Name:

I am an aspiring writer and dedicated mommy who hopes to leave the world a little better than I found it. Of course, from what I can tell, as long as I don't drop-kick the world into a giant vat of sewage, I will have accomplished that goal.

Curiousity and the Cat

Curiousity may not have killed the cat - but it did cause her to capsize T.'s carry-on size black suitcase (and incidentally, herself) off of his weight bench. After I wandered over and straigtened out the mess . . . shaking my head sadly at the pulverized box-top to one of A.'s puzzles . . . she demonstrated yet another old saying. If you fall off the horse, you should get right back in the saddle. Her little fuzzy fat butt is firmly planted in T.'s suitcase again.

My kitties are definitely not the brightest boos in the box. (And before you say "awww . . . they can't be that bad . . ." TWO YEARS, and they still haven't figured out they can jump the three-foot high baby-gate.)

UPDATE regarding The Wild Animal Sanctuary: For those who have not heard, Colorado has an awesome wildlife refuge that takes in abused and abandoned wolves, bears, tigers, lions, and other exotic animals from private owners who are unable to properly care for them.

The news that the Sanctuary was closing was met with an overwhelming response, and as financial donations have poured in, there is now a POSSIBILITY that the Sanctuary may be able to survive. However, the Sanctuary cannot (and should not) commit to staying open unless the public displays a commitment to support them. To this end, the Sanctuary is asking for participation in a PLEDGE PROGRAM – whereby individuals can demonstrate their LONG-TERM SUPPORT by pledging a certain amount per month/paycheck/etc. They also have ADOPT AN ANIMAL programs that function in a similar manner. PLEASE BE A PART OF THE FIGHT TO SAVE THESE BEAUTIFUL ANIMALS!!! Adopt an animal or make a pledge today!

With the Holiday Season approaching, now is a perfect time to make a pledge in the name of a loved one – and give a gift that literally means the difference between Life and Death. What a great opportunity to discuss why we should respect all Life with our children!
