Dogs Make Us Fabulous

It's so true that nothing can bring as much joy to your life as a pet.  For many of us pet owners, that answer is a dog.  A dog will be your best friend at all times. They will never stiff you with a tab, call you late at night completely drunk, crying about the one that got away or slip some of your more embarrassing secrets onto their Facebook page.  Simply put, as much money as we spend on animals in this country, it's not enough.  Pet stores account for the huge amount of puppy mill adoptions throughout the U.S.  If you haven't seen the footage, look for the episodes as aired on Oprah and done by Lisa Ling on the Internet.  It's horrifying what is being done in this country.  There is also a great article on dogster today offering some practical reasons not to use a pet store for finding your new best friend.  You can find the article after the link:  http://www.dogster.com/articles/10-Reasons-Not-to-Buy-a-Puppy-From-a-Pet-Store-213

Nothing will make you feel more fabulous than adding a pet to your life.  If you can do one good thing in your life, it would be to visit a shelter and give consideration to a dog or cat that has been abandoned and in desperate need for a new loving family.
