- What can she possibly be thinking about
I told myself when I started writing this blog that I would not do stuff like this. But I think I will and I won’t make apologies. My wife, myself, our dog and six cats are inside on this blustery cold night. We are all well fed and warm.
Sequoia is very lucky, if she wants to get out of the snow, the wet and the cold she certainly can. If she takes one step backwards she is out of the falling snow as she is on a covered deck. A few more steps backwards and she can jump onto her lounge chair. She also knows that if she wants in the house all she has to do is let out a few howls and we would let her come inside. The simple fact is she likes to be out in the snow and the cold. She is after all, a husky, and this is the season of the husky. One shake of the coat and all that snow is gone. Slip your hand past the guard hairs and she is dry. During this season you can’t even feel her skin due to the thickness of her undercoat. If you call her she just turns her head and gives you the ‘come on let’s go play in the snow look’ She will not go hungry and there is always clean water available for her.
Not all dogs and cats are this lucky. There are thousands of dogs and cats suffering out there without homes, they don’t have fresh water or a steady supply of food they can’t get out of the elements and they are without a voice. The majority are alone and unwanted. Please take a moment and give them a thought. If you are a pet owner and have not yet had your pet spayed or neutered then get it done, tomorrow. Believe it or not your pet does not need to experience parenthood, that is your ego, your emotion not your pets. Truth is there are enough pets already out there for everybody to own numerous times over. Don’t deny them that chance by just adding to the pet population, adding to the problem. If you are looking for a pet then adopt one from the SPCA or any shelter. Want a purebred? Guess what for every breed of dog there is a rescue organization that deals exclusively with that particular breed. Not only are they purebreds they are a fraction of the cost and more important they need a home. Please don’t be a part of the problem, contemplating a pet? Excellent, but be a part of the solution.
