Love this thread, and reading all the wonderful things you all do-

What I do-never enough!

My children and I are vegetarians, me for 20 years, my children since birth(although they are old enough to choose now, and have decided, with education, to continue).

I have adopted all of my animals. My Dalmatian I adopted 15 years ago from a local rescue, she passed away in April. Our cat, we rescued-she was one of almost 200 feral cats-she was really sick, and the property owners didn't want to pay for her to be taken care of-so we did. Our dog-a "runt" that was thrown in a shelter.

Every month I donate $10.00 in my Dal's name, to the ASPCA. (not a lot, I know, but I try, and I have my human children to care for too!)

We don't wear leather(very difficult in rural VT to find shoes!

We shop at pet stores that don't carry animals.

I point other guinea pig owners to this site.

I joined this forum so that when we can adopt two piggies we can do it right.
