Message from Gail Sharp

September 2023

Recently I learned about a harsh judgement someone made about a decision of mine.

I was hurt, angry, and defensive. How could they judge me? They did not have all the facts! But then, as I paused and took a few deep breaths, I realized that, as often happens, the universe was giving me a lesson – a glimpse into my own actions over my lifetime. I was reminded about snap judgements I have made when I really didn't know the whole story.

Not long after that, another tough experience had a lesson for me hidden inside when a cherished business friend had to cancel his hour-long presentation at a recent TallGrass meeting because of family health challenges. We were heartbroken, but we understood. Then, just because of that cancellation, magical things began to occur, and the result is that nine dear friends and I will experience a very special treat on an upcoming vacation, compliments of my business friend. Such a positive outcome never could have happened if it hadn't been put into motion by a cancellation which seemed so negative at the time. Serendipity!

I'm excited about our trip in September and the new friends and activities that we will experience. And, I'm so fortunate to know that I will be just as excited to come back to beautiful Evergreen, my friends here, my animals, and my beloved TallGrass. We hope to see you here during the coming gorgeous fall season – right around the corner!

P. S. The Evergreen Lake North Trail Project is complete, the construction detour is gone, and everyone can turn left again!

Available for Adoption

Wylie
Labrador Retriever / Great Dane, female, 7 months

Miss Wylie arrived from Texas very skittish and shy at first, but she has definitely grown into her own fur with a little help from her foster Mom's dogs who taught her how to be a more confident pup. She enjoys free roam of the house with her canine companions and loves being outdoors and playing in the backyard. Wylie loves her time in the mountains and is quite the little hiker. She conquered the 8-mile round trip up and down Vail ski resort with ease and a wagging tail as if to say "bring it on!"

Available for adoption at Evergreen Animal Protective League
