What an amazing Christmas gift from your pup. I guess that is why that guy's comment left me so flummoxed- even if you believe pets are below humans and are here to serve us, which I don't agree with but I know lots of people feel that way- they DO serve many important functions to help us live better. And welcome! I love that you have a therapy job- that’s something I’d love to hear more about! What an amazing Christmas gift from your pup.

(all of it) We like to support Make-A-Wish and the local YMCA. I think people who give tend to do so in myriad ways. :) Leo is going to have a wonderful retirement. Aw, that is so wonderful.

Your letter to Jon was perfect. I love the word twerp, I haven't heard that in a while. Obviously Jon hasn't been along with therapy dogs while they are visiting. In two seconds he would see how important animals are and what benefits they can bring. On Christmas Eve I took my therapy dog to a local nursing home for our monthly visit and had a patient just sob into the fur of my dog while giving her a giant hug because he missed his so much. He was so happy that he had a chance to pet a dog and thanked me for stopping by. That was the best Christmas gift I could ever recieve, knowing that I made that patient's day a little less lonely.

The whole concept seems off to me- especially since I wonder what percentage of the animal protein sources come from animals raised SOLELY for pet food consumption?

I like chickens well enough and would like to have a few some day... but a chicken is simply not going to cuddle up to me like my puppy.

I guess he was a terrible vet- how else could one come away with that impression of the profession? I guess throwing others under the bus is much more lucrative. I can’t help but laugh.
