Holy Grackles, Batman!!! 🐦‍⬛ 🐦‍⬛ 🐦‍⬛

A plague of grackles are seen as spirit world messengers with secrets, hidden knowledge, and reminders to take care of yourself and to find joy in the smallest things.

We've been blessed with a few large flocks (called plagues) several times over the years. Always a surreal feeling when they fly over you creating wind with their wings. Let your worries fly away with them?!? Happy, socializing, intelligent birds that remind you its ok to be noisy for your own growth and success. Its ok to put YOUR NEEDS priority, too. Givers can literally become sick neglecting themselves. To stop focusing on wrongs of the past and fleeting worries of now as it will only stifle your true potential ❤️

Ancestors reminding me to breathe and focus.

That I can do so much more shedding the tedious and things I can't change while focusing on the joys of NOW. Remember who the f**k I am??? Not what others want to force me to be or become. ✨️

Butterflies on Fire
-- A Veteran's Tale --

By Retired Staff Sgt. Terry Gallentine,
Operation Iraq Freedom disabled veteran

FINAL PART ...

Oh, look! There is light!
No, just a small flicker of what's left of my soul.
Let's pretend.
It's sweeter to smile.
Everything is alright.
Shake your doll,
Pull my string so I laugh.
Now "I'm just fine."

Come dance with me, demons.
Distracted,
Willingly,
Twirling to hell.
Whisper sweet nothings ...

Just watch the Butterflies ...
The flames tickle my soul.

Look at the Butterflies ...
They whisper.
Massive flames out of control.

Your greed consumes,
And I can't feel, anymore.
I only get sicker,
They only get richer.
Pick my co**se from the floor.
Death not allowed.
Prop up and pretty.
There's still some to squeeze out of me.

💢💢💢💢💢💢💢💢💢💢💢💢💢

Butterflies on Fire
-- A Veteran's Tale --

By Retired Staff Sgt. Terry Gallentine,
Operation Iraq Freedom disabled veteran

Part Two ...

Look at those fluttering wings!
You are so pretty.
Wow, look how strong!
Kiss me with tempting fake dreams.
Look into the camera, please!

Stab me, again. I no longer bleed.
Nothing left.
Drained, hollowed shell.
A carcass shaking a tin for your pennies.
You give not a care.
Not even a thought.

It will get better?
Beckon me with sweet lies?
Slap on more lipstick.
Filter on, pain gone.
Painted, pretty facade-talking head.
Such wonderful quotes.
We all should be proud.
We did so well!
Now tuck away, cripple.
Go get more sick.
There's more wallets out there.
Your tears open juicy safes with a click.

Oh please!
Turn my attention away.
Sometimes, it's invited.
Door to heart cracked open.
Just a sliver.

Don't mind the blood.
The mess.
The loss.
Nor the scars, or empty eyes.
Dead faces and past cries.

Oh, it's too gruesome?
No one likes sad.
Back to playland.
So sorry! My bad!

Butterflies on Fire
-- A Veteran's Tale --

By Retired Staff Sgt. Terry Gallentine,
Operation Iraq Freedom disabled veteran

Beauty in peace.
Chaos with flames.
Moments of joy.
Deceitfully pretty seconds,
Mixed in.
Disguised over decades of pain.

Butterflies distracted me.
So a fire could spread.

Licking,
Burning,
Growing ...

Choke on my smoke.

Fester, don't purge.
Engulf me, painful wound.
Please never do heal.
Disposable.

Death's little mistress.
An or****ic knife through my soul.
Slice me to shreds!
I moan with delight between breaths.
Between screams.
Choking on tears.

Promise me relief, sweet lover.
Toes curling with agony.
Fingers claw, knuckles whiten for an end.
Reaching,
So tangled.
The tunnel opens.
Crawl in to die.

Oh, you need something?
Well then,
Nevermind!
Push the darkness aside.

Denied, yet again.
The devils start looking better than friends.

