  • Dr Jane Goodall and Wounda

    Akmar shared this: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2557961/Thanks-The-touching-moment-chimp-nursed-health-hugs-carer.html As the door to Wounda’s box is opened, she scampers around but stays close to her human caregivers. She stands on top of her box and sits down to take in her new surroundings. Then, without thinking, she turns and hugs Dr. Goodall in a moving moment of tenderness between human and…

    Take a look: http://www.viralnova.com/touching-dog-comic/ Call it whatever you like, but animals have this wonderful ability to accept their destiny and live with it.

We will not and should not judge. As long our decisions come from a place of wisdom and compassion, that…

  • “Climb that tree, please, and you shall be judged…”

    Jasmine Ong shared this:   Sound advice, not only for parents, child-minders and teachers (especially those who love to compare one child with another), but also for pet owners and animal caregivers. No two animals are the same, even if they come from the same species or even the same family. Take for example: Cat…
