Help Wild Horses Keep Our Spirits High
We all love the feeling of wild horses kicking up their heels, galloping with manes flying through infinity across America’s great landscapes and the untamed scope of our dreams. Thanks to American Wild Horse Preservation Campaign, […]
Reminiscence of a True Sense of Horse Sense
Reminiscence of a true sense of horse sense eventually does show up at about 3/4 of the way down this page. In the meantime, the story goes like this: We hiked up a gold grass hill in the far eastern edge of Milpitas. It was hot. Real hot. 115 Degrees Farenheit hot. As hot as […]
Rehabs for Meat Addicts
I could have used the support of a rehab while I was in recovery from meat addiction in 1978. It was pretty lonely back then. Now, you can go online and instantly receive support and encouragement if you’re a vegan newbie, or wannabee. Thanks to All Creatures posting yesterday an article about the new book, […]
The Summer My Love for All Life Began
I kept straight ahead trailing in his wake, in footsteps he and multitudes of others, human and nonhuman—the rats, the roaches, the pigeons—left behind on that sidewalk…some dancing, some not, on my way home.

Animal abusers, whether children or adults, are likely to extend their violence to humans. Jeffrey Dahmer, Son of Sam, school shooters, gangs. All animal […]
Ew, a Hare in my Whole Foods Rabbit Stew
Typo: hair, not hare. Nothing worse than finding a hair in your rabbit stew. You immediately imagine the hair’s origin. A greasy head. Or worse, a greasy, scaly head belonging to a body whose owner thinks “hygiene” is a greeting. The worst: What if the hair belongs to the rabbit in the rabbit stew? Even […]
“Rescue Me From My Boring Rescue Dog”
Here’s the gist of what a desperate man said to me in his cry for help: “Brought this rescue dog home from the shelter a couple of months ago. I figured, wow, my new friend to come home to! He’ll be excited at the very sight of me. He’ll play ball with me. Get me […]
Secretly Wanting Her Cat Dead
Wanting her cat dead was so secret, even she didn’t have a clue why she forgot to close the window the day he fell to earth. But her cat lived to tell his tale, and was quick to clue her in, in our chat. You might shudder, thinking what a nasty person she is. She’s […]
