The Seven-Year-Old Child with the Thousand-Year-Old Soul
Rescuing abused horses is a mighty task. Each circumstance brings its’ own set of challenges. In sixteen years of helping the neglected, this particular event still sits at the forefront of my heart and mind, guiding me through many difficult days. I met her on Monday. I stood quietly and stared in complete disbelief. The pain and suffering inflicted upon this lovely mare are nearly indescribable. My heart sank. My girlfriend cried all night, and I simply could not ignore this mare. Daisy needed help, and I was determined to be the one. I joined forces with my friends Kendra and Frances. We scrambled to put together a decent bribe. The owner casually mentioned that he was keeping her alive just for the baby. Our determination steadied. We made a reasonable offer and paid half up front. It’s difficult doing business with the devil.

Bringing Dewey Home. Top Story - August 2022.
My husband was getting ready to leave for an internship in just under a month, so the two of us were talking more and more seriously about getting a dog. We had both been talking about it for months, discussing the pros and cons, what types of breeds we wanted, the size of the dog, and how we would train it. I've had dogs my whole life, but this would be my husband's first pet aside from a betta fish when he was a young child. As often happens with decisions like this, our idea of an ideal dog was nothing like what we ended up with. We thought that a smaller dog, like a schnauzer, pug, or a poodle mix of some kind would be ideal in our apartment. I have pretty bad joint problem and osteoarthritis, so we thought having a dog would help me to exercise more regularly, which would improve my mobility and flexibility. Because of how easily I can get hurt, we figured a small dog might be safer for me to walk.
