Those Who Inspire

“Hound dogs are among the best dogs out there,

And it’s hard to understand how someone can betray them.

Some hunters take them into the woods, and tell them to ‘stay,’

And because these dogs are so loyal, and so eager to please, they do;

And, they die in these woods, because no one even cares about them.”

 

Tracie Mitchum

 

Forget these totally out of touch millionaire politicians

Who pompously proclaim that they’ll help our country

The people in America, who inspire me, these sad days

Are the ones toiling in the trenches - the soul of humanity

 

Some of them work tirelessly, to assist families in need

Others do everything they can, helping our homeless vets

Others donate their time and money, aiding disaster victims

And, there are also those like Tracie, rescuing abandoned pets

 

Tracie spends her time and money, rescuing dumped hunting dogs

Like every other type of abandoned pet, their numbers are on the rise

She so compassionately rounds them up, and gets them veterinary help

Then she finds them new homes; she has opened numerous unaware eyes

 

On any given Saturday, you will find Tracie, sitting in a grocery store parking lot

With an array of abandoned cats and canines, which she has brought back to health

She’s out there, hoping to find people who will adopt them, and give them some love

She also solicits donations from ordinary citizens, who give from the heart, not wealth

 

Her story has now been featured on the Care 2 Animal Welfare Website

And today, The Harmony Fund, is attempting to help her, with donations

If you would like to help, click on the linked Care 2 featured page below

Or help out in some other volunteer effort; so many are in need in our nation

 

And, while you’re on the Care 2 website reading about Tracie’s tireless rescue efforts

Check out my recent Muttley Crew Story: Surprise in the Snow - Double Dog Rescue

And watch the hilarious Bud Light Superbowl Commercial featuring delightful ‘Weego'

He is also a recently rescued canine, and a terrific little actor, and so very adorably cute

 

Forget these totally out of touch millionaire politicians,

Who pompously proclaim that they’ll help our country;

The people in America, who inspire me, these sad days,

Are the ones toiling in the trenches - the soul of humanity.

... this is where the rubber hits the road, Dad. Tracie's upfront approach is a refreshing challenge and one which would be hard to resist once confronted... Let's hope a few of those pompous, millionaire politicians turn up for a bit of Saturday grocery shopping at her parking lot this weekend... xx
