Did you know that livestock production accounts for between 14% and 18% of greenhouse gas emissions globally? That is more than cars and vans!

Between that and the intensive animal agricultural practices involved, livestock production and factory farming are harming animals and our shared planet.

I am so excited for this business venture. It aligns so well with the future we want to build on our rural property. To share this space with dogs and take such good care of them that it feels like a second home to them πŸ’–

One of my life long friends had a birthday yesterday. This is a flashback to the late 80's.

Bats found in buildings cannot be placed outside during late fall to early spring. They should be in a state of torpor, if awake, they likely need help.
Contain the battle in a pillowcase, place in a cardboard box and contact a local wildlife rehabber.
Please DO NOT put them outside!

Virginia Opossum's have a hard time in the cold Ontario Winters. Luckily for this little one he was brought to Foster Forest Wildlife where he is being rehydrated, and slowly fed easily digested nutrition to avoid "refeeding" syndrome.

Kakisa, Northwest Territories, has one road in and out. Twice in a decade, wildfires completely cut it off from the rest of the territory, with evacuation orders delivered by hand. It is a situation that residents don’t want to be in again. thewalrus.ca/tiny-town-wildfi...

Grieving your parents is supposed to be a natural life experience. Yet it hurts so deeply. I find myself looking for messages from them everywhere. I fight the reality that they are gone. Grief bursts are intense. Can I adapt?

I am going to miss the hummingbird antics when they leave.
Sitting under the feeder to film.

PSA: wash your feeders in soap and water once a week. If very hot you may need to put new sugar water in twice a week.
