31 Million Dog Owners and Counting

by Yvonne DiVita

While this post will mention one political figure running for election, the post is not a political stance. It's an "I love my pet" stance. My hope is to make sure everyone knows this information. I'm amazed at how many good people with pets, especially beloved dogs, don't know about it. To me, it's important. It should inform anyone's decision on voting in the fall.

When I read about Mitt Romney putting his dog, Seamus, on top of his car, in an "air-tight kennel" whatever that means (air tight - so he couldn't breathe? or air tight so the wind couldn't get in or what?) on top of his car and drove for 12 hours with his family inside the car...for vacation... I was more than appalled. I was astonished. Who would do such a thing?

Worse yet, who would do it and then defend it? Read on.

It's All About Home, Isn't It?

Because it's that time of year, when 'home' means so much. I could not resist sharing this. As noted on Facebook, where I first saw it, it's the anti-Michael Vick story.

Bat World Sanctuary

Once again, something related to an animal outside of our normal range of 'thinking'. I enjoyed this so much, I thought Lil' Drac would inspire many of you, also. Who knew bats had 'personality'? I hope you'll all visit Bat World Sanctuary, too. And like their Facebook page. ~ Yvonne DiVita

 

Kindness Card for sharing

Here's the story, as it appeared on Facebook at Humanity's Team - and below, the Kindness Card, with a link to allow you to print more - for handing out as you go about your holiday shopping. Let's pay it forward, folks.

Humanity's Team

Kindness....Yesterday I was at the post office....waiting in line behind several others as they waited with packages in hand. A very small, Vietnamese woman approached the counter who spoke no English. The postal worker was less than patient with this woman when asking what was inside the Vietnamese woman's package because the Vietnamese woman clearly didn't speak English. The Vietnamese woman pulled out her cell phone to get help with translation and attempted to hand the phone to the postal worker who put her hands in the air and said, "I will not talk to anyone on your cell phone." The Vietnamese woman didn't understand so she extended her arm to the postal worker and the postal worker just got louder as she refused to speak on the Vietnamese woman's cell phone. By now everyone's attention was peaked...the next customer (a woman) in line took the cell phone and spoke to the person on the other end of the cell phone. Then the good Samaritan said, "It's papers." To which the postal worker promptly accepted the package. I got out of line and handed the good Samaritan a kindness card and the Vietnamese woman hugged the good Samaritan. It's not the hard to be kind. ♥ nannette
