She has very few pieces of clothing (and most are secondhand) and many of her books and toys are secondhand (and we had to weed through them for animal use). The younger one gets the loot as soon as that's appropriate, and/or I donate them to the local Foster and Adoptive Parents Association. And there's one younger.

I've officially been blogging for four years (1,329 posts and 5,441 comments) today, and as I (re)ponder whether I will continue, I'd like to present some lessons I've learned about blogging, veganism, people, "the movement," language and. Too much of me in the comments wasn't a great idea for Animal Person, in my opinion.

On Friday, June 25, I received a call from an attorney who said a little girl was born the evening prior, her adoption fell through and she needed a family. Because we planned to adopt I had been researching eco-friendly, vegan nursery items but had yet to purchase a thing. And on Sunday, June 27, we brought her home!

I don't need to "remind myself" of how bad it is to bolster my commitment to veganism. So I do what I can do, beginning of course with being vegan. And part of meeting my own needs, by the way, is the need to care for animals who have been discarded. I rescue, I adopt, I do TNR, and I connect others to resources to do the same.

Big fail here for Animal Person. I didn't do the right thing for Animal Person. Lesson #20 We still don't know what will make a critical mass of people go vegan. But other than multi-pronged, multi-media, persistence, I have no idea what will be necessary to make most people go vegan. But I didn't.
