Kind of difficult to smile sometimes
Well, the financial world is a like a totally ignored litter box these days.
People are losing their homes, jobs, businesses and now they are watching their retirement accounts go down the drain. Is it any wonder that they aren’t out shopping? Is it any wonder they aren’t hitting the malls and spending what money they have left?
There’s another sad part to this story. Most local pet shelters are filled to the brim with pets that people have surrendered because they just can no longer afford to care for them or the people have lost their home and are moving into places where pets aren’t allowed.
When you shop for groceries this week, please remember the food banks and animal shelters. Both could use your donations.
Have a wonderful weekend and please remember to share what you can.
Sincerely,
Fred the Cat (the cat who loves you guys!)

Gracie the newly adopted shelter dog thinks that this is the best blog post ever.
When the world says "contract" we say "expand."
Your heart, a smile, your breathing, a donation - no matter how small - it all matters.
Thanks Fred- Gracie the dog, BooBoo the cat and all the We Are crew send you and the PoP family our love.
I'm so far down the hole this month, I won't be able to make it out for years.
Fred, you are so lucky the feline world has nothing like the stock market and retirement plans. I wish I was a smart cat like yourself?
Fred, thanks for reminding us that this is affecting pets also. I'll be sure to make a few donations today.
Excellent litter box analogy, by the way. You said it better than I ever could.
Oh yes. All the animals that have been foreclosed upon. This is so sad. Must support shelters and rescue groups. Yup.
Luf, Us
And we guys love you right back, Fred.
Great post yet again Fred!
Fred, you are the most thoughtful kitty. Will definitely bear this in mind. We humans have really messed things up, haven't we?
Wait... I thought the patriotic response to calamity was to shop!!!
Isn't that what Dubbya told Americans to do after 9/11?
Last I checked, an ignored litterbox doesn't empty itself :-)
But I get your point.
And will take it to heart.
some of us were already struggling, so this is more of the same. the good news is, we're accustomed to less.
Wise words, Fred, as usual. It's especially sad for the large-breed doggies, because the apartments that take pets usually allow small breeds only.
Will do Fred. Wisest feline around.
you are so great fred.
thank you for remembering the Food Banks and the Critter Shelters..you are a good soul Fred...Xena has a crush on you...( and she is an old gal and not loving many these days...)
my three little cats, Will, Grace and Jack will always be fed well...and I often contribute to the shelters to keep those babies safe.
PoP... thanks for that reminder. But if people truly loved the pets they've have, they would find a way to feed and care for them as they would any family member.
