Rather than presents, that I appreciate but really don't need, I would love it if you could help out the Santa Barbara Humane Organization, which provides amazing support for not just animals, but for people as well. Whether it is providing food and low cost/no cost veterinarian care for those that can't afford it - allowing them to keep their pets, to sheltering animals during natural disasters, to rescuing animals from other shelters that euthanize, to training new vets (which we desperately need), to providing animal behavioral training (and human training!), the Santa Barbara Humane does so much more! And they really need additional funds to continue doing this amazing work. If you haven't toured the facility recently, you should! And in the meantime, please donate whatever you can! Thank you! And if you're wondering what the picture is, that's my little Miss Kitty (RIP) being wooed by the neighboring kitty!