Make me scream.
Bring on the fears.
Give me hurt.
Take away years.

I deserve nothing more.
No rest for the broken.
Night terrors.
Cold sweats.
Fill life's cup with grief.
Table for one, and keep it coming, please.
Drink til I'm numb.

But you know how I feel?
All in my head.
Take some more pills.
Smile, its fun to feel dead.

False sense, better days.
Silence me with insincere niceties.
Hush with no true concern.

Sure ...
You "are here" for me.
Quick to be said.
Faster to disappear.
Run little children.
You are not wanted here.

Fill your pockets.
Use my scorn.
Drunk with false promises.
Drag out reality.
You live in bliss.
Keep getting rich.
Take the rest of me.
"Dance, puppet," you hiss.

I'm just your soldier.
Are we so proud?
Still just your pawn.
A toy in a chest.
Pull out when useful.
Toss once worn.
Yet I continue with it known.
Stupidly hopeful.
Begging for scraps.
Prayers float away.
Forgotten and beaten.
Buried but gasping for air.

Empty "thank yous."
What will never be.
Use me!
They get this and they get that.
Now back into the dark you go.
Til they need you, again.
Things will get better, the wicked, they lie.
.. Part One

Our animal companions just get weirder and weirder ...

This one talks more than Liam did. Short responses almost bird chirp-like. He also reaches up like a toddler asking to be picked up. But you have to keep toilet seats down because he likes to swim 🤮

Wonder what the next-level of odd furball the universe will send this way???

Still waiting for my black cat to return. Each void has come to me over the years. Miss my Liam so much. Hoping his spirit finds me soon ✨️

❤️❤️❤️18 YEARS TODAY!!!❤️❤️❤️
💕HAPPY 7-11 DAY, BABY!!!💕

Eighteen years ago, I had returned from Iraq and went to the courthouse to marry my best friend. He proposed in a letter via snail mail while I was deployed. I don't think it was much of a surprise to anyone as we were inseperable from the start!

Been lots of ups and downs but we've stuck together. Blended families are HARD.

Thank you, Jason, for not only putting up with me, which I know isn't easy, but for showing me what love, patience and friendship really is. I'd marry you a hundred more times!

Happy Anniversary, my love!

No matter what life brings, I will always be blessed having you and our kids (when they behave 🤣) in my life. Time flies when you get to spend it with your best friend.

Growing mature with the s*xiest Marine! I know how lucky I am 😘 Jason Gallentine

Here's to 18+ more!!! Long-awaited honeymoons, adventures, empty-nesting to come. Elderly makeout sessions in public places, etc. And SOMEDAY we will get our free slushies, too?!?

07/09/2024

Going on 29ish hours without power. House getting hot! Luckily I bought some solar fans not long ago that will be in the barn soon -- in house for now!

LOTS of debris from trees. Checking fences soon. Horses are good.

Definitely didn't need more yard cleanup chores, or having to toss all perishable food BUT our little tribe (human and other) is safe -- so we are good.

Appreciate all those who checked in on us.

Hoping power is back on for all of us soon 🙏

Will get better look at structures later today.

Pic of both "babies" laying on and on top of me for the majority of the storm, yesterday. Bit sore from that, butt clenching it while driving through it for an appointment and jumping in and out of truck to pull limbs and branches out of the road.

I'm too old for this stuff!!!

Bit freaky sounding. No power and tornado watch., too. Hope everyone is doing OK. Pray for those on the coast. They got hit bad.

06/13/2024

According to multiple, credible sources (VSOs, VA and national healthcare organizations, etc.), "There are an estimated 1 million veterans who identify as le***an, gay, bis*xual, transgender and q***r."

So it's irritating to see posts "declaring" June be made into another veterans' month (there's already three of those plus multiple holidays) to downplay/challenge Pride Month.

