"Love knows not its own depth until the hour of separation." - Kabil Gibran

I just wanted to let you know that I made it home. The journey wasn't an easy one, but it didn't take long. Everything is pretty here, so white, so fresh and new. I wish that you could close your eyes and that you could see it too. Please try not to be sad for me. Try to understand. God is taking care of me... I'm in the shelter of His hands. Here there is no sadness, no sorrow, and no pain. Here there is no crying and I'll never hurt again. I really have to go for now... I've just got to try my wings.
_________________________________________________________________
I looked at all the caged animals in the shelter...the cast-offs of human society. I saw in their eyes love and hope, fear and dread, sadness and betrayal. And I was angry. "God," I said, "this is terrible! Why don't you do something?" God was silent for a moment and then He spoke softly. "I have done something," He replied, "I created you."

I like pigs. Dogs look up to us. Cats look down on us. Pigs treat us as equals. ~Winston Churchill

Animals are such agreeable friends - they ask no questions, they pass no criticisms. ~George Eliot

Lots of people talk to animals.... Not very many listen, though.... That's the problem. ~Benjamin Hoff, The Tao of Pooh

The kind man feeds his beast before sitting down to dinner. ~Hebrew Proverb

Get the Facts about Horse Slaughter
How many horses are slaughtered each year?
Prior to the closure of all three foreign-owned plants in the U.S., over 100,000 horses were being slaughtered in the United States and processed for human consumption. Now, tens of thousands of live horses are transported across the border to Mexico and Canada for slaughter. After these horses are killed, their flesh is shipped to Europe and Asia for human consumption. Their owners are often unaware of the pain, fear, and suffering their horses endure before being slaughtered



God Bless you all.

The BABY SEAL SLAUGHTER started on March 28, 2008. There is a link in my blog on the seals to read the latest update on the seal's fate. From there you may view the awful truth in a video.
This years seal season was one of the worst for clubbers!! There may not even be a season next year. But our work isn't over!! An update from Defender's of Wildlife states 56 wolves have already been slaughtered!! gt;

I'm so in love with the wolves I HAD to give. Please, I know times are hard, but any amount will help save these beautiful creatures.

We see mountains grow from hills,
and trees grow tall.
We feel years go on,
only to grow old and fall.
Our howls echo,
through the tall trees.
They bounce off the mountains,
and are carried on the breeze.
The Native Americans respect us,
regard us as sacred and wise.
They see a piece of themselves,
when they gaze into our eyes.
This all may no longer be,
for our fight has begun.
We wish not to live,
in fear of hunters guns.

The Florida Panther is still losing much needed habitat. It is estimated that only 80 panthers still exist in the Florida Everglades. Steps are being taken to preserve and protect this wonderful creature whose home range was once as far north as Tennessee and as far west as Texas. That is a dramatic loss of habitat. To learn more, or to join in the effort to save the panther please visit www.floridapanther.org

Proverbs 12:10 states that: "A righteous man has regard for the life of his beast," and Psalm 145:9 teaches that "The Lord is good to all, and his compassion rests upon all his creatures." The bible forbids cruelty to animals in Deuteronomy (22:10, 25:4) and says they are to share in the Sabbath rest (Exodus 20:10, Deut 5:14). The Psalms even have the animals praising God -148:7-10: 150:6.

It's All in the Genes
Did you adopt a dog from the shelter or humane society? Ever wonder what breeds came together to make up your mutt? Well, now you can find out. A new genetics test can be run on a cheek swab from your pooch and let you know with some degree of certainty who your dog's ancestors are. Why would you be interested? Well, some people might be just interested for curiosity's sake. Still others may want to know why their mutt keeps trying to herd the kids together in the backyard and on a more scientific note, pet owners and veterinarians may want to know what breeds are involved to help identify possible health problems and intervene before they become untreatable. Certain breeds are prone to certain types of cancer, and this might be one area where this information might be most useful. Targeted care by your veterinarian could help identify these most likely types of health problems and intervene early on in the course of the disease. As science advances in the arena of genetics for all species, we will likely be hearing about more and more available tests and even treatments.

Your aging dog
There are few bonds of love and devotion quite as absolute as those between a dog and his family. Ten or thirteen years seem to pass so quickly, and it’s hard to believe that your walking companion is now considered a canine senior citizen. Just as people age differently, so do dogs. A lot depends on breed and genetics as well as the dog’s lifestyle and diet over the years. Just because your dog is now up in years doesn’t mean he is ready to retire as your best buddy. In fact, if you’re thinking of adopting an animal, an older dog should not be overlooked. Sure, puppies are cute, but a mature dog has learned so much more. Typically, they are housebroken, don’t chew everything in sight, they know what “no” means and have grown accustomed to living in a “pack” with human beings. Adopting an older animal from a shelter also shows that you don’t believe a dog is expendable just because of his age. At this time in a dog’s life, it’s extremely important to schedule a yearly wellness exam (or more frequently, if your vet suggests it). That’s likely to include a senior blood panel, which can tell you a lot about how your best friend is aging. It’s possible that behavior simply attributed to “old age”, such as ‘slowing down’ or stiffness, can be the result of a treatable medical condition -- a thyroid issue, for example. Just like a person, as a dog ages, he may be subject to certain diseases not as common in a younger animal, such a diabetes, arthritis, liver and kidney disease. And as we all know, an obese animal is not going to be as healthy, or age as well, as one in a normal weight range. Certain changes in a dog’s personality can also occur as a result of aging, such as not responding to verbal commands due to a hearing loss, or a newly developed separation anxiety. Many of these problems can be dealt with by simply being attuned to your dog’s changing needs. Diet is an especially important consideration at this stage. A pet food with high quality protein and ingredients is vital to maintaining an older dog’s quality of life. Aging is not a disease. If your best friend is now an old friend, you’ve taken good care of him or he wouldn’t have made it this far. With some luck, good food, and proper veterinary care, you can keep him by your side for yet more years to come.





Humankind has not woven the web of life.
We are but one thread within it.
Whatever we do to the web, we do to ourselves.
All things are bound together.
All things connect.

Chief Seattle, 1854

May the stars carry your sadness away,
May the flowers fill your heart with beauty,
May hope forever wipe away your tears,
And, above all, may silence make you strong.

Chief Dan George

Hold On

Hold on to what is good,
Even if it's a handful of earth.
Hold on to what you believe,
Even if it's a tree that stands by itself.
Hold on to what you must do,
Even if it's a long way from here.
Hold on to your life,
Even if it's easier to let go.
Hold on to my hand,
Even if someday I'll be gone away from you.

A Pueblo Indian Prayer

This Old Dog
I'm getting on in years,
My coat is turning gray.
My eyes have lost their luster,
My hearing's just okay.
I spend my days dreaming
Of earlier times with you
When I could run and jump and play
And fetch the ball you threw.
I remember our first visit,
I was coming to you free
Hoping you would take me in
And keep me company.
I wasn't young or handsome,
Two years I'd roamed the street.
There were scars upon my face,
I hobbled on my feet.
I could sense your disappointment
As I left my prison cage.
Oh, I hoped you would accept me
And look beyond my age.
You took me out of pity,
I accepted without shame.
Then you grew to love me,
And I admit the same.
I have shared with you your laughter,
You have wet my fur with tears.
We've come to know each other
Throughout these many years.
Just one more hug this morning
And as you drive away
Know I will think about you
Throughout your busy day.
I'll faithfully wait here for you
And though my head's a fog
My heart is yours forever.
I promise-

This old dog.
