SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 4, 2001

Back in August Bill Campbell donated $5,000 for a kennel watering system (which is still in the process of being designed and installed). We ordered a marble plaque as a memorial to Mr. Campbell's wife, Dolores Campbell, who was a strong advocate of animal welfare throughout her life. We will place the plaque beneath a new tree we have also ordered, which we will plant where visitors to Straydog will always be able to see this beautiful plaque.

Pat's Daily Dog Log - SUNDAY NOVEMBER 4 2001

Maggie spent the night in her kitchen kennel--too much gunfire in the distance

Last evening just as it was beginning to get dark, the cracking sound of gunfire could once again be heard in the distance. Who the heck is doing all this shooting every night? Bill and I wondered, unless we're in some sort of horrible hunting season.

Maggie in her kitchen kennel after another volley of gunshots in the distance panicked the young dog.

Poor Maggie is deathly afraid of the sounds of gunshots, fireworks and thunder, and she had already spent most of the day in the kitchen kennel due to the intermittent popping of gunfire in the distance. I thought it would be safe to put Maggie outside for the night once it began to get dark, but when we heard the gunfire again, I hurried to Maggie's outside kennel, which is right by our house. There sat Maggie in a panic in her entrance gate area. This time she had dug a hole beneath her inside kennel gate through to her outside entrance gate, and she was pawing at the gate with tremendous fear in her eyes, staring at me as if to say, "Hurry and get me inside the house!" It took this precious, frightened Black Lab over half an hour to calm down once she was in the kitchen kennel, and then she finally went peacefully to sleep on her soft blankets.

Maggie finally settles down after a half hour of shaking like a leaf

This morning at 2:30 when I got up to get ready to give Julie her three a.m. insulin injection, I took Maggie to her outside kennel again. As long as it's quiet, Maggie is fine outside.

STOP THE KILLING NOW!

(We received the above mailing from the Humane Society in June 2000.)

Please help us find ways to get more people to come to this website, which we hope will make more people aware of the tragic overpopulation problem, currently being alleviated throughout the world by the killing of healthy young (as well as older) dogs (and cats). We must make everyone aware of what must be done to stop the killing and solve the problem right now:

CHANGE THE MINDSET TO NO-KILL!

Changing the mindset of the vast majority of us humans to no-kill will mean we (all of us) will have to take care of the existing "surplus" in no-kill shelters like Straydog (continuing always to adopt out as many as we can) until there is no longer a surplus, which will happen when we get everyone to spay and neuter their pets.

With no-kill as our mindset everyone will very quickly realize how expensive it is to run no-kill shelters and how less expensive it will be to control population via spay and neuter rather than continuing to build more and more no-kill animal shelters. With no-kill as our mindset we will ultimately (and hopefully very quickly) eliminate the "surplus" of dogs (and cats) via the only acceptable method: Conception Control.

We will know we have achieved Conception Control when Killing is no longer the accepted conventional method of population control.
