It’s my bi-annual report on the animals fostered here at Infinity Farm. I try to balance on a tightrope when I write about rescue. I want to encourage people to adopt and at the same time, not get too romantic about it. I know with bloody certainty than I can’t save them all. I just think that the value of animals in our world is worth our inconvenience.

I really enjoyed that post. I’m going to pass it on to someone I know who does rescues. I know that my darling Dixie Rose still suffers from some psychic traumas from her first months of life — it’s hard to be patient sometime, but there are rewards.

Thanks Linda. I’m a great follower of Anna and her wonderful work and her writing is fabulous! Yesterday I did a beach walk with a woman who had two rescue dogs with her and we talked about the process of rehabilitation. Great dogs and Fred really enjoyed their company. Looking forward to catching up on your writing too!
