Fun Stuff > CHATTER
We love our pets!
Lines:
I visited my mom for Thanksgiving and Parker was so stoked when he realized I was actually spending the night. I miss my kitty and his sleepy snuggles. :c I kind of want to adopt a kitten from one of my friends, but I kind of just want my cat...
JD:
Here's a classmate's dog
He's probably doubled in size by now.
Buttfranklin:
Not me in the pic! Neither am I the little kid.
This is 8 years ago.
Elizzybeth:
Totally reminiscent of the Coppertone girl. Cute.

In the UK, the Dog's Trust will then pick up the cost of spaying (or do it for you free) if you take a puppy that is too young to have been done at that time.

It might have something to do with the fact that I grew up in the ghetto, but none of the shelters I have ever seen will let you take an animal out the door without getting it fixed. My sister adopted a kitten (5 years ago now) when it was 10 weeks old. They refused to hold him until he was old enough, even though my parents offered to pay them for kennel service, and they refused to let us take him home without getting him fixed. 5 years later and he is about 2/3 his proper size, his head is small and triangly, he has abandonment issues, he sucks on sweaters and things, drools when he sleeps, and is afraid of absolutely everything.
I do think it is bollocks, but at the same time I know quite a lot of people in my neighborhood who wouldn't ever go back to get their pet fixed if the shelter just let them walk out the door with it. I suppose there is not much else they can do, really.
