Hi Stace, That was a good story. I worry about people like that Browder woman in Cali. There are folks that feel that a life jammed into a cage without enough exercise and freetime etc is better than euthanization......Sometimes I'm not sure. There are folks with a terrible OCD condition (collecters) that do more harm than good. It makes me nervous when people won't share their animals condition freely. We have 5 dogs and 11 cats. Split between the kennel and the house and it gets to be too much sometimes. We have plently of room for them 3000 sq ft house 10 acres two buildings etc. This woman has 26 animals in a 900 square foot home!! I worry about the animals....and by the way, you are not the BIGGEST softie, there are plenty of us with soft spots in our heads......God Bless the animals, for without them we are less...
I'm Stacey. I'm a 31(!)-year-old Wisconsin girl living in sunny South Florida. The highlights in my life are my lovely boyfriend, my aloof cats, my adorable/adoring stepdogs, my two lumbering tortoises, select family members, being outside, being underwater, taking pictures, yadda yadda. Stay tuned for lots of babbling!
A small boy lived by the ocean. He loved the creatures of the sea, especially the starfish, and he spent much of his time exploring the seashore.
One day the boy learned there would be a minus tide that would leave the starfish stranded on the sand.
When the tide went out, he went down to the beach, began picking up the stranded starfish, and tossing them back into the ocean.
An elderly man who lived next door came down to the beach to see what the boy was doing. Seeing the man's quizzical expression, the boy paused as he approached. "I'm saving the starfish!" the boy proudly declared.
When the neighbor saw all of the stranded starfish he shook his head and said: "I'm sorry to disappoint you, young man, but if you look down the beach, there are stranded starfish as far as the eye can see. And if you look up the beach the other way, it's the same. One little boy like you isn't going to make much of a difference."
The boy thought about this for a moment. Then he reached his small hand down to the sand, picked up another starfish, tossed it out into the ocean, and said: "Well, I sure made a difference for that one!"
