Our Adopt-a-Pet at PetSense in Albemarle

We brought out the pups & kitties for adoption...apparently Debra thought she needed a new home also!

It is impossible to keep a straight face in the presence of one or more kittens.

UPDATE!!!

Vader with his new boy.

Did you know?

Puppies can't control their bladders overnight until they are at least four months old. Until then, cover the floor around the puppy's bed with newspapers.

UPDATE!!!

Thought you might want some updated pictures of the puppy (Linus aka Doby). He's doing really well adapting to his new home. I think he's really enjoying himself and he is 100% spoiled rotten already!! Hope you enjoy the pics!

Some People Are Just So Darn Crafty & Their Dogs Are So LUCKY!!

Here's some pictures of Joy (Sprayberry) with her new Popsicle Stand!

Why don't you do something?

I looked at all the caged animals in the shelter...the cast-offs of human society.
I saw in their eyes love and hope, fear and dread, sadness, and betrayal.
And I was angry.
"God," I said, "this is terrible! Why don't you do something?"
God was silent for a moment, and then spoke softly,
"I have done something," was the reply. "I created you."
