I Urge You to Adopt a Shelter Pet!

I came across a pet listing on Craigslist.org for a local shelter in the state of GA, but it had a heart breaking story to it!  There are thousands, upon thousands of pets euthanized in the United Statet every day, simply b/c there is no room for them and the shelters are overflowing with stranded animals!  So, I went to this site from Craigslist.org and was outraged at a page I found on this shelters site ...... all of the animal euthanized from this shelter, simply b/c no one wanted them!  Link to site ----  http://www.shelterrescueinc.org/id6.html .    This saddens me so much.  I litterally cried for about 30 minutes while looking at this page.  I just believe that there are so many forgotten animals out there that need us.  Could you imagine your family pet being lost and picked up by a shelter to only be euthanized.  This makes my heart very saddened.  I am a animal lover and have 4 dogs.  So, to see all of these poor defenseless dogs/puppies/cats/kittens killed for no good reason, outrages me! 


So, I ask you, if you are looking to get a pet, PLEASE, PLEASE go to your local animal shelter / pound / animal control and save one of these forgotten angels!  If you need links to a local shelter in your area, please comment me and I will find one for you!  PLEASE save an animal at your local shelter or if you are looking for a good cause to support, I suggest your local Humane Society or event volunteer at a local shelter.  Give anything you can to these shelters.  They simply have to euthanize these animals b/c lack of funding.  If you love animal like me, please find in your heart to do this for a good cause! 


PLEASE ADPOT A SHELTER PET!!!!!!!

Busy, Busy .....

Hi all!  I feel I have neglected this blog lately and I so need to try and keep it up to date!  As for all the happenings, Summer has been such a busy time.  Too much things to do, in too little time!  I have been working more and have added another 4 hour day (Mondays) to my schedule at work, so that bills will be paid of sooner!  I am now working 32 hours a week, still part time!   I have FINALLY decided the route I want to go in school and will be starting Phlebotomy classes in the Fall.  I have to take 1 semester class and then the next semester will be the clinical and I will have my degree.  Only 2 courses to take and I will be done with school, well at least for now anyways!  I really sat down and thought, "Hmm, what do I want to do" and "Quit procrastinating and get on with it, Jennifer".  I am so looking forward to starting anew and being able to buy a home and pay off my car and "maybe" buy a brand new Kia Sorento!  I am sooo tired of my current job and there are lots of changes coming and they are cutting positions like crazy!  I mean, I have a great job, don't get me wrong, just not something I want to do for the rest of my life and at least with Phlebotomy, you are always up and dashing around!  I hate the 4 or 6 hours of sitting with my current job! 


I want to really get this degree over with and start working, so I can start helping my parents out more, with my uncle, grandma and cousin living with them, things have been pretty hard and it would just help out soooo much.  I have wonderful parents!  Especially my mom!  I was talking to her this morning and said "I wish sometimes I had my own place", to which she responded, "Well, if that's what you want, I will help you  get a place and help you out as much as possible", really mom, I love you, but you already do too much and with everyone else living and sucking my parents dry, I would in no way even fathom doing it!  Just, wish I could get away sometimes!  You really don't know how much you enjoy you alone time, until there is NONE!  Someone is always complaining about something or in a bitchy mood or just hateful or ungrateful and sucking people dry or fighting or arguing!  It seems, I am living in the real world now, only which I though was a fantasy as a child! 


On another, more pleasant note, My BFF since birth, Stephanie is blessing me with a niece in December and I am so excited!  I can't wait to hold her in my arms and spoil her!  Steph says it is now my turn to have one, so that they can grow up together like we did.  Slight problem, no male figure and to early for me, even though I want a baby so bad, not in this situation!  Still, I think the sperm bank in the route for me!  I see nothing wrong with it and if "Mr. Right" comes along, then I will be more than happy!  I just sometimes forget who is in control and when he, GOD sees fit for me to have a baby and find the right person, I will be there willingly!  Just, sooner than later, hopefully!  I know his plans are far greater than I could imagine for myself! 


Well, ta ta for now!  Hope you all are well! 


Much Love,

- Jenn
