I’m from Canada & live on the largest west coast island. I have a wonderful miniature schnauzer, Storm, who keeps me busy. I love flatbed machine knitting, hand knitting, reading, camping & genealogy. I collect vintage Christmas🎄, mostly 1950-60s 😀
Can anyone help? Jaspa’s human sister needs to have her tooth looked at but they don’t have enough money to do that. The room is only paid for a while longer. Even a little bit will help. Please see Jaspa’s page for ways to donate. Thank you!

Our friends need some help to stay in safe housing. If you can help, they have a GoFundMe, a Ko-fi and a PayPal-see Jaspa’s page for more info. Sharing this helps too. Let’s make this a happy Christmas for them ❤️

I’d love if you could help broadcast to a wider audience. A small sampling below:

Can you help our friends stay in safe shelter? Every unexpected expense (new tire punctured and unfixable after buying all new tires recently), decreases the amount they have to pay for shelter. GoFundMe on the page. Sharing this helps too ♥️

The censorship algorithm on Twitter reduced our audience by roughly 95%, and seriously, who does that to a wildlife biology & advocacy group ?
So we moved 😇 over here to BlueSky

My Inca enjoying sniffing the autumn leaves on her last camping trip. She was blind but loved being where she could smell the scents.
