McEnaney & Company Realtor Services - The Market Place P.O. Box 402 Ludlow, VT 05149-0402 Welcome to gotVermont.com, your guide to Vermont real estate and the Okemo Mountain area. We love Vermont’s rolling hills, lush green summers, spectacular foliage, excellent skiing & riding, and its welcoming communities…that’s why we call it home. Curious about our local real estate market? If you are a buyer, you can take advantage of opportunities that we haven’t seen since the late 1980s.

NEAVS New England Anti-Vivisection Society (NEAVS) is a national animal advocacy organization founded in 1895. NEAVS’ mission is to end the cruelty and waste of animal experiments and replace them with modern alternatives that are ethically, humanely, and scientifically superior.
NEAVS advocates for the protection of animals through public outreach efforts and publications, through education programs designed to promote greater compassion and respect for life, and through the support of legislative initiatives and litigation intended for the protection of animals.
NEAVS was very helpful in helping us pass the Student Choice for Dissection Bill in Vermont
Our Sympathy Cards Losing your companion animal can be one of the most painful experiences in life we encounter. Our animals simply do not live long enough. It is extremely difficult for us to bear when this four legged, winged, or finned family member passes on and we are left with the void that their companionship has provided.
Animals seem to know when their time is up. The best thing that we can do as their caretakers is to hold and provide comfort to them, expressing our love as opposed to our need for them. It’s important to realize that they need us to assure that they don’t suffer and that we can let go for their sake and not hold onto them for ours.
Both unexpected and planned deaths of our animals will bring grief, resulting in depression, fear, guilt and sadness. Seemingly endless, these emotions can be overwhelming. How can we heal from such trauma? Grief has no timetable. Eventually the emptiness will be replaced by thankfulness for the friendship that we were blessed to have had, if even for too short a time. Our animals give unconditional love, and our love for them can be as deep, or deeper, than some of those bonds formed with our human companions.
During this period, it’s important to take care of yourself. Journaling, lighting a candle in honor of your animal, assembling a collage of photos or reading books about this grieving process can be helpful. Visiting a shelter to rescue another animal in need of a loving home can be a comfort not only to you and your family, but saves the life of another animal equally deserving of a home. Don’t try to replace your companion and expect that the new animal should have the same traits and characteristics as your last love, but rejoice in the spirit and personality that this desperately needy animal posses – all its own.
Animals enrich our lives more than we can ever think possible. Too often this isn’t realized until after they’ve left this world. Keep in mind how much better both of your lives were because of the other and remember that your friend is peacefully crossing the Rainbow Bridge, lined by the best memories of your lives together.
Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine The Physicians Committee of Responsible Medicine (PCRM) is leading the fight to stop animal testing and research - change current federal regulations that require such testing for new drugs and other products - and promote more reliable and effective non-animal testing methods that already exist and are being widely used in other countries.
