How to put into words something that is beyond words, beyond logic? A sudden senseless loss of someone that is full of life, kind, gentle, and generous.

The late Dame Daphne Sheldrick once said that raising orphaned elephants is a “cocktail of joy, tempered with a good dose of tears.”

It takes great courage to be kind. Yet, to show love and compassion to someone that is legally not even considered someone but something, a commodity, a thing, sometimes requires an act of bravery.

Sophie is definitely someone. A young baby cow that got badly neglected and mistreated on a farm, was saved by a kind brave person. She was then brought to a “Life with Pigs” sanctuary where she was warmly welcomed by other animal residents and treated with love by the human carers. They treated her infections, gave her proper food and she quickly started to thrive.

How often do we hear the phrase “Mother Earth” related to our beautiful and only planet!? Very often, I’d say, but does that really mean something or is it just an empty phrase?

Mother, to me, is someone that enabled us to experience life, someone we love and care about. In reality, it seems that, “Evil Stepmother” would be more appropriate term considering the ways we’re acting towards our only home. We really are treating it as an evil stepmother.

A few months ago I adopted a plushie piggy we named Bella. She is incredibly sweet and we love her so much. Did you know that the real pigs, when given a chance, are also very sweet and loving? They are also very intelligent. After Chimps, Dolphins, and Elephants, Pigs are right there at the top in the animal world and comparable with a 3-year-old toddler.

Today’s illustration is dedicated to my dear friends Plushie Wear and their project “Plushies helping Plushies”. They are dedicated to providing custom and resale clothing to plushies of all sizes. Besides, they are rescuing plushies & finding them a new home!

Today’s illustration is dedicated to my sweet friends Grueffelo & Flocke and their great mission “Plushies helping Kids”.

Plushies helping Kids has always been a focus for us or rather said a dream we wanted to fulfil. We love kids and we want to draw a smile on their faces , every kid on this whole world deserves to be happy …So we came up with couples of ideas and some of them were done . First Project : Patches which we are being selling and the money we get will go for our ( plushies helping kids ). Our donations went this time for a kids school in Our hometown , which went on fire and most of it was burnt, together with our bank we donated 500€. Our next donation will go for a 2 years old sick little girl to get her health back. The project for this donation will be collecting old Metal  and selling them
