Newest Nikita's Wish foster.........







This boy was with another "supposed rescue" but the lady kept him for a month with constant diarrhea and never took him to the vet but instead asked her niece to take him to have him euthanized! He is a good 50 lbs underweight ....35" at the shoulder and a mere 93#.

Do I hate people?

Well, years ago I liked people and enjoyed working with them but then I began to see how dishonest, ignorant and lacking in compassion they were and I began to hate them.

While volunteering as an animal rescuer over the past 8 years I have come across some really crazy animals. Biting animals, peeing animals, unpredictable, distrusting, etc. and have each time had compassion and understanding...realizing that these animals are the product of their environments.

Why am I saying all of this....well, this week, the people hater that I have become started a new job.....at a hospital and found myself liking my job though my fat body hurts from all the bending and more than once I have come home teary-eyed from the pain I still actually like the job...why...the people! PEOPLE???? Yep. I like walking into a room to get a person's trash and smiling at them in their time of great need. To pray for them as I walk out...for God to bless them and their families and give them the kind of peace that only he can.

So in conclusion I have now determined, that, I , in fact, do not hate people but instead I hate lack of compassion and ignorance and finally realize that people, like animals, are also the products of their environments and are not born lying jerks....they become that way because they were taught ignorance and lack of compassion and if I hate them than I too lack compassion and I too am ignorant. So, as a way to not hate myself, I hereby withdraw my statement that, "I hate people".

The End!
