Trap Neuter Return Podcast

I just finished a unit for my Learning Process in ILT class on podcasting. This is the final assignment I turned in. Because most of my classmates live elsewhere, I included links to help them find more information on organizations in their state; Colorado, Washington, and Tennessee (I hope I didn't leave anybody out!).

My podcast lives on a site called archive.org and you can click this link to have it open in a new window. I'm not sure how to embed it in my blog, but I'll put it on my portfolio site when I get that all worked out.

I have spent a lot of time, energy, and money dealing with a colony of about 15 feral cats in our neighborhood. I have taken 12 cats through this TNR process and the cats are totally fine. They continue to hang out and have even earned names from my husband and me.

Reflections

I debated whether to write this post today. I'll probably still debate it internally for awhile, but here goes anyway.


Today is the anniversary of my Dad's Angel Day. It's been 5 years since my Dad left this physical world behind. It's his Angel Day because that's who he is for me now. I was always a Daddy's Girl and losing my Dad was devastating at the time. I went through a lot of personal turmoil for quite awhile and have many many friends and family to thank for helping me through that.


But today is showing my Dad's favorite weather - the sun is shining, it's warm outside (love Spring in the desert). If I played golf, I'd go play a round for him. Instead, I thought I'd share with you a piece of his favorite candy. I am absolutely indebted to Jeremy at work for creating this graphic for me to help acknowledge, and dare I say celebrate, today's anniversary. Thanks Jeremy!


A special note of gratitude to my husband for making every day sunshiney and warm, especially through the darker times.
