I suppose it is no accident that Bedlam Farm is populated with what I call Comeback Creatures. It is somewhat accidental – or perhaps it isn’t – that there are so many here. Red is a Comeback Creature, he was in big trouble on his farm in Ireland, Dr. Karen Thompson took care of him and fought to get him to me. Minnie is surely a Comeback Cat, still struggling for balance and movement after losing her leg a month ago. Simon is a Poster Child Comeback Creature, he was minutes from death when he was rescued by the police and brought to Bedlam Farm, he is a happy and much loved animal.

Zelda was on  her way to market, we took her literally off of the truck taking her there. Flo too, is a Comeback Cat, she hid in the woodshed and under the porch for months before she came out and showed herself to Maria – a smart move, and is the Queen of the farm. These animals are symbols to me, fairy tales in a way, powerful affirmations of the drive to live and survive, each has challenged me in a different way to be a better human, and isn’t that the wonder of animals, to love them well requires us to be better humans.

Katz’s Law: To Have The Dog You Want, You Will Have To Be A Better Human, There Is No Other Way. No Angry Person Has A Great Dog Or A Well-Trained Dog, If You Look Around, You Will See That This Is So,
