Poor Doggies

So, tonight like most nights I lay here in bed watching WFAA news. Well, tonight I had forgotten to submit an email, and had to do that tonight. After watching a story on WFAA I had to blog. They aired a story about animal shelters. If you have known me for any amount of time you know I LOVE animals. The number of dogs in shelters is drastically higher now than ever due to the economy, and most of the dogs are owner release. Shelters are putting down at least 40 dogs a day. This broke my heart. Both of my dogs are shelter dogs that someone didn't want. I cant imagine having to give them up, and knowing that they are then put down. During the story they put two dogs down. I cried like a baby!

I know things get difficult, but I hope people who saw this story think about this when it comes time to get a pet. There are a TON of people who only buy "pure" bred dogs, and there are plenty of dogs in shelters waiting for a good home.

Had to get this out! Thanks for listening!
