Ava the Super Deaf Cat in Action!

Due to popular demand, here's some shots of Ava the Super Deaf Cat in action! You'll see her tap my arm to get my attention. She's smaller than my other hearing cat, Taz, but she kicks his butt. My hearing sister says Ava has a Deaf 'meow' - not some horrible screech, but a cute Deaf meow. Enjoy :)

The world is not in any sense in danger from itself. The world is in fact not in any danger at all. It is we who are in danger.

-Daniel Quinn

The measure of a society is found in how they treat their weakest and most helpless citizens. As Americans, we are blessed with circumstances that protect our human rights and our religious freedom, but for many people around the world, deprivation and persecution have become a way of life

-Jimmy Carter

The hottest place in Hell is reserved for those who remain neutral in times of great moral conflict (and even hotter for hostile comments posted by 'anonymous' or by people with pseudonyms ;) )

-Martin Luther King, Jr., parentheses by raychelle

We don't see things as they are; we see them as we are

-Anais Nin

Washing one's hands of the conflict between the powerful and the powerless means to side with the powerful, not to be neutral

-Paulo Freire

The greatness of a nation and its moral progress can be judged by the way its animals are treated... I hold that, the more helpless a creature, the more entitled it is to protection by man from the cruelty of man

-Mahatma Gandhi

We can only see what we know.

-Goethe

A cochlear implant is a tool. Just like a pager. Just like a iPod. Just like a computer. Just like glasses. Just like a plane. Just like lip-smacking 6-inch platform heels :) We want the world, therefore we should have it. We're not any less Deaf when we do.

History is the version of past events that people have decided to agree upon

-Napoleon Bonparte (think about the term 'people' and who that represents. obviously, not all of us)

Live your life as an exclamation!

Not as an explanation.

(haven't you noticed by now that I love exclamations!!! and smiley faces :0))

.::Live Simply so that Others May Simply Live::. - Gandhi

FUBU. For us, by us. Support deaf and signing businesses for all your needs whenever possible.

There is no such thing as disability, but varying degrees of abilities. -Henry Viscardi
