Our dogs are as part of the family as anyone. We have a golden and yellow lab. They are AWESOME and they are my best buds. The attitude "they are just dogs" really bothers me. The abuse that animals suffer on a daily basis is just sickening. Letting dogs run free is just irresponsible and saying yeah just shoot them if they get into your stuff is WTF??? It's your fault they would get shot.

If people can't devote the time and love to having animals, PLEASE do not get a one. It is not fair to them at all. Stacy, I am glad your little doggy is doing better.
