Animals
Today I had to take my doggie, Stella to the vet for her yearly check up and vaccinations. Everything went well with Stella, she's fantastic even when she's getting her shots. The vet is really nice and we talked with her about how the vet office was shown on Animal Planet's Animal Cops and all that. Then Cos mentioned how we are considering adopting another puppy and how I'm saying we're not ready, etc, etc. Well the vet was saying we should check out these 6 week old puppies they are keeping until they're ready for adoption.
Oh. My. God.
They were adorable, of course, but they were also very beautiful. They were pit bull mixes- my favorite.
Anyway, I fell in love, but until Cos gets a job and one that isn't contract, I don't think we can do that for now. But who knows.
But then I said, let's go visit the rescue group where we adopted Stella from. We've been there recently, and I was fine the last time I was there. But this time, this time, I was really touched. My heart hurt. There were all these puppies, babies who needed help, who needed some attention, who just needed a couch to lounge on and have the bellies scratched. And they all looked at me with those eyes begging and pleading me to take them home- and here I am- and I can't.
I was brought to tears. I came back to the front where Cos and Stella were waiting for me, and I just started to cry. If I only could just take all them home, but I know that I can't. But, I think I may be adopting another one soon. Stella would definitely be happy with a little sister or brother and I would be happy having a bigger family.
I have always been one for adopting from rescues and the like, because why should I pay exorbitant amounts of money for a pure breed dog that will have lots of health problems (no offense to those who have the pure breds, VK) when I can have a loving and beautiful baby who needs a home.
I'm still all shook up and moved.
All those babies, not just babies- all those animals who need homes. I think I need to find a way to help some more.
