    I already mentioned this to Sarah S., but let me know if you need help that day. I can wrangle puppies, dangle treats, etc. That'd be my contribution to the cause!

    hi mindy! cuteness! we are going to offer multiple dogs with an additional fee (TBD). all money raised goes directly to NKLA though, so it'll be worth it!

    @mary- you know i won't be able to help myself!!! 🙂

    Sounds like a wonderful event, wish I could attend (a little challenging since I live Denver).

    I wanted to bring this to your attention since you are a fellow dog lover.

    I came across a story online last week about a woman who had helped a man get his dog back from a
    high kill dog shelter in San Bernadino. He didn't have the $400 required to get his dog back after it had been taken away (unpaid traffic tickets?). She regularly takes pictures of the little angels in hopes of getting them adopted ASAP before they are killed. I thought maybe sharing this link with your readers
    might get the word out about this high kill shelter (only 5 days to get adopted or killed:( )

    Her name is Maria Sanchez (please visit her Facebook page). The shelter is the San Bernadino City Shelter.

    As far as I’m concerned the Alberta Liberals have been going downhill ever since they picked Grant Mitchell as leader back in the 90′s. How anybody can pick somebody who is 5’7″ or less is beyond me. Maybe you can get away with it if they were a barroom scrapper but Mitchell was no barroom scrapper.You need somebody you can see over the podium. It’s all about projection. The highest compliment you can give a politician is this: Dumb as a post but in control.

    I like how this article is direct. The main points are accurate, unique and interesting in my opinion. There aren’t many articles with great content out there like this one.

    I have heard that you can make money from blogging, but i really don’t understand the concept. How do you make the money? How much can you make? Is it hard? Is it easy? Is it time consuming? Is it worth it? If you could answer that would be great, thanks..

    What a great quotation. Add to that Winston Churchill:'A nation that thinks it can tax itself to prosperity is like a man standing in a bucket who thinks he can pull himself up by the handles.'(Apologies if I got that from your site 🙂 )

    PS — “Garance” n’est pas un lieu, pas plus que “Cyan”, “Céladon” ou “Zinzolin”, ce dernier mot étant de la famille de ce utilisé pour confectionner des gâteaux auxquels ils donnent leur nom. Mais il existe un “jaune de Mars” !
