Su***de 💔💔

Broken
I’m sorry everyone this is beyond compassion fatigue. By the time this post is scheduled, I will be flying in the clouds, stars, sunshine with all of the animals over the rainbow bridge.

The life you are born into is beyond your control. Some of us manage to climb out of the horrors we are born into. I thought I had. I found success through being kind. Unfortunately, this kindness can be taken advantage of. In my case, I didn’t have the life skills to prevent this happening again and again. I think I have learnt some now, but the damage is done.

My heart is finally broken into a thousand pieces. My mind is now beyond repair.
I now understand why my dear friend Glorz travelled the same path.

To ACT Health, Thankyou for the total lack of support with my work sustained injury. Shame on you for the bullying, the lies, the abuse, financial abuse. You had a kind caring nurse on your team but you let some of the most dangerous people into power positions strangle us compassionate nurses.

To MEJ Thankyou for stringing me along for years. Shame on you. I believed your law firm. You are just arrogant sales men that have no regard for the damage you cause to peoples lives. One day you will be faced with all those demons.

To Vegan ACT Admin, Lentil Arnett, aka Lyndel Arnett, shame on you. You are nothing but a cyber bully and you really are evil Your little evil group will face the consequences of their actions one day. You know who you are and your dangerous behaviour will be revealed and you will have to face the consequences of your actions.

To Yee-Ching Cheam, shame on you for years of your abuse. You are doing nothing but hiding in Australia, manipulating women, gaslighting friends, family and the only partner you had. Thankyou for destroying a charity for rescued animals and people. You should be so proud of your achievements. You and your little team slaved me into the ground and when I mentally broke down, you all only took the opportunity of my condition to drive the nails in totally. You must all be so proud.
Your success is based on pure cruelty. Take note that the people, so called friends, advising you are also the ones that took advantage of me and advised to benefit their own needs. One day you will find out the truth

To those that can, please support the animals i am heartbreakingly leaving behind. Please support Clint to care for them.

To Clint, you were truly the love of my life. You filled my heart and it pains me that you had to choose another path. I hope you feel my love and support always. You protected me from evil and had my back always. I leave you everything to help ease the pain. Take care of our beautiful babies and I will look after them on the other side. That is a promise. We were so in love and made for each other. Sadly, some people prefer to destroy happiness. I am sorry that they got to me finally and I hope you can forgive me for succumbing. I just have no strength left. Leaving you is the hardest.
Kindness and Compassion sometimes wins

So many people saying goodbye to Pets of late ,but undecided when the time is right to do so. Hope this helps. 💙

Euthanasia 💔🙏🙏 A Good Death

When is the right time to euthanaze a pet ?
A Good Death
I think considering the question “what are you waiting for” instead of “when is it time” clarifies a lot of things. It often brings to mind the scenarios that we don’t want our animals to experience if it is in our power to prevent it.

I can’t think of anything more awful than waiting to euthanize my arthritic sweet Pet until he's down in the cold grass, struggling and panicking for hours.

I will gently put him to sleep on a warm day when the sun is shining, while she is standing and her last hours will be filled with love and gratitude for the many years of Love and happiness she gave to me.

I will not wait until the bad days have squeezed out all the good ones until there is only suffering. That isn’t fair and that is as selfish as euthanizing too early. Somewhere between convenience and a love too great to let them go is a happy medium where the needs and suffering of the animal are considered independent of the human’s needs.
a good death comes from the heart.

For anyone who's been following Esther's journey over the many years she's been in our lives. Rest in Peace beautiful girl. Deepest sympathy to both Dads 💔💔

Hello, everybody.

There’s no easy way to say this, but the day we all wished would never come has arrived. Esther has passed away. She was calm and peaceful, and fell asleep with her dad Steve by her side.

While we understand many of you will have questions, and we will have the answers for you , but we are going to take a little break to process the situation.

Even though Esther is no longer physically with us, her memory and legacy will live forever. Esther is immortal, and we will continue to show the world that all animals deserve to be loved just like she was.

Sending love and happy thoughts to each and every one of you. We know you all loved her just as much as we did, and we thank you for that.

Xoxoxox.

Understanding pain from a different perspective. 🖤❤️

Imagine you are walking in the woods and you see a small dog sitting by a tree. As you approach it, it suddenly lunges at you, teeth bared. You are frightened and angry. But then you notice that one of its legs is caught in a trap. Immediately your mood shifts from anger to concern: You see that the dog's aggression is coming from a place of vulnerability and pain. This applies to all of us. When we behave in hurtful ways, it is because we are caught in some kind of trap. The more we look through the eyes of wisdom at ourselves and one another, the more we cultivate a compassionate heart.
