Stop The Dog & Cat Meat Trade – Why Is Toronto Marching

Stop The Dog & Cat Meat Trade – Why Is Toronto Marching. We are highlighting the barbaric dog and cat trade around the world on April 4, 2015. This trade is often illegal – inhumane and savage. The willful and intense torture of these animals – done with a casual attitude and in the name of cultural tradition – is wrong and must be addressed and stopped. There is a belief that the more an animal suffers as it dies – the more tender and delicious the meat will be!

ABH – Inspirational Sayings – If there is one thing that I know – it’s that all people who love animals have their hearts nicked or broken every day. But then we focus on the task at hand – which is creating awareness to help them – and get back to doing the job that stirs our passions and helps to correct human wrongs!

Night Will Fall – Dawn Will Break

Night Will Fall – Dawn Will Break

Night Will Fall – Dawn Will Break – there are so many unknowns in life that it is very satisfying and reassuring to remember that this constant is part of our daily routine. When we awaken in the morning we have 24 hours ahead of us. Some of this time will be devoted to work – leisure – meals – travel – family responsibilities and sleeping. What will you do with the 2 or 3 hours that belong to you?

A Meddling Busy Body – On January 18, 2015 – late evening – I saw a photograph of the recent massacre of Nigerian villagers by radical extremists. It has been said that over 2000 innocent people were slaughtered in an orgy of rage and hatred. Apparently 80 to 100 more men – women and children were also kidnapped in the following days. The extremists have promised more death and destruction.

Saying Good-Bye

Short Stories From 10 Years Ago – December 31, 2004 – In my lifetime, I’ve said good-bye without a backward glance or a twinge of regret. I’ve said good-bye in a muddle of confusion and with an aching heart. I was blessed to be able to say good-bye to my brother Mike, my Mother and my Father, as I stood beside their coffins and quietly said the 23^rd Psalm in their honour.

Almost There

Short Stories From 10 Years Ago – December 30, 2004 – I have two little stories left to write – this being one of them. Tomorrow night my keyboard will be eerily silent. I will have fulfilled my personal commitment to write “367 Little Stories From An Everyday Life”. I’m in a pinch-me “state of mind” – the heck with New York – this is Toronto.

Goozo

Short Stories From 10 Years Ago – December 29, 2004 – I was three years old when I chopped my long dark hair off. My father’s barber trimmed what was left of it into a very short pixie cut. It was also the year I wore my chocolate brown, velvet snow suit for one hour every day. I think I was a fairly typical kid – full of beans and imagination. Like many children I had an imaginary friend whose name was Goozo. She came in handy because I blamed Goozo for all the naughty things I did.
