kristen is remarkable at her sweet age and i'm totally impressed by how courageous she is to find so many positiveness in bad times. i visited her blog (which is quite interesting) and from what i could gather, she's really making a difference in so many lives. i can't believe that she was attacked by a dog yet welcomed the very thing that hurt her into her heart...a lesson we could all learn from. how brave, loving and forgiving she is...a heart that is rare in this day in age. what touched me deeply was reading about her past christmas...brought tears to my eyes that people (her own family at that) can be utterly cruel yet her heart soared on with positiveness about her dad and the message he was sending...touched me deep to the core as i can relate with some of my past... kristen, you're a remarkable little lady and wish there were more hearts out there like yours...looking forward to visiting your blog, your flickr and seeing you grow even more beautiful as time goes on...a touched soul, xoxo jo.

"The same dog that tried to attack me weeks ago showed up on my porch with ice all over his body. (...)We took him inside and dried him off. We fed him EVERYTHING in the house, then we brought him back to his owner. It was 14 degrees outside. (...)NOTE: When he tried to attack me, he wasn't violent... he was doing what he was trained to do. (he's a junkyard dog) Once I started petting him, he was a real sweetheart. He's a very good dog, and I'm happy to have him as a new buddy!" - Kristen Ort. Now me: Most of us would think 3 times before letting in our home a dog that a month ago attacked us & one of our pups. Let alone a Rottweiller. But she did. Because it was cold and everyone needs a cuddle and a warm place to feel safe. *Everyone* means *everyone*. Remember that and if you don't, Kristen will remind you of it. There's not a word to describe such love for animals. ^_^
