This was Ammo’s life two months ago. My heart broke for him, but since my life has been a teensy bit complicated lately, I wasn’t sure I had the energy for a rescue. My killer manipulative skills being what they are, I e-mailed a photo of Ammo at the shelter to a dog loving friend with the sad story of Ammo’s life in hell. Enter said friend and an accomplice who decreed that Ammo would be a group project. And so I adopted him, and Uncle M and Auntie S pitched in with the care, training, and rehab of a very frightened dog. "Religion is for those who are afraid of going to hell; spirituality is for those who have been there." Attributed to a member of Alcoholics Anonymous, this statement pretty much sums up my approach to life and all things existential. I don't have any real beef with religion, easy answers just quit working for me. Spirituality reflects my attempt to deal; what with life being a dicey proposition in which no one gets out alive.
