I am an animal enthusiast. Animals are my number one passion. I love all animals and I am a VEGAN. I have an animal rescue I want to expand to include miniature donkeys. Saving animals is what I was born to do....my life's mission. I also want to start a horse boarding business someday.

My rescue currently has 13 goats and 7 indoor and barn cats (plus numerous feral cats I feed and provide shelter for). An Anatolian Sheepdog who is a livestock guardian. A flock of chickens who are spoiled just like the rest of the animals. My goats, cats and chickens ARE like my own children, and are my first priority. Frankly I prefer animals to most humans. Birds and animals are very intelligent. I taught a few of the goats to use a cats litter box in less then 3 hours when i raised some orphans. Very smart little animals. I have been called a witch by some (the psychic kind!)

Fellow animal lovers, vegans, vegetarians, AR people.

Taking care of the animals in my rescue...

My interests include, but are certainly not limited to: animal rescue, farming, geothermal energy, wind power and saving our planet earth, bicycling, walking, reading, cooking, horseback riding, painting, graphic artist, wildlife, archaeology, botany, computers, carpentry, crafts, ecology, environment, extra-terrestrials, spirits ( I am somewhat clairvoyant )

A little of most any genre, country, classic rock, popular, celtic, classical, and easy listening

Taking care of the animals takes up the majorityof my time....but shows I have watched and wish I had more time to watch are: Stargate SG1, Andromeda, Monk, Trading Spaces, CSI, The Profilers, Heroes, Lost, Psyched, Chuck, Law & Order, Forensic Files, Life on Mars, South Park, Ugly Betty, Eli Stone, Eleventh Hour, Grey's Anatomy, Private Practice, Dateline, 20/20, Numbers, Cold Case, 48 Hours Mystery, The Unit, Boston Legal, House, Fringe, Bones, Without a Trace, The Mentalist, My Own Worst Enemy

The Lord of the Rings Trilogy have got to be the best movies of all time. I like most genres....except scary B movies (which really are NOT scary) and movies that I wouldn't watch if you paid me

I am an avid reader. If it catches my interest after the first page and keeps it, I will probably read it. I like books of most all genres

"As custodians of the planet it is our responsibility to deal with all species with kindness, love, and compassion. That these animals suffer through human cruelty is beyond understanding"

"I hope to make people realize how totally helpless animals are, how dependent on us, trusting as a child must be, that we will be kind and take care of their needs ...[they] are an obligation put upon us, a responsibility we have no right to neglect, nor to violate by cruelty"

"If we see cruelty or wrong that we have the power to stop, and we do nothing, we make ourselves sharers in the guilt"

"We can not have peace among men whose hearts find delight in killing any living creature"

"We did not weave the web of life; we are merely a strand in it. Whatever we do to the web, we do to ourselves. All things connect."

"The soul is the same in all living creatures, although the body of each is different."

"We have enslaved the rest of the animal creation, and have treated our distant cousins in fur and feathers so badly that beyond doubt, if they were able to formulate a religion, they would depict the devil in human form"

"How can you look into the eyes of an animal, and believe there is no soul?"

"You have just dined, and however scrupulously the slaughterhouse is concealed in the graceful distance of miles, there is complicity."

"Until one has loved an animal, a part of one's soul remains unawakened."

"But ask now the beasts, and they shall teach thee; and the fowls of the air, and they shall tell thee: Speak to the Earth and it shall answer thee: and the fishes of the sea shall declare unto thee. Who is ignorant that the hand of the Lord hath made all these things? In whose hand is the SOUL of EVERY LIVING THING, and the spirit of all flesh of mankind."

THE VOICE

I am the voice of the voiceless
And through the dumb shall speak
Till the deaf world's ear be made to hear
The wrongs of the wordless weak

From street, from cage, from kennel,
From stable and zoo, the wail
of my tortured kin proclaims the sin
Of the mighty against the frail

Oh, shame on the mothers of mortals
who have not stooped to teach
of the sorrows that lies in dear, dumb eyes
The sorrow that has no speech

For I am my brother's keeper,
and I shall fight his fight
and speak the word for beast and bird
till the world shall set things right

Animals....they can teach us arrogant humans so much
