Leave No Pet Behind

The Real Estate market is down and there are lots of houses being abandoned with no one to take care of them, along with the pets left behind in those houses.

Cecily Tippery is a real estate agent who most recently walked into an empty house only to find three dogs tied up in the backyard, abandoned by their owners. Unfortunately, when someone can't take care of their house, their pets become nothing more but added stress. In her 17 years of experience Tippery has seen litters of kittens, birds, goldfish and turtles.

Even though Tippery ( being the good pet-lover she is!) tries to take home and care for every animal she finds it can be tricky. Legally, pets are personal property and can not be taken unless abandoned for at a minimum 18 days. But don't worry, she comes back to the houses and feeds them and checks on them in the meantime.

You think something just snapped?...

Ok..
I'm going to warn you about this post. I sometimes tend to have a bit of a twisted sense of humor, and more often than not, I like making light of what really is a bad or tragic situation. I guess I've always used humor as my little tool to diffuse the awful emotion inside of situations... but I digress...
I read this article yesterday about what is believed to be a roving pack of 3 dogs in Dallas that are single paw-dedly eliminating their most hated household rival, the feline, in almost a mercenary style. As described in the article in The Dallas Morning News, they believe these dogs are " a black Labrador mix and two German shepherd mixes." What's tragic is the fact that it's believed that these three dogs have killed over 20 some odd cats in East Dallas to date. And as I said, I have a weird sense of humor, so when I read it, I got images of these violent dogs are dressed up like Dog the Bounty Hunter, with armor, sunglasses, tattoos and REALLY bad hair cuts. And they're all sitting around a table, playing poker (because that's not cliche), talking trash about how Fluffy down the street came a marked their territory again today. And how Muffin left a coughed up furball on their doorstep that morning. Then suddenly, they snap and decide that if the Law won't act, they're going to take matter into their own hands. I know, I know, I know.... I'm terrible. Blame it on TV.
What is really the terrible thing is what was described by a resident of this neighbourhood where these dogs have been active, "What creeps me out the most is that my neighbor said that they were hunting in a pack," she said. "We've got a lot of babies and young children in the neighborhood. What if these animals went after one of them?" Now that's not funny at all.
And suddenly, I conjure up this ingrain childhood image of Bob Barker on the Price is Right, saying "Remember, have your pets spayed or neutered..."
Gosh, I've got a lot of junk stored upstairs. If I only could use my power for good... hmmmmm.... I wonder if Planet-Pets.com needs a resident super hero as well?
