Handsome English Setter Spot

This handsome boy is called Spot. He was found abandon on the streets, skin and bones and with a broken heart. We were asked if we could help finding him a home.

I was amazed! We found a home in only one hour. Friends of mine, that has lived down in Naples and adopted two english setter rescuers.  Gina, one of the girls died and they have been waiting for a while after the 'right' one for their Princess. I sent them the pictures of Spot and they answered back right away...'he is welcome to our home in Germany'

On our mission down we wanted to meet him and also thank his foster dad Fabrizio. Without foster moms/dads we cannot get our documents ready. We love their help, its amazing since I know how difficult it is emotional to later hand them over. You get so attached.

It was a lovely meeting. What a boy, what a soul....amazing dog. Im in love.

That's Amore!

Our Wonderful Veterinarian

This trip would be so short that I had to cut down on my 'want to visit' list. I always love to go and see 'our' veterinarian since 2008 Dr Damiani. 

He is a very busy man with his own clinic and working on American base.

I had to go to the American base to pick up some things. Who is not coming walking if not Dr. Damiani. We both got so happy to see each other if only for 3 minutes.

Amazingly, he had 'our' AWL t shirt under his vet scrubs. How awesome was that!

Thank you Dr D for still thinking highly about us.

That's Amore!

Heading down to Napels Italy Shelter Mission

MISSION TIME

With my best volunteer we drove down to Napoli, Italy again. We were so exited and with the SUV full of dog food that we bought in Germany, we were even more exited. --Thank you for your donations, we cannot do this without your help.

We picked up beautiful Nicky and brought her with us to Rossella Shelter. A shelter AWL helped during 2009-2010 and now we are back. Rossella had moved and her shelter was top. Nice and clean.

Its a tough job carrying all these heavy bags...but who said we couldn't. Getting nice summer arms.

As always so many beautiful souls. This guy was so happy to get love and company. He is waiting for his home.

Another little cutie.

Two cuties having a conversation.

Rossella has worked with rescuing dogs for over 30 years. Amazing since it is a very tough work with no salary.

Love and hugs when we got to see each other again.

That's Amore!

Time to Go

Thank Above I'm not born with two left hands!

Both my cars were covered with snow -and ice under!

Time to find my SUV and go on mission down south!

Wake up darling!

The Best Teacher Ever

I remember when I was chosen 'The Dog Friend of the Year' by the fabilous Magazine 'Härliga Hund' It was an honor to be in the same picture as my first rescue Hospice Dog, Dicky. He was in a terrible shape, hit by a car and with broken frontlegs,he laid and had to selfheal. Skin and bones, full of diseases but with a strong heart. I found him in a dark wet cage and I carry him out into the sunshine and green grass. We sat there, him and I. I cried when I had to carry him back into the cage but I promised that I would be back. It took me weeks of hard work until I could go back and convince the lady to give me the permission to bring Dicky to my hospice.
Dicky, you taught me so much before leaving this Earth. In my way of seeing life we didn't get much time together....but for you, it was eternal. 

I learned that we people want time, long time ......our fear to give someone more than we would get in return...we cannot stand.

I promise, when you discover the love that a Senior can give ...you will dare to open your heart heart emoticon

That's Amore!

The honor should go to Dicky instead, 'The Best Teacher Ever'

Alla Våra Hjärtans Dag - för Djuren

En inspirerande dag med eldsjälen Mia Mattson-Mercer, författare, krönikör och erkänd djurkommunikatör som huvudtalare. Mia är grundare av Animals Without Limits, en ideell förening som drivs av eldsjälar och volontärer för de som inte har någon röst -Djuren! 

Dagens intäkter går oavkortat till föreningen.

Kom och låt dig beröras av Mias fantastiska berättelser ur livet
som djurkommunikatör och som president /eldsjäl i AWL
Djuren har bjudit på mod, kärlek och visdom
långt över vår fattningsförmåga, de har så mycket att lära oss,
att ge, när vi stannar upp och lyssnar. 

Mias dotter, Olivia kommer även att berätta om sina upplevelser. Förutom både fantastiska, kärleksfulla och ibland sorgliga anekdoter kommer Mia även att berätta om hur djurkommunikation går till, och alla får chans att öva på detta genom en vägledd övning. Utöver Mias föredrag, bilder och berättelser kommer ni att få ta del av meditationsövning och en trumresa (naturkraft) för att fylla på er själva med energi, samt hitta platsen av inre närvaro (en förutsättning för djurkommunikation). 
Dessaövningar och ett kort föredrag om hur vi kan jobba med "Djursom lärare" hålls av en av Animals Without Limits Volontärer Mia Holm

You can cry *

You can be angry

But never give up!

Its a Promise

The days goes by quickly, amazing scary. So much we want to do, so many souls we want to rescue.

Most of us start New Year with a a resolution of what we want to accomplish. Our promise is to continue working hard rescuing animals. Finding homes, spay and neuter missions, making sure wounded animals (strays) get medical care, food donations to shelters--that allows adoptions outside Italy.

And...open a hospice clinic in Toscana 2017

I hope you will continue following and supporting our work. We cannot do it without you...you are an important link to our work.

That's Amore!
