How to identify a Meth Lab (not what you're thinking...funny!)

   As a law enforcement officer, I have been approached by several people lately wanting to know how to identify a Meth Lab.

Here is a picture of four Labs. I think it's pretty obvious which one
is the Meth Lab. I hope this helps.

Let me know if I can be of any further service in this matter.

I hope you got a chuckle out of this like I did. Silly pooches! Animals bring us so much pleasure and laughter as our companions, they are pure and innocent, and show unconditional love! Let us love them back by spay and neutering! And help save a life by adopting a homeless shelter pet! Thank you!

"The truth behind shelters. This is a great example of what happens to our pets when we neglect them, fail to give them a second chance, and think of them as 'disposable' objects. Get it together people, pets are NOT garbage!! Dropping them off at the pound is just as cruel as abuse! Behind closed doors, you'll never know what happens... Your precious pet is doomed for death! And there is no chance at places such as Miami Dade Animal Services. This is one of the worst shelters your four-legged friends could end up at! These particular shelters are "high kill", show no compassion, and conditions of the facility are often atrocious! YOU just killed your own pet! They have no voice, and so they have no chance! If you dump your pet at the local pound, be aware of what will happen to your beloved pet!
Please spay/neuter your animals to prevent further pet overpopulation! And make ADOPTION your first OPTION!!!! We are their only hope, and chance for survival. We are their voice!"

A Reminder to Us All - The Starfish Story

The Starfish Story

Once upon a time, there was a wise man who used to go to the ocean to do his writing. He had a habit of walking on the beach before he began his work.

One day, as he was walking along the shore, he looked down the beach and saw a human figure moving like a dancer. He smiled to himself at the thought of someone who would dance to the day, and so, he walked faster to catch up.

As he got closer, he noticed that the figure was that of a young man, and that what he was doing was not dancing at all. The young man was reaching down to the shore, picking up small objects, and throwing them into the ocean.

He came closer still and called out "Good morning! May I ask what it is that you are doing?"

The young man paused, looked up, and replied "Throwing starfish into the ocean."

"I must ask, then, why are you throwing starfish into the ocean?" asked the somewhat startled wise man.

To this, the young man replied, "The sun is up and the tide is going out. If I don't throw them in, they'll die."

Upon hearing this, the wise man commented, "But, young man, do you not realize that there are miles and miles of beach and there are starfish all along every mile? You can't possibly make a difference!"

At this, the young man bent down, picked up yet another starfish, and threw it into the ocean. As it met the water, he said, "It made a difference for that one."



I know that we cannot save them all, but I am so proud of the effort that everyone in our rescue family puts in to these furbabies! Some days you may not feel like you make a difference, and you may not remember the power of one, but you make a difference with each and every animal that passes you, and that you pass on.

Love to you all and thank you for everything you have done! Please remember the Starfish Story.

You are the heart of these animals, and their angels, no matter how much or in what capacity, you touch each one!

A Message to Our Beloved Pets (and human visitors)

The following was found posted very low on a refrigerator door... Dear Dogs and Cats: The dishes on the floor with the paw prints are yours and contain your food. The other dishes are mine and contain my food. Placing a paw print in the middle of my plate does not mean that is is suddenly your food, nor do I find that aesthetically pleasing in the slightest. The stairway was not designed by NASCAR and is not a racetrack. Racing me to the top of the stairs is not the object. Tripping me doesn't help because I fall faster than you can run. I cannot buy anything bigger than a king sized bed. I am very sorry about this. Do not think I will continue sleeping on the couch to ensure your comfort. Dogs and cats can actually curl up in a ball when they sleep. It Is not necessary to sleep perpendicular to each other, stretched out to the fullest extent possible. I also know that sticking tails straight out and having tongues hanging out on the other end to maximize space that you are taking up, is nothing but sarcasm. For the last time, there is no secret exit from the bathroom! If, by some miracle, I beat you there and manage to get the door shut, it is not necessary to claw, whine, meow, try to turn the knob or get your paw under the edge in an attempt to open the door. I must exit through the same door I entered. Also, I have been using the bathroom for years - canine/feline attendance is not required. The proper order for kissing is: Kiss me first, then go smell the other dog or cat's bum. I cannot stress this enough. Finally, in fairness, dear pets, I have posted the following message on the front door: TO ALL NON-PET OWNERS WHO VISIT AND LIKE TO COMPLAIN ABOUT OUR PETS: (1) They live here. You don't. (2) If you don't want their hair on your clothes, stay off the furniture. That's why they call it 'fur'-niture. (3) I like my pets a lot better than I like most people. (4) To you, they are animals. To me, they are adopted sons/daughters who are short, hairy, walk on all fours and don't speak clearly. Remember, dogs and cats are better than kids because they: (1) eat less, (2) don't ask for money all the time, (3) are easier to train, (4) normally come when called, (5) never ask to drive the car, (6) don't hang out with drug-using people; (7) don't smoke or drink, (8) don't want to wear your clothes, (9) don't have to buy the latest fashions, (10) don't need money for college and (11) if they they get pregnant, you can sell their children....
