Well, c r a p, I start back to work on Monday. My hair's too short..got it cut and she turned me into a pinhead....sigh. Got to put lots of Bedhead on it just to keep it from laying flat against my head. I lost 25 pounds over summer and none of my work clothes fit anymore (I'm a teacher). Since I haven't been working, there's no money to buy new..so I'll have to take my pants in...so they'll look dorkey. I don't want summer to be over...my sister's moving up here next week and I'll be at work before I can enjoy having her up here. I need to go for a walk and change my foul mindset and get possitive. I think I'll go spend some money I don't have...hope you're doing well. Thanks.

regrettably now and back euthanasia is the main humane selection. i became in no way for euthanasia till I watch a HBO specific reported as "guard canine" It became unhappy that those canine have been placed in no kill guard to in certainty rot away, on my own and in a tiny pen till they died of old age. interior the documentary they went interior no kill shelters and confirmed the viewer the form of existence those animals have and how you are able to tell(by utilising watching the canine) how long they have been there(in certainty by utilising how stir loopy they have long previous). greater moderen canine walked up and down the component of the run again and again. canine that have been there longer spun in circles(now and back continuously for hours), and canine there the longest jumped up and down for stimulation and exercising. canine who till now confirmed no aggression leap on the door of the run growling. those are canine that may no longer accompanied and could in any different case stay the remainder of there lives on my own in a pen, a destiny which i think is lots worse than death. maximum no kill shelters are selective interior the animals they take in. they do no longer decide for to be saddled with aggressive, sickly, unadaptable canine. they only take in canine that they comprehend are adoptable. besides the undeniable fact that they do no longer look to be euthanizing the animals straight away, they do no longer look to be letting all canine into the guard forcing those canine into kill shelters, subsequently no longer straight away killing them. So in my opinion no guard is a no kill guard. no longer all shelters are loving. maximum are over crowded, with people who decide for to help the animals, yet there are too many animals and too lots to do, and not adequate time or money. there is not any longer adequate residences for a majority of those undesirable animals. people could be to blame for the animals that they create into this worldwide. i think the stat. is a million in 10 canine will in no way detect an eternal loving domicile. it relatively is unhappy, yet real looking to comprehend that those animals can not stay available existence in shelters, and euthanasia is the sole different option ( at a similar time as people proceed to offload animals on the 1st sign of hassle)
