"Who can know what effect our smallest acts of kindness may have on others? Perhaps the most important contribution of Mother Teresa, who serves the most destitute and neglected, is that she instills in those who have been abandoned the realization that they too are loved." ~ Sant Darshan Singh Ji Maharaj ~ Panda Pig's Peace Sanctuary exists so that abandoned, neglected, sick, and dying guinea pigs may experience that they, too, are cherished and loved!

KAYAKING TO CELEBRATE THE SOLSTICE!
Dear Precious Friends,
Although we have only seen the sun in a warm way perhaps twice this year, the summer Solstice is nearly upon us and we mustn't let it pass uncelebrated!
We all talked it over (but not with Fluffy the kitten because she doesn't move in until tomorrow for two and a half weeks) but we feel she will support our decision to send mom to the Community Boating Center's "Adaptive and Beginning Paddling Workshop" at Bloedel-Donovan Park, across the street from where we used to live. (sniff, sniff, no we don't miss it at all, sniff)
Mom needs to GET OUT! She lets us out, and now it's our turn to return the favor. She used to enjoy kayaking and canoeing...but putting the Permanently Handicapped License PLATES on the car this week was a bummer, what else can we say? She put it off for thirty years then threw in the towel. Or, she matured spiritually to the point of acceptance. Whichever or both...living isn't linear in OUR house, that's for sure!
Mom still doesn't view herself as handicapped and neither do we. So, we invite each and every one of you dear friends to think of living your dream on the Solstice in defiance of the 10-11 months of winter we've been "enjoying" up here in the Pacific Northwest:
Do something that you are afraid to do! Or have always WANTED to do but made excuses not to: Just try to be OUT OF DOORS! Unless there is a blizzard, windstorm, avalanche, ice-pellet-hail deluge, earthquake, tsunami, or Volcanic eruption. BE Safe! We want you to be here when Fluffy arrives!
Love,
YumYumChan, defiant deviant KungFuPiglet, KING OF THE WORLD!
