Shelter pet project amazing video! Sign the pledge!!!!

https://secure.humanesociety.org/site/Advocacy?cmd=display&page=UserAction&id=2823

I believe watching this video will help people to realize the unfortunate effects of breeding, not spaying/neutering, and shopping at puppy stores or from breeders.
Millions of dogs, cats, rabbits, etc are euthanized every single year because of the vicious cycle of breeding. Most that are bred end up in the shelter.
Not to mention, if people that buy puppy store puppies actually did the research to realize the cruelty behind puppy mills (where these puppy-store puppies come from), they would realize that they're contributing to a horrific industry, and they'd realize that the puppy is most likely sick and malnourished.

PLEASE WATCH THE VIDEO AND PLEDGE THAT YOU WILL ADOPT YOUR NEXT PET! DO NOT SUPPORT PUPPY STORES OR IRRESPONSIBLE BREEDERS. PLEASE SPAY/NEUTER YOUR PETS.

BEST WISHES,
ALEXIS

Blessing of the Animals

Last Sunday, my friend Diane and I went to the "Blessing of the Animals" service at St. John the Divine Cathedral (an amazing multi-faith cathedral).
This is a day to honor St. Francis of Assisi and to illustrate the bond between animals & humans.
The animals that were blessed included a yak, tortoise, red fox, rabbits, camel, reindeer, and many more. They were brought in from upstate NY and many shelters across NYC.
Hundreds of people brought their dogs and cats to be blessed. There were groups of dancers and musicians performing as well. It was beyond beautiful.

Check out the slideshow in the above article...Gregors, Corbin, Diane and I are on picture # 2 :-)
