Hi friends! Reef the fox here with your weekly “Reef’s Report. ”I hope you all enjoyed my interview with Fred the Tree last week. I am in the process of lining up some more amazing interviews for you all.
Two weeks ago, my mom, Pawsitive Beginnings Inc. founder Nicole Navarro, and Kai headed to Key West for an action-packed day with the Key West Police Department (KWPD). Chief Sean Brandenburg invited mom down to talk about Pawsitive Beginnings and the work we are doing within Monroe County via our one-of-a-kind animal-assisted therapy program.
Mom and Kai started the day with a visit to the mounted patrol barn, where Kai got to meet the horses face to face. Mila, Murph and Rey (horses) were all extremely fascinated with little Kai and his very distinct foxy smell. Murph especially would have liked to keep Kai as a saddlebag buddy, as he just couldn’t stay away and kept sniffing him with his big horsey snoot. Mom said it was really adorable, and hysterical.
Then they made their way to KWPD headquarters where mom spoke to the command staff about us foxes, where we came from and how our stories of survival, from fur farms to freedom, are changing the way people heal here in the Florida Keys. We will have some exciting updates about new organizations that will be bringing their clients to come meet us and some presentations we will be doing within the community in the coming weeks, so make sure you are following us on social media if you aren’t already.
Since we have been talking about Key West today, I want to highlight a really fun event that is coming up and benefits one of my favorite places. The Cow Key Bridge Run 2024 presents “Cow Wars 2024 – May The 4th Be With Moo!” Get ready for an epic showdown at Cow Key Bridge Run on Saturday, May 4 at noon. Challenge your friends to see who can moo the loudest and strut their stuff on the bridge. There will be prizes for the best costumes, so get creative and bring your A-game. All proceeds go toward charity. We will be benefiting the MCSO’s Animal Farm and the Highgate Charitable Foundation.
Anywho, that’s all for this week. Be sure to keep up with all things fox by visiting pawsitivebeginnings.org and heading to our social media links.
Until next time, Reef, over and out!
