I was just wondering what everyone wishes or dreams about. i wish that i had a successful career. I wish I could be a vet. With the knowledge of veterinary medicine, i could gather some money and travel to Mexico to open a shelter there. Or at least, catch the dogs and cats that are homeless, give them shots, deworming, and fix them so they won't reproduce. It saddens me when I go to an outdoor taco place and I see a poor, thin dog hanging around looking for scraps to eat and the owners of the taco place shuing them away. Most Mexicans see dogs and cats as pests. The ones that do have dogs and cats don't bother to spay or neuter them, giving them shots, and proper nutrition. They just give them whatever the people have for dinner. Most people in Mexico are poor themselves. Though not too poor. They have their horses and ohter livestock. I've only seen a few purebred dogs. The rest are mixed. I've seen dogs mate alot. I want to educate the Mexicans on how to be responsible pet owners. I was talking to this guy and I told him that I would love to have a dog when I get a house. And he asks me if I would keep him in the house or in the backyard. I told him both. He says that dogs(and cats) are not good inside the house because of their hair. I told him most dogs and cats that leave hair are the real furry kind. But I told him that we can lessen the shedding by bathing the dog once a week and grooming him everyday for a half an hour. Also a good quality food. I've started a small campaign. The owners of the house were I live told me that some relatives have a cat with kittens. They asked me if I want one. I told them no. I also suggest if they don't want any more cats than to have the female spayed. They listened to me. And now that the local animal shelter here in Salt lake charges only $10.00 to spay or neuter a cat.
Here is another dream of mine. I had a beginning desire to volunteer at a shelter and learn how to train dogs so they can be adopted. There are many labrador mixed breeds and I am sure if they received proper training that they will be good guide or companion animals. I've seen it on tv. Or they can be therapy dogs. I want to learn how to place animals with the right people. Too many times, I've seen dogs who were abandoned because of poor training. I would like to foster dogs, especially those destined for life with the blind, deaf or other services.
