The Cons About Living with Multiple Dogs
Don't get me wrong, I adore having a large pack! I wouldn't have it any other way and life with just one dog wouldn't cut it for me, but there are things I miss about having just Winry, the first of the pack, and things that are very frustrating about having more than one. Even more so than the obvious and first on the list, which is money. If one dog costs a certain amount, you can bet that a second dog will most likely double that! Now, over the years and with many foster dogs coming and going, I have plenty of supplies to where I can bring home a new dog or puppy and not spend a cent on things like bowls, collars, leashes, toys, etc; however, they still raise your cost in total with eating extra food and the big whammy—vet bills. Don't let that deter you, though! Having a second, third, fourth, fifth, or sixth dog is very rewarding and worth it in every way, but that isn't what this post is about, is it?

Why You Should Actually Support 'Kill Shelters'
I know, I know... am I crazy?! Support places that murder healthy animals? It sounds ridiculous when you say it like that, but hear me out. First off, we need to dive into what a "kill shelter" even is. The term "kill shelter" is given to places that euthanize healthy and adoptable dogs, cats, and everything in between. This means the animals can be completely adoptable. As in, they're not just healthy, but sweet, friendly, and playful; puppies and even kittens, too. Yes, the perfect family pet in a lot of cases, but why? Why would anyone do such a thing and how on earth could I support that? Well, we have to go even deeper into why euthanizing a healthy animal is even an accepted thing in the first place. It seems rather barbaric but is, in fact, a requirement for these organizations. They don't enjoy doing it and the workers are just as sad as you are, trust me.
