SEPTEMBER IS RESPONSIBE PET OWNERSHIP MONTH, WHAT DOES IT MEAN TO YOU?

 HEY GUYS, 🐾

DID YOU KNOW THAT SEPTEMBER IS RESPONSIBLE DOG OWNERSHIP MONTH? WE MAY BE HALFWAY THROUGH THE MONTH, BUT WE CAN STOP AND ACKNOWLEDGE WHAT IS TAKES TO BE A RESPONSIBLE DOG OWNER. SO I AM GOING TO LET YOU HEAR FROM THE HORSES MOUTH (MY MOM'S) WITH HER COMMENTARY:

BEING A RESPONSIBLE DOG OWNER MAY NOT BE FOR EVERYONE, BUT FOR ME I CAN'T IMAGINE MY LIFE WITHOUT MY TWO DOGS. THEY HAVE BEEN MY CONSTANT COMPANIONS SINCE THEY WERE PUPPIES. I THINK BACK TO WHEN I FIRST GOT EACH ONE AND I REMEMBER THE SLEEPLESS NIGHTS TAKING THEM OUT FOR THEIR MANY BATHROOM BREAKS. I WOULD PRAY THAT AS TIME WENT ON, THEY WOULD NEED TO GO TO THE BATHROOM LESS AND LESS. YES, THIS IMPROVED, BUT NOW THEY ARE SENIORS, SO I AM BACK TO SQUARE ONE WITH THE SEVERAL BATHROOM BREAKS. OH WELL, KIND OF LIKE US WHEN WE GET OLD! THEN, WE WORKED ON THEIR TRAINING SUCH AS SIT, STAY, DOWN, COME AND THEY DID WELL. WE EVEN WENT TO TRAINING CLASSES! BUT, I HAVE TO LAUGH BECAUSE WHEN SOMEONE COMES TO VISIT, IT'S AS IF ALL BETS ARE OFF AND THEY DON'T HAVE A CLUE WHAT THEY WERE TAUGHT. THEN THERE WERE THOSE LONG WALKS WHEN MY LEGS WERE GOOD (DAD WALKS YOU NOW)!

I REMEMBER AS THEY GREW, TESTING OUT DIFFERENT DOG FOODS THAT THEY BOTH WOULD EAT AND STILL THEY ARE PICKY! NOTHING THAT A LITTLE DOG TREAT WON'T CURE IN THEIR KIBBLE. I THINK ABOUT HOW I HAVE AND STILL COAX EACH NERVOUS DOG INTO THE VET'S OFFICE FOR THEIR CHECK UPS AND SHOTS. THEIR FEAR IS LEFT IN TONS OF HAIR ON THE DOG BLANKET IN MY CAR! OH, AND THE GROOMER IS ANOTHER STORY AS EACH ONE COMES HOME ANNOYED, BUT BOY DO THEY LOOK AND SMELL GOOD. THEN THERE ARE THOSE DAYS WHEN THROUGH NO FAULT OF THEIR OWN, THEY GET SICK IN THE HOUSE OR HAVE AN ACCIDENT. IT ALWAYS SEEMS TO HAPPEN WHEN YOU NEED TO GO SOMEWHERE AND YOU'RE IN A HURRY! BUT YOU CAN'T BE ANGRY WHEN YOU SEE THE SAD LOOK IN THEIR FACE AS IF TO SAY "MOM, I REALLY DIDN'T MEAN IT", YOU JUST CLEAN IT UP AND GO ON!

I WON'T DENY THAT IT’S A LOT OF WORK TO BE A RESPONSIBLE DOG OWNER, BUT THE BENEFITS ARE SO WELL WORTH IT! I LOVE WHEN EACH ONE WIGGLES UP TO ME FOR HUGS AND KISSES OR DANCES WITH ME IN THE KITCHEN TO A FUN SONG. NO MATTER WHAT HAPPENS, THEY ALWAYS SEEM TO COMFORT ME OR BRIGHTEN MY DAY. THEY HAVE ME WRAPPED AROUND THEIR LITTLE PAW AND THEIR IMPRINTS ARE DEEP IN MY HEART. I WILL ALWAYS LOVE THEM DEARLY AND BE WITH THEM TO THE END.

