About Us 

 My goal is to help others gain the love of animals. If I have helped just one person to see that how we treat animals is important, then I have been successful in what I've set out to do. Yes, animals were created for our use, they are meant to be in subjection to us. It is OK to eat them. They are also meant for our enjoyment and companionship. Not for us to abuse, destroy or torture or be ready to give up when we are through with them.

 I have a great love for animals. I have always had at least one or more pets in our life. I have loved living being on farms, helping out with the chores, milking the cows, feeding the calf's etc. Watching all the animal mate, give birth and nurturing there young. Most would say, it was a sad day when any animal would die for any reason.

 As young adults we begin to realized it isn't that nice everywhere. A lot of other farmers and large company's are doing things that are absolutely horrible to poor innocent animals, most not even for the sake of eating it. And with that comes more horrors that are so incredible that it is beyond human comprehension of how any of these ones that were and are still committing these acts can possibly live with themselves.

 I have studied several different types of animals and have been in the search of a solution to animal abuse. I have reported any type of abuse I've been aware of to the proper authorities. I became involved with organizations such as PETA and others as well. I believe that the most important thing we can do is to speak out against animal abuse, teach others about animal abuse and to treat each and every animal that we could with the respect that they deserve. We all need to speak out and do our part in stopping animal abuse. That is why I have decided to build this site. I hope I come off loud and clear when we say, LETS ALL STOP ANIMAL ABUSE.  

 Concerning animals, there are many different cultures out there that believe differently on how, what or what not to eat. My main concern on the subject is that if you believe in eating meat fine, do it in a way that does not step over that line. I eat meat, I myself am all for a good steak. But killing that animal in a way that would bring suffering or pain to it or buying the meat from any source that would do such a thing is WRONG!   

 Go to www.peta.org check out some of their videos. You may be shocked. If those videos don't affect the way you think about animals and what you are eating than maybe you haven't seen enough. Even when one animal kills an other it is the quickest, and least painless way possible and naturally it's because of hunger. If you think about it even when animals have been known to kill man it is first of all out of instinct because of fear for it's self or it's young and they have learned not to trust man (for good reason). Secondly it's man that has bred them to be fighters, to be viscous and to attack on command. They weren't originally like that. And third it's because man has pushed them to a point where they aren't even given a chance to defend themselves. What defense does a puppy or kitten have? Man has always needlessly destroyed, each other, animals and their environment. We all have to face the facts that it's a matter of the imperfections in all of us that is the cause of this problem, mans ignorance towards it and casual attitude about the whole thing (like all of our world problems) and there will never be a absolute solution at least not in this system. All we can hope for is that each and every person tries to do their part in NOT abusing animals. Get knowledge on what abuse is and take care of your animals and pets to the best extent possible or DON'T OWN THEM !!!

About Moopaw     

  Moopaw the site was built April 9, 2009 for two reason. The first is because of my love of animals and the chance to speak out on animal abuse. Two because of the love I have for him. Yes, I said him, he is my dog. My faithful friend and inspiration. I will be the saddest person in the world the day he dies. And I know it will happen. Yet there's nothing that can prepare any of us for death it just wasn't meant to happen at least in the way that it does for our pets.

 Moopaw is what I call him. His real name is Sid. He was named after the Sloth on the movie Ice Age. It's because his original owners caught him eating a pine cone, just as the character on Ice Age did. I don't know where he originally came from or what his parents looked like. All I know is that three friends walked into our local pet store and came out with three tiny pups. The pet store owner said they were a mix of beagle and cairn terrier although I see no resemblance of cairn terrier in any of the pups.

 I need to tell you first that this is the same pet store owner that told me I was buying a peekapoo.(A mix of pekingese and toy poodle). What a joke that was. (I'm hoping to this day that it was her that got swindled, not that she did the swindling). I named her Tess. As a small pup it was hard to tell, but within one month I could tell something was not right. She was growing a beard. She had no characteristics of either breeds of the dog I was told she was. I soon found out where the dog came from and talked to the previous owners and found out that it was a mix of  Black Labrador Retriever and Chesky Terrier. She turned out with the body build and most characteristics of the Lab but the fur of the Chesky. She was fun, energetic, lovable, protective and very faithful to me. I wish I would of  had more time with her. But I didn't  have the time for her, after all she was suppose to be a small lap dog. It was to much at the time for me to handle. I reluctantly gave her to the Humane Society. My husband insisted, it wasn't my idea. I cried all the way up and all the way back and weeks afterwords. I still occasionally think of her and get a little teary eyed. I loved her dearly.

 Any way the friends that originally got Sid were unable to keep him so he went to their brothers place and he was unable to keep him too, so I took him and this was before I gave Tess up. My intentions were to find him a good home. So I had the two of them. What a big problem that was. They got along great right away. Sid was still very young and Tess mothered him. Boy did I have a lot of trouble with the two of them. When they were separate they were great. Well Sid was anyway. When they were together, Look Out! They were out of control and I didn't have the time to train either of them. Tess was to big and to energetic for us to handle in a small place with a very small yard. Sid was smaller and was not any where near as hyper as Tess so, I kept Sid, he was more laid back. Sid was depressed after we hadn't come back with Tess but he got over it. I think he may of sensed my sadness too. I hope she went to a good home.

 Well it's been about six years now we are in our own home with an acre of land next to the woods and Sid couldn't be happier. He gets to see all the surrounding animals such as rabbit, squirrel, wood chuck, deer, all kinds of birds and of course neighbor cats and dogs which he's friends with, except for one, which is the only dog in our area that that hasn't been spaded, and of course the only female too, the rest are neutered males.

So, I was delighted to find out that I could post my dog on the internet and be able to help others to become aware of animal abuse at the same time.

  This is the two of them tearing  up what was once one of Tess's toys. This is the way they were together all the time. Even at night. We had to put a gate up to keep them seperate. When we went to work or any where else we worried constantly. Once when we had to go somewhere before we had sid, I had put Tess's leash on her and hooked her to my table leg. Stupid me, she could reach my love seat in the living room and she gnawed on two of the wooden legs. It was a brand new set. She even tore the edge of a new carpet to pieces.            More updates on Sid (Moopaw) later.

Sid (Moopaw) is now 7 years old and looks every bit his age plus some. He has a generative disease that has made him age faster than normal. Some days he shows it, some he don't. Here are some recent pictures.

On July 10th our nieghbor brang over a box of very young kittens. She said, they were going to take them all to a farm. I kooked in the box and picked up a skitish, orange one. She said, "That is a male." My husband is partial to orange Tabbies. It became ours. He went out and out everything we needed for it.

We found out he was shy of us,
