Welcome to War and Pets…

Here, loyalty and sacrifice rub shoulders with the hard truths of life. For some of the animals, it’s a pause—a second chance to find the warmth of a home and the kindness of a lap. For others, it’s the final chapter, one written with as much dignity and care as the people here can muster. And for those who walk these halls every day, cleaning cages, soothing fears, and whispering encouragement, it’s a daily lesson in the beauty of doing what you can with what you have.

Today, a lady stopped. She had a nice smell, like sunshine and peanut butter. I stood up, wagging my tail as hard as I could. She looked at me, smiled a little, but then she saw the puppy two kennels down. The one with the big floppy ears. She cooed at him, called him "adorable." Me? I got a quick pat and the back of her hand as she moved on. Figures.

I quickly apologized to the clerk, offering to clean up the mess if she had the supplies. But instead of being upset, the clerk just laughed and reassured me that it happens more often than you'd think.
