Jon to the RESCUE!!!!!

About 2 weeks ago I was watching the 10 o'clock news. A sad sad sad story came on about abandoned animals. A woman here along with a group of real estate agents started a rescue mission 3 months ago called Lost Our Home Pet Foundation. It was started due to the increasing number of animals being found in foreclosed homes that have been left for dead. This group is AMAZING!!! They take animals into "foster" homes and re-train them for a forever home. They also have 2 sub programs: Furry Friends of Foster- A TEMPORARY placement where someone could get there pet back when they get a place!!! And Furry Friends Food Bank- For people who are wanting to drop an animal due to expenses in this economy....They help with food, litter and such! How WONDERFUL right! So I decide to see what it takes to be a foster parent for them and believe it or not...as long as you have a roof and love they are willing to do the rest!! So the next thing i know......I am now the foster coordinator and helping with some PR. I also have fosters here and went on my very own rescue mission.

This is Buddy it took us over 2 hours to lure him into coming with us. he was SO scared! As the story was told to me by the agent he did a "cash for key" where they pay them to leave a foreclosed property. They told him they would be back that night for the dog and the rest of the items the had left on the porch. Then a week later the stuff was gone but the dog was still there. The neighbors had been giving him food and water but he WATCHED his people leave him!! EVIL humans!! Well I better go and play with the zoo I have started lots to do now! YAY something worthwhile and uplifting too! YAY me!!!!

Memory Tag

Here's how you play:
1. As a comment on my blog, leave one memory that you and I had together. It doesn't matter if you knew me a little or a lot, anything you remember.
2. Next, re-post these instructions on your blog and see how many people leave a memory of you.

It's actually pretty funny to read the responses. If you leave a memory about me, I'll assume you're playing the game and I'll come to your blog and leave one about you. If you don't want to play on your blog, or if you don't have a blog, I'll leave my memory of you in my comments.

Bored Poetry!!

Dare To Care….

about the girl they call a whore
bruised and broken on her bedroom floor
looking for love the way she knows how
never to take that most solemn vow

about the boy they call a fag
hanging as high as the American flag
removed from this world by a persons hate
standing so young at Heavens gate

The people you stepped on to get where you are
How bad did you hurt them? Will they scar?
Remember the ones who showed you the way
And always look to a brighter day

We are the ones who can change the way
It just takes one second from every day
Remember that things are not what you see
And then your soul can truly be FREE
