    Well, I guess politics really has gone to the dogs (and cats)! But in a good way. Thank you for thinking about our furry friends. I’ll be out of town on the day of the drive but I’ll be sure to send something to the LHS. Good luck with the pet food drive.

    Honestly, if politics is going to the dogs and cats, at least we ALL know we’re getting True LOYALTY, EMPATHY and HONESTY for once, NO double standards here! Pets are the ultimate examples of fairness, consistency, and equality across the board, not just selectively! Enjoy your trip and safe travels!!!

    NO double standards here, because due process must always be the universal standard for EVERYONE!

    There you go. Let all work hard and buy stuff for people’s pets because they can’t afford to take care of them all by themselves. Maybe if you can’t afford your pet you shouldn’t have one. Cut back of your cost and money issues get easier.
    Let’s also collect cigarettes for smokers.