For one ... there have always been LGBTQ+ serving in all first responder fields. Even prior to the "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" nonsense post mid-90s. I've served with many great members in both the military and hospital settings. Not a single one would have withheld protection or care discriminating against you ... yet, bigots fill the world with ignorant comments -- way too focused on other people's s*x lives and harmless lifestyle choices.

And what about the veterans??? So quick to dangle our struggles and needs for change as deflection on every other topic YET you don't care enough to actually DO SOMETHING CONSTRUCTIVE to help us. Stop using us as excuses to further your own agendas.

PS -- Not all veterans are good people, either. We are a mixing pot of everything from everywhere and unfortunately turds still get mixed in, too. So the racist, s*xist, anti-good hypocrites can shut their pieholes, too.

Separation from church and state. Freedom to practice religion without persecution. Freedom from tyranny and oppression ...

Remember why the majority of veterans served. To keep our country safe and thriving FOR ALL CITIZENS. Not just ones just like you.

I tried to make a difference.

Until you step into the realm of rescue, you don't know how heartbreaking, stressful and overwhelming it is IN EVERY ASPECT.

Seeing how cruel people are. Not just the ones who abuse and neglect animals. The cutthroat charities and foundations, fraudsters and those in alliances with horse flippers.

Being a designated 501c3 public charity does not mean you automatically get any federal, or state funding. A common misconception. As is the dreamy grants that get scooped up by the multi-million dollar, paid CEO charities with full-time grant writing teams ... ridiculous amounts of money and no change to show for it.

So much suffering. It's getting unbearable having my hands tied. The desire and ability ready but no means available. Dying dreams to grieve.

I'm burned out.

My health reflects it. Labs look like crap. Thyroid was the latest autoimmune victim. Another damn pill. No rest. Keep pushing.

Veterans are dying from all sorts of illness and cancers with service-connected environmental exposures -- or by their own hand. Numbers growing every day.

Mental health crisis is affecting our youth, too. Takes sometimes six months or more to get the first appointment. Half a million kids in Texas foster care. So many needing positive mentors bouncing around in the juvenile justice system.

Community members suffering from grief and trauma. Hands need extended out for domestic violence victims to become survivors.

I wanted to help so many more heal, too. Advocate and demand change in so many broken, or absent programs.

Why are people so selfish, entitled, evil and uncaring?

Just needed to vent. Being sick makes you stationary and without manual labor distractions. I made some big differences to those affected. Nearly 40 horses over three years. More than 20 people with several free therapy sessions each. Three made known were no longer at-risk to themselves. Because I offered to help.

I wanted to get this bigger. I wanted to do more.

Where are the warriors at?

Rescue has brought so much loss, too.

We loved each hard in the little cherished time we had. My heart broke with each.

I held several in my arms and told them how sorry I was others did that to them. That they were good horses that didn't deserve anything but love.

A few seniors passed in their sleep. Bellies full. Safe maybe for the first time during their lives.

Babies, teens, adults and elders. Horses, donkeys and ponies. All too soon in my heart.

I pray they left knowing love. 💔

✨️ What You Send Out
✨️ Into The World
✨️ Is What You Get Back

🍃🍃🍃🍃🍃🍃🍃🍃🍃🍃🍃🍃🍃🍃

Actions, energies and intents aren't always met with quick progress. In a society which expects instant rewards and gratification no matter the amount of effort or true passion put in, patience and commitment while staying focus on lasting, sustainable change can feel overwhelming and even hopeless at times.

Something I've struggled with in rescue countless times. There will never be happiness every single day. But there will also never be sadness and loss forever, too.

Yesterday the Marine went to mow down the rapidly growing jungle several bouts of storms kept from upkeep. He rushed inside frantically looking for a box and urging me to come outside. He had miraculously saw a teeny baby Bluejay hidden beneath the tree and right in the path of the mower.

It had fallen at least 40 feet and remnants of a sibling a predator had found lay near it. Too young and without any flight feathers grown in, the task of baby bird rehab is exhausting and the majority of the time, unsuccessful.

