Playtime
Written by admin on February 24, 2009 – 6:02 am -
Back by popular demand, more footage of my dogs playing in a horse pasture. Just over a year old here, they were both rescued abandoned puppies (from separate litters). The white one, a pointer, was dumped in the woods along with his 12 litter mates, but no mother. The dark one, a pitbull/lab mix, was dumped on a country road known for heavy traffic. As you can see, they like their new home very much. ^_^ They play like this together everyday.
The horses are retired polo & race horses. Two are thoroughbreds & the other is a paint. They get along fairly well with the dogs playing around them considering everything. If they were younger, they would be much less tolerant of the dogs’ antics. As it is, they just look at the dogs like they’re just crazy idiots, which while they’re playing they pretty much are.
Go to your local animal shelter the next time you are looking for a cat or dog. Rescued pets truly appreciate being saved, realizing just how close they’ve come to losing their lives. Pure breeds show up at shelters all of the time, but I urge you to also consider the many mixed breeds they offer. Mutts genetically have hybrid vigor, making them generally more healthy and vital throughout their lives. And remember to spay and neuter your pets. Please help end the cycle of neglect and abuse these sweet animals have had to endure.
petfinder.com is an excellent and handy resource for connecting you with needy animals in the United States. The Humane Society & your local animal control (the pound) are also good places to look for a pet in need of adopting. If you get dogs from pet stores, you generally are supporting the puppy mill industry which is riddled with abusive and inhumane practices.
