Holy Cow


I had the joy of volunteering some of my time at the Gentle Barn. If you have not heard of this organization, you must check them out. It is an animal sanctuary that saves and rehabilitates animals from severe abuse, neglect, and slaughter.  Each and every animal has their own story, it is not easy to listen to, some really fucked up shit happened to such sweet beings. It is truly amazing that the animals they rescued are capable of love and trust after they had been so mistreated and had horrible previous lives. These animals are ambassadors of compassion. While spending my time there, it was hard not to fall in love with every single animal. I mean, did you know turkeys LOVE to be hugged!? Out of all the sweet little faces there, I felt the deepest strongest connection to the cows at the barn. Their curious, round,, brown eyes captivated my heart. I am sure you can see why.
I have this photo hanging in my kitchen above my stove. She is the only cow allowed in my kitchen.
