Thoughts?

If I had to use one word....Idiotic.

When will people stop the stupid nonsense that they do to and inflict on animals and just appreciate their inherent beauty, what and who they are? 

 

"You cannot strengthen the weak by weakening the strong.
You cannot help small men by tearing down big men.
You cannot help the poor by destroying the rich.
You cannot lift the wage earner by pulling down the wage payer.
You cannot keep out of trouble by spending more than your income.
You cannot further the brotherhood of man by inciting class hatreds.
You cannot establish security on borrowed money.
You cannot build character and courage by taking away a man's initiative and independence.
You cannot help men permanently by doing for them what they could and should do for themselves."

A sweater to keep a little chihuahua warm is one thing, but no dog needs a prom dress!

OMG this line just made me laugh so hard!  I love it...no dog needs a prom dress!  ICAM!

LOL - Wish I'd just pulled that one out of a hat - but one of DD's friends had her prom dress made this year - and paid the seamstress $40 to make a prom dress for her yorkie out of the leftover material.  Good grief! LOL  Thankfully, my DD's dogs are big girls, and don't deal well with clothes. :D

I will have to admit to having a few cute sweaters for Missy though - when it gets below about 20 degrees in the winter time, she refuses to go outside to potty without a sweater on... and if hubby insists on it, she stands there shivering something horrible while she's trying to pee.  Her back fur is about 1/4 inch long, so it isn't very good at keeping her warm when it gets really cold out. Her belly and legs are nearly naked the fur is so short.
