Rolling A great deal of change has happened since the last post on this site.
One thing hasn’t changed: Pets are still the best!
I’ve moved on from working with the people side of pet medicine to spending more time with my own dog and helping a cat rescue to grow and prosper.

Honey is definitely happier with the arrangement, as am I. She gets more treats all day long. She digs in the snow in the few daylight hours we have this time of year. She rolls in the grass when she can get away with it.

The cat rescue has been moving right along since I joined as the only employee. We’ve recruited volunteers, adopted most of our cats, and started to get more organized. It makes me wonder how many rescue organizations avoid implementing systems to measure success and make informed decisions. I am participating in the HSU online course Measuring Effectiveness for the next couple of weeks.
Honey will be celebrating her 9th birthday on February 20th.

Here’s to 2009, and to you the readers: May you be fortunate enough to happily spend time with your pets.
Now let us all learn from the rolling dog. Do what you love. Even if it makes you a stinker.
