Inner Strength

If you can start the day without caffeine,

If you can get going without pep pills,

If you can always be cheerful, ignoring aches and pains,

If you can resist complaining and boring people with your troubles,

If you can eat the same food every day and be grateful for it,

If you can understand when your loved ones are too busy to give you any time,

If you can take criticism and blame without resentment

If you can ignore a friend's limited education and never correct him,

If you can resist treating a rich friend better than a poor friend,

If you can conquer tension without medical help,

If you can relax without liquor,

If you can sleep without the aid of drugs,

...Then You Are Probably The Family Dog!

A Day in the Life of Animal Rescue

-- Author Unknown --

Hello. You have reached 123-4567, Tender Hearts Rescue. Due to the
high volume of calls we have been receiving, please listen closely to
the following options and choose the one that best describes you or
your situation:

Press 1 if you think we are veterinarians and want free medical
advice.

Press 2 if you know we are a rescue organization but want to save
money and have us give you free, untrained medical advice anyway.

Press 3 if you make $200,000 a year but still want us to pay to spay
the "stray" in your yard (house).

Press 4 if you have a 10-year-old dog and your 15-year-old son has
suddenly become allergic and you need to find the dog a new home
right away.

Press 5 if you have three dogs, had a baby and want to get rid of
your dogs because you are the only person in the world to have a baby
and dogs at the same time.

Press 6 if your dog is sick and needs a vet but you need the money
for your vacation.

Press 7 if you just got a brand new puppy and your old dog is having
problems adjusting so you want to get rid of the old one right away.

Press 8 if your little puppy has grown up and is no longer small and
cute and you want to trade it in for a new model.

Press 9 if you are elderly and want to adopt a cute puppy who is not
active and is going to outlive you.

Press 10 if your relative has died and you don't want to care for
their elderly dog because it doesn't fit your lifestyle.

Press 11 if you are moving TODAY and need to immediately place your
150 pound, 8-year-old dog.

Press 12 if you want an unpaid volunteer to come to your home TODAY
and pick up the dog you no longer want.

Press 13 if you have been feeding and caring for a "stray" for the
last three years, are moving and suddenly determine it's not your
dog.

Press 14 if you are calling at 6 a.m. to make sure you wake me up
before I have to go to work so you can drop a dog off on your way to
work.

Press 15 to leave us an anonymous garbled message, letting us know
you have left a dog in our yard in the middle of January, which is in
fact, better than just leaving the dog with no message.

Press 16 if you are going to get angry because we are not going to
take your dog that you have had for 15 years, because it is not our
responsibility.

Press 17 if you are going to threaten to take your ten-year-old dog
to be euthanized because I won't take it.

Press18 if you're going to get angry because the volunteers had the
audacity to go on vacation and leave the dogs in care of a trusted
volunteer who is not authorized to take your personal pet.

Press 19 if you want one of our perfectly trained, housebroken, kid
and cat friendly purebred tiny dogs that we have an abundance of.

Press 20 if you want us to take your dog that has a slight aggression
problem, i.e. has only bitten a few people and killed your neighbors'
cats.

Press 21 if you have already called once and been told we don't take
personal surrenders but thought you would get a different person this
time with a different answer.

Press 22 if you want us to use space that would go to a stray to
board your personal dog while you are on vacation, free of charge, of
course.

Press 23 if it is Christmas Eve or Easter morning and you want me to
deliver an eight-week-old puppy to your house by 6:30 am before your
kids wake up.

Press 24 if you have bought your children a duckling, chick or baby
bunny for Easter and it is now Christmas and no longer cute.

Press 25 if you want us to take your female dog who has already had
ten litters, but we can't spay her because she is pregnant again and
it is against your religion.

Press 26 if you're lying to make one of our younger volunteers feel
bad and take your personal pet off your hands.

Press 27 if your cat is biting and not using the litter box because
it is declawed, but you are not willing to accept the responsibility
that the cat's behavior is altered because of your nice furniture.

Press 28 if your two-year-old male dog is marking all over your house
but you just haven't gotten around to having him neutered.

Press 29 if you previously had an outdoor only dog and are calling
because she is suddenly pregnant.

Press 30 if you have done "everything" to housebreak your dog and
have had no success but you don't want to crate the dog because it is
cruel.

Press 31 if you didn't listen to the message asking for an evening
phone number and you left your work number when all volunteers are
also working and you are angry because no one called you back.

Press 32 if you need a puppy immediately and cannot wait because
today is your daughter's birthday and you forgot when she was born.

Press 33 if your dog's coat doesn't match your new furniture and you
need a different color or breed.

Press 34 if your new love doesn't like your dog and you are too
stupid to get rid of the new friend (who will dump you in the next
month anyway) instead of the dog.

Press 35 if you went through all these presses and didn't hear
enough. This press will connect you to the sounds of tears being shed
by one of our volunteers who is holding a discarded old dog while the
vet mercifully frees him from the grief of missing his family.

WE SALUTE YOU, RESCUERS AND VOLUNTEERS!!!

Paid the price

Posted February 15, 2007 by bulldaisymom

For all the dogs that offer their lives in the service of man.

FDNY pipes, drums play as 9/11 dog led to final rest
6-year-old Rottweiler that developed bone cancer after helping
firefighters search for victims at Ground Zero got a hero's farewell
yesterday, hours before he was euthanized.

In a touching ceremony in Williamsburg, firefighters and community
activists honored Nature, who helped his master, now-retired FDNY Lt.
Gerard Owens of Ladder 5, for six days at the World Trade Center
after the 9/11 attacks.

Owens led Nature on his final walk for 10 blocks to the Paws and
Claws Animal Hospital, accompanied by the FDNY's Emerald Pipe and Drum Corps.

Nature, who had a large protrusion on his snout due to his incurable
and painful bone cancer, was led by a vet into the clinic, where he
was put to sleep.

"He served his country and is communit,y and paid the ultimate
price," said Phil DePaolo, head of the New York Community Council.
DePaolo organized the moving event, reminiscent of the emotional
funerals for fallen firefighters in the wake of 9/11.

"You are going to a better place now," DePaolo told the dog before he
was led away.

It is not clear whether Nature developed cancer from inhaling toxins
at Ground Zero, but the disease is not common in his breed, DePaolo noted.

Though Nature wasn't trained as a search-and-rescue K-9, Owens took
him to The Pile because there was a shortage of dogs, and he knew the
pup could help.

"The vet warned me when I brought him down there that his life span
may be cut in half," Owens said. "I took my chances, and that is
exactly what happened."
