This may not seem like a big deal, but I have spent 2 years gentling this (formerly)feral cat and today he hopped on my bed for the first time ever! I nearly cried.

Every year my 90yo grandma crochets hats for kids in need. This year one of her assigned teens wrote that they were bi in the 'about you' section. She asked me what it meant and I explained. On her own, she researched and made a hat that includes both the flag & the girl's favorite color, green.

Thomas' eyes. A year ago this boy walked out of the woods and started meowing at my door, scared, abandoned, and nothing but skin and bones. When I picked him up, he sighed as if saying, Finally, I'm home.

My grandma's mom used to make a blackberry jam cake every year for her birthday. The recipe was lost over fifty years ago. Grandma mentioned that she wished she could taste it again. The cake she described was nothing like recipes I researched so I ended up winging it. Turns out I got pretty close.

Today is National Horse Protection day. This is my rescued mare Indie giving birth to her foal, Axil. She was 350lbs underweight when I got her... beaten, neglected, and pregnant. Please report neglected and starving horses to the authorities. Support farm sanctuaries. Adopt. Foster. Love.

This is my boy Rigby. He has terminal cancer and hasn't barked in weeks due to oral tumors but this morning I woke to him barking like crazy. I walked into the kitchen to see two intruders trying to open my back door. They fled once they saw me. Without Rigby barking, I wouldn't have woken up.

The best moment of my entire life, my heart horse's first breaths. I cannot convey how much this horse (now 5) means to me and how grateful I am to his ma for giving him every last bit of herself to bring him into this world even though she was starving. Hope this isn't too graphic for y'all.

I'm in a hospital 1,000 miles away from my heart horse. My neighbor called and said that she hasn't heard him whinny the entire time I've been gone; she typically hears him several times a day. I don't know if he can miss me as much as I miss him, but I never knew how much I struggle without him. ❤️
