A Little Bit of Kindness Goes A Long Way

I know this....you know this; we all KNOW being kind to others is a good thing ...and yet, we forget, don't we? I do, that's why I'm going to share this little story with you. 😊

  

When You Adopt A Pet.....Here's What You Just Did

Your decision to save a life...did more than just "rescue" or add to your family; you are sending a message and demonstrating kindness; speaking up for what's right instead of just going with what society tells us "should be done", i.e., buying everything we see. Rather than opting to purchase a dog or puppy, actions which contribute to one of the most despicable industries out there, lacking regulation or standards, fostering situations of horrible cruelty to animals, you are opening your heart to the less fortunate creatures. That's big; huge, actually; that a human would choose to take the high road and reach out to help an animal which may not otherwise have a chance at a new, wonderful, life.

The Love of An Old Dog

I thought I'd share this with all of you here today....it's a little long but as you know we rescue and I thought some of you may like to read it.

There is something special and beautiful about the love of a senior dog. Although it's said often that they are the ones passed over in shelters, I wonder how many really understand what having an older dog is.

     

Animal Shelter Volunteer Life - and a Jitterbug

Jitterbug is one of those pups you hook up on a leash, exit the kennel, walk out of the building, then through the gate to the outside world....and then may think "ruh roh, what did I get myself into here." 😃 But wait, there's more! 😄

The Cannery building in Snow Hill, Maryland

One of my favorite buildings in this town is the old cannery which sits on the banks of the Pocomoke River, by the bridge. It was being used by the Riverside Auction Company when I took these pictures in 2014, but they now appear to be out of business. I honestly cannot find much information on this beautiful old structure, so I'm going to ask around next time I get down that way.
