A Dog Tale

and how do they embed onion fumes into videos?

to take care of their beloved companion animals if something happens to them.

This rather simplistically suggests that some organ of that man was transplanted to the young woman, and somehow the dog sensed this and transferred allegiance. Hmmm. Probably not the heart. Or lungs. Maybe a kidney.

I think there would be a much, much better way to encourage organ donations. Showing the dog waiting outside the hospital -- he'd have been there for days, maybe a couple of weeks, especially if a heart was transplanted. Who fed the dog? Why wasn't it picked up as a stray.

Our companion animals are wonderful. I'm a cat person myself, but dog, cat, hamster, turtle, whatever you have, you should make sure that if something happens to you your animals will have a home.

When I was searching for a dog, I came across so many "strays" that had been turned into shelters. Many of them were there because their humans had died without instructions about what to do with their pets.

My darlin Aussie has godparents. If anything happens to me, they will take her in.

Thanks for bringing up a much needed topic.

at a shelter, and the saddest animals I saw were the ones whose owner had died or gone into a nursing home, and there was no one willing or able to take them in.

One time there were two older cats who'd been together their entire lives. I seriously thought about bringing them home, but I already had two cats of my own, and managing an additional two would have been complicated. Plus, I wouldn't spring two new cats on my husband. Not fair to him.

Right now I have no animals in my life. When I'm ready to have them again, I'm going to make it a point to adopt the oldest cats the shelter has.

So many people insist on a puppy or a kitten, and it's my opinion that more should consider the older ones. You don't have the kitten/puppy issues to deal with, and they deserve a good home also.
