I sit here with my rescue dog and 3 rescue kitties and couldn't imagine my life without them. We have a theme with the cats all black or black and white. Our dog is a German Shepard mixed with only dog knows. They make our lives so much richer, sometimes I ask myself what we did to deserve so much love. Whenever I see someone with their designer dog whose cost would save so many lives I am torn because the pup needs love too but so many could have been helped with that vanity cost. The picture of the 2 sweet faces hurts my heart. I am soooo happy that they had a happy ending but so many more did not. One thing about DU the love of animals is the BEST! Keep sharing those pics!!!!
