LOST AND FOUND

This doggy sat on my porch on July 21st, 2009 at 11pm.

I kept him for the night. Great dog.

Beautiful, Black German Shepard Mix.

My dad named it "El Perrito Negro de las Noches en el East de Hialeah con la Familia Fernandez."

Turns out he was the vet's neighbor's dog! "Twice a day he visits," they said.

One more! and it feels awesome!

Deep Ecology

Here is an excerpt of a worthy read. It is an interview with Michael Zimmerman, a philosophy professor, spreading the word about Deep Ecology.

"Alan: Will the new ideology be deep ecology?

Michael: Who knows? Deep ecology claims we need a wider identification with nature. Now, why would we even hope for such a transformation? To hope for it means to believe in the possibility of human evolution, and that, I think, is where deep ecology comes into connection with the Enlightenment and with social ecology.
For all its problems, there was a liberatory dimension to the Enlightenment which is part of the American experience, and I think American environmentalists need to tap into that. We don't need to reject science and the Enlightenment and American political values. We need to understand more deeply what the roots of those values are. The ideal of freedom is a radically important idea in human history. The idea that each individual person is deserving of respect, is deserving of right treatment, is deserving of consideration, should not be made a slave, should not be exploited - these are incredibly novel ideas in human history. These ideas have to be preserved if we're to take any further steps. We can't happily expect to treat the natural world appropriately if we don't even treat other human beings appropriately."

A Success Story

So if you were to scroll down to the very first entry of this blog, you would find a tiny dog, of whom I rescued, in need of a home. I named her Dakota. Stray. Rescued. and now Loved. She found a happy home!

My good friend, and fellow dog rescuer helped me with this dog. Thank you.

Email from Diana:

"We found a fantastic home for your little girl-these people were meant for her and she was meant for them. They have a 6 yr old little girl who just fell in love with her—thanks to you she is alive and so happy-they were taking her straight to their Vet—I will show you pictures Wed. when you come-thank you and see you then. Diana"

What a good feeling.
