Paws for Japan

A few months ago, my husband and I had to make the difficult decision to let our dog go.  Fanny’s body was failing and her spirit could no longer be contained in her broken body.  We feel so fortunate to have had her in our lives, for as long as we did.  She was a very special dog and she will always be in our hearts.

She was about 8 years old when we adopted her from an animal rescue organization, The Milo Foundation.  It is because of an animal rescue group that I was able to find Fanny and have such a special dog in my life.  And World Vets help animal rescue agencies around the world with their important work.

It is in her memory that I post for Paws for Japan today.  I think about all those dogs and cats that are lost or hurt in Japan, looking for something to eat or some water to drink, searching for their humans, not understanding what is going on around them… My heart grows heavy thinking about it.

During a crisis like this, it is even more important that you have all your loved ones around you, including your 4-legged friends.*  I hope that you will find time today to go to the World Vets Japan Disaster Relief website to donate a few dollars for a worthy cause.  Because our dogs and cats (and other pets) cannot speak for themselves, we need to be their voice.  Please take a moment today to help World Vets with their mission.

This may not be the most eloquent post but it is heartfelt and sincere.  I hope you will take the time to donate what you can to World Vets and help them do their important work in Japan.  If you want to learn more about World Vets, check out Pawcurious Vet Blog–that is where I first learned about them.

*I know that some people have feathered friends or scaley/reptilian friends or wet/amphibious friends, etc.  I just didn’t have a good word to capture them all accurately!
