• Annual checkups and vaccinations. • A series of steroid injections for the cat, due to a diagnosis of irritable bowel syndrome.

• A barium swallow, X-rays and special dog food when the dog was a puppy. • Several rounds of eye drops; and I've become skilled at obtaining urine samples from the dog! • A horrible bout of kennel cough (dog) and a wet sneezy cold (cat). • Surgeries (4 for the cat and 2 for the dog.) Even as I write this, I can hardly believe that myself!

Are these pets just sicker than the ones of my youth? Are we more tuned in to their health because they live indoors, in close proximity with us? Or - did we just treat animals differently in the past, and allow more of their ailments to heal themselves? On February 3rd, 2015, a journalism project called was launched. It is the result of a media partnership between She Knows Media and Public Radio International. I accepted an invitation from to participate.

I am embarrassed that my involvement has gotten off to a slow start, but I am looking forward to sharing and writing more posts on this topic in the future. Today I am adding my voice to the #womenslives campaign by sharing a link to an article I wrote earlier, and expanding on the theme of gender equality. You can read my previous blog post and see the Always campaign video by clicking here:. Writing and journalism are now common career choices for women, although they were not always an option. My daughter has written several published articles, so perhaps it could be said that she not only swims 'like a girl,' but writes 'like one' too! In one of her recent swimming articles for, my daughter pointed out that Olympian Katie Ledecky, a high school senior, is so fast she owns an Olympic Trials qualifying time in the men's 1500m freestyle event. As my daughter eloquently put it, “all but the very best male swimmers typically understand that somewhere out there, there is a girl who can beat them.” I would expand upon that by saying that most boys/men should probably understand that somewhere out there, there is a girl/woman who can accomplish as much or more of nearly anything that they can do. (I said “nearly” because there are a few things in life that biologically only men can do, and others that only women can do!) Our society is beginning to understand that accomplishments are not often defined by gender.

Efforts such as the “Like a Girl” campaign are in-part responsible for this changing mindset. Proof of this is how tremendously popular the hashtag #likeagirl became, when the video aired as a commercial during Super Bowl Sunday. I read a written criticism of the 'like a girl' slogan by someone who pointed out that “athletes are athletes,” and since we don't say “like a boy” why should we say “like a girl”? My argument would be that we must say it. It is only by associating these words with what a girl can truly accomplish, that we can break the previous stereotype associated with the phrase. Ideally, hopefully soon, there will be no limitation of accomplishments imposed, implied or assumed by gender; and efforts - whether male or female - will be equally recognized and compensated. What is an example of gender inequality you feel needs to be changed?
