For Animals and Animal Lovers Everywhere


​I have a confession to make...
I am an animal lover.
A TRUE animal lover.
Have you ever met one of us? Perhaps you are one yourself. In case you're wondering, these are just some of the bordering-on-obsession signs:
1) 98% of your Facebook posts are about animals.
2) You proudly own three or more animal rescue volunteer shirts. 
3) Your dream purchase is that sweet cat tree house.
4) You jump to the rescue when a bee lands on your friend...the bee's rescue.
5) You're invited to posh pool parties only to appoint yourself lifeguard to drowning insects.
6) The vegetables you get at the Farmer's Market are for your pets.
7) All the squirrels who come to your home for nuts have names.
8) You tear up every time you see a dead animal on the road.
9) The fleas you pick off your pet are safely flicked outdoors (ok, some of them).
10) You hope to one day open your very own animal sanctuary.




Even though I've been a lifelong animal lover, it was only earlier this year that the epiphany really hit me (more on this in later posts); helping animals and being around them is my true, spiritual life fulfillment, and I want to share that passion with the world. This blog is dedicated to all animals, animal lovers and to my girls, Friskie and Sweetie, who inspired it all - see kitty header photos :)

I want to share personal stories, health tips, DIYS, photos and more. At first, I created an actual web site so the perfectionist in me could neatly categorize all the topics, but the design aspects of it overwhelmed me, and I put it aside for two months. That's when I knew I needed to go a different route. So the rhyme and reason to my posts here will be purely based on inspiration. That way, I'll be able to focus more on the content, which I really hope you find inspiring, insightful and invaluable. Please feel free to comment and share your own stories.

Enjoy!
