Blessed Are The Beasts

I love animals. When I am watching a movie, a hundred people can die and it doesn't effect me like when a trusted pet or animal companion dies. As far as I am concerned the movie is over and it was a stupid movie. Dances with wolves, when they killed off 2 socks, I was practically in tears...ok I was in tears....Hancock, when the German Shepherd got killed, it was painful for me. Especially since I have 2 German Shepherds.
Lately, much to my husbands disaproval, I have been looking in the pet section on Craigslist. Why, I don't know. It is just so hard to see people abandoning their pets. This particular article touched my heart:
Someone dumped this sweet baby out near us and by the time she found her way to us... and when my son tried to run her off. She was sooo malnurished and weak she collapsed. He took her to the house and fed her and bed her down for the night. The next morning she gave birth to 4 dead puppies. just pitiful. She carried one around for hours before she would let us have it without it making her panic>We figured she had been through enough so we decided to keep her for a couple of weeks get some weight on her and her feeling better again and find her a home. This girl is the sweetest thing! We have had her here over 3 months now and haven't seen a mean hair on her! Her tail is always spinning in a spiral whenever she see you! lol She loves to give kisses and wants to be next to you all the time. She is sooo snuggly and sweet! She has been in the house since the cold weather and is potty trained. Please give her a home she is around 30 pounds, she's not a tiny little dog but by not a big dog for sure. She is probably a little shorter than the average knee high. Her coat feels like a lab. She is black with brindle gold markings on her face and legs. Such a sweet face and and deserves to live the rest of her life with love!! Oh and she has been around a 3yr old while she has been here and has been awesome with her! She gets along fantastic with our 5 big dogs 6 cats and 4 horses! Thanx for lookin!! This was from the craigslist in Dallas.
I pray for the neglected animals of this earth. They are so willing to give their all for us. I also pray for the Lord to use me to help them. When someone loses their pet and are so distraught that they feel they can not get another or they feel they are too busy, I can't help but think how selfish they are if they are able to feed and love a pet, they should suck it up and give a homeless pet a good life. The life they could give them is better than what they have now. No animal deserves to die hungry, alone, and unloved. I tried to download a picture of her but was unable to. I hope and pray she finds a good home. I hope the Lord blesses the people who took her in and loved her, if just for a little while.
