Bird's Symphony
Once upon a time, in a forest far away, the birds were busy hustling about, their sound filling the air with a melody that was both soothing and invigorating. It was a beautiful morning, and the sun had just risen, casting a golden glow over the lush green trees and the sparkling stream that flowed through the forest.

Willows Voice
It was a cool spring afternoon. The sun was still above the horizon, lighting the rock walls that followed the river. As I grew closer to the pasture, I noticed Willows’s stance, her ears were erect turned forward as if she was listening to something and she was staring at the rock wall and a steep incline on the river’s edge. I called to her several times, and she quickly glanced at me, but her focus returned to the same spot. I could feel her speaking to me, so I stopped and listened as the energy flowed through the air between us. I called to her once again, and she turned and took a few steps toward me to get closer and ran back to the same spot and took the same stance that she had moments ago.

Shelter pets need our help.
It is estimated that 1.5 million family pets are euthanized every year across the united states. Pets are typically put to sleep by a sedative and then then Phentyion/pentobarbital. Euthanasia means "good death." A term largely misused in shelter medicine. Many of these animals are not sick or even old, they are simply unwanted. The most common reason why pets are killed at shelters is behavioral problems and lack of space. Many pets can live 10 to 20 years a commitment which many individuals fail to provide. Many of the reasons include moving, lack of time, new family members, and the list goes on. How do we recitfy this? Life has many changes. If one can not commit to these terms then simply do not adopt. Instead volunteer at a local animal shelter where you can provide necessary and meaningful companionship without taking on another dependent if one is unable to do so.

My Ex Brought Home a Dog..
“I’m trying to keep it together, I’m sure he’ll be walking in the door any second... pacing back and forth I wag my tail and sniff around; Running towards the window I thought I heard keys...No, well I’ll just lay here on the sofa with my leash.”
