I could write a long post about giving and sharing with those we love and the world at large. But you don't need me to tell you what to do!
So, I will only bring up what (beside the obvious) is on my mind today and everyday: the too-often forgotten, abandoned and/or abused countless, helpless little creatures. Love them and they will love you back forever....no question asked!
BE THEIR VALENTINE, WON'T YOU?
THE BEST VALENTINE DAY
EVER.












































































I am so with you Fifi!
We're in the process now of looking for a sweet dog to adopt. I couldn't believe the amount of dog's, especially puppies, that are available for adoption. Here in California, they have made it a lot harder to adopt an animal which I think is good. That way the adoption agencies can be a little more careful who they adopt to, and that the animals won't be abused or left.
Hope you have a beautiful Valentine's Day.
Sincerely,
Melinda

Hi Fifi
Yes, and we have adopted 7 bunnies of our own and love them all dearly! Nothing is better than giving a dear animal a forever home and love.

J'ai fait ma belle action et une action d'amour en plus ... j'ai adopté un chat qui venait depuis plusieurs jours chez moi et était si maigre et si triste ... il est là maintenant et il ronronne et je suis heureuse !
Pour la Saint Valentin, l'amour des animaux est important aussi ....
Belle journée, Fifi

I'm an animal lover and completely agree with you. So many fur babies are in need of homes.
It's really sad,but I never give up hope that they will be adopted.
Thanks for sharing this cute post.
Have a great day,
Janet

Thank you for the sweet reminder, Fifi. There are so many dogs and kitties who need loving homes waiting at shelters for their forever families. Please remind your readers to never, ever buy a dog from a pet shop as they all come from puppy mils, but to, instead find the love of their lives at the shelter.

Since my little pug died last April my friends call for me often, where they see a dog that needs a rescue. I know this is what I will do eventually. I just feel guilty leaving my little sweetie when I travel. what do you do with all your pets when your gone on a trip?

I have two beautiful puppies of my own and they just want love and affection.

THANK YOU for writing this beautiful post Fifi!
It's exactly what happened this Valentine's Day. We headed down to the SPCA and fell in love with a black lab we named Archer (keeping with the Valentine theme) :-) I've had a hard time taking photos of him as he is by my side constantly & filling our home with Lab Love ♥

Lovely post Fifi. I am an animal lover ~ We have a 100 pound Yellow Lab ~ I advocate pet adoptions 100%! The world would be a better place should we all take time to love the animals who need a home. They give us such beauty in return! Hope you are doing well! xo

Ahhh...I really wish I could. But we have a small home and do not like dog hair on the floor and furniture and I'm allergic to cats. So we won't be getting a pet anytime soon. But, I really do love dogs and I do care about those poor little darlings who need homes.
Hugs, Cindy
