As the school year begins, remind your kids: Kindness isn't optional. The kid with old shoes, the kid who eats alone, the kid who's quiet, your words can either heal or harm. Teach them to choose healing. #BeKind #ChooseHealing

Lesli Barrett (@calithemali.bsky.social) reply parent
Thank you for finding it!❤️
Lesli Barrett (@calithemali.bsky.social) reply parent
That was my goal. I didn't see it on Penny's page, I saw it on the Lucky Pup one.
Lesli Barrett (@calithemali.bsky.social) reply parent
Oh, I missed it on her page. OK, thanks for clarifying. I was trying to help and wanted to make sure she got credit. Thank you 🤗
Lesli Barrett (@calithemali.bsky.social) reply parent
OK, glad to hear it. If you need anything please let me know.
Lesli Barrett (@calithemali.bsky.social) reply parent
Penny Lane, I thought I donated to you but didn't see it so checked the site. Apparently my donation went to Lucky Pup directly and not you. How can you get credit?
Lesli Barrett (@calithemali.bsky.social) reply parent
Do you need anything? Do you have an Amazon wishlist for incidentals since you can't get out much? Maybe door dash cards?

I wish! The lady did get charged with animal cruelty and is forbidden from ever owning pets again, but I'm sure in reality, nobody monitors these awful folks.

Lesli Barrett (@calithemali.bsky.social) reply parent
Yes, so happy for her. We rescued her from a lady who kept her chained to a wall & had bred her every heat since 8 mos of age 💔🤬😭 We're so proud of her transformation. We gave her a year to decompress and just be a house pet. But she loves people, so getting to cuddle all day is a pretty good job!
Lesli Barrett (@calithemali.bsky.social) reply parent
In a way. We train Wellness/Comfort K9's and donate to Police Departments. She will be a Police K9, just a cuddle dog, not a bitey one. Our dogs provide a valuable emotional support services to officers and crime victims alike.
Lesli Barrett (@calithemali.bsky.social) reply parent
We're so excited. They have to officially create a position for her but it's a magical pairing
Lesli Barrett (@calithemali.bsky.social) reply parent

Right? Poor girl! I never heard of that. She lived here for a year while we did her Service Dog training and my goodness did she make noise with her tail when she was excited but I didn't know dogs could hurt their tail tips.😭

Thank you for educating about the damage these rock structures do to the environment. Education helps so much more than hurling insults at the unknowing who share out of ignorance.

Song Sparrow today. So happy to see them. There is always three or four here all winter, but they have never chosen to nest nearby or have juveniles in my yard during summer. #Birds This one is at the mini pond. She’s looking for insects or seeds and then she sits on a little stick.
