HEALING SURVIVORS

OVERCOMING TRAUMA THROUGH A VIDEO & A FOX VISIT

Hi friends!

Reef is a red fox that was saved from a fur farm. He now lives in Key Largo with his human, Nicole Navarro.

Reef the fox here with your weekly “Reef’s Report.” The last week was pretty uneventful for me personally. No groundbreaking news to report on, no new animals coming to the Keys and no fun celebrities came to visit.

I think that last part needs to change. I would really love to meet Tim Gunn or Stella McCartney.

My mother, on the other hand, had an eventful weekend. She had to brave the traffic and head up to Home Depot to place the large order to be delivered for Libby and Louie’s new enclosure upgrade. Mom said it was “awful” and that she is “never driving on the stretch on the weekend ever again.”

Mom also participated in a panel after the screening of “Real Fur” on Tuesday evening. This was a private, online event, hosted by the production company and director, Taimoor Choudry. You might remember that my fox friends and I made a cameo appearance in this documentary that raises awareness of the fur trade, particularly in Canada. Mom got to talk about what it is like caring for foxes once they have been saved from fur farms, our health issues, our specific needs and how amazing we are as a species, which should never have been ripped from the wild over one century ago for something as ridiculous as a fashion item. Anyway, when this film becomes available to the public, I will let you all know.

On Friday, April 28, my mom and little Kai fox will visit Kinder in the Keys. If you weren’t aware, Pawsitive Beginnings and Kinder in the Keys recently partnered to bring their clients a unique opportunity to meet survivors of a different species. Partnering with Kinder in the Keys to share the stories of survival from the fox’s perspective has proven to be a healing experience for the women. Realizing that these animals, which were born into a life of suffering and trauma, once rescued, have overcome their past and now live a life that they never knew was possible, has given hope to the women that they can do the same. Trauma knows no boundaries when it comes to species. Every sentient being on the planet is susceptible to being exposed to trauma in various forms.

Word on the street is we may be creating a new partnership with another organization in town, but I won’t know more until next week. So again, I will keep you posted.

Anywho, that’s all for this week. Follow along on all of our social media pages by heading to our website and clicking the links on the bottom of the page at pawsitivebeginnings. org.

Until next time, Reef, over and out!

This big boy is still looking for his furever home. Samson is about 4 years old and the sweetest boy you could ever meet. He is a very interesting mixed breed and extremely handsome. He is a big, 80-pound boy, but he has short legs like a bassett, while his big head looks more like an Akita. Samson gets along with other dogs, he’s doing pretty well with cats, he loves children and is super sweet and gentle. He even has his own Facebook page, thanks to his amazing foster family. If you would like to meet Samson, please complete an application at www.mprescues.org, or attend the adoption event at MarrVelous Pet Rescues from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Sunday, April 30.

IN THE CIRCUIT COURT OF THE SIXTEENTH JUDICIAL CIRCUIT IN AND FOR MONROE COUNTY, FLORIDA PROBATE DIVISION

FILE NO.: 23-CP-000047-P

IN RE: ESTATE OF JEAN ELLEN PINDER, Deceased.

NOTICE OF ADMINISTRATION

The administration of the estate of Jean Ellen Pinder, deceased, is pending in the Circuit Court for Monroe County, Florida, Probate Division, the address of which is 88770 Overseas Highway, Suite 2, Plantation Key, Florida 33070.

The file number for the estate is 23-CP-000047-P. The estate is testate and the date of the decedent’s Will is March 23, 2017.

The names and addresses of the personal representative and the personal representative's attorney are set forth below. The fiduciary lawyer-client privilege in Section 90.5021, Florida Statutes, applies with respect to the personal representative and any attorney employed by the personal representative.

Any interested person on whom a copy of the notice of administration is served must file with the court, on or before the date that is 3 months after the date of service of a copy of the Notice of Administration on that person, any objection that challenges the validity of the will or any codicils, venue, or jurisdiction of the court. The 3 month time period may only be extended for estoppel based upon a misstatement by the personal representative regarding the time period within which an objection must be filed. The time period may not be extended for any other reason, including affirmative representation, failure to disclose information, or misconduct by the personal representative or any other person. Unless sooner barred by section 733.212(3), Florida Statutes, all objections to the validity of a will or any codicils, venue or the jurisdiction of the court must be filed no later than the earlier of the entry of an order of final discharge of the personal representative or 1 year after service of the notice of administration.

Persons who may be entitled to exempt property under section 732.402, Florida Statutes, will be deemed to have waived their rights to claim that property as exempt property unless a petition for determination of exempt property is filed by such persons or on their behalf on or before the later of the date that is 4 months after the date of service of a copy of the notice of administration on such persons or the date that is 40 days after the date of termination of any proceedings involving the construction, admission to probate, or validity of the will or involving any other matter affecting any part of the exempt property.

Unless an extension is granted pursuant to section 732.2135(2), Florida Statutes, an election to take an elective share must be filed on or before the earlier of the date that is 6 months after the date of service of a copy of the notice of administration on the surviving spouse, an agent under chapter 709, Florida Statutes, or a guardian of the property of the surviving spouse; or the date that is 2 years after the date of the decedent's death. Under certain circumstances and by failing to contest the will, the recipient of the notice of administration may be waiving his or her right to contest the validity of a trust or other writing incorporated by reference into a will.
