For 8 years of my entire life….

I missed summers, winters, girlfriends, vacations, outings….

In the summer, the strays are thirsty, and I have been walking every day for a year to feed the dog who runs at our shelter, but unfortunately, no matter what we did, we could not save her. Then I also have ten kittens, near my house, that I have to feed….

In winter it gets cold and my thoughts are always there. I do everything I can to keep them warm … I have lost friends but also my respect for people. Not a day goes by that someone calls me and says they can’t keep their dog anymore because they got married, moved away, went to college, expecting a child, divorced, working long hours…. Why did you get a dog? Didn’t you know that one day your life would change???? What do you think a dog is? An object that we have as long as it suits us?????

8 years ago, I had a good life. A clean house girlfriends friends…, but now what I have gained during my long devotion to these defenseless souls, I trade for NOTHING in the world.

Growing up, I learned what true, selfless love means next to them. I learned to fight and not feel comfortable. I became strong by wanting, and not by having to give up or carry the enormous weight. Now I feel like I’m at a dead end….well a sweet dead end, if I can describe it that way…. All my time, all my dreams are with them. I have no regrets and will never regret it because hundreds have already been rescued and adopted through our efforts. MY WHOLE LIFE, THIS…
