"I died today.
I was found by a kind, sweet woman who does wildlife rescue.
I was so sick, I could barely open my eyes.
She took me inside, cradling me in her warm arms, and made me warm and comfortable.
I opened my eyes and looked at her and thanked her for making my last few minutes as comfortable as possible.
But I was too sick to keep fighting anymore.
I had eaten a mouse that was poisoned, and it made me very sick.
I closed my yellow eyes for the last time and went somewhere else.
Please, all I ask is never use poison to kill the mice.
Poison kills owls, like me.
All I wanted was a mouse for dinner.

Stop the use of poison for rats or mice.
Live traps are the best to use. Catch and release.
It only takes one share to spread the word."

ONE OF LIFE'S MOST IMPORTANT DECISIONS:
Albert Einstein once said that one of the most important decisions we make is whether we believe we live in a hostile or friendly universe. This crucial decision determines the quality of our life because our mindset determines how we experience life.

If we believe that fundamentally, the universe is hostile or even indifferent, then our basic attitude toward life will most likely be pessimistic. We’ll basically expect that things probably won’t work out as we want, causing us to avoid taking risks.

This belief tends to generate a mindset that life is basically futile and lacking purpose. Believing that the universe is friendly and interested in our well-being, creates a positive outlook on life generating a sense of purpose and even adventure regarding our journey here on Earth.

Living life optimistically causes us to expect that things will ultimately work out, filling us with hope and encouragement. The reality is that when it comes to the unseen, spiritual realm, we don’t know for sure whether the universe is hostile or friendly.

However, it’s my opinion that there is abundant evidence that the universe is in fact friendly and even guided by a divine entity. Since we don’t know for sure, why not simply choose to believe that the universe is friendly, knowing it will profoundly improve our quality of life.

One reason that a gratitude practice is so highly recommended is that when we are consciously looking for things to be grateful for, we are supporting a mindset that the universe is friendly, providing blessings in our lives.

What we focus on tends to expand in our lives as our brain is programmed to find examples that support our beliefs. Believing that the universe is friendly also helps to create resilience in life. We know that life will bring challenges and difficulties.

However, expecting that things will ultimately work out and that we can receive divine guidance, helps us to maintain courage and hope as we progress through life’s challenge.

Until next time, enjoy the journey!

Happens way to much.

FORGIVE ME, MOMMY 😢🐾…
I was there where you left me for two whole days. Sleeping right on the side of the road. I was terrified of the noise from the cars but I did not move.
Last night one of those cars stopped and she got out. She invited me to lunch but I said no. She invited me to come sleep at her house and I also said no. I tried to explain to her that I was waiting for you but she wouldn’t listen. She pulled out a leash and said I couldn’t stay there any longer. I bit her several times and ended up p*eing on myself as I growled and cried! She didn’t understand that she was separating me from you! She took me against my will and we drove off! I was so sad because I knew you were going to be worried. We ended up at her house.
I kept screaming hoping you would hear me but you never came. I vomited because of my nerves, feeling so sick. I kept telling her I had to go back because you were going to think I abandoned you when you saw I wasn’t there! I, who love you with all my heart and soul have not stopped crying since we separated a few days ago. I want you to know, I would never do that to you.
I don’t know where you are now or why you stopped the car and left me there. Surely you had something very important to do. Can you come find me now, mommy?
Today I ate because my tummy was hurting. I also slept on a very soft bed. And by accident I also wiggled my tail a bit. I’m so sorry, please forgive me. She’s just being really nice to me. She said I could stay forever. She’s calling me Savannah, but I already have a name. When you pick me up you can tell it to her. You’ll see how surprised she’ll be when you explain to her that this was a big mistake.
Because mommy, you’re coming back for me, right 😢?

Now I have arrived at your home,
everything is strange, and I don't feel good.

Do not feel impatient
If i don't sleep in my newbasket.
Yesterday, I slept on a stone floor.

Do not be terrified if i gobble up my food.
Yesterday. I had to do it to survive.

Do not get angry if I p*e on your floor.
Yesterday, it did not matter.

Do not be sad if I am afraid of your loving hand. Yesterday, I did not have one.

Have patience with me, it's your world
but not yet mine.

If I trust you, I can give you the greatest
Gift Ihave to give..
My Heart ❤️

Please never forget, I was a pound dog
All I need, is a bit of time to adjust.

Today, I had to say goodbye to my dearest daddy. Sunday's party was a happy blur, but it was also my farewell. A fever hit me that night, and despite cuddles and care, things got worse. By Tuesday, I couldn't control myself anymore.

At the vet, hope crumbled. My blood work showed a steep decline, and the playful puppy within me was fading. The playful puppy within me was fading. Dad knew what he had to do. There were expensive treatments, but they were temporary solutions, ones we'd tried before.

The most painful decision a pet parent can make, Dad chose to let me go peacefully. No more pain, that's my promise. He took my collar, a silent reminder of the love we shared. Though heartbroken, Dad vowed to honor me by giving another beagle a loving home.

From the bottom of my playful heart, thank you for everything. You were the best family a dog could ask for. The memories we made will forever bring a smile, even to my doggy heaven.

When you bring a pet to a shelter because you're sick of him abusing you...
Or preventing you from going on holiday... don't try to speak it well for yourself then. He's just sitting there waiting. He’s waiting for you to come get him and bring him home. He's been waiting for seconds, minutes, hours, days, years... 🥹
He doesn't know why you're not coming back, but he's waiting for you because he trusts you 💔 Because unlike you, he loves you forever...

Taking a pet is no joke! Think twice before adopting one... ❤️

“Did you know that if you put 100 black ants and 100 red ants in a jar, nothing will happen?
But if you shake the jar hard, the ants start killing each other.
The red ants consider the black ants their enemies, and the black ants consider the red ants their enemies.
The true enemy is the one shaking the jar.
The same thing happens in human society. So, before we attack each other, we should ask ourselves, who is shaking the jar?”
Stop the division already and ask yourself “Who’s shaking the jar?”
It’s simple.
Stop looking for things to be offended by and Look for the things that unite us, moreso than what divides us!!!
