Kathy (Kathleen)--We DO have to just be glad that we can help the ones we help. Every one we do help will have a better life. It just makes me so sad to drive by a loose dog that I know is going to get hit by a car. Or to see a stay who is clearly neglected or homeless. And thank you again for your words of encouragement....I DO think that animal lovers have special hearts....

Kathy (Chat Kat)----you two have to differentiate your names, LOL---little Gizmo is SO precious. I loved that picture on the Brunch thread. I'm like you---I get really mad at people who don't get it!!!! I once called Animal Control on a neighbor's dog who had gotten out of the yard (not the first time he'd done that, as there was a gap in the fence the neighbor never fixed). I tried to catch him to keep him in my yard for the day, but he wouldn't let me get near him. Rather than just let him run away or get hit by a car, I called Animal Control to get him off the street so he'd be safe for the day. The neighbor was annoyed b/c she had to pay to get him out of there, and she told me I should have just left him out.....go figure....if MY dog ever got out, I'd WANT someone to call Animal Control!!!!! I thought I was doing her a good turn.
