As many of you know I love animals. If you come to our house you are fully aware of our extra family members. Where we live we get drop offs all of the time. Over the course of about 10 years we have probably had a dog or cat show up every 2-3 months. We always bring them in and give them food and let them hang out to see if someone claims them or if they will fit in with our family. If they are aggressive with our other animals or us we have to try to get them a new home or call the dog catcher to come and get them. It is heart breaking every time. There has only been once that we actually found one a home. So we know what the odds are that they are in a good home somewhere if they leave here with the dog catcher. Not once has anyone ever came and claimed one of them. Our oldest dog Bandi was a dropped off about 6 years ago. Since the first day she showed up we have wondered why someone would do that, she is such a great dog. We have cats come and go all of the time. I actually got into an argument with a man over shooting a cat in our gravel pit. I tried to make him give me the cat instead and he wouldn't. I am still mad at myself for not forcing him to give me the cat. I know this sounds crazy but I am sure my sister in law Megan has my back on this! We had a little black lab show up a day before Thanksgiving. She is going to stay and join the rest of the Lavery crew. It is always nice to think maybe someone just lost her and is looking for her but we all know that she is another drop off. All of the Ray family was here on Thanksgiving and the kids fell in love with her. She started out being named BUD until we told them all that she was a female. So Mylee and Baylee changed her name to LILY. We are keeping that one and her name is LILY. Every time we walk out the door she is there to greet us and so sweet. She doesn't expect much just a pat on the head. She is great with the kids and other animals too.For those of you who have dogs you know that if you give them love and attention they will do anything for you. A dogs sole purpose is to love and serve their owners. They are loyal and all they want in return is a pat on the head and to be played with.
We all know they can be a pain and chew up your entire couch but they would still love you if you chewed up their dog house!
