I woke up in the middle of the night last night. Once awake, it can take me forever to get back to sleep. I was dreading the next few hours.
That was until, laying next to me in the dark, I heard Finn purring and Wink snoring.

The first day I met Graidy at Glen Highland Farm Rescue.
Whenever I think of Graidy, this is the pose I think of him in the most. Facing out, looking off into the distance. In fact, this is the first vision I had of him before I even met him.

I know. It’s nuts. But I’m pathological. I can’t not do it, because Finn isn’t ready to go yet. These animals have … Read More
In this season of giving and thinking of others, I came across this quote (can’t find the original author).
