What a bittersweet list. And so true. It breaks my heart when people abuse animals thinking they don't have these complex emotions. Number 10 on the list brought tears to my eyes. Thanks for sharing this, Chloe Piper.

I don't understand animal abuse any more than child abuse. It's too bad that a list even has to be made.

Thank you, Chloe Piper, and welcome to VP. Please join in on any thread you desire.

Hi, rondell! You're such a sweet person.

I agree with your comments.

O/T: I, too, welcome the OP and the other new posters we have here. Sadly, some long-time posters seem to have "left the building," and I miss them.

Hi dooBdoo, my sweet and wonderful friend! It's so good to "see" here more often. I think of you often, even if we don't meet up all that much.

I'm sure Chloe Piper will see our greetings, and be okay with a few exchanges between us.

I really love animals, and it makes me sick to know when they're being abused. I saw some information about the strays being adopted in Russia by the Olympians. I hope they're not stopped from bringing them back home.

Thanks, dear rondell! I don't read or post here as much as before, but I always enjoy seeing your "take" on topics.

The coverage of the treatment of stray dogs in Russia was upsetting, and I do wonder if there will be a problem getting the adopted pups out of the country. One benefit to these stories, though: it's always good to focus the media lens on the plight of animals needing better care.

#7 Should read: Do not ever hit me.

#5 Should read: Talk to me.

#10 is the hardest thing to do for someone who is owned by a pet. But it is so important to remember. The final act of love. They would do it for you.....without hesitation.

Thanks for posting. With a few tweaks here & there, these Rules could apply to all of God's creations. Sweet musings.

It is the hardest, but it is with love and I believe they feel it and know it.

That looks just like my boy - my boy is a chocolate lab but a very dark chocolate. Can't tell for sure if the one in the pic is chocolate or black but that looks just like my Charlie.
