I personally cannot tell you how many times we rescuers put our names on animals to come to us as soon as they are eligible for release, only to find they have been senselessly killed by overzealous pound workers.

Turkeys know their names, come when you call, and are totally affectionate. They're better than teenagers.

I've never been married, but I tell people I'm divorced so they won't think something is wrong with me.

We have wild animals in zoos, yet people rarely meet their 'food' face to face.

My belief is that guns are too easy to get in America. My belief is that the NRA has bought much of our congress, to the point that guns are actually the only unregulated consumer product in America. Think about that. It's stunning.

I have always put my own money into Tails of Joy. For years, every time a dog walked by, my husband would say, 'There goes our beach house.'
