I made the mistake, many moons ago back when social media platforms were just ramping up, to join several pages devoted to animal rescue. I routinely see posts from the Forney Animal Shelter, the Seagoville Animal Shelter, the Humane Society of Cedar Creek Lake (where many noncity limit Forney pets are taken when picked up as strays, FYI), and rescue groups like Paws of Love where my beloved Poe the Super Ween was acquired. I see pictures of extreme sadness: animals not properly loved, those improperly fed, the discarded ones, and the injured. All seasons of animal abandonment are cruel. This season, just before the summer, affectionately referred to as puppy and kitten season, is especially sorrowful. I mean, it would be so easy to remedy this entire issue, just a simple neuter and, poof, all the unwanted babies would never have to face the horrors of a noisy shelter, or parvo, or distemper, or a bloated abdomen full of worms. But, that’s a story for a different day. Today we are talking about the misconceptions of pet ownership in other ways. And, boy do I have a story within a stor y to tell you.
