I’m so thankful for family members who keep me out of the weeds.
 
 
Literally, Jamie went out into the woods at a release site, hours away from here to pick up a trail cam from where she set Rain and Dancer free.  She prepared the Volunteer Newsletter, which is a LOT of details like how many hours each of our 100 volunteers/ interns worked, updates on all of our rules, having all of the readers re certify on the feeding and cleaning procedures, etc.  All I have to contribute each month is my cat story and a form to collect their answers.
 
My mother spent 3 hours on the phone with Frontier trying for the second time now to get them to change two of our residential accounts to commercial accounts so we can have a static IP address.  Since Frontier took over they just randomly reset all of our IP addresses breaking the connectivity to the explore.org cameras.  I would lose my mind if I had to deal with that.
 
Howie manages the weekly calls with our lobbyist and the IFAW lobbyists.  He deals with the attorneys on our cases against Joe and others.  He slogs through the verbiage of contracts, pours over spread sheets, and sets up my coffee every morning; all so that I can focus on the bigger picture.
 
I love them one and all.
 
Hi, I’m Carole Baskin and I’ve been writing my story since I was able to write, but when the media goes to share it, they only choose the parts that fit their idea of what will generate views.  If I'm going to share my story, it should be the whole story.  The titles are the dates things happened. If you have any interest in who I really am please start at the beginning of this playlist: http://savethecats.org/
 
I know there will be people who take things out of context and try to use them to validate their own misconception, but you have access to the whole story.  My hope is that others will recognize themselves in my words and have the strength to do what is right for themselves and our shared planet.
