January 14, 2010 - Think Lost, not Stray - a post where I talk about the idea that animals that come into the shelter system shouldn't be thought about as dumped, or stray - they should be thought of as simply "lost" - and their owners should be looked for by Animal Control departments - and that there's a movement in progressive animal control departments who truly embrace no kill philosophies.

November, 2010 - I feel very uncomfortable about this - Dogs Deserve Better's Iphone app where you can send them dogs who are chained up "on the fly", and then walk away from the dog feeling like you've helped the dog - which to me is not right. Dogs Deserve Better disagreed - and summarily booted me out of their organization because of this post after 7 blissful years with the group.
