Ok, first, thanks for the cry!
Secondly . . .I, also, can NEVER go to things like that at all . . .I don't go to animal shelters either . . .way too emotional and sad seeing them all there just looking out at you and wondering . . ."is she here to get me?" I went to a local pound years ago with a friend because she wanted to adopt a cat . . .while it was a happy occasion for her, for me, I found it down right depressing . . .to get to the cat area you had to walk by the dog area . . .and most of them were adult dogs. I tried not to look, but it was hard not to. Nobody, I think, wants to see animals in that situation at all . . .I can't even watch those sad pet commercials that they throw on tv unexpectantly . . .
But on the same token, there are people out there that rescue these poor guys and foster them so they can get the proper homes . . .I like to think that they all get the homes they deserve and that someone is loving them they way I love my babies . . .unconditionally, no matter if they have an accident on the floor or chew on a shoe, etc . . .
