Detecting a coyote across the creek. 😬

Animal meat is a major contributor to greenhouse gas emissions and requires ever more land, water, and feed, thus driving deforestation and biodiversity loss. Plant-based “meat” production uses dramatically less land and water, with low greenhouse gas emissions. Vegan for the planet. 🌱☮️

Sunny warm morning. Good for sunny snooze. 😎

Discovering the truth behind “happy farm animals” can be upsetting because the hidden truth is systemic and horrific cruelty and suffering. Going vegan is a way to stop participating in that harm. 🌱☮️

He likes to chew on his treat sticks right next to me. 🤗

When the three mile walk wasn’t enough … house zoomies. 😑

Consider Food Safety: Animal meat has a risk of contamination (E. coli, Salmonella) as well as the use of antibiotics. Plant-based “meat” has no risk of zoonotic disease and no antibiotics. Thus … lower food safety risk with plant-based options. Vegan for health. 🌱☮️

Goji is my forward radar sensor, alerting me to someone coming around the corner. 👏

Goji saw his shadow today, in case you were wondering. 😂

The grocery store meat aisle is a morgue for innocent animals who just wanted to live. Help stop animal cruelty one vegan meal at a time. 🌱☮️

I think he is telepathically trying to convince me to go on another walk. 😁

A new month and a new opportunity to start making a genuine difference … for your health, for the planet, and especially for the animals. Vegan for a better future. 🌱☮️

Who’s the fastest? 😁

Last day of Veganuary, but just another day to do the right thing. Help stop animal cruelty one vegan meal at a time. 🌱☮️

Ready for another walk? 🤗

When part of a dead animal is no longer the center of your plate, you have the opportunity to experience so many new food flavors, colors, and textures. Open your mouth (and heart) to the pleasures of vegan meals. 🌱☮️

Who’s the cutest? 🤗

Please don’t pay for animal suffering and slaughter … no matter how “normal” it seems. A better normal is one where animals are not commodities raised only to die. Vegan for the animals. 🌱☮️

Vegan spaghetti that’s so good. 👍🏻

But Goji, we are going to the mountains and snow in a few weeks. Try to hang onto some of that fur!😂

Violence and hate are rooted in the belief that it’s acceptable to use power to exploit the vulnerable for your own benefit. Animal agriculture is built on that same logic … innocent beings treated as commodities and their suffering normalized. Vegan for the vulnerable. 🌱☮️

Another big morning at day camp. 😁

Vegan values of empathy, restraint, and respect for life are the opposite of the anger, dehumanization, and “us versus them” thinking driving so much division and violence today. Vegan for peace. 🌱☮️

Rainbow salad and vegan hotdog for lunch. 👍

I’m bored. 😑 Ha, yes, I know buddy. Let me finish this one thing and then we will hit the trail. 😁

Veganism is a daily commitment to nonviolence and to widening the circle of moral concern …exactly what this fractured, hostile society needs right now. Vegan for peace. 🌱☮️

When the three mile walk wasn’t enough. 🙄

Fish, shellfish, and marine mammals suffer horribly at the hands of humans. Help save our fresh and sea water species and stop needless cruelty. Vegan for all animals. 🌱☮️

Vegan orzo with chickpeas and veggies. 🌱☮️

Happy dog park fun this morning. 😎👍

Being vegan is a daily act of kindness we can make for the most vulnerable … the animals. 🌱☮️

Trail fun this morning. 😎

Veganism turns compassion into action. It is how we stop paying for cages, fear, and slaughter, and help animals live free from cruelty. Vegan for the animals. 🌱☮️

Although friend shape, Goji and I decided to keep our distance. 😬

Animal cruelty exists because animals are treated as products instead of lives. Every vegan meal choice is a refusal to participate in the violence against animals. Vegan for the animals. 🌱☮️

Ok, I saw him too, but let’s leave the gopher to his own business. 😎

One sec, Goji. Getting my shoes on. 🤗

Food critics often praise the most unhealthful dishes that also come at the cost of animal lives. Listen to your heart … figuratively and literally … and choose vegan meals that help stop animal cruelty. Vegan for the animals. 🌱☮️

After a nice walk, getting ready for a nap. 🤗

A fitness trainer talked about eating rotisserie chickens for protein and said that tearing the chicken apart also made him feel strong. Actually, you can get more healthful protein from plants and violence isn’t a strength. Vegan for the animals. 🌱☮️

Vegan teriyaki “chkn” with ginger kale salad. 👍🌱😊

Poppies are blooming again. 😎

All violence … toward humans or animals … should be unacceptable. Vegan for peace.🌱☮️

Ok, handsome, time to head back. 😊

Take a moment to really think about where your food comes from. I prefer foods that come from fields and trees rather than slaughterhouses. Vegan for the animals. 🌱☮️

Little human brushing Floki and Goji waiting his turn. 🤗

The boys back together for the day. 😊

Choose kindness today and help stop animal cruelty one vegan meal at a time. You will feel great! 🌱☮️

Not at all happy about waiting for car to be serviced. 😑

Happy trail morning for Goji and me. 🌲😎
