"We must fight against the spirit of unconscious cruelty with which we treat the animals.
Animals suffer as much as we do. True humanity does not allow us to impose such
sufferings on them. It is our duty to make the whole world recognize it.
Until we extend our circle of compassion to all living things,
humanity will not find peace."
~Albert Schweitzer

All my little wild pets are in hibernation at 10,000 feet (over 3000 meters) up in the Colorado Rocky mountains. I was just going through some of my summer's photos today and nostalgia set in. I miss warm, summer days with these guys. Chippy is the matriarch of the family at five years old. Last May, on my first day at my cabin after a long winter, I got out of my car and called to her. I hadn't seen her for five months, but she heard me and came running the way a dog would. She remembers me from year to year! It's an amazing feeling.
