Every now and then I get to thinking that people only bring pets into their homes just so they can pick a “cutesy” name for it. Every time I look at the classified ads, I am discouraged to see how young little “Kaiya” or “Boomer” is looking for a new home at only 6 months of age. How in the world did the family not forsee a move coming in such a short amount of time? Now I realize that sometimes there are circumstance beyond our control that do happen, but did you know that it IS possible to move cross-country with a pet?
I’d like to tell anyone out there who may be reading this and thinking about adding a pet to the family to please stop and think about the future of that animal. Is your greed and hasty decision worth the life it will eventually cost the animal? If you have a cute little name already picked out, then please stop by your local animal shelter and let them know. You see, there are a shortage of names for all of these cutesy little animals that are pouring through the doors. Why not provide a name to one of those in need?
