An afternnon with Nebraska cattle and corn
Tonight I sit in a warm Nebraska house thinking back on my interesting day. I spent the morning in a bridal shop with my sister-in-law and the afternoon in a combine picking corn. That is not typical for a city diva like me! Normally I spend my days making Web sites for physicians and hospitals so this...

On my way to cattle country
I am sitting at the airport on my way to Nebraska – land of cows and corn. My husband has family there so every year about this time we head east to immerse ourselves in farm life. Four of my brother-in-laws are farmers. They raise corn, soy beans and cattle. Of course since I am vegan this provides...

Pit Bulls and Beef Bulls
It’s no secret that I love the pit bulls. Not too many years ago I was like most people, I didn’t know much about them other than what the media had to say. Well then I took in a stray pit bull and I was hooked after that. What a sweet, loving and loyal breed! And there are just so darn many...

Humane Veal Production, WHAT?
I was recently reading a copy of Arizona Veterinary News. It’s a publication for veterinarians here in Arizona. I love many veterinarians. I have four dogs so we visit vets often. My brother and sister-in-law are vets. They help a lot of animals and save lives every day.
But there are also vets...

Premarin Horses vs. Food Animals
Today my friends and I were talking about Premarin, a drug used to menopause symptoms. I knew in the back of my mind that the production of Premarin involves torture for many horses but I wasn’t sure on the details. So today I looked it up. And do you know what? They’re treated just like...

Are Farm Animals the Same as House Animals?
Today I had the great fortune of attending the Farm Sanctuary walk for animals. It was so fun …. but I have to say I was very disappointed by the turn out. Where are all the animal-loving vegans out there? Apparently there aren’t many. Now when we have an event for the dog and cat rescue,...
What to do when the meat-eating family comes to town
What is a vegan to do when the meat-eating family comes to town? Every time I get together with my family, my mom gives me the hardest time about not eating meat. Despite the fact that I have been vegetarian for over 5 years, I think she believes I’m going to die or something if I don’t ingest...
