Crossposted w/permission It's Valentine's Day. I spent a lot of time on the computer fighting for your rights to have puppies and go down into history. Yes, I got your toes trimmed. But did you each get a clear eyed look into the soul today? A really meaningful ear scratch? A kiss into your fur? You each deserve to know love. You give it SO unendingly. When you asked to play by dumping a toy in my lap, I'm sorry I didn't get up.... I guess I did think it was cute when you pulled on the dishtowel and opened the refrigerator door. I thought dumping the jar of cookies was less than cute. And for the one who stole the stuffed bird off the counter....REALLY not cute. But I can laugh about it now. I had the salad, so what now I'm to be vegan? Not. But the Humane Society of the United States got more attention than it should today. They promise us 34 states of anti breeding bills? To stop this love? It's time I made sure the time YOU get is more balanced than what I give to the Animal Rights fight. I know H$U$ is there. I know they want to end all domestic animals. "Creatures of human creation." And I know that is wrong in a very cold place inside of me. Inside I feel this hard part....that is determined to stop this evil. How can anyone mean to wipe love off the face of the earth? Animal Rights is about hatred....of humans really. Any therapist tells you that hatred like that destroys the one who hates. I think I need to make sure it doesn't make me hate. Yes, I can be determined.....like never before. But today is a celebration of love! I promise to take time to romp and play and enjoy what makes life worthwhile! And I promise to remember to love every day. Not just today! But it is you furred ones who are the true masters of love. Humans are just learning.... We need you. Now let's go PLAY!