BUT YOU HAVE TO TRY! We are creatures with abilities to either help and preserve our ecosystem OR lose it and ripple effect generations to come.

Why does EVERYTHING always happen on holiday weekends??? Plus there are limited wildlife rescue services in our state. Something we've contemplated getting involved in with the encroachment of humans and consequential increase of displaced, abandoned and/or injured wildlife.

Let's dismiss one birdie "old wives' tale." Birds olfactory organs (ability to smell) sucks! Just as fairytales were conjured up to instill real-world warnings, I'm wondering if this may have been to prevent spread of bird-to-human, zoonotic diseases. Which are still very possible, prevalent and can be life-threatening.

I digress ... registered nurse, after all.

Wash hands before and after plus gloves if handy. YOU CAN SAFELY RETURN BABIES TO NEST! I mean wild animals are best kept in the wild with their own parents caring for them. Plus it's illegal to keep many wild species without permits and lots of birds are also protected by federal laws.

Their nest was very far up and impossible to reach. With recent high winds, it may have been damaged too which caused the little one to fall. So, I hung a new one up with hope the parents would find and care for it. Plan B would have been caring for it while frantically getting ahold of a rehab and traveling against time to it.

Unsure if there was internal, or neurological injuries, shock, dehydration -- I put little Ingrid in a plant holder lined in dried grasses and hoped for the best. She still had some liveliness but my heart knew with any rescue there is possibility of loss.

Marine saw the parents taking turns caring for Ingrid first ❤️ He is such a beautiful soul. Protector of all, my Devil Dog personifies "The Proud. The Few." He was ecstatic to tell me his keen-eyed save may infact thrive again. And I've been sitting on the porch since grinning about it, too.

I'll take any victory no matter how small it may seem to others.

Disclaimer: all sorts of various factors would determine how to appropriately help wildlife in need. This baby was near predators, without feathers and near its nesting area. If you have wildlife rescues near you, can get a game warden involved, vet -- please use your best judgement on what is needed for your particular situation -- and your safety, too. Plus, wash your hands A LOT!!!

Devil Dog Depot Equine Sanctuary and Rescue is still here and doing the best with extremely limited resources. I do get upset believing the majority would also want to help at-risk equine with as much passion and conviction as I do -- only to be disappointed to be reminded otherwise.

No creature should suffer. No human should allow it, either. So if me, you, us give up -- its them and future generations who lose. Help us if able. Lots of small efforts DO make big differences even if we can't see them immediately.

Go be good humans 🙏

Happy Birthday, Marine!!!

19 years together and NEVER ONCE has he wanted to celebrate his born day! Stubborn punk ass ... I'm happy you came into this crazy world ❤️

Happy Birthday to my Marine (and mf'er ... haha ... get it, Mothers Day), Jason Gallentine! I’m so grateful to have such a patient, hard-working, awesome father and husband and most of all, best friend to share my life with. You deserve to be spoiled. You make me want to keep fighting for my health -- you deserve less worry, awesome adventures and lots of titty-time! Here’s to many more years of aging gracefully together, my stud!!! 😘😘😘

PS -- He sent this pic to me while I was deployed to Iraq. My sanity in uncertainty ❤️

Love You!!!

Didn't want to spook the flock of cow birds in the dead tree out back. Or walk through mushy fields. Or expend any energy, really ... 🤣

But it's cool to see all the critters that visit the property. These guys ate their fill of crawdads in the field then opted for a tree nap 💕

I ate my fill of street tacos and now want a couch nap! Happy Cinco De Mayo!!!

Still kicking. Sporting gardening sunburn on chest with sweater -- Texas weather acting like it's bipolar self? Doing lots of prep before another drought this summer and before surgery. Dreaming of a shady oasis and my health/energy back.

Sanctuary residents well. Little tribe here well. Missing our Liam bad.

