Lessons From A Rabbit

by Rev. Teresa Burton

 

One hot afternoon, I walked to my car to run some errands. I looked around to the shady spots where I had seen the rabbit at various points over the summer. It was not there. Then I had the idea to look under my car. Sure enough, I found it reclining on the gravel in the shade of my car. In that moment, I had a choice. I could make a loud noise to scare it off or I could start my car and assume it would scurry away.

Companion Pet Meals from Meals on Wheels

 

Years ago, we learned that an alarming number of our elderly and disabled clients were not eating all of their nutritious meal, but actually sharing it with their pets! This is a real problem for clients who live on a minimal income and desperately need the full nutritional benefits of our meals, not to mention the fact that our meals are not always healthy for the pets. Clients who have difficulty adequately feeding their cat or dog may receive supplemental pet food for up to two pets at no charge.
