Ticked off! @medication cost

I, too, would be ticked off if I could not find a rescue group that will adopt at a reasonable fee. I am ticked off that the title of pit bull would be put on animals with some negative connotation to discourage someone from adopting one at our animal shelter. There is much that has been misrepresented about that. If your animal services have a dog up for adoption, it means personality wise and temperament, there is nothing wrong with that dog. Perhaps look at an older or disabled puppy that desperately needs at home. Don’t give up there is a fur baby waiting for your loving home.

To the woman who said adoption fees were too high, yes that is true at rescue organizations, but hang in there and keep checking the Humane Society website. We were also concerned about pit bulls but we finally found the sweetest dog who is multi-cultural to say the least! He was older and missing some teeth so the shelter even waived the adoption fee. Keep looking.

I may have the answer for people looking to buy an affordable pet. We got our “re-homed” doggy (mix of yorkie and beagle) using adopt-a-pet.com. We paid only $125 and the previous owner “kicked-in” all the accessories/toys that she had! Please try it. It worked for us.

I don’t want to sound like the Grinch but I am so tired of seeing ads that advertise their expensive medications to people of low income for free or little cost, but if you have a little bit of income and have worked all your life and have accumulated some meager savings, you are expected to pay upwards of $500 a month for the meds they offer for free to those that can’t afford them. How about the people that can’t afford these new expensive drugs use meds they can afford, like the generics, and these big pharma companies give the rest of us a price break?

The flip side It was great

to see Gail Paschal Brown at the anchor desk this weekend. Her positive personality and beautiful smile transcend the “20-something Barbie’s” that fill the anchor desks on all local newscasts.
