14 Stories That Prove Animals Have Souls A dream treehouse · Sheepy Me I've always wanted a treehouse when I was a child but living in a city made it a little difficult.

Cruelly Abandon Dog is Found Near Death, But Gets a Rescue You Need to See It’s hard to understand why some humans choose to cruelly abandon or viciously abuse their pets, but it happens every day and it breaks our hearts. But, every now and then, you’ll find a story that completely restores your faith in humanity. This is one of those stories. A Reddit user casually posted this gallery, casually calling it an “abandoned dog rescue.” In reality, it was one of the most shocking rescues we have ever seen. Seriously, this is graphic…so turn away now if you’re squeamish. This dog was found completely emaciated, terribly wounded on his hindquarters and all alone. Words can’t even describe this poor dog’s injury. He was skin and bones, it was a miracle he was still living. It was obvious someone knew he was there. There was a gaping hole on the back of his legs… So his savior carried him to get help. He was finally going to be loved. The starving dog was already thankful for the help. The first step was treating his terrible wound. Slowly, but surely, he was healing.

» The Many Reasons We Rely Upon Our Clutter Post written by Leo Babauta. Clutter isn’t an easy problem to solve, no matter how many times I might tell you to toss it out, tell you that you don’t need it. A book isn’t just an object with words on it. A jewelry box isn’t just a container. Clothes aren’t just protection from the elements. Each of these inanimate objects means so much more to us. We put our emotions into them. They are our crutches. What are we to do when we discover these crutches? The Roles of Clutter These aren’t all true for every person, but I’ve found they’re very common: 1. New habit: Learn to combat fears with information. 2. New habit: Learn that you don’t need external objects to be attractive or good enough. 3. New habit: Learn to live in the present. 4. New habit: Realize that things aren’t love, and that the love is only in people. 5. New habit: Squash every bit of hope in yourself. 6. New habit: Deal with the problems. 7. New habit: Take one piece, and deal with that. 8. Clutterfree Book & Course
