Yes I’m ok. Embarrassed and thankful for Southern Aminal Foundation. I’m a huge advocate of self care, but sometimes life moves too fast to even realize what we need and advocate for it. #veterinarian #opossum #animalrescue #naptime #oops #SelfCare
There were State Troopers stopping and looking into each car. I noticed a car pulled of to the side so when I was allowed past. I rolled down my window to check on them. What I saw was a sacred mom trying to put on a brave face for her kids. Me: hey are you ok? Her: I think so. Me: would you like me to pull over and wait with you? Her: I would really appreciate that. Me: you got it! I’ll be right up here and will be recording the entire time. Once the officers let her go she pulled up next to me and said “thank you”. With tears in both of our eyes I told her I was happy to help. Kindness is free. Your privilege is free for you…but it comes at a cost to others. USE IT! #kindness #witness #help #free #momlife #emotional
Whelp…..who would have guessed that Barbara is a conspiracy theorist?! Do you part to help keep the spread of misinformation to a minimum and SPAY AND NEUTER YOUR PETS! #animalrescue #conspiracytiktok #catsoftiktok #kitten #welistenanddontjudge #spayandneuter #veterinarian
Happy One Year Anniversary of this video. This will forever be one of my most cherished moments! It was our anniversary night and we had just closed on our dream forever home (we are still working on her) so we got a babysitter and drove to the new house to sit on the front porch and be together. I don’t know the last time we had laughed this hard together. #laughter #anniversary #marriedlife #heatwave #gardening #husbandwife
If you need me I’ll be in the closet rocking back and forth in the fetal position. Holy crap Batman! #crashout #animalrescue #fullmoon #ducks #wildliferehab
Replying to @ayjanee opossum definitely aren’t for everyone but “gross” is not an adjective I’d use for them #themoreyouknow #wildlife #opossum #kindness
This one’s a first. I’ve had them delivered to me and all sorts of boxes, Tupperware, baskets, and clothes. But never a drawer! #wildlife #why #creative #opossum
While I appreciate their love for my career, it does have its challenges. It is rare that we go anywhere where we do not find something that they think should be taken home and nurtured. #animalrescue #dragonfly #toddlersoftiktok #momlife
Self care takes work. It doesn’t happen “naturally” taking a day to treat myself means coordinating pick up and drop off for the kids. Someone to feed and check on the animals. Someone to be there to intercept emergency intakes (there were two). And least of all, an effort to be with myself in the present and let my brain focus on things beside work and kids. It’s not easy which is why so many of us put it off. It feels like another task or chore… and in some ways it is. But as caregivers it’s a necessity. You can’t pour from an empty cup. #SelfCare #newhair #momlife #caregiver #purple
#greenscreen I don’t wanna be here. I don’t wanna be spending my time and energy on this. I want to be rescuing the animals that I’ve dedicated my life too. While these regulatory guidelines do you need to be updated, simply banning social media and our ability to fundraise isn’t it. #help #wildlife #opossum #squirell #fair #fundraiser #animallover
