The ASPCA Challenge: It’s All About Adoption

I adopted all three of my animals (a dog and two cats) at shelters, including “the county pound.” They are the most wonderful creatures  – all happy and healthy and well adjusted. And they are so funny and entertaining!

Summer is difficult for shelter animals because there are SO MANY animals who need homes. Plus the kids are out of school and will have more time to spend with a new pet! It is a win win situation for everyone!

Ann Frank, Hope and Teens

Today would have been Ann Frank’s 84th birthday. I never realized until today that she was born the same year as my mom. If she’d lived she might be attending her granddaughter’s 8th grade graduation today, just like my mom. Her private writing inspired so many kids to look at themselves and look at history. And it inspired people to look at teens and listen to their words. Often it is the teens who can see through it all without the clouds of preconceived dust in the way – they can still see the potential for good in mankind.

On June 15, 1944, about six weeks before her family was found out, Anne Frank wrote, “It’s a wonder I haven’t abandoned all my ideals, they seem so absurd and impractical. Yet I cling to them because I still believe, in spite of everything, that people are truly good at heart.”
