For those of us who love all animals, stories of abuse does take its toll. But to those of you actively involved with rescue and being a voice for the pets that have no other voice it can be incredibly draining. Going to court on abuse cases then the Baldwin interview is a lot for anyone to process.

Go ahead, take a break from all of it. You've done so much for the helpless and mistreated animals. It's really no surprise that it all is getting to you, some would call it "burn-out". Above all else, take care of your own self and count on your friends to understand.
