Judge Molloy Comes Through for Wolves!

“This just in…” to quote a newsman: the courts, via Judge Molloy in Missoula, issued a ruling late this afternoon that wolves must be PUT BACK ON THE ENDANGERED SPECIES LIST. This due to superb legal work of EarthJustice and attorney Doug Honnold.

Do a search on Google to find more… but for now, they are safe again.  A GREAT DAY for wolves and for EarthJustice. 

Howl on!!!!!!!!!!!

For the Love of Goats

I met this goat a few years ago; she’d just given birth to the most precious little babies; we volunteered to bottle feed them for a few days. She had a LOT to say; here we are saying goodbye.  

 

I think goats are horribly underrated as companions. When I worked at a famous author’s barn I visited the horses he boarded after work each night; one was so terribly afraid of being alone he would rear up in his paddock, pace back and forth and wsa generally miserable… until they added a goat into his paddock who was named… Billy.

This goat and this horse bonded so intensely and within a day, the horse was completely chilled out. However, every show the horse went to, along went Billy, too. Seemed that the horse performed better when Billy was along for the ride.

Inter-species bonding… always fascinating. I loved those two together.

What is Ecopsychology and Why Should I Care?

There is a wonderful book called…. Ecopsychology. Published awhile ago. Lots of different articles. But it is so rich and filled with well-reasoned pieces about the connection between the natural world and our mental health.  Or lack thereof.

Check it out.
