PLEASE HELP - Even if it's just $2 or $3!

 UPDATE - Only $190 more is needed To Save Annie!

 PLEASE HELP!!!!!!! 

 I'm posting  a plea for help. 

I have a dear friend...who is in need of immediate assistance!

 

Leah is the one who rescued my Gabe, and trained him for me.

(Gabe is my Service Dog) 

 (Here is Tony with Gabe - date is screwed

up on their camera, this was early last Sept.)

 

She and her husband, Tony, took me into their home while she worked 

with the two of us. 

 (Leah and her Service Dog, Ace)

These two wonderful people, routinely rescue dogs on "death row", 

see that they are vetted,  and then work  with them until 

forever homes are found!

Leah is a retired RN, and certified horse/dog trainer, 

and "bully breed" educator. 

Tony is a Viet Nam Veteran, Recon Marine. 

She and Tony, volunteer their time and talent, 

to help bring dogs and families together. 

They work tirelessly, to help groups pair trained dogs 

with veterans with PTSD, 

along with training dogs, themselves, for this purpose.

 

Starhaven Farm has just recently been approved as an

official Pit Bull rescue sight.

 

Right now, they have an emergency situation.

They are in desperate need of $300 by Sunday night. 

They must complete a new kennel by tomorrow evening,  

in order to save a dog that is scheduled to be put down on Monday morning. Without the additional kennel, the kill shelter will not release the dog to them. 

The concrete slab in already down, and Leah and Tony will do all the labor, 

but they just don't have the extra cash needed this weekend 

to purchase the actual "kennel".

If we all pull together, I know that we can raise the neccessary funds, 

in the next 24 hours.  

I've just sent $10, won't you please donate a few dollars, and then spread the word?

Let's show the world what I already know about bloggers...

that we are THE BEST.  

They we care of one another, are kind, thoughtful and helpful. 

We don't stand still when there is work to be done!

Thank you, than you all. Thank you so very very much!

I'm Confused

I went to buy Chicken Wire.

There is no such thing at our local building/garden 

supply store.

I came home with 

Poultry Netting!

 Is this something new, or has it always been called poultry netting?

My Redneck Garden

My husband didn't want to dig up the back yard, 
so I came up with this. I stole the idea
from a friend.

The plants in the photo above, all grew out of my compost pile!

Green bell peppers and tomatoes.

A few herbs, and some lovely Gerbera Daisies.

Looky What I WON!

And my family teases me about my Twittering:-)

WHEN I'M A LITTLE OLD LADY

WHEN I'M A LITTLE OLD LADY

When I'm a little old lady
Then I'll live with my children
and bring them great joy.

To repay all I've had
from each girl and boy
I shall draw on the walls

and scuff up the floor;
Run in and out
without closing the door.

I'll hide frogs in the pantry,
socks under my bed.

Whenever they scold me,
I'll hang my head.

I'll run and I'll romp,
always fritter away
The time to be spent
doing chores every day.

I'll pester my children
when they are on the phone.

As long as they're busy
I won't leave them alone.

Hide candy in closets,
rocks in a drawer,
And never pick up my clothes
from the floor.

Dash off to the movies
and not wash a dish.

I'll plead for allowance
whenever I wish.

I'll stuff up the plumbing
and deluge the floor.
As soon as they've mopped it,
I'll flood it some more.

When they correct me,
I'll lie down and cry,
Kicking and screaming,
not a tear in my eye.

I'll take all their pencils
and flashlights, and then
When they buy new ones,
I'll take them again.

I'll spill glasses of milk

to complete every meal,
Eat my banana and
just drop the peel.

Put toys on the table,
spill jam on the floor,
I'll break lots of dishes

as though I were four.

What fun I shall have,
what joy it will be to
Live with my children....
the way they lived with me!
