Did you know that livestock production accounts for between 14% and 18% of greenhouse gas emissions globally? That is more than cars and vans!
Between that and the intensive animal agricultural practices involved, livestock production and factory farming are harming animals and our shared planet.

I am so excited for this business venture. It aligns so well with the future we want to build on our rural property. To share this space with dogs and take such good care of them that it feels like a second home to them 💖

Bats found in buildings cannot be placed outside during late fall to early spring. They should be in a state of torpor, if awake, they likely need help.
Contain the battle in a pillowcase, place in a cardboard box and contact a local wildlife rehabber.
Please DO NOT put them outside!

Virginia Opossum's have a hard time in the cold Ontario Winters. Luckily for this little one he was brought to Foster Forest Wildlife where he is being rehydrated, and slowly fed easily digested nutrition to avoid "refeeding" syndrome.

Grieving your parents is supposed to be a natural life experience. Yet it hurts so deeply. I find myself looking for messages from them everywhere. I fight the reality that they are gone. Grief bursts are intense. Can I adapt?
