo Facts Of Life

• In 1986, a volcanic lake in Cameroon, Africa, burped a C02 gas cloud that killed 1,746 people in minutes.

• Prosopagnosia, also known as face blindness, means you cannot recognize people’s faces. It often affects people from birth and is usually a problem a person has for most or all of their life.
• Hinterkaifeck was a small German farm north of Munich. One night in 1922, all six inhabitants of the farm were murdered with a hatchet. The crime was never solved, and people believed the farm was haunted.

• Wal-Mart averages a profit of $1.8 million every hour.

• Expectant fathers can sometimes experience a sympathetic pregnancy with symptoms like backache, weight gain, strange food cravings, and nausea. This has also been found to happen in some species of monkeys.

• There are more than 2,000,000 millionaires in the United States.

• 20% of small businesses fail in their first year, 30% of small businesses fail in their second year, and 50% of small businesses fail after five years in business. Finally, 70% of small business owners fail in their 10th year in business.

• In America, you will see an average of 5,000 advertisements a day. The number one reason why businesses fail is there is no market need.

• There is a connective tissue disease that turns your muscles into bones. There is a form of HPV that causes the body to morph into a tree trunk like texture.
• On deadly weapons: When someone has a gun in their home, it is 22 times more likely that the weapon to be used in a suicide or accidental shooting, rather than defense from invaders.
• On lonely: Research from the Netherlands shows that people who are addicted to shopping are in a “loop of loneliness.” They shop because they’re trying to fill a void of loneliness, but the shopping only causes them to feel more lonely.
• Animal welfare: In the United States, there are so many homeless dogs and cats that cannot find homes that 2.7 million of them are euthanized every year to make space in animal shelters. While it’s impossible to know the exact number, there is an estimated 70 million stray cats in the US alone. Additionally, 2021 alone has proven the real hate humans hold while there are many many many rescues currently trying to save stray frozen to death or near frozen to death dogs on the highways and back roads in southern states or bad areas. Texas is now having an uproar of homeless emaciated puppy mill loose dogs.
• Dolphins can kill themselves by simply drowning themselves. The famous tv star dolphin Flipper killed himself in front of his handler. Reports say the flipper was too depressed.
• Free Willy might not be worth watching if you knew that killer whales whose fin fold are mentally distressed whales.
• If you don’t marry your best friend, it won’t work. The love “chemical” is oxytocin: Oxytocin is a hormone that acts as a neurotransmitter. It plays a vital role in reproduction. In females, the hormone triggers labor and the release of breastmilk. Oxytocin will die down if you are just in lust. Eventually, when the honeymoon phase is over, if you don’t both work together to be in love, then it’s not likely to work. Simple things like smiling, cuddling, and deep hugs release oxytocin and build human trust bonds- necessary for child-raising.
• If you are on a hilly road and know that you might get butterflies, you most likely won’t get them anymore.
• In America, people choose their family over others for nearly everything. Studies show it’s because they expect something in return. Not because they feel their family is the right person for whatever said the situation
• In June, a 20-year-old boy thought he was 750,000 dollars in debt on the app Robinhood. He took his own life, thinking he could never live with that kind of debt. (Robinhood currently being sued)
• Half price books throw out their books. If they donate, it’s not much, and it’s an excellent place to dumpster dive.
