We read on KISSA-BULL where Miss Sandra wrote "i'll never forget how alone i felt that night when i was screaming for help for my doggies and all i could hear from my neighbors was that us humans were safe and that they were just dogs" and were completely heartbroken.
These are people that obviously have never known the love of a pet. They don't understand the lengths that pet parents go to for the family members that they love. And yes they are family members. We made a conscience decision to not have 2 legged children. All of our kids have 4 legs and fur. Everyone that knows me knows this. There are many times when my friends are talking about the issues they have with their 2 legged kids and I say DOGS!!!
One of the many many things I love about our blog community is that it has connected me with so many like minded fur parents. People that understand spending thousands of dollars on surgery because you can't imagine time without your furry kids.
I have to admit that when I read the above and the comments from the other neighbor about burying them by the tree in the backyard. I was all ready to round up the Blogville Posse and head for Houston! So if anyone wants to join the Posse just let me know!
I know lately that a lot of our posts have been a bit melancholy so I wanted to end this on a fun note.
I'm sure that many of you have seen these in one form or another before but I wanted to share them again!
Notice to Guests At My House
1. The dogs lives here. You don't.
2. If you don't want the dog to be near you, stay off the furniture.
3. Yes, they have some disgusting habits. So do I, and so do you. What's your point?
4. OF COURSE they smell like a dogs.
5. It's their nature to try to sniff your crotch. Please feel free to sniff theirs.
6. I like them a lot better than I like most people.
7. He does THAT because he CAN!
8. To you they are dogs. To me they are adopted sons and daughters who are short, hairy, walk on all fours and don't speak clearly. I have no problem with any of these things.
9. Dogs are better than kids. They eat less, don't ask for money all the time, are easier to train, usually come when called, never drive your car, don't hang out with drug-using friends, don't smoke or drink, don't worry about whether they have the latest fashions, don't wear your clothes, don't need a gazillion dollars for university, and if they get pregnant you can sell the pups(Of course all of ours are spayed or neutered).

That was so sad.... I AM a part of our family -- not "just a dog"....I can't believe some people think that....
ReplyDeleteSome people will never understand...their loss. We can't imagine what Sandra went through. As you know we lost Kendra last week, but she was held by the one she loved and was too sick to know what was happening. She's coming home in a few days....in an urn, but she's coming home.

Those rules apply in our house, too.
No dog I know is just a dog. I can't believe someone would say something like that to someone going through THAT. Awful.

We all agree that was a very bad thing those neighbors said - some peeps don't use their heads or their hearts. But we are happy to be part of a group who has shown such tremendous support for Sandra and her family. It made us very sad when we received their Christmas card on the same day we learned of the fire, but now we have a wonderful photo memory of those five beautiful pups.

Some peoples are KER-azy! That's pretty much the only way I can explain why somebuddy would think that. And I kinda feel sorry for that lady cuz she'll never, ever know the kinda luvins we can give. But my mom, on the other paw, is ready to join the posse!
