Acknowledgments
I could have never managed to write this book without the love and support
from those in my life and those who have graced it by passing through. An
enormous amount of gratitude and thanks goes to each and every one of my
clients and friends who have supported my work throughout the years with their
animals. You have embraced and accepted all that I do with open arms and a
willingness to hear and learn. We have had many laughs and shed a few tears
each step of the way, learning and understanding more about our animals and
ourselves. May our journey together continue and grow.
To my nearest and dearest—
To Mom, to whom I could never say thank you enough for all you do: You have
stood by my side and supported me through thick and thin in a million different
ways. Love you stacks—huge amount of gratitude. Thank you.
To Kyle and Skye, my sons: It has been a privilege and joy to watch you
grow and to be by your side every step of the way. I am so proud of the men you
are becoming. Thank you for sharing your home with all the never-ending
bottles, plants, and smells around the house.
To Milo, Savannah, Romeo, and Molly, my lovely dogs, who have had to
sometimes take a backseat when I am away working: You wait patiently for my
return and never judge or feel resentful that I have been with other animals and
not them. You have been my teachers. You are my heroes.
To Melana Gerber, for sharing this journey as well as your gifts and insights
with me: We did it! From the floors of the stables, flying papers, and blunt
pencils, a book was born. Melana, I couldn’t have done it without you.
To Alexandra, my editor, and mentor: Thank you for always lending an ear
and for your optimism and support throughout the years. It means a lot to me.
A huge thank you to all the people behind the scenes who got involved in the
book and helped me along the way: Cameron Green and Tammy Mustoe for the
illustrations, Bernadette de Kock for some of the photographs, and anyone I may
have forgotten.
To everyone who is involved in animal rehabilitation and rescue: Thank you
is not said often enough to those of you who devote your free time, effort, and
funds so willingly. Thank you for your devotion and tireless commitment to the
animals in your care and the rescue work you do.
