    What a great book, I’m fostering a shelter puppy now. My stepsister runs a no-kill shelter and they’re overrun with dogs right now so I’ve taken in a puppy for a week. She’s such a cutie! I’m not sure I’m going to be able to give her back in a week, but I already have two overgrown shelter dogs and my house is small. Talk to me in a week, I think my heart’s going to be broken.

  92. Linda Sturgeon says:

    What a great book

  93. Christina says:

    I rescued two cats myself; I was at Animal Control looking for a friend’s lost dog (just in case) and saw a young guy at the desk with two cardboard boxes in front of him and he was talking to the attendant and crying. He was saying that he wanted to board his cats there, and the Humane Society wouldn’t do it, but the lady was telling him that he could only pay $35 to have the cats euthanized (and he’d said one was blind!). He said his girlfriend was waiting in his van, crying too, and that they had boarded the cats there before. I stepped up and said I’d take them (even though I was allergic to cats! – if it didn’t work out for me I’d find someone else to take them!). The attendant said that we weren’t even allowed to talk about me taking them on their premises (not even in the lot outside!) and I said, “This is America, aren’t we allowed to talk ANYWHERE?”
    but then he and I moved out vehicles onto the street and he ssaid that he and his girlfriend were now living in his
    working van and were worried that the cats would be too cold in it! They said they would phone periodically but they phoned just twice (the girl, she was the one who was having the most trouble giving the cats away) and then I never heard from them again. The cats were named Jello and Skinny Momma so I knew the kids probably didn’t have much food! I renamed them Kittica and Cuddly Kitty, a daughter and her mother, and I proved NOT to be allergic to them because they were Russian Blue cats (I didn’t know these were non-allergenic). The daughter ALWAYS loved the mother and they would lie on the bed with their top and bottom feet touching in the shape of a heart! The mother passed away last year at the age of 14 (she was the blind one) and I still have Kittica.
