The Compassion Experiment Day 147!

Aaaaaand... we're back!!

The Veggie Food Festival, has come and went, and we had an awesome time!
My favorite part: the eating.
I'm talking mouth watering carrot cake, unbelievably good Rice Palau and Chana Masala, and the food we took home, has been just as good.
And the choices, wow, more than you can imagine, and it is all guilt free. Nice.
We were amazed at the amount of vendors and products that we were familiar with, it was really cool.
We spent a lot of $$$, but that's just the way it goes sometimes.
The Veggie food festival is our x-mas.


There was a lot of people, but no pushing and shoving. The crowd is pretty mellow, but the enthusiasm of the people, and their dedication to their causes, is inspiring.
The crowd last year was pretty big, but this year, the crowd has to have doubled, it was pretty crazy, but it is exciting to see so many people who think like you, act like you do, eat like you do, I think this is a way of life that is going to continue to grow exponentially, infinity.

If you missed it this year, you have to make it out sometime, it is such an amazing experience.

Thanks to PA for coming with us, it was great spending time with you!

We can't wait to visit the pig sanctuary we learned about, called Ruby Ranch.
From their website: "Ruby Ranch is a sanctuary strictly for pigs. It's named after our very first potbellied pig, Ruby. Shortly after we got her, we realized there was a great need for safe haven for pigs of all kinds."
We'll take pictures, and let you know how it goes.
I expect it to be great, just like the Donkey Sanctuary.

B has signed on as a volunteer at the Humane Society! She will work with kids, and teach them about respecting animals, as part of the Kindness Club.
She is going to love it!

We visited Cats Castle in Oakville on the weekend and were impressed and inspired. Ron and Kirsten are great, and I love the way they treat their animals. Cross your fingers for us, because there is a great opportunity there, and we'd be happy to help out in the future.

We are now at Day 147 of The Compassion Experiment, and things are better than ever!
We're happy, we are learning more every day, and the amount of doors that have been opened to us, is pretty mind blowing.
We hope that you will stay with us, as we continue to eat, drink and be merry, the compassionate way!

Animals saved today: 4
Animals saved to date: 572

Note: we realize these numbers are not a true representation, but in our minds, this helps to visualize the damage we are causing when we eat animal by-products.
