ALFRED TRUJILLO here! Bringing you the post that Cara probably wouldn't make!
Ok, guys, gals, everyone outside, and in between...I want to tell ya some stuff about Cara. Let me just start by saying that this woman is my absolute hero. Absolute. Hero.
Story time! Late February. Oklahoma. Nighttime. After a long weekend of convention sandwiched between two sleepless drives, Cara spent hours calling to make sure the pregnant dog we almost hit driving through was ok (more about this in pics). When we learned momma dog would have to give birth in an outside community kennel where dogs had recently died of exposure in the Oklahoma cold, Cara felt we should do something. A few days later, we decided to go and get this dog, make sure she was healthy for birth, and take care of her and the pups until they could be adopted. So, we drove 777 miles there to get her, 777 miles back straight through (we ended up adopting another dog they didn't have arrangements for on that day too). Cara researched what food was best for Momma dog, hand fed her and helped her every step of the way. She cleaned birth...stuff. Cleaned incontinence. Made sure minimal bruising happened at pup feedings. It has been a lot of extra work but Cara has never complained and has always been vigilant of mom and pups. And look at the pups! They may not be alive or healthy if it wasn't for Cara. I want to take credit too. But this was her.
Of course, this isn't all she has done to inspire me through the years; Cara's constant passion and action for change in family rights, politics, animals and community are worthy of praise. I know! You think I'm a suck up. So what! All that I know is that since I've met her, I have learned a lot, I have been supported in everything I do and have been driven and inspired by her in ways I could have never imagined.
Anyway, I should go to bed so I don't miss picking her up at the airport in the morning...after she did a weekend of con, and is now flying back early to work on repairing our new house before a huge move.
Also, thanks to everyone that came to my So I Married a Cosplayer panel at Con-Nichiwa this weekend...it was incredibly fun to talk about life with such a fantastic person and I would do it again in a heartbeat. ♡
ALMOST FORGOT: One pup might still need a family (phoenix area). Send us a message if you have leads on a home for him.
Oh, and SHARE THIS with your friends and family 🙂
