Yesterday I posted a rant about the issue of learning to trust your gut instincts and used an illustration for the post showing a sign on the wall that says “Dog Adoption Fair Today”. My dear friend Diane, who founded PAALS (People and Animals Living Synergistically), an organization dedicated to rescuing and serving old people and old animals, called [...]
