there is more to this universe than we may ever know so if it is her trying to help me extract as much joy from each moment i thank her…she’s told us all so far those moments are not cheap.
prevention is kinder than destruction. each year over six million healthy dogs, cats, puppies and kittens are killed as surplus. remember: neuter, spay and don't let them stray!
