Passion Peace
It took me some time to ponder on if I would post for this challenge. My peace is not artsy and does not involve meditation. Although there are a few ways for a person to thread their own needle. I felt that some people would see my way more as work than peaceful, but I am going to share any way. Growing up there were always animals freely walking around in my area. I did not know as a kid that they were homeless, just free. I would always feed them anything we had in the house, food, or milk. We had a total of about seven cats that lived in our back yard, and I gave them each a name. Everyday I would feed and take care of them it was a routine for me after school, then after work.

2020, A year I will never forget. I was going to turn 15 years old. Latinos and Spanish families Celebrate Quinceanera Traditions for their daughters entering their womanhood. You are considered a woman at 15 years old in Spanish families. It's a very festive event in a 15 -year- old girl's life. Family saved up for this. I was looking forward to the Quinceanera Waltz (El Bals). I got my beautiful white dress last year. Its cost my parents $200.00 in a sale. My guest list was already made. The theme was going to be Cinderella. I had the venue to be in the New York Grand Hotel. We were going to have pictures taken at Central Park. I had my dance partner pick out among male friends, for the El Bals. All Sixteen of us was supposed to start practiced that week before my birthday for the waltz.

The still air and warm sun beguiled me into thinking I knew what the day would bring. Of course, I was wrong. I thought I would be meeting my new dogs, but instead, I met my latest mentors.

Watching Sarah McLachlan singing ¨Silent Night¨ with abused, malnourished dogs and cats cowering in the corner of a dirty cage is a commercial that most people recognize. The ASPCA put out these commercials to promote adoption from an animal shelter. Animal shelters are places for animals to go when they don't have a home. They might have been strays, their owners could not keep them, or any number of other reasons. Shelters, breeders, and pet stores are all places where animals are adopted or sold to people. Animal shelters have some glaring disadvantages compared to the other two options. Most people avoid shelters because they think that any animal they get from there would be ‘faulty’ or aggressive. This is a self-fulfilling prophecy. By leaving animals in the shelter and letting them become overcrowded and underfunded, disease and stress spread. Good, adoptable animals have to be put down due to stress-induced aggression, illness, and a lack of space.

I remember reading about all the horrible things that dog breeders and puppy mills do. Immediately, the banned of #adoptdontshop became ingrained in my mind. So, when I decided to adopt an ESA, I figured it would be the easiest thing in the world. After all, I'd be doing a good thing, right?

It was a rainy day, and a little girl by the name of Kaila stared out the window of her family's luxurious cottage, watching the rain pour down. The water was so thick, the sun was blocked out, and it seemed to make the world sadder. Kaila sighed and traced the path a raindrop had taken down the window with her finger.

ThunderCat was so cute in the local shelter’s Facebook post. I’m always a sucker for old dogs, and my local shelter was looking for a fospice for an older shih tzu mix. She was in good health, but couldn’t be adopted out because she wasn’t spayed, and she couldn’t be spayed because she had a terrible heart murmur. She needed a home full of love and care until the end of her days, and I was happy to do it.

Being creative helps bring families together. And in this case, helps families stay together. I’ve always enjoyed creating gifts for my family and friends. My craft closet is full of brightly colored fabrics, soft yarns and a wide variety of colored markers, among other tools of the trade. I handmake Christmas cards every year, using brightly colored cardstock, fun rubber stamps and unique materials. When a new baby joins the family, I make something heartfelt to mark the special occasion. I recently had the opportunity to mark eleven special occasions at once.

The need for a furry or feathery companion cannot be overemphasized. This is true especially in a world like ours where human companionship can get very fickle. These furry beings have largely become non-human parts of the family and we cannot deny that they have come here to stay.

An avulsion fracture is what the orthopedic surgeon in the city called it. That’s when bone fragments detach as a result of tendons or ligaments pulling away from the bone. Fortunately, it wasn’t as bad as the nurse practitioner at the hometown urgent care had told us the day before. We expected a full leg cast or even surgery, but my wife is a tough gal. The doctor’s prescribed treatment for her knee injury was only two weeks of no weight followed by light duty for a few more weeks after that.
