I just learned that the second dog I brought back from Turkey found a forever home. I brought back 4. One was a puppy and it went to an Illinois rescue group. I'm assuming she found a home.) Dickens' foster family fell in love with him, and Pippi has a home.
That only leaves Gatsby, and out of the four dogs I brought along on my flight back home, he's the best one. (And no Michael, I don't think we should adopt him. Radar is enough for us.)
Thinking about what the Turkish people do to help these dogs have a better life... Thinking about what some charitable Americans do as they do mission work in our country and abroad... Thinking about what some of my friends do--small things--to help homeless people...
It makes me realize I can do more. I know I can get more involved (and get more accomplished) when it comes to causes I believe in.
I also know I can write on a more consistent basis. Whining about how busy I am will not help.
How about you? What can you do more of?
Not sure what I can do more of, except for cleaning out the clutter in my home.
ReplyDeleteDonna--You and me both!
DeleteAlways willing to help anyone in need.
ReplyDeleteLinda--Did you recognize yourself? You were the one I was writing about in this post, the friend who helped the homeless person...
DeleteYou're right, Sioux. There is always more we can do. Sometimes it's just a matter of keeping our eyes open.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful dogs, too. I meant to add that. :)
ReplyDeleteLisa--You're right. Sometimes we just need to be a bit more aware.
DeleteAnd yes, they are wonderful-looking dogs.
I'm pretty sure I can do more of everything...except complain. I'm at the top level of that one, I think.
ReplyDeleteVal--But I can't imagine why you'd complain. Hick makes things soooo easy for you.
DeleteI can remember years ago our shelter brought back dogs abandoned after Hurricane Katrina. It took one a long time, but he finally went home. I'm sure your special guy will soon go home too!
