God are dogs wonderful

All you pet parents in the 518 area…if u r planning on a trip or weekend away or if you simply want your dog walked or cat fed, please know I am available for such service. I’ve been taking care of animals since grad school when I ff and played with another student’s chinchilla. Then it was on to a huge box turtle who ate quiche from my hand and eventually I developed a series of dogs and cats whom I cared for, for up to ten nights at a time.. I recently returned from Peru, where I spent a month volunteering at a zoo and loved every minute of it! And since last spring I’ve been working under the auspices of the Troy, NY city government in planning a dog park for our town. ( Next I want to introduce a cat cafe, just to keep things equal)!
Please get in touch with me for your pets’ needs. I love animals!
Bonnie

PS And remember, having earned an under grad degree in photojournalism at BU, I take lots of pictures of my charges and can make prints for their families.

I mean, does anyone still think that animals are really beneath us on the evolutionary scale? Compare her behavior to that of the Jan. 6th imbeciles.

A fisherman spotted her just east of the Faralon Islands (outside the Golden Gate) and radioed for help. Within a few hours, the rescue team arrived and determined that she was so badly off, the only way to save her was to dive in and untangle her…. a very dangerous proposition. One slap of the tail could kill a rescuer.
They worked for hours with curved knives and eventually freed her. When she was free, the divers say she swam in what seemed like joyous circles. She then came back to each and every diver, one at a time, nudged them, and pushed gently, thanking them. Some said it was the most incredibly beautiful experience of their lives.
The guy who cut the rope out of her mouth says her eye was following him the whole time, and he will never be the same.
May you be so fortunate to be surrounded by people who will help you get untangled from the things that are binding you.
And, may you always know the joy of giving and receiving gratitude 🙏

Unbelievably beautiful, wish I’d taken it, if only to be so close to such a majestic animal.

Hold still. 🤣

For all of you in New York (or even if you're not in state but are a caring individual) please forward this request to the govenor about prohibiting the slaughter of horses in New York state. It's mind boggling what is allowed to occur to these gorgeous, wonderful animals, when they are judged to no longer have the qualities that make greedy humans a profit. Animals are NOT on this earth to entertain or amuse us, even though we have treated them accordingly for thousands of years. They deserve to live in freedom and dignity, the way people are supposed to. The difference is people can revolt, while animals must simply succumb. It's sickening. Anything you can do, politically or financially, to help the cause of animal welfare is so appreciated. It really makes a difference. Thank you!

Urgent! It Needs Our Voices to Get Passed     Urge Gov. Hochul to Sign Bill to End Horse Slaughter August 25, 2023   Dear NYSHA Members and Supporters: Please make a moment to contact Gov. Hochul. Ask

Native Americans had and have the most beautiful cultures, which we ( White interlopers) succeeded in stamping out. I think the incredible tragedy we brought to the multifarious tribes, who worshipped the earth and the animals upon it, far superseds the horrors we inflicted on any other group.

Congratulations on your 70th birthday

Just some random photos I’ve taken ( I haven’t given up photography even though I’ve been spending most of my waking hours working on the creation of the “Bark Park”” here in Troy, NY). Some are pics of things I’ve made, others are what others have made, and others are just of others.

The solo captivity of elephants, who are truly social creatures, kept apart from their mothers or babies, for the sole entertainment of humans is despicable and must end. These animals can live a long, long time, many of them in isolated cages without the feeling of grass underfoot or sunshine on their backs. It’s hard for me to imagine the degree of cruelty present in their handlers and zoo officials, who know better, to deny them their essential freedom for the benefit of the all mighty dollar. People with a shred of compassion should rise up in unity and demand these poor, innocent animals are freed from their captivity. And of course, it’s not just elephants..

When you look at this image, what do you see?

We see trauma.

Fear.

Longing for their mothers, who are not there (and have possibly been killed), so any physical contact will do.

We see human entitlement.

We see an end to their lives as elephants and the beginning of their lives on display.

We believe one of the elephants in this photo is Patty, who, a century later, remains in captivity in the Bronx Zoo's “Wild Asia Monorail” elephant exhibit. In her time there, she lost her son before his second birthday, all her elephant companions, and of course, her freedom, all to stand on a patch of dirt for 50 years while the monorail cars pass by and a tour guide shares basic facts about elephants.

Elephants are deeply social beings who form lifelong bonds and need herds to thrive. Studies show captive elephants experience brain damage because they’re confined to small, barren environments. In sanctuaries, elephants with traumatic histories can heal and thrive, regaining their peace, dignity, and freedom to roam after years of being on display.

The story of Happy, the other elephant held alone in captivity in the Bronx Zoo, is well known because of our historic court case on her behalf (filed at a time when she was the only elephant held alone in the exhibit). Patty's is less well known. Please help us create an by sharing Patty's story, and stay tuned for updates on , a new bill that would end elephant captivity in New York City for good. ⚖️🙌
