A Weekend of Animal Fun

This past weekend, we had blast helping our animal friends!

The Bucks County S.P.C.A www.bcspca.org had a booth at The Peace Fair at The Buckingham Friends School, and my daughter and I, along with two other volunteers, were there to answer questions and show off two of the shelter dogs-Ranger, a sweet and very gentle Pit Bull and Zoe a cute-as-a-button, Bichon Frise.

The weather was gorgeous, and our dogs got alot of attention while strolling through the festival.
They received many compliments and inquires!

On Sunday, we headed out to Newtown Square, and our friend, Cynthia's, alpaca farm.
We spent the afternoon helping her feed the alpaca and the goats. And my husband did some paint scraping to ready the farm for it's new barn paint.

London absolutely loves all the animals and is totally engaged with them the entire time!
I think her favorite is a chubby orange and white love bug named Rudy!

Frozen Hearts, Forgotten Lives: The Peril Of Pets In Winter

Keeping Your Pets Safe: Why They Belong Inside During Freezing Weather When temperatures drop, your pets rely on you to protect them from the cold. Leaving them outside in freezing conditions is not only dangerous for their health—it can also lead to serious legal consequences. Here’s why keeping your pets indoors during winter isn’t just a kindness; it’s a responsibility. 1. Freezing Temperatures Are Life-Threatening Dogs and cats are susceptible to frostbite, hypothermia, and other cold-related injuries. Contrary to popular belief, fur is not enough to keep them warm. Frostbite can damage their ears, tails, and paws, while hypothermia can cause their organs to shut down. Even hardy breeds like Huskies need proper shelter and care to survive extreme conditions. 2. IT'S THE LAW In many states and cities, it’s illegal to leave pets outside in extreme weather. If a neighbor sees your dog or cat left in the cold, they can—and often will—call animal control, the Humane Society, or ev...

WHAT IS COMPASSION SCHOOL?

I get this question a lot. What is Compassion School? It’s not just another program or curriculum—it’s a movement. Compassion School is a groundbreaking approach to education designed to nurture empathy, kindness, and respect for animals in children from an early age. Imagine a classroom where math, science, and language arts intertwine with lessons on understanding animal emotions, advocating for creatures in need, and recognizing the interconnectedness of all life. That’s Compassion School. Why Focus on Empathy for Animals? Children are naturally curious about animals, but that curiosity isn’t always guided toward understanding and respect. Traditional education often overlooks emotional intelligence toward non-human lives. Compassion School fills that gap. Here’s why it matters: Empathy as a Foundation: Empathy isn’t just "being nice"—it’s a critical life skill. Studies show that children who practice empathy toward animals develop stronger...
