On December 10th, I posted a question to our Facebook fans asking, “If you could give your pet anything in the world for Christmas,
what would you give them?”
The
responses received were overwhelming and touching to say the very least. It
really put some perspective on how much we take for granted when it comes to
the health and well being of our beloved pets.
I've captured a screen shot of the conversation so you can see
exactly what I mean.
Generally
I post a question or a topic for conversation, I then comment on my
own post in order to get the replies started. I always do this immediately upon
creating the post. In this case you can see two of our fans posted a response even before I
had a chance to submit my own. The first response almost brought tears to my
eyes. Especially after my own superficial response about giving my pets a nice
home in the Caribbean; a tongue-in-cheek wish that was really for my own
benefit and not for the benefit of my pets.
After
reading all the responses, I truly felt fortunate that I currently have happy,
healthy, well adjusted pets with no pending critical illness or extreme
behaviour issues.
We
always know in the back of our minds that there are so many people in the world
who are less fortunate than we are. People with no families, no food, shelter
or even any hope for their future.
Now I know that I am also very fortunate to
have the lovely pets that I do. But most of all in a world full of animal
cruelty, neglect and abuse, I’m thankful and so very lucky to have such great
people following the Poooh Busters page.
Knowing
that there are so many folks out there who truly love and care for their pets. People
whose only wish is to have their pets by there side for much longer than the
short time we are given.
