font-family:Arial">I got back to the Drool this morning for the first time
since Friday. As I’m reading through so many of the posts, I am
appalled, saddened, with a teary face trying to understand how beautiful dogs
are so severely neglected like the two poor boys in Montana, or others who are
scared and alone in shelters just waiting to die like the ones in MS and
KY. My mind knows the “why”, but my heart still struggles to
comprehend it – I will never understand how some people can be so
uncaring or mean. All of the rescues are amazing and do such great work,
but it still always seems that there are more in need than can be helped –
always an uphill battle.</span></font></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><font size="2" face="Arial"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;
font-family:Arial">My wish is that all dogs could spend their lives being
treated like the dogs owned and loved by the people who write on the
drool. People who are always trying to find the best food, best vet treatment,
how to help their dog through this or that, and are simply devastated when they
have to lovingly help their dogs to the bridge. Thank you to all of the
wonderful people who do rescue and make so many success stories possible.</span></font></p>
