It was heartwarming to read your comments about your rescued pets. <br /><br />And how wonderful to hear from a reader in Azerbaijan!<br /><br />Before I name the winner, I'd like to suggest to Calisa Rhose that your Lucy might be allergic to the chemicals in the flea collar!! Sadie did not respond well to a flea product we put on her. It made her lethargic, and as you mentioned, it changed her disposition. <br /><br />But think about it, the flea collar is putting a pesticide right onto the dog's skin and into the blood stream!! We live in the South and fleas are a problem, but we had to stop using that product. My daughter dusts her dog with diatomaceous earth!! Seems to be working. <br /><br />On to the winner!<br /><br />I let Sadie chose the winner. I put everyone's name on individual slips of paper, tossed them in the air over her head and the first one her nose touched won! <br /><br />The winner of one of my ebooks is......Hywela Lyn. <br /><br />gingerGinger Hansonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01040939075878662399noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2756057931617872837.post-68364932555375353152012-10-31T12:32:24.739-07:002012-10-31T12:32:24.739-07:00I had no idea that October is Adopt A Shelter Dog ...I had no idea that October is Adopt A Shelter Dog Month.<br />Thanks for the information.<br /><br />Adila<br />(from Azerbaijan) Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06109238047663466907noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2756057931617872837.post-46385893847126455112012-10-31T09:20:39.140-07:002012-10-31T09:20:39.140-07:00Hi Debbi.

I have a rescued Jack Russell, who was badly treated in the past, but is the sweetest, most affectionate little dog one could wish for. Rescues certainly deserve a second chance and are SO rewarding and return your love a hundredfold!Hywela Lynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13789711554354184386noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2756057931617872837.post-30076348595058999672012-10-30T07:50:36.175-07:002012-10-30T07:50:36.175-07:00I definitely believe in adopting homeless pets.

If we put a flea collar on her her disposition and personality completely transforms. We suspect it's the odor she doesn't like. Her fave game?

I agree whole-heartedly with you about adopting from shelters when looking for your next pet. We've had our ex-racing greyhound for almost three years now and she is such a huge part of the family. I believe these second-chance animals KNOW it and bond even stronger to their owners because of it.

You write about a very important thing. I hate when people are treating their pets badly and make them suffer.
