10 Reasons Why You Should NOT Have a Dog as a Pet

Do you wonder if you should get a dog? Have you weighed the pros and cons and stress over the extra work and time it will take? 

Hubby and I rescued over 30 dogs and each one of them became a family member quickly. Each one knew they were loved, wanted, and they would no longer be abused. In our current climate of unrest and stress, NOTHING is more calming than the love of a four-legged fur baby. 

Yes, there is deep hurt when you lose your precious furry family member and may not want to ever adopt another. But, there are hundreds of them waiting for a good home. I am convinced that they are completely aware they were rescued and will do anything to protect you and love you with every ounce of their being. 

Here is my list of why we need a dog in our life:

1. You will no longer need an alarm clock. Dogs have internal clocks with alarms that go off right on time. They know when it is time to get up, to eat, to exercise, and a host of other activities. 

What Kind of Friend Are You?

I wrote this to a special friend on her birthday yesterday. It occurred to me that some of you may have a friend like this and want to share it with them as well.

Thank God for friends of all types, sizes, and colors. I’ve had big friends and little friends (some of them have four legs), old friends and young friends, and fair-weather friends who are only there for the ride.

Some of my friends have been there for decades. Some are online friends who I may never meet in person but are friends, none the less.
