  Hello Shyrell,

  I have no arguement with your take on "What 
  Value, Life," and I'm so glad you told me your take on what I 
  said.   You brought up a point that made me think and rethink and 
  that's definitely good.  I have more time to think about what I'm going 
  to say about/with the exhibit and all in put is much appreicated.

  I'm not worried about the wonderful people like 
  yourself, who all ready value the animals nobody else wants.    
  I want to reach people on the other side of the coin and pull them over to 
  your side - the "all life has value" side.  And, yes.   I 
  profess I am a tree hugger, also - but I try to keep that to myself 
  {:->

  Okay. Since someone else mentioned God already...
  All creation has value in God's eyes. It's humans who put little to no 
  value on homeless domestic animals. That is contrary indeed, because they 
  place great value on homeless 'wild' animals. Go figure. So I guess in the 
  eyes and minds of humans, you have the thought right on. No value in a 
  homeless domestic animal. As only one person, though, I place value on all 
  creation. But like I said, from others point of view, a homeless domestic 
  animal is considered valueless. So go with your original idea because you 
  really have humans figured out! Great Big Smile...

  Shyrell
  PS It's a wonderfully worthy cause and a good work you are 
  doing. Keep at it!

      Hello shy mel,

      Thank you for your thoughts and your response 
      to What Value, Life.   I appreciate your feedback.

      Part of the reason for the exhibit is to show 
      people that the "unwanted" pets have the same value as any other life 
      form, but people determine this value.

      In the exhibit, I hope to show that each pet 
      is as loveable as the next, but the ones who have homes and families are 
      usually considered to be of a greater value than the homeless 
      pets.   Hmmm.   Now I'm confused {:->

      Marilyn Dalrymple--What Value, Life?
      O, my, goodness! What a precious shot. It warms my heart. I love 
      cats. This one not only makes me smile, it makes me laugh. I like the way 
      you are using the sepia tone for the homeless ones, but please don't label 
      them valueless. Could you say instead that they are lonely, full of love 
      but without a human to share it with? My own personal opinion is that all 
      animals are extremely valuable with or without human caretakers. They are 
      just lonely without someone to give their love to. On the whole, your idea 
      is right on. If I didn't already have 3 cats, I'd take one of these. I 
      also have a dog and all my 'friends' share all their love with 
    me.
