I just visited a pet store.
Disgusting. Heartbreak.
I almost cried.

Think the Mex will notice if I come home with a few poor puppers.


Do people really buy dogs from places like this?

I've seen one pet store in my life like that. It was in Baton Rouge and I think it's closed down. Our lps sells pups from a few local breeders on occasion but nothing like this. I remember seeing those cages on top of cages like that at the one in br and being repulsed and so saddened by it. I know for me I wanted to buy them all just to get them out of there. It's so sad looking.

How sad.

I almost asked if I could at least just play with them all for a little bit.
Those poor things.

I think of shelters as county or city shelters where animals are too often euthanized for health issues perceived behavior issues or just plain over crowding. It is an unfortunate reality I do not have an answer to resolving other than doing what I can to encourage spay neuterand adoption vs purchase.

Rescues I tend to think of as groups that take in animals from various sources, get the animals the medical care they need, often much more than a shelter would or could do, spay or neuter the animal and find them a good home. Because they can control their intake more than a shelter they can often do more for the animals but these groups are typically funded by donations and are non profit. It is very easy to spend way more than the adoption fee before the animal is placed in a home.

Did you watch the Houston new this morning?
There were two ladies who started a rescue thing because of Harvey...they were at one of our million shelters picking up 61 dogs and cats to take to an Oklahoma shelter.

I can't watch dog stuff.

I think I remember going to the malls when I was little and the first stop was always the pet store to see the animals.
I don't frequent the malls now a days so I am not even sure if they still are around or not but there are "pet stores" EVERYwhere in Houston.
I don't usually visit them.

How is this for random. Can someone explain the appeal of bath bombs to me? I’m a shower person. Never understood soaking in your own dirt in the first place but to put something into the tub with you that turns the water into a soupy mess just makes no sense to me.

I have no where else to ask so thought I’d try here. LOL

I used to let the Mini take a bath in bath bomb type color tab things when he was little.
He loved to swim in colorful water in the tub.
I would bath him first....then fill the tub for him to swim.


I can't soak in glitter either.


I can take a bath though but I don't usually plugged the drain in the tub when I do.
tmi?
