*PEACE* Never forget those lost!

Our lives begin to end the day we become silent about things that matter. ~Martin Luther King Jr.~

About Me

There is an Indian legend which says:"When a human dies there is a bridge they must cross to enter into heaven. At the head of that bridge waits every animal that human encountered during their lifetime.The animals, based upon what they know of this person, decide which humans may cross the bridge...and which are turned away.""What lies behind us, and what lies before us are but tiny matters compared to what lies within us..." ~Unknown~I'm not good at talking about myself, we don't see in ourselves what others see in us, good or bad. I can say that I am a loyal friend. If I say I'm going to do something then I do it and if something happens I can't then at least an explanation of why. I LOVE animals and try to do what I can when I can. I believe there's a spiritual and emotional connection between animals and humans that has the ability to save lives. Educate yourself...Educate others. If we all do SOMETHING...we could accomplish miracles, save lives and change the world all at the same time!!! I try to always stand up for what I believe to be right and if I happen to be wrong, I will be the first to admit it. I'm just trying to live my life by the GOLDEN RULE...TREAT OTHERS AS YOU WOULD HAVE THEM TREAT YOU!!!! My simple 4 rules to live by....manners, respect, compassion and simple kindness!! I'm an open book with nothig to hide so if there's something you would like to know JUST ASK!!!! (If your looking to get to know me on a personal level, you can take a look at my PERSONAL page, the first on my friends list)“All the arguments to prove man's superiority cannot shatter this hard fact: in suffering the animals are our equals.” ~unknown~

"Once you begin to acknowledge random acts of kindness--both the ones you have received and the ones you have given--you can no longer believe that what you do does not matter." Author:Dawna Markova"The recipe for beauty is to have less illusion and more Soul, to retreat from the belief of pain or pleasure in the body into the unchanging calm and glorious freedom of spiritual harmony." ~Mary Baker Eddy"Wisdom is knowing when to help and when not to. Often, the most loving thing you can do for people is to stand by while they learn their lessons. If you come in and act as their saviour, you may take away the lessons and growth they were getting out of that situation. Then they will have to create it all over again. It may feel hard to be wise, for often it is easier to jump in and rescue people than stand by and watch them go through difficult and sometimes painful lessons; be there for them, listen to them, love and support them, but don't hinder their progress Love & light." (ANGEL LOVE)"A righteous man regards the life of his animals." ~Proverbs 12:10~WITH MY EYESMy prayer tonight is for all who lie down in chains and cages.Alone and afraid on a concrete floor Soundless screams lost beneath the clang of metal Locked in rooms most will never see.I feel their fear arise in my soul Ancient yet new... A primal flame burning against the walls of my heart.I want to scream an endless note, Loud and true:Clubbed. Forgotten. Dismembered. Forgotten. Gassed. Forgotten. Beaten. Forgotten. Burned. Forgotten. Electrocuted. Forgotten. Abandoned. Forgotten. Poisoned. Forgotten. Skinned. Forgotten. Shot. Forgotten. Caged. Forgotten. Shackled. Forgotten. Murdered. Forgotten.And with my eyes, they will be seen. With my voice, they will be heard. With my hands, they will know comfort. With my action, they will be free.Dear God, fill their oppressors with mercy and empathy. Dear God, instill compassion where there is apathy. Replace horror with grace. Bloodshed with healing.Restore all humans and animals to their natural place. Liberate all humans and animals from greed, violence and hate.So that tonight and evermore, ALL may lie down to sleep unchained, uncaged, free.AMENby Brenda Shoss“Nobody is allowed to close his or her eyes and pretend they cannot see the suffering, nobody can relieve themselves of the weight of responsibility- when an animal is badly treated; when the cry of animals dying of thirst in transport reaches no one; when slaughterhouses are filled with so much cruelty; when animals die in pain for our dinner plates; when animals suffer because of ruthless people we should all be blamed…. Respect for life requires us all to seek opportunities to help animals in every possible way, knowing as we do the scale of evil caused to animals” ~Albert Schweitzer.~Mercy's Rainbow Bridge by Maria Daines

