I have an ecclectic background with varied interests. I love both the sciences and arts, and have backgrounds and talents in both. I am devoted to my non human companions that usually consist of several cats, both in my house and strays I take care of, and one little dog and a dwarf bunny. Love to garden, do things outside, write, draw, paint, and make anything artistic. I am gay and wish I could meet more gay vegetarians but there doesn't seem to be a lot out there. More later.

(Perky, with glowing devil dog eyes)Hi Ya Richard,
How are you doing? I have been a stranger here at Veg Haven I'm afraid...I have been very busy with the petition group/groups for one thing (and you know how they keep multiplying). I recently had to unsubscribe to some of the newsletters so that I would have some free computer time to email friends and family.
I just realized I never replied back to your last comment to me almost a year ago...I remember reading your comment and thinking how sad it was that your mother was killed in a car crash and I meant to comment back when I had more time, but then never did. (Sorry!) It sure must have been hard on you, your dad and the rest of your family to loose your mom in a car crash.
Thank you for nice comments about my pics of Minnie and Perky...Minnie is still with me, but I had to have Perky euthanized a couple of years ago due to a tumor on his head that was growing into his inner ear. He was 11 years old at the time...I have another younger chi now named Foxy...Foxy is a very affectionate little guy and he loves a few of our neighbor friends so much he goes up and hugs their legs when he sees them. But he does not take to strangers right away and he dislikes dogs that are bigger than he is. It's hard for me to get Foxy to stop barking when he sees dogs that he doesn't know...I'll have to get batteries for my digital camera so I can share a picture of my "mighty little Fox."
Dian Fossey sure is a famous name, especially to animal lovers...I have enjoyed seeing Dian's documentaries over the years, but I have never read Farley Mowatt's book on Dian, "Woman in the Mists,"--(I am not much of a reader) but I will have to read that book someday.
My older dog Minnie, is now over 14 years old, but she is doing quite well for her age. But if that time comes when she is no longer able to enjoy life, I know I will make the right decision for her and have her euthanized so that she will not have to suffer.
I hope are doing well and that the weather in your area is not too bad yet...Our weather here in the Portland, OR area has been pretty mild so far, but soon we will be having the usual winter rain, rain, and more rain, and lots of cold icy wind too.
I hope to hear from you sometime when you have time to write me a few lines.
Many Blessings,
Tia-Lisa
Like you I was there when they died and felt that they didn´t want to leave. They both left deep footprints in my heart :)

We’re dropping a line to all our VegHaven friends
If you haven’t done so already would you please take a look at this VegHaven Group!!!!
We’d like to add a 1,000 signatures to all these petitions , which have taken a long time to get together. Please consider joining and helping these petitions help the animals in the New Year.
Kindest Regards
Darren
Since my 13 year old granddaughter is visiting I have asked her to help me add the pics of Minnie and Perky sunbathing so you could see them.

I hope you had a wonderful Christmas! I meant to reply back to you sooner, but I've been super busy because of the holidays.
I'm so sorry your first dog was hit and killed by a car too. That must have been very traumatic, and you were even younger than I was at the time.
I really like your page, you have done a great job! I meant to tell you that I love that pic of you with Digit. I have always loved to watch stories or documentaries about monkeys and apes...I remember know I have seen Digit before, but that was quite awhile back.
It sure sounds like Root had many challenges (poor baby) but the important thing was that he knew that he was loved...Your mention of Root basking in the sun brought bitter-sweet memories to my mind... My older chis, Minnie and Perky, use to love to sun-bath together in our back yard...I had to have Perky (my chocolate male) euthanized a little over a year ago, due to a tumor on his head that went to his inner ear (he was 11 years old at the time)...I tried to upload a pic of Minnie and Perky sun-bathing (here) but I couldn't figure out how to do it.
I'm glad that you have Dugan and he has you. What breed and size is Dugan's buddy, Lenny?...I have had many chis in my life (I have rescued and adopted some of my chis)...Some chis act aggressive, mainly towards larger dogs (especially the more aggressive breeds) but this is usually a bluff... Being so small, chis can be killed by larger dogs, and I think it is a survival instinct for them to bark and even charge towards a dog (or a person) they percieve to be a potential threat.
37 inches of snow, WOW. and I thought all the cold wind and rain here in not so sunny OR was bad during the winter. I am a native of southern CA.
Wishing you many Blessing in the coming New Year!

Merry Christmas and a Grand New Year.

My first and only dogs, when I was a child, were Chis,-- we had 3 of them. Sadly my favorite dog (the one that slept with me) was run over and killed by a car (right in front of me) which was extremely traumatic at age 11 (or any age).
A Chi-Italian Greyhound combo, WOW! I love both breeds! I bet he or she is (or was) very smart and very fast...I took care of my daughter's whippet at one time while she worked and he reminded me of a high strung race horse.-- He use to shake all over at times because he wanted to "cut loose" so bad. When we were able to let him run, it was awesome to watch him, it was like watching a cheeta run...Is (or was) your Chi, Italian Greyhound mix your "late" dog Roots ?
My senior Chi "Perky" passed to spirit less than 2 years ago...I will have to post my Chi pics sometime soon.
If my dogs were to give Dugan a message, Foxy (my young dog) would say,"lets play," and Minnie (who is 13 years old) would say, "just let me sleep, and wake me when it's chow time" (LOL)
Happy Holidays!
