Laura Lee:: I am vegan. I am tattooed. I love the earth. I believe in love regardless of gender or race. I will spend my life fighting oppression and spreading compassion. Sometimes my dogs are my favorite people in the world. My family has a second home on the big island of Hawaii, and that is where my heart is. I wish I could fly away...

04/30/2009: "Goodbye Mango"
music: Queen - "The Show Must Go On"mood: Mournful
After a couple of days of struggling with sickness, Mango passed away last night. It's so hard to believe she's gone.
I loved Mango. The way she would travel through paper towel rolls, the way she would jump from high places and scare me to death, the way she would carry her big carrot treats around, the way she'd make her nest, the way she'd stuff her cheeks full of food, the way she'd follow me around in her ball.
We already miss her so much. I was looking forward to bringing her to the new house and spending many more months with her.
Today I took her body home and had a funeral in the backyard with flowers. It just seems like I brought her home yesterday, and she's already gone. I'll never forget her the way I've never forgotten any of the animals that have touched my life so deeply.
