To Be Humane is To Be Human

The Arizona Humane Society is celebrating 50 years of caring for animals this year. Between us, Matt and I have been contributors to the society for about 20 of those years -- and adopters, having acquired our recent cat, Eero, from them in October.

Last year, we had to euthanize our fantastic cat Eames, who was the star of our children's book,
Mama Cat. It was a sad time for us.

We decided to make a special donation to the Arizona Humane Society to remember our cat, and his role in our book. We sponsored two trees on the main campus in south Phoenix (pictured). We got to pick our trees, and had special plaques made. There are many other ways to remember special animals or people, shown
here.

I hope you love animals as much as we do, and will consider donating to your local humane society -- or the
national organization.

Seeing our creation etched on the two signs really touched me. Thanks for posting.
