OSPCA Visit

6 month old "Kuna", waiting for adoption. Guess the breed, if you dare. My ex-vet used to breed these. Extolled their virtues. They need lots of, who knew, exercise.


Sleepy eyed sweetie in the centre, half-grown cats in this enclosure, one starting to wind up for some bouncing off the walls practice.. I wouldn't take pictures of the kittens. Many kittens, too many cats. Sweet things. All waiting for their always homes.


Green my eyes, oh, this lady beckoned me. She has an adoption pending, I can certainly understand why. I was hypnotized by those deep green eyes. This is a poor, washed out picture of her, plus she was displeased that I hadn't obeyed her more quickly. Come Here, She Said. I did. We gazed at each other for an ageless time. Adopted pending. I hope her new slaveImeanOwner will worship her accordingly.


I was struck again by how clean the place is, and how quiet. The dogs were sleeping happily, well-walked by their wonderful volunteers. I've yet to arrive there and not see a small family or three in with the cats.
Great place, tough job. Kudos to the OSPCA!

DingDingDING, we have a winner!

I had a heck of a time walking out without a cat. Good thing that grey goddess was adopted. She has mind-control powers.

GAWD.
Just watched Animal Cops Houston, a yearling filly with a halter EMBEDDED into her head.
WHO IS THAT STUPID??
Sorry for yelling. Poor filly.

The filly was brought to the vet, by the owner, and surgery was done to remove the halter, took 40 minutes to get (cut) it off her head. Because the owner brought the filly in, no charges were laid. The filly has recovered, with "some" disfigurement.. Good luck training her in a few years. Press her poll, or her nose.
gah.
Oh, to smarter people, and common sense.

That was going to be my next answer. Aww shucks. What does FV win?

I've seen a number of programs about dogs with embedded collars and one about a horse. What kind of idiot does that. Why have a pet if you've too lazy to remove a tight collar.
