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!

Broken Hearts: An Anti-Bullying Campaign

Today, I want to talk about a topic that has been, well, talked about a lot-- Bullying! Bullying is never okay. In any form and to any living being. It is NEVER okay. We know this, as adults. But, do we really follow what our heart is telling us to do? Do we help others when they are being picked on or laughed at, or cyber bullied? Do we teach our children that we should never bully others, and to stand up to a bully, even if it means telling an adult? I had an experience with London being bullied at the start of the school year in her new school. This had never happed before, and let me tell you, I was furious! London immediately told me when I picked her up from school that day, and my husband and I talked with her teacher that evening. And we talked about how it made her feel, and how wrong those two girls were for doing that to her. Her amazing teacher, to her credit, handled the situation rapidly and with the concern and anger of, not only a teacher,...

Knowing We Must Say Goodbye

Wishing you were somehow here again Knowing we must say goodbye Try to forgive, teach me to live Give me the strength to try -From The Phantom of the Opera A few short weeks ago, my best friend had to say goodbye to her precious cat of twenty one years. As you can image, it was one of the hardest things she has ever had to do. It was also one of the kindest gifts she could have given to her little Simba. We all know what a difficult and incredibly sad decision this is to make. We question that decision long after our little angel is at rest. We talk to our friends and loves ones about him or her, and if we are lucky, we have that one person who totally gets how we are feeling, and tries to ease our pain by letting us reminisce and remember. If we're very lucky, we have that one friend. Here are a few suggestions that might help you when confronted with a friend who needs you to just listen, and be a tr...
