Good News and Bad News

There is good news and there is bad news.

The good news is that an abandoned cat has survived a 17-floor fall from a high rise apartment building. Now it is doing well at an animal shelter after surgery for broken teeth. It is a miracle that it gets a second chance to live the other eight lives.

The bad news is that many people left their pets behind when moving. This is one of the reasons why many landlords do not let their properties to pet owners. This also is the main cause that animal shelters everywhere are full of abandoned pets. And many of our parks are populated with unwanted rabbits.

Owing a pet is like having a child. They are blessed events in life that also inconvenience us and cost us a plenty to keep them. Both pets and kids come into our lives by our own choices. But kids leave when they grow up to have their own families or to pursue their personal dreams. Our pets for better or worse stay with us for life. We do not leave our kids behind when we move. Then why would we not want to do the same for our pets? - Ayee
