RE: Hello Steemit! Six years and 52 dogs later and here I am, a dog whisperer!

I adore you for feeding them when you can. We do what we can, with what we have, when the time comes. I do what I can here, in my area and it is all I can do, even though I want to do more. You keep feeding those strays and if you can, volunteer at those shelters and give those dogs some positive human interaction. Now, I want to come visit Cairo. I wish I could travel around the world volunteering my time to make things better. I am grateful to be able to help the ones I can though. Purebreds are not all that. They have medical problems and mental problems that the mixes do not have because of all the inbreeding to keep the line pure. I cannot really afford to do what I do for dogs, but my heart does not see money as an obstacle. It is my time and knowledge that is valuable to the dogs. I am patient, understanding, calm and assertive. I want to do more too. I live in a small condo apartment with my husband and daughter, a dog and a cat. At any given time I also have a rescue to rehab. I just cannot say no to a dog in need, unless I already have one in my home that I am working with. Then I am forced to say no because I do not have the space for more than one. My heart bleeds already for the ones I have to turn down. I weep when I see the cages full of dogs ready to be slaughtered for food. Dogs are so much more intelligent than food. At least the strays are free to roam and find food, not be the food. It is sad and I hope it changes soon. We do what we can. Much love to you!

Later Gater!
