How to BE with strangers … (08/16/17)
“The tender loving care of other human beings will never become obsolete. People much more than things have to be restored, renewed, revived, reclaimed and redeemed — and redeemed — and redeemed … No matter what they might have done or what they might well do, never throw out anybody.” ~ Sam Levenson
Our only Hope … (08/15/17)
P.S. And remember, the only way left for us to effectively “cherish what remains of Her” is to Go Vegan … F0r if we don’t soon choose the vegan Way; if we don’t soon choose to live with compassion; if we don’t soon choose to cease abusing & murdering our innocent animal cousins, our Earth […]
Remembering Nooka #09 … euthanizing euthanasia (08/15/2018)
One of my favorite things to do when I was living at the farm (off and on from 2006 through 2011) was work in the woods … Nooka almost always went with me whenever I did so, and would go exploring nearby while I pruned tree branches and cleared felled logs and trimmed back overgrown […]
Remembering Nooka #08 … a HOME away from home (08/15/2018)
Even though Nooka was “my dog” — almost as much as I was “her human” — I did spend the majority of her life away from the farm (mostly working & living in Germany) and thus away from her … Nooka had other friends, of course — my mother, my stepfather, several employees of my […]
Remembering Nooka #07 … PEACE-full on the porch (08/15/2018)
One of my favorite things to do when I was living at the farm (off and on from 2006 through 2011) was work in the woods … Nooka almost always went with me whenever I did so, and would go exploring nearby while I pruned tree branches and cleared felled logs and trimmed back overgrown […]
Remembering Nooka #06 … on Be-Friending cats (08/15/2018)
Even the most ardent of cat-lovers will have to admit that most cats (at least by far most of the cats I have encountered and cared for and befriended) can take a bit of getting used to — and this is especially true for most dogs … Where dogs are most often open, cats are […]
Remembering Nooka #05 … Ever into the woods (08/15/2018)
Nooka LOVED exploring the woods. The funny thing was, she would never ever ever do so alone. But man-oh-man, as soon as you picked up your walking stick and asked her if she wanted to go for a walk, she literally jumped up in the air and tore off down the main path behind the […]
Remembering Nooka #04 … How we are meant to LOVE (08/15 /2018)
Nooka knew best how to Love people — how to really truly LOVE them. She greeted everyone she met as though she had rediscovered a long lost Soulmate, she attended to all in her immediate presence as though they were the only ones there, and then when the time for the parting of ways inevitably […]
Remembering Nooka #03 … Once again, like the wind (08/15/2018)
She came like the wind, we know not from where. And she soothed like the wind as well, with her humor when we needed “cooling down” and her tenderness when our hearts needed “warming up” … When we walked in the woods she would like the wind disappear for a time, and yet somehow she […]
