Best Friends co-founder and artist Cyrus Mejia learned that 5 million animals are put to death each year in US animal shelters. He calculated that this equaled about 575 animals per HOUR (thanks to Andrew at Good Honest Dollar for the catch!) Each piece is a memorial to that nameless animal. Heartbreaking.

Up on Higgins near the book store it’s just the occasional bit of fairy floss angling down across my vision. They shelter and shade, feed and bind. As I bird, walk the dog or run errands, puffs of white float down on the breeze. The cottonwoods, a division in the larger clan of poplars, are named for these unmissable seeds.

She has a new book out (which I am reading right now) called One Good Dog. In literature as well as life, the ideal is the safely rescued animal finds the perfect home and becomes the perfect pet. My second favorite rescue story is that of Hunter, a beagle-ish dog that my daughter and son-in-law adopted from a shelter in Massachusetts.

They offered him hand-outs and cared enough about him, not to call Animal Control and risk having him picked up and sent to a shelter where his fate would be doomed.

I finally read SPECIESISM , by Joan Dunayer, which was published a couple of years after ANIMAL EQUALITY , which I wrote about a couple of weeks ago. This book has so many great quotes that I'm going to have to write a couple of posts about them. Any animal threatened with a gun or arrow is endangered.

When you’re in the beginning stages of adopting a pet, the choice can be nerve-wracking, and going to the shelter without a plan is like going to the grocery store on an empty stomach.

Part of me is wondering what great dead animal this flock was settled upon a few minutes ago. Part of me is curious where the birds are off to, whether to roost in the trees by the river or nest in the shelter of the hills. That’s just not right.

These dogs are all good with people and other animals, so you can take them on your social outings and enjoy a romp in the park.

Although I adore my own cats, I had not realized what an important role animals can play as life draws to a close. I’m calling animal control,” I said finally. The animal you’re calling about is a teacup poodle?” Two men from animal control arrived about an hour later. Not a standard?”. “No, No, he’s a teacup.”.
