Now shelters are turning away surrenders because there is just no space available, leaving the owners to instead abandon their pets in the streets, hoping someone will take them in or animal control will pick them up as strays. I do rescue here in the bay area and we simply can't keep up with the exponential increase of cats and dogs left homeless or abandoned. Everyday, my heart breaks anew with each homeless dog or cat we have to turn away because there just aren't enough homes for them.

"with tears" It must be extremely difficult for you to see this. It's difficult just hearing about it.

Would like to start with the weekly assignments.
Do I just post the date I took the picture with it...or does it need to come from the camera?
Hate to ruin a photo with the dated posted over it from the camera.

In my industry, most folks haven't paid too much heed to the economic changes. Sure, they'll cut a little here and there, if it's convenient, but not to the point where it interferes with toys or "pretty things".
I think this guy is a fitting example of that mindset. Torn, ratty old blue jeans, but still sporting that Omega watch. Good times.
