An Interview With Me

I recently was part of an interview with another blogger. I participated in this because it is so important to me to get my message out there. What is my message?…

To respectfully bring attention to the treatment of animals in our society, how this was not in God’s plan for HIS creatures, that animals are living, feeling beings, and that we need to speak up and help them.

You can check out the interview here. You may get to know me a little better. There are also links to some of my previous posts in the interview that you may have not had the chance to read. Continue reading

Sunday Pause (Paws): Random Fun

It’s Sunday and after the rough few weeks I have had, I wanted to focus on some fun! Hope you’ll enjoy!

First…can you find the cat in the picture below? Continue reading

Cino’s Appointment

Today was the appointment day and I would like to start this post with how God answered mine & your prayers.

  • I put some food in the back of Cino’s carrier and she went in to eat which allowed for me to be able to shut it without a fight. (Pray that she doesn’t catch on to this and refuse to go in again)
  • I arrived at the vet clinic at 10:45 a.m. and was home at 12:10 p.m. (Believe me, it is rare to not be there for at least a few hours)
  • Cino is ok (I’ll explain)
  • I am ok (I’ll explain)

This Tuesday’s Tale: Just Breathe

I planned a different tale this week, but I would like to keep my cat, Cino, as the center of my focus right now. This past week has been a very hard one. If you read my last post, Sunday Pause (Paws): Prayers for Cino, you know what is going on. If you haven’t, please do. So this Tuesday’s Tale is about Cino & I, when we met and what is going on now.

It has been a while since I have written a poem. I write them occasionally, mostly for family & friends. I have had so many emotions running through me this past week, a poem just felt appropriate.  So here goes… Continue reading

Sunday Pause (Paws): Prayers for Cino

I have been a bit preoccupied this week, so please forgive me for not being very social in the blogging community lately.

I would like to start this post with some questions & thoughts about the relationship we have with our pets.

Your “baby.” Is the definition of this just two people (or animals) conceiving a child? What about when you adopt a child (or an animal)? Aren’t you now the parents of a baby (or animal), even though you didn’t give birth to them? What about your girlfriend, boyfriend, husband, or wife, do you sometimes refer to them as your “baby?” Continue reading

This Tuesday’s Tale Is Your Story: Pearl

The tale of Pearl told by Lesley

I saw the story of Pearl on another blog and I thought it was so incredible, I just had to share it. It seemed easiest to reblog it.

Thank you so much Lesley for letting me share this story. Pearl is absolutely beautiful and it crushes me to think about what she went through before she made her way to you. Looking at these beautiful photographs of her, I can see she is now in good hands.

This is exactly why we have to start young in teaching children empathy towards animals and why we all need to be the voice for animals.

I hope everyone enjoys visiting Lesley’s blog and reading the story of Pearl. 🙂

I am amazed at all of the stories I have been able to use so far for my “Tuesday Tales.” Most of them are “rescue” stories. This warms my heart so much to know that even though there is way too much abuse out there, there are great people, like you, saving them and taking them away from the abuse.

You can find more tales on the “Tuesday Tales” page of my blog. If you would like to participate by sharing a story about your pet, you will find the details there also.

Sunday Pause (Paws): The Human & Animal Bond

It’s Sunday! Time to kick back & relax!

This Sunday I wanted to take a look at the human and animal bond. God created us both and it is my prayer that we live together with love and respect for one another.

I hope you enjoy looking through the images below showing exactly that!

This Tuesday’s Tale Is Your Story: Cinnamon & Shadow

The tale of Cinnamon and Shadow told by Jeanne

CINNAMON

CINNAMON

Cinnamon was technically my mother’s dog, but I was like the second mother to her. A lady I used to work for had a miniature poodle named Ginger, and when my mother saw her, she wanted one. When Ginger’s breeder had some more puppies, my mother got one. Amazingly, Cinnamon and Ginger had the exact same markings, only Cinnamon was a little bigger. I suppose that’s not all that surprising since their parents were the same, just from different litters (about 2 years apart). Continue reading
