A Special Day For Fleecy—Her First Birthday

Fleecy’s First Birthday was on Saturday, October 1, 2011. I still remember bringing her home wrapped up in a blanket and all the midnight visits with her in the side yard, all the pulling of tablecloths, all the boisterous activities, the puppy classes, time out in the kennel, eating things she shouldn’t and lovely walks and talks. Her positive, playful nature and a lovely disposition make her friends with everyone. Her buddies, Poppy and Panda Bear sit with her routinely in the kitchen and she continues to play with Poppy regularly. The cats can escape through the baby gates across our two kitchen doors but have to really struggle now to get through them.

It was a cool, overcast day in the morning but turned warmer with intermittent sunshine in the afternoon. We sang Happy Birthday to her in the morning and gave her two new plastic squeaky toys—a colourful fully loaded hot dog and a pink Cinderella high-heeled shoe. In the afternoon we walked around Lake Margaret enjoying the sunshine and allowing her to be off the leash where we could. We started from our usual parking spot in Pinafore Park and walked to the back of the park and followed the Lake Margaret trail around the lake for the 1.15 km loop. There were lots of geese on the Lake. We kept her on the leash so she wouldn’t chase them but Bob and Fleecy walking on the path unnerved them and off they flew to congregate on the lake. We walked back to the car with our faces in sunshine and took Fleecy to Shaw’s Ice Cream for an ice cream treat and a drink of water. She lapped down her Vanilla ice cream and seemed to enjoy it right to the last lick. I had Gold Medal Ribbon in a sugar cone and Bob had a two-tier Caramel Apple Pie and Raspberry Chocolate in a waffle cone. We took many pictures of our day with Fleecy to remember her first birthday!

I Carry The Sacred Heart Of The Universe In My Humble Hands

I Carry The Sacred Heart Of The Universe In My Humble Hands

By Gail McNaughton, August 24, 2011

I carry the sacred heart of the universe in my humble hands.

I protect it with clarity of vision,

And a deep understanding of the human race.

I witness its miracle in every day lives,

And ask it to do more with less effort.

The density of the earth is like a solid cloud,

As people push away from sacred lives and turn to violence.

The radiance of the sacred heart will need to be laser focused,

To turn heavy hearts into light spirits,

Who are open to receiving love.

Where there is love there is no fear,

And when there is no fear there is peace.

The connection with spirit has been forgotten.

People have become more physical with cold hearts,

That can look into the eyes of someone and destroy,

The sacred part of who they are.

Cruelty, vengeance, deceit, jealousy, rage, hopelessness,

Power, greed, callousness, fuel more anger,

And ignite the world on fire and many perish.

What’s a world without people?

How do we grow to our spiritual potential,

When we see a negative reflection in the world’s mirror?

I’ll find the troubled spots of the world,

And ask others to join my humanitarian angel band of healers.

We will turn the melting pots into turquoise pools of tranquility,

And a breathing network of love.

Many hunger for a new balance and a new order.

We can help to make dramatic changes.

We are here to serve and hear your voices in unison.

We are sacred light workers,

Who will carry the sacred heart of the universe in our humble hands,

And help you create love in the world.

Moon Bear

I met Coleen Burns who belongs to the volunteer chapter, SW Ontario for Animals Asia. Of all places we met at our hairdressers. We then met again. I was very disturbed by our first meeting as she told me about the horrific situation with Moon Bears in China. I don’t want to disturb you. You could go to the website which is www.animalsasia.org. In essence the bears are not respected as dignified animals and nor are dogs and cats. Like many I don’t want to put my head in the sand and it is good to be educated. When you own pets like I do and dote over them and care for them with your heart and soul it is very hurtful knowing that others don’t feel the same way. Our cultures differ which also needs to be understood. It is people like Colleen and many others who care who have stepped forward to help sponsor bears and raise money for their sanctuary. I’ll leave it in your trusted hands what you want to do. Here is a doodle art I did of Moon Bear.
