Hello, our friends, and brothers and sisters,

As of today, I have committed myself to living a vegan lifestyle.

This has come through a very long process and with a great deal of consideration.

I have no intention to be out screaming in the streets, or wagging my finger at anyone.

Although, I do understand, admire, appreciate and encourage that passion, I have a deeper understanding that substantial change comes in the same way as evolution: it’s very slow, and gradual.

But we have a beautiful opportunity with our consciousness to influence that evolution.

That is my intention now.

If anybody wants to discuss this with me, I am wide open.

I am not here to argue. Only to share, and to receive, and to share, and to receive… 💫

I will say one thing. The tipping point for me was seeing a pig on a cold, metal, rolling conveyer belt on its way to slaughter.

I saw its eye. It was wide, and full of confusion and intense fear. I have seen that eye before. In dogs and in people. And they weren’t facing what that pig was facing.

That, plainly, cannot be good energy that we produce, or allow to be produced.

Dogspeed!

George and Teddy have been our guests for a few years now.

This was George’s first stay with us without his beautiful brother, Teddy, present.

George had always been on the anxious side, but with his brother passing, he hasn’t been able to settle at night here like he could with Teddy’s company.

We have cats on the top floor, and recently had to get rid of our couch on the main floor (replaced with armchairs), so I have been sleeping on a large dog bed in the basement to help keep our friend George comfortable.

If anyone has a simple, decent extra couch, please let us know 🙏

Big fun with small friends 💚

Working with lovely little Ré. She is VERY afraid of new people. But we made rapid progress.

Things to note when trying to work through this type of behavior:

Give them PLENTY of space. This means not approaching them and not making sustained eye-contact. They will find either extremely imposing and uncomfortable.

Get low! You can’t see it, but I was actually lying on my back for most of this encounter. The less you can tower over them, then better.

Give them time. Our contact went way faster than I expected. But even if it took days or weeks for us to reach each other, I am on her pace. That’s how I establish trust and then I can ultimately guide her into a better headspace and a less frightening world. Because she will trust me.
