Do not get me wrong, I am completely FOR animal rescue, but I am not for what PETA stands for and does. They have been causing more deaths than they save lives for YEARS and I have no idea how people can follow them so blindly! Support your local rescues, support shelters and humane societies but please, do not support these people. Do your research. Find the facts. And come to your own conclusion. Everything I have found has been nothing but negative on them. I stand by my animal rescues and I support rescues, I will NOT support PETA please join the fight against PETA and help save the lives of the animals they are killing.

September 23rd, 2014 marks the first day of fall. As we transition into another season of beautiful color changing leaves and crisp autumn air. Last night to enjoy our one last day of summer we took the pups on a walk to enjoy the beautiful weather. It is not often that the weather works out like that but it did. This will be the first fall for us as a family. Between us being newlyweds and both pups having not experienced a fall yet it will be exciting! This will be a big year for firsts for sure! Case's first birthday, Stella's first Christmas, and our first year of being married. I can not wait to experience all of the firsts to come! I recently stumbled across a blog that raised this question and it occurred to me that there really is no cut and dry answer for this. Some people may argue otherwise but in my opinion, it depends on the individual dog. We recently added a Great Pyrenees puppy to our family December of 2013 and upon his first Vet visit the vet urged us to neuter him at 12 weeks AND have his double dews removed. Great Pyrenees are the only breed supposed to have them. My husband and I felt off about this decision as the last vet I had urged us not to alter a large breed before 6 months of age as it can cause major issues in bone development. I decided to do a little research on my OWN. I found that not only should I NOT alter him at 12 weeks but I found out that his breed specifically should not be altered before 8 months of age due to a unique molar they have that doesn't come in until then and they need all of their hormones to push them out as well as it can negatively impact his bone density as he grows. Without them it can cause some serious jaw issues according to a reputable Pyr Breeder. I also found out that you should NOT have a Great Pyrs double dews removed as it can cripple them and cause early onset of arthritis and tendinitis. I decided to look for a new vet. My current Vet stays up to date on the studies that are being conducted on the pros and cons of neutering large breeds too early. He has suggested that anything classified as a large breed should not be altered before 6 months old due to the chances of something being caused by it. He is not set one way or the other but as he told me, "There are no bad things claimed about waiting until 6 months that are caused but there are many bad things claimed that are caused by it". To me, I would rather be safe than sorry and wait a little longer and if you are observant and responsible enough an unwanted litter will not happen in that time. WHY are we being urged to alter our beloved pets before they are fully mature when it has the potential to cause severe health issues down the line or issues that are unknown to us at this time. Case and Stella are happy and healthy puppies right now and we made the right choice for THEM and excluded anyone else's thoughts and opinions on the matter due to the fact WE have the emotional attachment to them not the next person. They are our responsibility and it is our duty to do what we feel is right for them at that time and with the information that is at hand. All I can say is trust your gut not always the professionals! Just because they say it is right does not mean it is right for your pet. The story that started it all. Check out the kids book "Milo & Me" if you have not already done so now. You can purchase it athttp://bookstore.authorhouse.com/Products/SKU-000547618/Milo--Me.aspx The story of the bond between this special rabbit and his owner is priceless and a portion of proceeds go to Homeward Bound Canine rescue (not Heading Home) and Angel of Hope Feline rescue. It is the first in a series and with each Series a new rescue/shelter that is in need of help will be chosen to receive a portion of proceeds. Please share this story with others to help get it out there to help as many rescues as possible. Milo is no longer with us but I am hoping his life can help change the life of another animal.
Yesterday was national pet memorial Day and along with the many pets I've lost over the years I payed tribute to my little Maximilian whom we lost all too soon in his life. In those few short months he was with us he touched the lives of many people and changed my life. #miloandme #frenchlop #memorial #petmemorial Breath"Breath. You're going to be okay. Breath, and remember that you've been in this place before. You've been uncomfortable, and anxious, and scared and you've survived it. Breath and know you can survive this too. These feelings can't break you. They're painful and debilitating, but you can sit with them and eventually, they will pass. Maybe not immediately, but sometime soon, they are going to fade and when they do, you'll look back at this moment and laugh for having doubted you're resilience. I know it feels unbearable right now, but keep breathing, again and again. This will pass. I promise it will pass."
I found this posted to instagram by Leah Turner music and it speaks volumes. Every person has been here whether it has been in their career, a relationship, etc. It gives hope and power to those feeling as though they can not survive what ever their struggle is at the moment. I wanted to share this saying with y'all in hopes that if it helps even one person then it has made a difference. Keep pushing through whatever struggles you are facing and know there will be a rainbow at the end of your storm. |
