They always start off by saying, "please adopt my baby". Well, if it were your baby, why would you just get rid of it when your life changed or times got tough?<br /><br />My family moved from New Mexico to South Carolina all on our own, no moving company, and no help, and my twin sons were just barely 2 years old. We would not have dreamt of leaving behind and re-homing our two dogs and 2 cats, who at the time, the dogs were both over 10 years old, and the cats over 5 yrs old, and who had traveled with just my hubby and I, just 8 years earlier...on another cross country trip from Maryland to New Mexico. Also without any movers or help.<br /><br />I know others feel differently about their animals, but once we adopt our dogs or cats, they are family, and we don't dump family just because our lifestyle changes or times get tough.<br /><br />~LisaLaughing Orca Ranchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03562627840013868980noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12003055.post-66809483344203620122012-02-06T20:28:53.549-07:002012-02-06T20:28:53.549-07:00All of my horses, except the mustangs, were reject...All of my horses, except the mustangs, were rejects...I used to gather up stray dogs and cats as a kid.