Still keeping a low profile, too. Leaving phone behind more and more. Don't take it personal. I've neglected me so long that I'm paying for it. Once I've got my energy back -- I'll be calling, visiting and catching up with many of you 💕

02/20/2024

Just a quick note to let everyone know that Devil Dog Depot Equine Sanctuary and Rescue is still present and accounted for ... sound off?!? 🤔

We've decided (as a few other rescues and sanctuaries have as well) that we've got too much to focus on with our mission, the residents and our families to dedicate constant social media presence. Donations have been slim to zilch unless a frenzy is created and we prefer less dramatic approaches.

Rescue is constant stress as it is and not all of it is marketable. Feeding, vetting, etc., is always a financial worry but once the horse is deemed safe from imminent danger and in a rescue's care ... the continued, daily needs and costs are forgotten -- and that part is closing doors on many reputable charities.

Lots of glorified horse flippers are getting rich pulling heartstrings with threats of slaughter. They've dominated all social media platforms. Even with recent, horrible cases of dead and missing horses (and other animals in their care) published in news sources, people are still defending them and others similar.

Real rescues are drying up. The problem will only grow and at the horse's expense.

We will focus more within our community for support and try to make if even a small dent to keep a few horses from going to auction or into the hands of "kill buyers." We will also continue to advocate for change and protection of all horses.

It's hard to be in the present and literally hands on when there's a phone screen glued to your face.

We will always be grateful for any support. If you'd like to donate, it's very much appreciated and needed. But we are not going to beg, lie,cheat or steal for growth.

Music is therapy for me ... as is nature, art, gardening and my horses. Yah, Falling In Reverse gets a bad rap but Ronnie was super nice and very appreciative to his fans. And at 40, who doesn't have a past? His lyrics perfectly describe some of my personal battles. Helps me articulate to others what it feels like to live, sometimes. How hard it is to put on an "ok face" when your very core is so heavy with pain. I can scream with him and let some of it out. Know I'm not alone in these thoughts. Highly recommend his concerts. Sound, voice, pyro, lights -- all were perfect. Not a lot of shows sound just as good as recorded sessions. Authentic talent without a sh*t ton of digital tuning! Of course I don't own the rights to this music. But it was so awesome I had to share!!! Ronnie!!!

Bama saved me from myself the night Juno, his bonded friend, passed. Told her if she passed, I'd be going with her. He watched the entire time but one look ... true concern and plead in his eyes ... he saved me. If you can donate, share our stories and mission to small businesses and companies, spread word about some light in a world of darkness, scam and hurt ... all of us would be so grateful.

🐎 😴 💤 SLEEPY GUNNY 🐎😴 💤 I love watching them sleep so peacefully! She makes some adorable noises toward the end of the video, too! 💕 Gunny was a meat-buyer save. There are only a few people with legal contracts to sell directly to slaughter houses in Mexico and Canada. Meat-buyers help fill up empty spaces in the trailers by selling directly to the kill-buyers with contracts. Horse slaughter ... what a barbaric industry that needs to end. Gunny caught the eye of a wonderful woman out-of-state who was hoping to train the mare for trail riding through canyons. Unfortunately, Gunny's feet weren't pictured on the sale page. She landed at Devil Dog Depot Equine Sanctuary and Rescue to retire and become a therapy horse while we hope to treat her and continue to watch for any signs of lamesness and pain. The woman who pulled her pledged to care for Gunny financially for life ❤️ Gunny's angel sends monthly donations to cover her needs. Wish we had more angels like her. Some months ... she's the only donation that comes in. Help us help them! Help us save more equine and inturn save more humans with much needed therapeutic services. WE NEED YOUR HELP!!!

We are a very small, veteran-operated 501c3 public charity. If we do not get enough funds, my scrawny military retirement has to attempt to cover everything. And it has been rough with rising prices on everything and a shortage of hay and antibiotics. SUPPORT THE UNDER DOGS!!! We do so much for in-danger equine AND the community. Boots on the ground and we are so close to having to close doors. Which hurts me to the core. Huge and impactful plans y
