Welcome to my Fur Friends Foto page. This page is dedicated to all the animals in this world in which I cherish with all my heart and soul. Animals do not have a voice and seem to be the forgotton ones in todays world. Pets play a major role in a person's daily life and are also a key element to a person's well being. It has been proven that those who have a pet have positive health benefits whether immediate or long term. This can be especailly true for the elderly, people who suffer from depression and also people who injured or sick.
Pets give us the unconditional love that cannot be explained unless you experience it. Some people love their pets just like they would love their own child. This special bond with pets is an amazing love and experience that people do all kinds of things for their pets that a non pet owner may not understand. There are people that just consider their pets, pets as well. They do not necessarily have that same bond and deep love that many pet oweners experience. They care for their pets and may love them, but not at such a deep level.
If you are a pet owner then you are familiar with finding yourself talking in baby talk, spelling out words, dealing with fur in you home, talking in a whole different language to other adults in your home because kitty and doggy may need to go out and do their "do do's". This is just all natural to you and you would have it no other way.
The one thing that has changed....is the economy. This has brought up an entire new issue and concern. This is why I am dedicating this page to what I call the "forgotten ones." With the cost of Vet. appointments, food, liter, medications and all other costs that come with owning a pet...many familes are now struggling on how to pay for their beloved one. When a family of four has suddenly lodt their income and they also have 2 fur friends, why isn't anyone reaching out to all the pet families to help the forgotton ones?
Animals do not have a voice and they are helpless. They have given us so much. They have loved us when we are down. They have made a joyful event more enjoyable. They ARE family too. No one should have to choose between their pet and something else. No animal should be put to sleep becuase of cost. Millions are put to sleep every year to due not spading and neutering and that is a sad fact on its own. But there must be help provided for all of us who have fur babies who love them with out heart and soul. In today's economy things are difficult. I have fur kids of my own and struggle. But I do know that my love for them will always come first and they will not be the forgotton ones. My hope is to advocate for them and for all others in this position. We are their voice. They love us so much and we love them back. I hope to inspire others with my dedication and learn from you as well.
