For Beagle’s Sake

It’s heartbreaking for me to even think about this situation, but if there are people strong and compassionate enough to perform the rescue, then the very least I can do is help draw much needed attention to the plight these creatures face.

Internal Beauty

Tweet I recently came across a blog written by Yogi Cameron, and although I’m approaching his teachings with a healthy dose of scepticism (as I do every newcomer or new idea in my life) this excerpt brought a broad smile to my face…and eyes “Real youth is seen in a person’s eyes not the skin....

Gulf = “self”

Tweet I am saddened by the Gulf shore visitors and, in general, their response to the growing crisis.  I actually saw a shot of a beach-goer who was in tears because his “vacation was ruined” as he watched the beginnings of the spill wash ashore.  This was promptly followed by parents venting  about having to change their...

Cowards and Barnyards

Tweet I really am stunned and sadened by what I read yesterday in one of my favorite magazines The Week @theweek.com In a direct quote from page 6. “Bad week for: Sheep, after the Florida Legislature failed to pass a proposed law banning bestiality, despite pleas from prosecutors and animal-rights activists.  Legislators avoid voting on the...

Cocoa on the ground?

Tweet     Please  tell  every dog or cat owner you know. Even if  you don’t have a pet,  please pass this to those  who do. Over the weekend,   the doting owner of two young lab mixes  purchased Cocoa Mulch  from Target to  use in their garden. The dogs loved the way   it...

‘Crotch-Rockets’ and Duck Feet

Tweet It’s that time of year again.  For lovers of two wheels, springtime sunshine renews the urge to twist the throttle and lean it over in the corners (are we still talking about motorcycles?).  Having highlighted my obvious love affair with two-wheeled wonders of all shapes and sizes, I have to admit that along with...

No Dumping!

Tweet We’ve all seen that warning somewhere but never realized that it might apply to the deep blue sea. Take a look at this!  http://science.howstuffworks.com/great-pacific-garbage-patch.htm  It’s from one of my favorite websites www.howstuffworks.com and will give you an idea as to how much damage all our non-biodegradable bits and pieces of garbage can do to the environment...

Tutus and Wieners

Tweet Perhaps even Tutus ON Wieners!! Let’s collectively pull our minds out of the gutter (although that image did bring a smile to my face) and talk about cat couture and designer dogie duds. Although our temperatures are soaring into the mid 60′s this week I’m STILL seeing a number of folks parading around town with their...

Naked…

Tweet Now that I have your attention I’ll pass along a few driving tips.  From personal experience over the last 24 hours I think Atlantans could use a few reminders when it comes to severe weather motoring.  At CBS Atlanta we’ve covered several stories where drivers hit a patch of ice that sent them sliding...

Keep It Clean

Tweet Here’s a thought – according to the Sierra Club, the average two-stroke leaf blower produces 143 times the immisions of a late model car during a single hour of usage! While walking my dogs this past week the air in my neighborhood was fouled up with exuast fumes – not to mention headache inducing...
