Adoption Efforts

Well

We have two lines of interest to say about the topic of Adoption today.

1.

Among bunches of others,
our friends the Wee Bonnie Basset Babes of Scotland
have finally gotten Moma off her bottom to write this post.
It's pretty understandable why we are big advocates of rescue and adoption.
So it only makes sense that we participate in the Pedigree Adoption Drive.
The info is on our pals' blog over at LifewithDogs.
Taking the easy way out,
we have copied and pasted their information
(straight from Martha and Bailey's blog).  

Here's the deal:

Each year, more than 4 million dogs
end up in shelters and breed rescue organizations.
Pedigree created The PEDIGREE Adoption Drive
to help shine a spotlight on the plight of these homeless dogs.


So first of all it seems if you just click 'like' on their Facebook page,
they will donate a bowl of food to a shelter
- so far they have over a million -
let's make that two million 'cause we dogs need (and like) to eat!

Secondly - Special for BlogPaws West
For each blog that posts about the PEDIGREE® Adoption Drive
through September 19th
PEDIGREE® will donate a bag
of their new Healthy Longevity Food for Dog
to shelters nationwide.


It’s simple: 

Write a post, help a dog.

(We are so glad we finally got Moma to post a blog.

Every little bit helps.)

Like Martha and Bailey said,
"We hope we have all the information
- oh yes, when you write your blog post please leave a link with Life with Dogs - Maybe that saves Pedigree having to try to find your blog!"

So there.
Do it!
We did!

As much as I'd like to have a kitty in our home

As much as we'd like to Adopt one

(and as much as Moma loved having her Hymn a LeighAnn with Kizzy years ago)

The truth of the matter is

It's not gonna happen anytime in the near future.

Moma helped us understand.

And we listened.

We travel too often,  for too long.

It wouldn't be fair to the kitty.

And we only want to provide a home when it can be 

a Purrfect Furrever Home

for whomever comes to live here.

So.

We will have to live on Memories

Fantasies

and Occasional Opportunities

to get our (my) kitty-fix.

Sigh.

(I love you, Ruby)