|RUDE people, People who say they want real then want something off the cover of a magazine. People who think that adding friends to their list is a popularity contest, LIARS...if you can't speak the truth then don't speak at all. Men who beat their wives, fathers that beat their children, people that hurt the sick or weak and anyone that could possibly hurt animals...what a waste of a human body. People who like to play games instead of being upfront and real, hipocats, people who judge a book by the cover without reading the pages in between...that's where the story lies. People who can't admit when they're wrong and apologize when they need to. Ignorance, people who don't respond to messages....if your not intersted then just say so but have enough class to say something!!!"Think occasionally of the suffering of which you spare yourself the sight. ~Albert Schweitzer""Nobody Made A Greater Mistake Than He Who Did Nothing Because He Could Ony Do A Little" Edmund Burke"If It Has A Shadow...It Has A Soul"Look at this face and into these eyes....make a differance no matter how small you THINK it may be...it may be HUGE to him!!!!R.I.P Maximus.....You may be gone but you will never be forgotten. Those who tortured you will be brought to justice and if not in this life then by God himself. Be at PEACE sweet boy!!!!

My Interests

PLEASE watch this short video....This woman has such a BEAUTIFUL soul, can't we find it in our hearts to help a woman that has NOTHING but still finds a way to help others?
“Life is as dear to the mute creature as it is to a man. Just as one wants happiness and fears pain, just as one wants to live and not to die, so do other creatures.” -His Holiness The Dalai Lama“May all beings everywhere plagued with sufferings of body and mind quickly be freed from their pain. May those frightened cease to be afraid, and may those bound be free. May the powerless find power, and may people befriend all life. May those of all species who find themselves lost, the young, the aged, the unprotected, be guarded by beneficent celestials, and may they swiftly attain Buddhahood.” —Buddhist Prayer for PeacePLEASE SUPPORT THE ALF!!!!"Discarded in a world where no one does care...never knowing love or compassion, nothing to share...your eyes seeing everything, your heart longing to live...yet nobody sees you, nobody is willing to give...the time has come to close your eyes, depart from this earth...loving place awaits you, it is time for your rebirth.... Thank you Dino for your words!!“They too, are created by the same loving hand of God which Created us...It is our duty to Protect Them and to promote their well-being.”—Mother Teresa~PLEASE CLICK ON THE BANNERS BELOW ONCE EACH DAY TO HELP THE ANIMALS. IT ONLY TAKES A SECOND.~

"The way of peace is the way of love. Love is the greatest power on earth. It conquers all things."~ Peace PilgrimAMEN...I'm alive!!! ~PLEASE spay and Neuter~

This is a BEAUTIFUL video about what we are going to lose if we don't learn to LOVE and Care for "OUR" world and it's animals!!!! PLEASE WATCH

I looked at all the caged animals in the shelter...the cast-offs of human society. I saw in their eyes love and hope, fear and dread, sadness and betrayal. And I was angry. "God," I said, "this is terrible! Why don't you do something?" God was silent for a moment and then He spoke softly. I have done something," He replied. "I created you." ~The Animals' Savior Copyright Jim Willis 1999"When the last tree is cut down, the last river poisoned, the last fish caught.... Then only will man discover that he can not eat money. 'The most violent element in society is ignorance'-Emma Goldman "

"Love of animals is a universal impulse, a common ground on which all of us may meet. By loving and understanding animals, perhaps we humans shall come to understand each other." ~Dr. Louis J. Camuti~Each time someone stands up for an ideal, or acts to improve the lot of others, or strikes out against injustice they send forth a ripple of hope. - Robert F. Kennedy"If I drop from my head to my Heart the answers and questions always involve the truth."~Unknown~LOOK at this pretty pitty boy..don't you just want to take him home for FOREVER? ;-) He just wants to LOVE you!!!!Beautiful video....learn the FACTS !!!!"Think occasionally of the suffering of which you spare yourself the sight. ~Albert Schweitzer""Wild animals never kill for sport. Man is the only one to whom the torture and death of his fellow creatures is amusing in itself ..Froude, James Anthony." EXIT OPHELIA - "BELIEVE"

