I was at the Tucson Festival of Books on the University of Arizona campus. I had no idea this book fair was so big. 100,000 people attended over last weekend. I was thrilled at this evidence of people valuing books. And further evidence of the importance of animals in people&#8217;s lives. I was one of three on a panel called Animals and Healing. It was held in a lecture hall that seats 300 and the room was nearly full. I wish there had been more time for questions because I would loved to have heard from more of you in the audience. Thanks to Shirley Loose who had the inspiration to create this panel, and to Peggy Holt, our animal-loving moderator.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_108\" style=\"width: 215px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.stephaniemarohn.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/03\/Sparrow-barn.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-108\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-108\" title=\"Sparrow in the Barn\" src=\"https:\/\/www.stephaniemarohn.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/03\/Sparrow-barn-205x300.jpg\" alt=\"sparrow the tabby cat\" width=\"205\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/stephaniemarohn.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/03\/Sparrow-barn-205x300.jpg 205w, https:\/\/stephaniemarohn.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/03\/Sparrow-barn.jpg 587w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 205px) 100vw, 205px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-108\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Sparrow<\/p><\/div>\n<p>Also thanks, as usual, to all the members of my animal council who showed up to help me deliver their message.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_109\" style=\"width: 310px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.stephaniemarohn.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/03\/10.5-Syl-Uly.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-109\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-109\" title=\"Sylphide and Ulysses\" src=\"https:\/\/www.stephaniemarohn.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/03\/10.5-Syl-Uly-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"mother and child donkeys\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"https:\/\/stephaniemarohn.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/03\/10.5-Syl-Uly-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/stephaniemarohn.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/03\/10.5-Syl-Uly-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/stephaniemarohn.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/03\/10.5-Syl-Uly.jpg 1600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-109\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Sylphide and Ulysses (photo: Regina Kretschmer)<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Back again.
