- 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.

Hello! We know Sequoia & Denyce from Pet Talk, stopped by to say hi & welcome to blogdom. Went back to “Part 1” and read everything up to this point. Love the stories! Sequoia looks great! There’s just nothing prettier than a husky in the snow.
Do stop by our blog sometime, we post a few times a week and have quite a nice circle of Sibes and others who comment regularly. I know they’d love to meet Sequoia & read about her adventures.
a-roos to yous,

Thanks for stopping over. I’m going to check out your blog now.
I’m reading a book that your sister loaned me “Julie and Julia” about Julia Child and a girl named Julie who decides to decides to make everything in Julia’s cookbook. Its been made into a movie.
Now, you may be wondering what this possibly has to do with you or your blog. She had one line in it that made me think of you and I had a good laugh. You see, Julia wrote a daily blog about her cooking experiences and she had to say this about blogs and I quote.”…the surprise is that for every person who’s got something to say, it seems that there are at least a few people who are interested. Some of them aren’t even related.”
I just thought you’d get a kick out of it.
Yeah, mom? I actually cited that quote here a few months ago…
Excellent post, and yes agree on all counts… lots of dogs out there who need good homes!
You know, not every human needs to experience parenthood, either…
I stumbled onto your blog and read a few post. I like your style of writing.
Good morning, I often read your blog.I love it, Keep up the good work. Have you ever thought about blogging for money? there is a website http://www.abused-pets.com that pays you to write articles, you would be good at it.
I’m certainly glad you enjoy my blog. I’ve considered blogging for money, who hasn’t? I did visit the site and it certainly is informative and I have it listed in my favourites. I don’t write on too much animal abuse although I am involved in that we help out rescue organizations. Nor do I see any information on the site about being paid to blog. But I will keep it in mind.
Again, thanks for reading and your wonderful comment.
