In April 2010, the ASPCA launched a "friendly competition to inspire innovation and showcase successful, life-saving programs" called the ASPCA $100K Challenge.
The details seemed simple: shelters needed to save a minimum of 300 more cats, dogs, kittens and puppies from August through October 2010, compared with the same three-month period in 2009 to qualify for the grand prize grant of $100,000. The winner would be the shelter that saved the most additional lives in that same time period.

The Grand Hyatt Denver is located at 1750 Welton Street – which happens to be a stone’s throw away from the 16th Street Mall!
The mall is home to 300 different stores, over 50 restaurants, and the Denver Pavilions; needless to say there are many sights and attractions right within walking distance. Another Great thing about the mall is that it is now a wireless internet hotspot where users can log in anywhere along the street, for FREE!
City Park is a few blocks directly east of the hotel and has the Denver Zoo & Denver Museum of Nature and Science right in its borders.
Near the southern end of the 16th Street Mall is the Golden Triangle Museum District. Segway tours are offered of the city, or there is the bicycle option for those more adventurous characters.
You have plenty of fun things to do, on your off time. Don't forget to share - pics, stories, and adventures.

The following tips are excerpted from Snotface Ferret's premier book titled "Tips for Organizing: the Ferret's Guide" detailing the ferret's ways of tidying one's house or office.
Organization Tip #14: Any items in a container do not
necessarily belong in said container, this includes potted plants. Garbage/Recycling receptacles, baskets of knickknacks, purses, desk organizers, and any type of bag are typical targets of this rule. Container must be on its side for easy access to the contents, which must be spread out on the ground. If the container is big enough for ferret to fit in, all of the contents must be removed to make way for ferret. (See the photo at right, for example.)

There is a cat that lives with me. Well, that is what I refer to her as and it is really the best way to describe the situation.
She is not my cat; she is actually my mother's cat that decided she would rather live some place other than my mother's house. She had taken up residence in the barn of our neighbor's house when she came to live with me in the city a few years ago. Actually, the best way to put it is she had been pouting in the neighbor's barn for a few months.
Dubbed Missy when mom first got her, she has adjusted to a urban lifestyle from her previous rural life very well.
