Logically I realize that makes no sense, it's just a mindset I get stuck in... and I'm really grateful for animal lovers like you who take the time to remind me that it truly is okay to celebrate the successes!<br /><br />Now I'm going to go snuggle with my rescue pups and tell them how much I love them :)Barb@ThatWasVegan?http://www.thatwasvegan.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2120799145024687094.post-33788824912284665532012-01-31T23:13:23.946-08:002012-01-31T23:13:23.946-08:00Your comment about the dogs being saved reminded m...Your comment about the dogs being saved reminded me of the parable about saving starfish.

Of course, there are millions of animals who suffer daily. But each little life counts. And when one is saved, we're succeeding. Staying angry all the time can lead to burnout ... and that doesn't help anyone.Biancahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11545245728462853370noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2120799145024687094.post-44105524387482356602012-01-31T07:31:10.624-08:002012-01-31T07:31:10.624-08:00You are right, every action we take to help the an...You are right, every action we take to help the animals matters because every animal matters. We can and should celebrate every victory, every time we influence someone in a positive way- that's why we do what we do and work as hard as we do at it. Thank you for speaking up, speaking out, and generally being awesome :)KD @ YDVhttp://www.yourdailyvegan.comnoreply@blogger.com
