I would be remiss if I let today go by without the effort of a personal post. It was three years ago today, that the worst experience of my life took place.

I have faced many personal challenges in my life with tenacity , determination, success, and pride. This one, without a doubt, is the most important one I face in all of my 53 years. It has personal meaning and broad implications, for pets in my home state of New Hampshire and perhaps across the country.

"What do you want out of all of this, Barbara?"

That is what so many ask me. That is what I have contemplated on for three long years, as my life has irreversibly changed. Happiness, peace, contentment, hobbies, friends and family relationships have a different meaning and will never change back to what it once was. Is it a "bad" thing?  Maybe not, but it will hurt and ache in my heart ,driving me in a direction on a path, I never would have chosen.

Justice is what I seek, justice is what I want, justice for

Pocket, justice for the humans that cared, justice for all the companion animals that have met the same fate.

I hope it isn't an empty word, I pray that it is truly obtainable, and I hope that it is blind, fair, and equitable.

Pocket
