I live on the top of a mountain, on the ocean, in New Zealand. Every morning begins with the deafening screech of the peacock, followed by the parade of guinea fowl, chooks, tui birds, a great dane, a cockeyed rooster, a toddler, and 2 cats. In that order. With the mandatory cup of coffee in hand, I am reminded every morning how necessary animals are to a healthy, loving, heart. And as we are pulled away from one another to engage with a screen of any sort, our animals are governed with the task to keep us present to one another. To demand we feel. To try to maintain and remember our humanity where it's all too easy to hide away. I'm available for your pet. Thank you.
