Dizzy the Hamster Gets Jazzy New Life

My dog Ralph is from the Cayman Islands. He was found lying in at gutter at six weeks old. Poor guy needed a blood transfusion. I adopted him through the Cayman Islands Humane Society, who do an amazing job by the way. Ralphy soon got better and became very energetic! He now lives in the UK with me and my family and is treated like a king :-)

My third kitten Nika, was found by accident, but I feel that she was more likely placed in my life. I was visiting friends on a summer evening. We heard a little commotion caused by some neighborhood children in NE Chicago. I was curious so I went to see what was going on. The children, communicated to me in Spanish, which I am not fluent in but speak a little of, that they found a kitten. I LOVE animals, so I wanted to see it right away. This kitten had to be only about 3-4 weeks, looked as though it were the runt of a litter and probably hadn't eaten for a couple days. It was dirty and shaking. I asked the kids if I could hold it, as i wanted to check it out. She fit in the palm of my hand. I was saddened and shocked at how small she was. They told me that they had found her in the garbage. With more details, it was clear it wasn't an accident that she ended up there. She wasn't just in the dumpster, but rather in a foot-pedal bathroom garbage can that was placed beside the dumpster. I talked to the childrens' parents to find out what they were going to do with the kitten. In not so many words, they said they would put it back where they found it. I told them I would take it and care for it. In my head, I said I will see her through the night, hopefully she will make it, and that i'd take her to the anti-cruelty society in the morning. I bathed her, bottle fed her, and set up a place for her to sleep, separate from my two other cats, who weren't too happy about this new addition. I didn't sleep a wink. Deep down, I didn't think she'd last the night. I can't even put into words the condition she appeared to be in. Remarkably she survived and my love for her had exponentially grown in just one night. I knew she would be part of my family. My two other cats took about 3 weeks to warm up to her, which meant protecting her from them the best I could. Having her to look after helped me through a rough time, as I was dealing with some heavy issues. I finally understood those bumper stickers you see that read, Who saves who? Nika, meaning Gift of God, was meant to be in my life, and she who needed to be saved, now has all the love she could ever receive.

we rescued a guinea pig at a cemetery on a hot Mother's Day! We had driven in to find my gram's grave when we saw this poor creature running loose....we took him right away to Petco & he got a home. We never did get to Gram's grave that day

Why don't you shut up and leave PETA alone. It's not their job to worry about humans. Aren't there like a million other organizations that are about them, and you can't let the animals have one without whining about it. And this has nothing to do with Dizzy the hamster.

Doubt this will do any good because for all the good PETA does for animals they certainly do not do good for any humans. Perhaps PETA should become a STAR and start showing tolerance and respect for others.
