Someone was at my house a week ago, right before my Winona litter arrived at my door, and asked me why I am doing this. They asked, “don’t you just want to relax?” I didn’t have an answer for them at the time, but now I do.
Why? Because life is short. What else do I have to do besides raise my kids and save these animals? What more could there possibly be to life than that? What greater experience could there be out there somewhere in the world than THAT?
Also, I just lost my dad and my last two dogs real close together, and I am offended by death. This is my way of getting back at the world and fighting the good fight. This is my way of saying, “hah, Devil, you cannot win. You’re going to take my dad and my precious dogs? Well, I’ll just save dozens, maybe even hundreds or thousands, of lives then.” My husband and I are also exploring the process of adopting children.
Do I get anxiety about not finding these pets homes? Oh, yeah. But I know that there are people like me out there who are desperate to make a difference, whatever the cost. These people and God are the ones I entrust my hope to.
These are my people now.
Rescue a little dog from the street, and you will rescue yourself.
Wow. I have to say reading your heartfelt post was both inspiring and sad at the same time. Half of what you wrote could've been written by my daughter, who cares deeply for these animals. She's a vet tech and now has about 10 cats because she refuses to say no to baby kittens without homes that would die without immediate care. But boy, it's not easy. It takes a special person to do what you do & it costs your heart & pocketbook a lot . It's her dream to have a place like yours to save animals at. Thank you for doing what you do!!💖💖💖