SO, IT YOU DON'T WANT TO PUT IN A LITTLE WORK AND REAP THE BENEFITS OF UNCONDITIONAL LOVE, THEN DON'T GET A DOG. BUT IF YOU DO, YOU MAY BE GLAD YOU DID!

LOVE YOU CHEWY AND CIENA! 💕

"A PLEA FOR ANIMAL RESCUE"

 HEY GUYS! 🐾

HERE IS A COMMENTARY FROM MY MOM!

I FREQUENTLY LOOK AT THE FACEBOOK PAGES OF VARIOUS SHELTERS, LOCAL AND OUT OF STATE. RECENTLY, I READ A POST ON THE FACEBOOK PAGE OF "FRIENDS OF NORTHERN OCEAN COUNTY ANIMAL FACILTY" WRITTEN BY "TRINA & FRIENDS K-9 RESCUE", ENTITLED:  "HEATBREAKING REALITIES OF 2023: A PLEA FOR ANIMAL RESCUE".

THE POST IS AN INSIGHTFUL LOOK INTO THE WORLD OF ANIMAL RESCUE AND THE CRISIS THAT HAS BEEN BUILDING OVER THIS PAST YEAR. IT TELLS OF THEIR CHALLENGES AND FRUSTRATIONS IN LOSING COUNTLESS INNOCENT LIVES. THIS IS DUE IN PART TO THE LACK OF EDUCATION REGARDING RESPONSIBLE PET OWNERSHIP, ALONG WITH HUMAN INDIFFERENCE. THEIR BATTLE IS ONGOING TO SAVE THOSE THAT CANNOT SPEAK FOR THEMSELVES. THEY NOTE, “THE WALLS OF SHELTERS OVERFLOW WITH ABANDONED SOULS, THEIR PLEADING EYES SILENTLY BEGGING FOR A SECOND CHANCE". 

ALL TOO OFTEN I SEE PICTURES OF DOGS IN DIFFERENT SHELTERS THAT ARE POSTED AS "TIMESTAMPED:" OR GIVEN A "EUTH COMMAND". THESE DOGS ARE ON DEATH ROW FREQUENTLY DUE TO LACK OF SPACE, OR MEDICAL ISSUES, OR BEHAVIORAL ISSUES. I LOOK AT THEIR PICTURES AND I SEE HOPE IN THEIR EYES WAITING FOR SOMEONE TO COME FOR THEM. SADLY, ALL TO OFTEN NO ONE COMES AND THEIR LIVES ARE LOST. THIS IS TRULY HEARTBEAKING.

SO, PLEASE TAKE A MOMENT AND GO TO “FRIENDS OF NORTHERN OCEAN COUNTY ANIMAL FACILITY’S” FACEBOOK PAGE AND READ THE POST BY “TRINA & FRIENDS K-9 RESCUE”. IT MAY TUG AT YOUR HEARTSTRINGS AND FILL YOU WITH A SENSE OF EMPATHY, AS IT DID WITH ME. I BELIEVE THERE ARE MANY UNSUNG HEROES IN ANIMAL RESCUE THAT DESERVE OUR GRATITUDE. HOPEFULLY, WHEN YOU READ THEIR POST, YOU WILL BE INSPIRED TO UNITE AND SUPPORT OUR RESCUES AND SHELTERS BY VOLUNTEERING, ADOPTING, OR FOSTERING.  BUT MOST IMPORTANT OF ALL, PLEASE SHARE THEIR MESSAGES ACROSS SOCIAL MEDIA TO BRING ATTENTION TO THOSE ANIMALS IN DESPARATE NEED!  REMEMBER, "IT TAKES A VILLAGE"!!

 THANK YOU!

CHEWY MAN'S MOM 🐶
