I am so thankful it’s not raining. Tropical Storm Hermine has rained down on us for days and the sanctuary is flooded. I fully expected to walk outside this morning and see Rocky Creek at my door step, but she’s in her banks. Thank Goodness! I appreciate my father looking after Jamie even after he died. Mom gave all of the grandchildren “a new car from Papa” and Jamie, who is already driving her dream car, bought a new RV last night. It was their dream RV, so I’m glad they will have that home on the road. I love all the volunteers who come out in the pouring rain to make sure the cats are fed and have high, dry spots to ride out the storms. Hurricane Hermine slammed into Florida this morning as a Cat 1 (74-95 MPH), but I’m thankful that we were not directly in her path. We are getting a lot of rain and wind, in the trailing bands, but I’m hoping the worst has passed as she’s losing speed now to a Tropical Storm. I’m grateful that we have power this morning. I was happy and surprised to see that Kalahari Serval survived the night. She was the 100th exotic cat that my son in law, Justin, has sedated. He’s turned out to be an amazing vet with Jamie by his side to keep him focused and moving forward when he’s in doubt.

 

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.
