Helping the Little Animal Refugees |
My main focus on writing is concerned with animals and animal welfare. I am a passionate animal lover and I volunteer at the local animal refuge on the Sunshine Coast in Queensland Australia.
I have so many interests and I want to write about them all or just one small aspect of them. Writing for me is another way to make sense of this crazy, complicated world we have created.
Writing is another way I feel I am able to share stories of those who can not speak out such as animals and educate people about things they may not know. I want to allow people to see another side or the consequences of actions that main stream media deem un newsworthy.
I live in a small town called Yandina with my two dogs and three cats, all who were rescued in one way or another. By writing on Flick Spin I can see story ideas or blogs every where. The only trouble is trying to find the time to get them all down.
I hope people find my work entertaining and useful. I love feed back, good or bad to keep improving. So let me know what you think.

Despite their age, old dogs have a lot to give an owner. You don't have to be brave or rich to give one a home. Puppies maybe cute, but senior dogs deserve a look in as well. Stop stepping over puppy pee and look at the benefits of senior dogs.
