People who think they know a country can find out the most intriguing things about in the wonderful world of dog blogs.

Yes, there are some Amish/Mennonite that treat their livestock & dogs & cats very humanely... but that is the exception & not the rule. The Budget newspaper is written by various "scribes" that write-in to the newspaper and report the goings-on in their district. You would be appalled at the cavalier attitude of the scribes regarding animal treatment. It is nothing unusual for a scribe to write in, saying that some boys caught a skunk by the tail while waiting for church services to start... and bashed it against a tree until it was dead. The report might end with "Boys will be boys". Anything that doesn't have a soul, the Amish/Mennonite culture preach is valueless. **But**... there are exceptions with some Amish/Mennonite folks who have compassion. But they are the exception and definitely not the rule. It is what it is and nobody is going to change that... unfortunately.

It is a terrible time for pets.<br /><br />We know that you will make the right decision about Chipper. <br /><br />It is true what you say about the puppy mills in Lancaster.

Especially now he's found a friend in Kirsten - they will be good for one another.<br />Hoping Eva's health won't deteriorate any further and she can keep going as she is. <br />It's hot here too, in Spain, and we're spending most of the days indoors with the air-con on. Fortunately there is a pool to cool off in when it gets too hot. Unusually for a Labrador, Inca won't take the plunge ! Just as well perhaps, because the chemicals used to keep the pool sparkling clean might play havoc with her skin.Coppa's girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16459503600694841117noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1003916153932012549.post-38829595414631971632018-07-03T00:12:07.427-04:002018-07-03T00:12:07.427-04:00I agree, where did May and June go?
