Pet reminder

Snowbirds who are not taking their adopted pets with them when they start for home after Easter (shame on you) really need to make arrangements for another home for the furry friends – and not at one of the already overloaded animal shelters. Start looking for another spot for them NOW. Those of us left behind with your pets are horrified seeing them shell shocked, whining, crying and barking for their families  – and these are the lucky ones that aren’t running the streets.
