13 Sweet can do it!

Nobody made a greater mistake than she who did nothing because she could only do a little.

— Edmund Burke

Once upon a time, a little girl was walking on the beach where thousands of starfish were stranded in the sand. She hurled one after another into the sea. A man walked up and said, “There’s too many. You’ll never save them all. You can’t make a difference.”

The girl thinks a minute, looks at the piles upon piles of starfish, picks another one up and throws it in the ocean. “I made a difference to that one.”

Often we feel so discouraged by the enormity of a problem that we fail to start. That’s why Sweet breaks giant global issues into fun-filled, bite-sized chunks.

In Cozumel, when people can’t take care of their dogs, they drop them at the dump, thinking they dogs will find plenty of food there. They don’t. What they find is danger, toxic trash and usually a speedy death.

When Sweet visited Cozumel in September 2010, the amazing DJ Trina J organized an expedition to help the plight of stray animals in Cozumel. We had no idea about the dump dogs described in the video above. Read the rest of this entry »

Cozumel: Help stray cats & dogs

humane cozumel Cozumel: Help stray cats & dogs
When stray dogs and cats dream, it’s about being the adored pet of a lesbian. Don’t doubt for a second that they talk about it. They talk of little else.

“I heard they let you sleep in the bed with them!”

“Well, I heard they feed you actual raw meat and vegetables that they prepare fresh every meal.”

“I heard they take pictures of you with them when they go on vacation!”

Yeah, pretty much, you’re all the talk in animal shelters all over the world. Being a lesbian’s pet is like winning the fuzzy lottery. In Cozumel, we’re going to make dreams come true for our furry friends. Animals, rejoice! The lesbians are coming. Read the rest of this entry »
