It’s natural to mentally recap a year as you approach the next one, but tonight it’s also a recap of a decade.  I found myself remembering all of my beloved beasts who arrived and departed from my life. 8 dogs and one parrot, plus all the dogs and cats I’ve helped care for over the decade.

But the one element of my life that has been the most impactful on my character, my relationship with others, and my understanding of our place in the universe, has been the blessing of stewardship and guardianship of my babies. I know this to be true because I find myself projecting into this next decade and looking forward to more adopted love, deeper rescued hope, and a firmer resolve to become even more involved in animal advocacy. Happy New Year’s Eve, and a fabulous 2020 for one and all!
