Animal Writings

A good friend at Cats Rule! Feline Rescue gave me some tips on how to get rid of the "sprinkles" on the logo. So I did that, which improved the look substantially. I also added the date to the logo, so the date of the event would be on every page. I wrote a quick signup form and put some links to recipes and bake sale "how-to" pages on the site. Now the site was at least looking halfway real.

I contacted my friend, radio host, fellow vegan, and fellow rabbit adopter Louie Free and told him about the project. Louie has been fantastic. He generously scheduled a show in which he would interview both me and Colleen Patrick-Goudreau, founder of Compassionate Cooks, author of The Joy of Vegan Baking (and more recently The Vegan Table), teacher of vegan cooking classes, and creator of some truly eloquent and educational podcasts.

Can I give a huge shout-out to both these people? Louie hosts his "Brain Food from the Heartland" radio show every weekday out of Youngstown, Ohio to a general audience. He has an extensive variety of guests. He promotes vegan products and local vegan businesses. He has gone to great lengths to help rabbits in dire straits.

Colleen is an amazing voice for animals and compassion to "all who live." Her podcasts are riveting. Not to mention thoroughly researched. Her recipes are scrumptious. Her writings and public speaking appearances are filled with passion, inspiration, and joy.

As I was to find out—and am still finding out—support from fellow animal advocates is amazing and uplifting. I am deeply and forever appreciative.
