"Homeless pets: until there are none, rescue one."? <br /><br />Thanks for joining in the conversation and especially for sharing your pictures.Lesliehttp://bringingupbella214.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4228355467064891425.post-82287290560748422862012-02-23T07:41:33.334-05:002012-02-23T07:41:33.334-05:00Awwww!

I stumbled onto your blog last night & saw a few people I knew grinning back at me! <br /><br />Leslie, here is a story that helps me put things in perspective when things just seem so overwhelming and you wonder if you can make a difference...<br /><br />One day a man was walking <br />along the beach, when he noticed a boy picking something up and gently <br />throwing it into the ocean. Approaching the boy, he asked, “What are <br />you doing?”<br /> <br /> The youth replied, “Throwing starfish back into the<br /> ocean. The surf is up and the tide is going out. If I don’t throw them<br /> back, they’ll die.”<br /> <br /> “Son,” the man said, “don’t you realize <br />there are miles and miles of beach and hundreds of starfish? You can’t <br />make a difference!”<br /> <br /> After listening politely, the boy bent <br />down, picked up another starfish, and threw it back into the surf. <br />Then, smiling at the man, he said…”I made a difference for that one.”Trish Nadanhttp://www.facebook.com/PatriciaBurnsNadannoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4228355467064891425.post-16994843786674132832012-02-20T10:46:36.048-05:002012-02-20T10:46:36.048-05:00Thanks Pamela, I knew as soon as I received them t...Thanks Pamela, I knew as soon as I received them that I wanted to share all these smiling faces on the blog. :)<br /><br />It is interesting to know that such a simple 'solution' exists to help alleviate an on-going problem. Sadly, however, it is not "the" answer. And the real answer is far more complicated. <br /><br />As I've seen in my dealings with animal rescue in Puerto Rico, cultural attitudes are what we really need to address in our search for a long-term solution and that is a far more difficult task. <br /><br />I was starting to write a book here but have instead decided there will be a post coming soon on some more of my thoughts. Thank you for the inspiration. :)Lesliehttp://bringingupbella214.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4228355467064891425.post-75651404128417803202012-02-17T17:52:37.613-05:002012-02-17T17:52:37.613-05:00Thanks for sharing the wonderful photos.

It's amazing to think that there is such a simple (but not easy) solution to dogs dying in high-kill shelters--take them to other areas where they can be adopted.<br /><br />I hope each of these animals find wonderful, forever homes.Pamelahttp://www.somethingwagging.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4228355467064891425.post-77476117582319853112012-02-16T21:22:38.868-05:002012-02-16T21:22:38.868-05:00I really LOVE the smiles on the faces of all the v...I really LOVE the smiles on the faces of all the volunteers.

But their smiles, their dedication, their joy at saving these dogs puts a smile on my face I can't quite describe. :]Lesliehttp://bringingupbella214.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4228355467064891425.post-4125934852900621882012-02-16T21:18:49.633-05:002012-02-16T21:18:49.633-05:00We see a lot of the "awful".

So when I got these photos in an email from a transport volunteer, I KNEW I had to share them here - we need to see more of the "wonderful". I know we need to realize the awful is out there but sometimes we have to be reminded there's good in the world too. :]Lesliehttp://bringingupbella214.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4228355467064891425.post-55917279759332728462012-02-16T21:16:27.259-05:002012-02-16T21:16:27.259-05:00Don't they make you feel good?Don't they make you feel good?Lesliehttp://bringingupbella214.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4228355467064891425.post-4508311065528977352012-02-16T21:16:15.462-05:002012-02-16T21:16:15.462-05:00I got an email with all these pictures in it and I...I got an email with all these pictures in it and I just couldn't wait to share it here.
