Katherine is excited to be collaborating with longtime friend Raeme on an unprecedented two part story. Their collaboration will feature an illustrated story book for young people with an emotional account of euthanizing pets.  The following essay will also include a look at how the lessons learned from pets can guide us in everyday life. 

This is a heart wrenching story and opens the door for constructive discussion with children about abuse, benign neglect and compassion.

We hope it can be used as a way to begin difficult conversations about making sure to limit toxicity from life.
