Caregiver: She Can Talk to the Animals

She Can Talk to the Animals

Corinne loves animals more than she loves people. And they know it. They approach her. They let her touch them. They know they are safe with her. Corinne generally refers to most animals and insects as "she."

Like the other women in my life have done, Corinne takes great efforts to nurture our animal visitors. She feeds stray dogs and wild birds in winter. She "escorts" flies out the door. She shares space with a host of spiders who inhabit her plants.

I have seen Corinne at the point of tears when we pass an animal that has been killed on the road. When she considers the possibility of her death, her animals are the first priority.
