There are some people who for reasons of their own feel very uncomfortable around dogs and cats. It is VERY hard for me to understand as I get all silly and soft when I am around furries. However, when animal owners abuse the space of people who do not like pets then fur will fly. I think that moderation is the key, and common sense, and doing what we CAN do to be good parents of our little charges.

I am wary of all gatherings and marches and protests and outcries. WARY, I said, not solidly against all of them, but often said gatherings encourage extremism that doesn't help their cause.

Just my two cents. I am interested to see what is accomplished at the upcoming meeting in The Villages and how it all comes out. Hoping for the best outcome.

It is only in the last five years that we have had a pet euthanized and we all mourned the loss for a very long time. It is a huge and sad decision. Killing animals that could be placed in a loving home is very, very sad and wrong.

We all have our views and some are more moderate and some are more extreme. Some people are selfish pet parents, but most I know are caring and responsible and have good sense. Their furry kids are awesome.

(I realize this is off the subject of the thread but I have only had one cup of coffee)

What meeting????
