My Views

I already know the long term commitment of pet ownership.  Those pet owners who demonstrate this commitment to long term pet care are on the same page with me. 

I have your next best friend!

Cindys favorite charity is "The Morris Animal Foundation."  AKC Highstandards May Snowflurry aka Sugar died June 2008.  She was my show cream toy poodle girl who unexpectantly died of IMHA at age seven.  A disease with no cure.   Sugar was treated by two qualified vets however; to no avail.  The Morris Animal Foundation does IMHA research ! However; sadly at present no cure for her disease.   Sugar went without my consent onto become a poodle angel leaving her owner heart broken.  I realize the importance of charities and claim only the Morris Animal Foundation as my favorite charity.       

Morris Animal Foundation - A history of improving animal health 

Morris Animal Foundation was established in 1948 by Dr. Mark L. Morris Sr., a visionary veterinarian who believed there was a need for a foundation that solely addressed animal health and welfare. Dr. Morris was a veterinarian, humanitarian and animal health pioneer who was one of the first veterinarians to use diet to control disease.

One of Dr. Morris’s first patients was Buddy, who was among the first guide dogs in the United States. Buddy suffered from kidney failure, and his owner, Morris Frank, then the national ambassador for the Seeing Eye, sought Dr. Morris’s advice. Dr. Morris created a special diet that dramatically improved Buddy’s health, and soon he and his wife, Louise, were canning the food in their kitchen. When they couldn’t keep up with demand, they partnered with the Hill Packing Company to produce what later became the first Hill’s Pet Nutrition Prescription Diet. Dr. Morris used the royalties from that diet to establish Morris Animal Foundation, and the first two studies funded looked at nutrition in cats and dogs.

With more than 60 years of history, our reputation and scientific expertise are second to none. Since our inception, the Foundation has funded more than 1,600 humane animal health studies. Today, Morris Animal Foundation funding supports more than 200 animal health and welfare research studies each year at the world’s most respected research institutions, colleges of veterinary medicine and zoos.
