I don’t have photos of everybody but I will try to get them soon:)
Our animals mean a lot to us, we really do love them! I don’t know what the definition of an animal activist is, but I think I probably fall somewhere close to that category.
An animal’s eyes have the power to speak a great language. -Martin Buber
Meet …Sweet, Sweet Bella Don’t try and tell me that she doesn’t have feelings
11/16/2011 Bella was killed by a hawk this morning. I have been crying off and on since it happened. She was so sweet and a good friend to us. I don’t want to go on and on and make myself look ridiculous. I will just say…I’m sad and I’m going to miss her:(

The greatness of a nation and its moral progress can be judged by the way its animals are treated. ~Mohandas Gandhi
Our task must be to free ourselves… by widening our circle of compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole of nature and its beauty.

This is Gringo. He is not just a Dog, he is our friend. I’ve never had a dog like him and I probably never will again.
7-29-2012 It’s a sad day on this little farm. We lost our sweet, beautiful, loving dog today. He has been such a good friend to me, a play mate to my children and a great protector of the other animals. Really, there has never been such a good dog, we will all miss him greatly. We have dug many holes on this property to bury many beloved animals but this is by far the hardest hole we have had to dig. We miss you, Big guy and I hope you know how very much we love you, Barefoot Five
