London On My Mind (Our New Series)

We are starting a new little project!

Every FRIDAY, starting on February 13th, London and I will answer one of your animal related questions!
London will also read a recent post from her Facebook page,(Children Helping Animals In Need) and comment on the content...as only a nine year old animal activist can!
So, if you are wondering about rescuing or adopting a pet, what healthy foods to feed the Guinea Pig you just brought home, how you can be more involved in animal welfare, or even something difficult, like what to say to a child when their beloved pet dies.
Please have your questions posted by the Thursday before.
London is looking forward to doing her best, at answering your questions!

Please post your questions in the comment section on this blog OR on London's Facebook page, Children Helping Animals In Need.

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.

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...
