Recuperation Petfinder-Farm-Style
Wednesday, July 25, 2007
Last week was a very eventful one. The site redesign for Petfinder.com launched and I got mugged. Not sure which was more stressful, just kidding.
The thing you can’t let go of after you’re held up is the fact that you’re okay, if you are okay. So I’m trying to hold on to that and work through whatever I need to work through.
My bosses, petfinder.com founders, Betsy and Jared Saul convinced me to leave DC and stay with them at their farm in New Jersey for the rest of the week. I’m really glad I did. Betsy made me feel better instantly by telling me how assertive I sounded when I told the muggers, “Just take it!”
The farm was very healing. I got to pet and feed 3 goats (I so want one), 1 sheep, 3 horses, 3 doggies, a cat, and a couple of alpaca’s from next door. It was basically the Sound of Music with animals 
Betsy and Jared take in the strays, and I was one lucky dog!
I just wish I had a camera. Next time…
