WHAT’S THE POINT? I am genuinely grateful for my followers and people who share their happy tales with me. However, lately, I feel that my efforts at making this world a better place for rescue animals are a mere drop in the ocean. In some cases, I wonder if I’m wasting my time. A friend messaged me… Keep Reading
FIRE SAFETY – TAKE TWO!
CONTINUED FROM LAST WEEK… (spoiler alert: post contains quotes from, and references to, the award-winning television show ‘This is Us’) In a previous post, I wrote about a neighbour’s house burning to the ground in the early hours of the morning. Our dogs sleep with us, and we were alerted by Reese before the fire… Keep Reading
MOVING HOUSE WITH ANIMAL COMPANIONS
MAKING THE TRANSITION AS EASY AND STRESS-FREE AS POSSIBLE My husband found us our dream home, a farmhouse in the country with just enough land to be manageable and provide endless new scents for the dogs to sniff. We knew they would love it too – when they got over the stress and confusion of… Keep Reading
NOT MY FINEST MOMENT
I’m not proud to say, I lost my sh*t. Well, technically, it was Reese’s sh*t, and it was tossed not lost. The incident, though short-lived, and (thankfully) without consequence, still weighs heavily on my mind. Henry, Reese and I were on our way back from a lovely walk. The sun, combined with a gentle breeze… Keep Reading
PUPPY MILL AWARENESS – PART I
WHERE DO PUPPIES COME FROM? WHY IS IT IMPORTANT TO DO YOUR RESEARCH PRIOR TO PURCHASING OR ADOPTING A DOG? Of course I knew puppies came from mommy dogs. I was quite ignorant to breeders, breeding facilities, and the OVERWHELMING number of pets that were waiting in shelters and with rescue organizations, for loving, forever… Keep Reading
THE TRUTH ABOUT OVERPOPULATION
CARING FOR COLONIES Cat on a Hot Tin Roof was originally a play, described in the trailer for the 1958 movie adaptation as “a passionate story of the conflict between people, an intimate, revealing story of the conflict within people.” The story features several recurring motifs, such as social mores, greed, superficiality, mendacity,… Keep Reading
HELL ON EARTH (D)
Can you watch this video or will you stop part way through? When did you lose your compassion? How have we, as a society become so desinsitized? I created this video as a reminder of the daily suffering that people choose to ignore. Together, I truly believe we CAN make a difference.

SHELTER (D)
Shortly after posting a reply (rant) to a story on Facebook (see bottom of post), I was curious and looked up the definition of ‘shelter’. I also copied the ad cleverly posted, just above the definition. In relation to the article, I found the advertisement incredibly ironic. Help WSPA Save Pets Help Us End Animal Cruelty Forever. Donate Today. Make a Difference…. Keep Reading
ON THE MENU (D)
I jokingly say to my dogs ‘I could gobble you up’, all the time. I don’t mean that literally, obviously. Although, apparently not so obvious to some. Perhaps it’s because I’m vegan that I cannot grasp the concept of cooking and eating a domestic animal. That in itself distubs me, let alone the methods used! Saved from… Keep Reading
