The Pet Connection

Volunteering is good for the Soul.  I have the natural tendencies to help others.  I have found that people I “think” needs help, wants it. But, I painfully find out they do not want it. Rather like the boy scout who thinks that little old lady needs help crossing the road and she hits him over the head to leave her alone.  Then there are people who want help constantly, you give it to them, and the “wants” becomes never ending.  I will not give up on helping others.  I am learning to redirect my energy and give help to where my passion is.   I found a place where I can give help, a place that is not number 1 on most people’s list of help.  Ever since I helped rescue some kittens from an alley a year or so ago, I knew what I could do to help society.  I finally found the right fit for me, The Pet Connection in Mission, Ks.  It is a no kill and cageless facility.  www.thepetconnection.net   From the first time I walked in, I was hooked.  There are cats roaming around, playing, and greeting visitors.  There are some small rooms where older cats or special needs cats are.  Each room has a window where the cats can look outside.  Each space has chairs, sofas and it is just like living in a home!  You go thru a door and you are in the dog area.  Each dog has their own living space. These dogs had been rescued from another animal shelter and have had a successful placement of 4 to 6 weeks to their new “forever’ home.  I have found my “forever” place to help. 

 

The most important thing we can give is giving of ourselves to help others.  There is so much need out there, that we surely will not be bumping into each other in giving support.  It can be just a can of food, donating money, donating our time.  There is a place and cause for each and every one of us to help.

Summer Cooking Ideas
Love to cook out, or, just some "Cooling food" ideas?
- Summer Burgers are oh so good.  Use ground turkey, beef, chicken.  Stuff them with a surprise ingredient.  Instead of the bun, use a flour tortilla.
- Hot Dogs are the best in my book!  Love them burnt to a crisp.  Chicken and Turkey hot dogs are great and lower in calories.  Again, instead of a bun, use a flour tortilla.
