The animal therapy sounds great too - I just finished watching a 25 min doc on rescuing Wombats .

I get plenty of Shanti animal therapy. She's 2^1/2 and no longer _little. and tells me off when I talk to her as if she were. Thankfully she hasn't given up playing. As for vegan food though, she accepts dry fruit and malted oats, occasionally a mouthful or two of rice and dahl or potato/veg - surprisingly ok with spices!!! But it'll be just me eating the three big bowls of salad lol.
