Dru, I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers also. I cannot imagine what you and Bonnie must be going thru. This world has changed, and it is not the same as it was years ago. People are so greedy, and don’t look at the “family” situation. These banks and mortgage holders only think of the all might buck.

Good luck to you dear.

Dru
Prayers and good thoughts that your mortgage holder will work with you and that you will be able to save your house.

Most of us who are vegan, came to that way of living through a series of experiences in our life’s journey. Tom Regan, Professor Emeritus of Philosophy and most well known and respected vegan, uses the term muddler when asked how he became a vegan. I love it, not only his great discussion in one of his books, but also because it is the best explanation of how I became vegan. I muddled my way here in, as Bonnie says, a step by step process to consciouness of concern and compassion for animals, all animals, but it started, as it does for many of us, with dogs and cats and other domestic “pets”.

Should you want a vegan Christmas or Thanksgiving next year there a lots of full menus and wonderful Vegan Holiday Meal Plans, from down home comforting to urbane gourmet. Just a note so you know there are options.

We will all keep you and your family in our prayers as well as Bonnie and her family that good things and better times with many blessings lie ahead for all of you.

I’ll keep you and your family in my prayers as well. Unfortunately, we are too old and my medical future is too iffy for the “fix” option. We thought it might be, but after speaking with the lawyer, it’s just not.

As for the vegan thing, it’s like I tell everyone when I discuss it with them, even just one day a week makes a HUGE difference for the animals. It’s such a personal choice, and everyone has to make it for themselves. But even just a slow process, which is how I got there, has a positive impact.

I don’t judge others for what they eat. As I said, it’s so personal. I just educate when I can, and tell others about the humane options out there so they can make informed choices. But I love everybody the same, meat eaters or not. It’s what’s in the heart that counts.

Bonnie, my thoughts and prayers are with you during this horrible time in your life. I too feel that the blog is my extended family, which I am grateful for.

Happy Thanksgiving to all and all your furbabies. It is hard to think of all the homeless babies during the holiday season.

Hugs to all, and special hugs to everyones little four leggers.
