Welcome Buddy

So I tried to be rational.
I tried to say no.
I was being the logical one for a change.
My son Kai was visiting the SPCA - week after week - to see Buddy...

Eventually he wore me down - with a poem he wrote during one of his visits:

Sun dried every day in the life
You  have an intermediate setting
Written out by the man wearing the tie

You stand to attention
When wallets walk by-
But again people sigh
You aren't what they seem to like

Your eyes are disguised
They bleed my soul dry
My heart feels filthy
Everytime I leave your side

Your three by three life
Is pennies compared to mine
I know that everyday I could
Birth you a new smile

I've been told I can't help you
But I can't stand by
When others deny you their side

They won't understand
How I see you
Through my eyes
But when they meet you
They'll cry
Because they too denied

So the master manipulator child of mine gifted our family with another member. 
I wonder what lessons this angel will bring.  Enthusiasm is the order of the day right now.  There are three puppies in the house.
Watch this space!!
Welcome Buddy!!

What is success?

Success is not giving a hoot.  If you can be a 45 year old cat woman playing in front of 3000 people, totally uninhibited, then you are succeeding.  Because if you are able to do that, you are in the present moment, not caring about what anybody else thinks.  Not worried about their judgements or how you think you should be coming across.  (ok, so I was a little worried, so not 100% successful, but I continue to strive to be free of this nonsence) When you have that presence of mind in front of animals, that is when you are succeeding.

A Lesson in Surrender

  I always found the concept of surrender a cop out.  Something one would do if one was too weak to take on a situation.   So, when I found myself in a situation where I am unable to follow my passion in the most effective manner, I experienced great discomfort.  Speaking up was immediately taken as judgement.  Even though it was never intended as that.  The presumed judgement resulted in defence.  And the drama began, and unfolded.   Chasms and vindication ruled.  Frustration and finger pointing. What has this to do with animals?   For those of us that work with animals, they are like kids.  They sense how we feel.  Our moods affect them.  So, when this type of angst environment is created, the disturbance affects the creatures that we love. The lesson – stop the angst.  It is not worth upsetting the animals.  Nothing is.  So, surrender.  Not sure where this will go.  But I am here righ...

cove slaughter

I am saddened and battling to understand people again.  The cove dolphins are cordoned off, awaiting slaughter.  Some being taken to dolphin facilities world wide.  How do people stand there and do this?  How do they sleep at night with those decisions in their head?  Then again how do we all?  Driving to a bird sanctuary yesterday I saw a cattle truck on its way to the abattoir.  What is the difference?  Then I saw a bearded vulture at the sanctuary.  Only 320 of the left in the world and they are planning wind generators in their area – a certain death certificate.  Here is a prayer – look into the eyes of an animal.  Or a human.  See them for the miracle that they are.  Then make choices that are respectful and loving.  As yourself – What would love do?  I am so grateful that I am surrounded by animals.  And so grateful that there is no effort required for me to care for them.
