🐶🆘 DON’T KILL BLUE
He’s just a scared puppy, for gods sakes. His family left him in the shelter because they can’t afford him. They said he’s playful but shy; now he’s grieving & trembling
Tho nervous; he trusts familiar staff; see video of Blue learning to be brave!

I once took my now deceased ex-mother-in-law to a Republican rally at an old age home. The candidate called for ending SSI and Medicare which she lived on. When asked she said "they don't mean me".
