Your positive, one person action on behalf of others creates ripple effects, inspiring others as Ashley does with her rescue and writing, as Kristine does sharing Shiva with us and inviting us to help her help other dog parents with questions, as Alexsandra and her husband do by fostering one lovely dog at a time....Real change is not made by committee; it is made by the heart. One of the most inspiring films I have ever watched (and re-watched) is "Apollo 13." Men could very easily have been lost but the challenge was laid down to those in the trenches, who dealt with space and its quirks on a daily basis. With slide rules, commitment and passion, the men of Apollo 13 were saved. Each time you foster, rescue, adopt, donate, volunteer, you touch lives far beyond your own. Thank you, Ashley, for writing far more clearly than I what is needed - BAM! I think of my friend Alice, who celebrates this Saturday the 6 years of Safe Harbor Animal Sanctuary in Jackson, MO. She will NOT let any of her animals down - ever. Much like Ashley :).Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17445732008559186410noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1014799856432085038.post-71040594870888739952011-07-20T16:09:47.785-05:002011-07-20T16:09:47.785-05:00Never believe that a few caring people can't c...Never believe that a few caring people can't change the world.

They need reminders of how the small sacrifices really accumulate and that not everyone is expected to accomplish the identical results ---- but, do something! Find pro bono attorneys to assist with legal aid; email prosecutors & legislators to enforce and promote equitable, compassionate laws; have a bake sale or a tag sale and donate the money. Telephone and voice opinions and solutions. Little things do matter - all these furry angels matter. Listen to your hearts! We have six rescued/adopted dachshunds and wish it could be sixty ----- but it is what it is, six that never have to worry about anything or any monster again. Six in a furever home, off the streets and out of the puppy mill prisons. We volunteer for a rescue group, we donate, we email, we write letters, we phone & sign petitions. PLEASE help us help the helpless.....Dox Momhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09200374996240739122noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1014799856432085038.post-28873610110146142472011-07-20T10:21:38.972-05:002011-07-20T10:21:38.972-05:00Just the words I needed.

But I keep trying to assure myself that even the small steps count. I may not be able to save or change the things I despise (regarding people who abuse animals), but I have to keep telling myself that even baby steps count. Enough baby steps may lead to something bigger. Thank you for being a catalyst for people like me who can become discouraged easily. I know I will never be able to do as much as you do Ashley, but I will also never give up doing what I can for animals. "Saving The World, One Dog At A Time" is my new mantra!!!
