Thank you for your sacrifices. I dated a Marine for a year, L. Cpl Niall Coti-Sears, an extremely talented musician who was deployed to Helmand Province in 2012. Unfortunately he crossed paths with an IED and died that June and I never really got over it, just try not to think about it I guess. We kept in touch over email and he described what it was like and while I try to imagine it, dream about it, there's no way I'll ever understand what it was like for him being there. Anyway... just wanted to say thank you again, from the bottom of my heart. I never knew if he suffered or if it was instantaneous, my mind just can't fathom it. I never thought it would happen to him for some reason.

My question is, were there any fun times? I know that sounds crazy, but was it possible to have enjoyable and meaningful moments even at war that you look back on fondly? Sorry if the question's inappropriate. I've always wondered.

Hey there,

I'm also a veterinary student and also traveled to India to work at an animal hospital operated by Jains :) it was located in Udaipur, called Animal Aid. Pretty crazy to see how many street animals (dogs and cattle alike) were brought in with horrifying conditions, most of them hit by cars. Indians will brake for humans in my experience, but not dogs. It's sad.

They had a portion of the clinic called "Paralyzed Town" for crippled dogs that had been hit by cars. That was tough to see, but like you said, they refused to euthanize. It was an awesome experience. What clinic did you work at? M

AN ACRE OR TWO FOR APPROPRIATE HOUSING? God, you must have a lot of land (and birds!). Urban falconers like me get by with a 10 by 10 mews with a jump box built in. I live in an apartment!

Sounds good, thanks.

SHOUT out from a fellow falconer :) And my sincere thanks for your work with the peregrine project.
