ADOPTION IMPOSTERS ~ There are people out there that act as though you are adopting but in reality, you are buying. Some social media sites do not allow animal sales, but allow adoptions. Rescues do charge a fee, in an effort to cover their costs of spay/neutering, heartworm treatment, other vet care including all vaccines and sometimes surgeries for injuries, etc.

On June 24, 2022, the Supreme Court of the United States overturned Roe v. Wade which had made into law on January 22, 1973. Roe v. Wade ruled that the Constitution of the United States protected a pregnant woman's rights to choose to have an abortion.
Since the day it was overturned, we are constantly hearing on talk shows and on the news about the Separation of Church and State mentioned in the United States Constitution.

Are you a witness?
Happy Fourth of July to all my family and friends. I am extremely grateful that I live in America!
I'm thankful for every act of service rendered to guarantee the freedom that you and I can enjoy.

Well, I heard that just fine, thank you.
