2. Nice trick!

I will try it on the cat during the next thunderstorm.

How do you do it?

3. When I was a wee one,

my parents couldn't drag me to a local circus. The thought of anyone whipping an animal to "do tricks" upset me greatly.

Thank you to ADI for their dedication to these animals who need them.

4. I hope you educated your parents by your reaction.

Isn't it amazing that a child could know that, but not adults.

5. My parents

both had multiple degrees, but that shows being book smart does not insure common sense and world empathy.

And yes, my heart has always loved and cared for ANY animal. Thank you for posting these great rescue stories.

7. Didn't know about lavender oil

I might put some in my aromatherapy diffuser and see how calm Othello gets.
