Join me as I design and create my preschool classroom for 2023. Hi! I'm GiGi and I'll be teaching in a preschool classroom in 2023. I get to design the space and the curriculum, and I cannot wait to see what amazing things we can learn this year.

I Have A "No-Kill" Policy ...
Yup, you heard me right.
I found a dog.
He's 12 years old. Ex-breeding stud perhaps? Desexed and given away apparently a year ago by the breeder (apparently) ... Breeder hasnt updated the details ...
His "new" owners haven't come forward ...
I found him running in traffic in the rain, following a thunder storm ...
He's underweight, has fleas, toe nails too long, a few patches of dermatitis (I'm so hoping NOT mange) ...
I can't save all the animals in the world even though I want to.
I can save this one.
I'll have a "no intervention" policy ... I'll feed him and house him and play with him and just wait and see while I still look for his owners ...
I'd be so disappointed in myself if I took him to the pound where they'd put him down. Who would want a 12 year old arthritic dog? Not many, if any.
My dog beats him up though. Something to work on. Dog whispering skills to learn.
I have a no kill policy ... because to give him up, would be to let him die, and I wouldn't be able to hold my head up, look myself in the mirror, or sleep with a dry pillow.
I've been saving creatures since I was a child and as far as I'm concerned its clearly in my nature.