Thank you for your willingness to scream back. -synthian
"Ever occur to you why some of us can be this much concerned with animals suffering? Because government is not. Why not? Animals don't vote." ~Paul HarveyTo my mind, the life of a lamb is no less precious than that of a human being. The more helpless the creature, the more that it is entitled to protection by man from the cruelty of man. ~Mahatma Gandhi~"A dog is the only thing on earth that loves you more than he loves himself." Josh billings"If a dog will not come to you after having looked you in the face, you should go home and examine your conscience.""The most beautiful people we have known are those who have known defeat, known suffering, known struggle, known loss, and have found their way out of the depths. These persons have an appreciation, a sensitivity and an understanding of life that fills them with compassions, gentleness, and a deep loving concern. Beautiful people do not just happen." ~Elisabeth Kubler Ross~Love and compassion are necessities, not luxuries. Without them, humanity cannot survive. ~HH The Dalai Lama~The creatures that inhabit this earth-be they human beings or animals-are here to contribute, each in its own particular way, to the beauty and prosperity of the world.- H.H. ~The Dalai Lama~"Love is an attempt at penetrating another being, but it can only succeed if the surrender is mutual." ~Octavio Paz~"There are things that we don't want to happen but have to accept, things we don't want to know but have to learn, and people we can't live without but have to let go of. We must embrace pain and burn it as fuel for our journey." ~Kenji MiyazawaSTOP PUPPY MILLS....EDUCATE YOURSELVES THEN EDUCATE OTHERS. PLEASE...FOR THEIR SAKE!!!!!!~Imagine Solace for all animals~~To love is to place our happiness in the happiness of another~"If a man aspires toward a righteous life, his first act of abstinence is from injury to animals." -Albert Einstein"To close your eyes will not ease anothers pain ""People often say that 'beauty is in the eye of the beholder,' and I say that the most liberating thing about beauty is realizing that you are the beholder. This empowers us to find beauty in places where others have not dared to look, including inside ourselves." ~Salma Hayek~""A hundred years from now, it will not matter the sort of house I lived in, what my bank account was, or the car I drove...but the world may be different because I was important in the life of the animals and the creatures on this earth."""Never be afraid to do in our hearts what we feel to be right especially if the well being of a person or animal is at stake. Society's punishments are small compared to the wounds we inflict on our soul when we look the other way." Unknown

"Beauty is not in the face; beauty is a light in the heart." ~Khalil Gibran"Heaven goes by favour. If it went by merit, you would stay out and your dog would go in." - Mark Twain"The heart feels what the eyes cannot see, and knows what the mind cannot understand."The world is a dangerous place, not because of those who do evil but because of those who look on ... and do nothing!!!~Albert Einstein~"There is a loftier ambition than merely to stand high in the world. It is to stoop down and lift mankind a little higher." ~Henry Van Dyke~"If you have passion for what you do, the company you keep, the life you live, it will be reflected in whatever you create. Passion is like that; it springs out, jumps, unpredictable and unplanned, into everything we touch. If it doesn't, others know. Passion can't be faked and it can't be manufactured. Which is why it is so priceless." ~unknown~If you witness or know of pet abuse PLEASE call 911 then go here and report it!!! http://www.petabuse.com

