"I have always been a big animal lover, I can't imagine mistreating any animal alive. Please don't leave your animal tied up outside, he can't learn anyting that way. He does not understand why he is in "jail". Treat him like the memeber of the family that he is. In turn they will bring you the most unconditional love you will ever know!"

~ My Country Heart
