even V, had been down with cold. Over the phone a few days ago, her voice quivered at the hurt of a temporal illness, and perhaps, from years-accumulated jadedness and exhaustion being on the road feeding her animals.
I wonder at 4am, when most of us are sound asleep in the crook of home comfort, who will be thinking about V driving in the quiet, and hurling bags of food to our strays?
Only the dogs that sense her coming will awake -- in darkness -- to the only person they call "benefactor" or "saviour"; only they will know, truly, the kindness V has for them.
Even if their existence on the streets, the farm, in the woods, are barely six months, or a few years, I guess the only human they can ever relate to is V.
For to be free is not merely to cast off one's chains, but to live in a way that respects and enhances the freedom of others.

Guardians for Junior & Ginne
Junior and Ginne were heartlessly abandoned by their owners, who unfortunately could not be charged with pet abandonment due to lack of needed evidence. It is nothing short of a miracle that they were found 7 days later around the vicinity where they were discarded.
Be their Guardian as they now safely live at a dog shelter while awaiting their permanent home. To sponsor Junior or Ginne's monthly boarding fee, please email us. Thank you.

This is so sad! What will happen when V passed on - a real but scary question to think about. I strongly feel that we need to increase our share of voice to the authorities to look into allowing managed strays in this country. We need to help the public understanding that they need to be given the right to live. Praying for God's blessing on V.
Yes, i often worry what will happen when kind-hearted souls like V pass on or fall sick and unable to go on their rounds? I feel so sorry for the animals who will just keep waiting and wondering why the only person who ever cares about them do not turn up anymore? I know it's negative thinking but sometimes I can't help it. Just like a few yrs back, i heard of someone's dad who was knocked down in an accident while feeding the community cats and passed away. I kept thinking about the cats who will wait day after day for the kind man who can't turn up anymore...
Is it possible to set up a group of care-takers to continue this meaningful mission? ~~gL
Thanks for your comments all. Such is the case and at times, with human politics among caregivers, these feeders function pretty much separately. Lamentable but true. They can't just keep doing this all their lives, we need better laws that support them.