"All Creatures Have An Innate Nobility And Thus Deserving Of Respect And Love""Until one has loved an animal, a part of one's soul remains unawakened."My interest, I'm pretty simple and like simple things, takes very little to please me. The rain is amazing...nothing smells better than after a good thunderstorm!! I love the outdoors especially during the summer...going to the mountains, to the lake, or all the different parks. Listening and LEARNING. I enjoy big BBQ's with friends, just hanging out, laughing and having a good time. Tatoos...I have a few but would like to get a few more. ANIMALS...OMG do I really need to say more? Anyone who loves and enjoys being in their presence understands what I am talking about. Candles, aromas...smells are very important. Music...all kinds just some more than others. Children...just LOVE being around them...they are amazing little creatures!!! Football on Sunday afternoons with friends and cocktails are the best..GO STEELERS!! OOOH...and of course shopping but then what woman doesn't like to shop?"Non-violence leads to the highest ethics, which is the goal of all evolution. Until we stop harming all other living beings, we are still savages." ~Thomas A. Edison"Only through action will we truly be free"Educate yourself..... educate others!!!!"Our task must be to free ourselves...by widening our circle of compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole of nature and its beauty" ~Albert Einstein~Change Begins With Ourselves!!!!!If you don't know or understand this breed...go to this website...there's alot of great information. Use it to educate yourself and others about these amazing dogs!!!!!

I'd like to meet:

I'd like to meet HONEST, KIND, LOYAL, and COMPASSIONATE people. People that believe character, substance, and the depth of a persons soul and spirit are more important than looks, financial or social standing. People that have a strong faith and aren't ashamed to show or express their beliefs. People that believe in protecting beings weaker then themselves and speak out for those who can't. People who aren't afraid to stand up for what THEY believe is right even if they're standing alone. Someone that can accept me for who and what I am without judgment or wanting to mold me into the person they think I should be. Someone who knows that my past choices and mistakes don't define me and who I am now. TOTAL acceptance is all I'm looking for!!!!

Music:

"If you pick up a starving dog and make him prosperous, he will not bite you; that is the principal difference between a dog and a man." ~Mark Twain~" 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." ~Nelson Mandela~"Dogs love their friends and bite their enemies, quite unlike people, who are incapable of pure love and always have to mix love and hate." ~Sigmund Freud~"If there are no dogs in Heaven, then when I die, I want to go where they went ...""Think occasionally of the suffering of which you spare yourself the sight. ~Albert Schweitzer"

I LOVE ALL MUSIC JUST SOME MORE THAN OTHERS. ANYTHING THAT MAKES ME FEEL SOMETHING. A FEW OF MY FAVORITES ARE : TRAIN, STAINED, HINDER, JONNY LANG, GOO GOO DOLLS, SEAL, SWITCHFOOT, STING, UNCLE KRACKER, U2, MAROON 5, FOO FIGHTERS, ROB THOMAS, INCUBUS, NICKELBACK, 3 DOORS DOWN, LIFEHOUSE, JAMES BLUNT, THE CALLING AND SOOOO MANY MORE!!!!!..Beautiful!!!!....We Can Judge The Heart Of A Man By His treatment Of Animls.....

Television:

A Rescuer's CreedI shall be a believer of all that is good in man and of all that is deserving in animals. I shall plead for their lives, campaign for their safety and uphold their right to a natural death. I shall seek out the injured and the maimed, the unloved, and the abandoned and tend to them in their last days. I shall not forget their place in the hierarchy of life, nor that we walk in each other's paths. I shall bear witness to the wonder they bring into our lives and to the beauty they bestow upon our souls. I shall renew their spirits when they are waning, bind their wounds when they bleed, cradle them when they whimper, and comfort them when they mourn. I shall be near them in their hour of greatest need - a companion and friend when the time has come. I shall watch over them and console them and ask that the angels gather them in their arms. From the creatures of the earth I shall learn the fruits of compassion and undying love, and I shall be called the beloved of God. In their company I shall indeed be blessed.~ Susan M. Pearson ~"Save the life of a helpless animal..and you have done the work of God"

GOD BLESS AMERICA and OUR TROOPS!!!! Our police and fireman, for protecting and serving us everyday and thinking of it as ONLY THEIR JOBS...these are our true heros!!!
