Dogs Lives Matter.

I had to help that pregnant mama dog. She is having a litter of puppies. Someone neglected her & didn’t care about her or her babies. Most of us do care. That is when we become their voice & donate to their care. Mrs. Marlene Reeves makes the donations.

Contributions to suffering animals…

Contributions to suffering animals around the world are badly needed. It is sad to see and read about these terrible conditions but ignoring it is not an option. Caring people need to step up and pay attention and help out as much as they can. If everyone helps out in some way and gives to their favorite charity whatever that is, this world could be a much nicer place.

Too many emails from Cuddly. Every one is "urgent". It is annoying. Yes, there are many dogs and cats that need help, but not every single one is urgent. I have considered unsubscribing because of the avalanche of emails from Cuddly.
