Well hello neighbors! How are you? The past couple of days, I have been seeing some things that are pretty unsettling to me. Soooo, lets chat. Now, I am REALLY disturbed when it comes to seeing animal abuse. Now, I know you guys are probable saying, "Well, weren't you in the Army? Seeing things like feed lots shouldn't bother you at all." Ummmm, WRONG! Thee is a pretty big difference to me. I am not really sure why, but I think I have an idea. Lemme start by saying I know that when it comes to things like feed lots, they are necessary for me to eat. I'm not saying that I'm gonna go vegan or something, but I just don't wana see it. On the other hand, when it comes to domesticated animals like dogs, cats, etc, I just wana strangle these people who abuse their animals!! I have always been this way but it got significantly worse when I got my dog that I have now. His name is Duke. Here he is......
As you can see, I LOVE MY BUDDY!!! Now, before him, I wasn't such a big advocate of animal welfare. Don't get me wrong, I definitely didn't like animal abuse, but I never got upset like I do now. This dog changed my life. Due to some of the things that happened to me in the Army, I now get seizures. When I have the seizures, I have to I guess you could say be "woken up". Now this is hard because I have these seizures most of the time at night. I would have to have someone watching over me all the time. Before I got Duke, it was hard. Now, when I got him (he was originally my moms dog. Long story) he was really young. He's been around me since he was 6 weeks old, but he became MY DOG when he turned like 6 months. So one nigh, I have a seizure, a pretty bad one apparently. I "come to" with Duke licking my face. I was pretty bloody because I had busted my head open when I fell down and what not. Apparently Duke had seen me have the seizure and "woke me up." Had it not been for him, I could not be here rite now. Ever since then, he warns me when he feels me about to have one, and "wakes me up" after I have one. So I'm trying to get him certified through the VA for a service dog. Now, all Duke (and pretty much ALL dogs) asks for in return is to be loved. All dogs just wana be loved. People abuse dogs and the dogs are sometimes just as happy to see their abusers as if they hadn't been abused. It's crazy for me to imagine why someone would abuse a dog. Man's best friend rite? So, that is why it's really hard for me to watch animals get slaughtered for food, because it makes me think of things like dog abuse. It breaks my heart. So hopefully that sheds a little light on why I am the way I am. So until next time neighbors!

I also believe that animal abuse is horrible. While I was watching Food Inc., I had to actually cover my eyes when I saw some of the ways they were harming those animals. Don't get me wrong, I love food and eating meat but I don't believe that they have to suffer in inhumane ways in order for me to eat. I am actually considering going organic because of the things I've learned from the movie. It is also very touching that you have a dog that loves you just as much as you love it. Getting him certified as a service animal sounds like a great idea. Thanks for sharing.
