Thankful

I am so lucky. While all the dogs and cats of New Orleans are desperately trying to stay alive, I get to be spoiled by my mommy and daddy. They keep me dry and fed and love me more than anyone else has ever done. No one has ever really taken much time for me. Granted it was hard to be the center of attention when I was at various foster homes with generous people who were just trying to care for all the animals there. But at my new home, I get to be the star attraction everyday. I think of all the animals in New Orleans struggling, drowning, getting beaten up or attacked, starving, dehydrating, and suffering from the heat while at the same time I get to be in the air conditioning, fed twice a day, play with countless toys, and be pet and just be cared for and acknowledged and it breaks my heart that others are suffering. I am counting my blessings today and even made a contribution to the Humane Society to try to help some of my friends down south. May God look over them and take pity on them.
