Free - Puppies in Houston Area

Robin, me too! I have had little sleep the last couple nights, and I was bawling this morning thinking about those little guys being hurt.

I get more emotional with less sleep. It stormed here pretty bad last night and I got up and sat with momma all night so she wouldn't be scared. She's started to bleed a little in her urine and she has diarreah. (I'm hoping it's because she's adjusting to the food I've been giving her and not another problem.) She's also skin and bones. She has started to stand up and move around my kitchen and all her bones stick out - ribs, hips, shoulders...it's sad, really. I wonder what she's been living off of the last few months.

I have also been thinking I should become a vet, or animal rescue worker. I've had so many situations the last couple months that have been a big eye opener to me, and hints that I'm doing the wrong thing. But, then when I go into these shelters, it's so depressing. I really don't think that's the path for me. I think my gift is to take in the strays and make sure they get healthy. I hope I can find them a good home, but in the meantime, I've applied to foster animals at the SCPA website. I think THAT is what I'm meant to do.

That's a wonderful thing for you to do. You have such a big heart. God bless you.

My soft spot has always been children and animals (not always in that order, some kids are just evil lil shits ROFL) I used to foster cats and dogs (mainly mommy's with pups/kittens like you are doing now) I paid out of pocket many times to have full litters spayed and neutered before they were adopted out. I miss doing that but I have a house full of pets as it is right now, one being a special needs dog (he loves other dogs but we don't trust him around them long term). So right now I am concentrating on my pets and family.

Good on ya !! I am glad people step up like you are doing.
