Fa-Fa-Frida went full adoption this weekend. This is one of those adoptions that has us all smiling like bliss ninnies. She was 
one tough broad when she came into the Oakland Animal Services…Full of the devil when it came to other dogs. Of course we loved her. Looooved her.
TugTug reminded me the other day that Life is one big long and bumpy car ride. It’s exciting and fun and sometimes it makes us a little (or a lot) sick to our stomach. Even when we barf on the way to where we’re trying to go, the trip is made easier with a friend or two to lean on.

Nelly can’t stop smiling. Check this out!…The barn raiser is inching up, steady as she goes. We’re now only 963 bucks away from meeting Pedal Berkey’s 10K matching gift challenge! Once we hit that mark, the bar will hopscotch right up the chart – on our way to halfway home. Huzzah!
We’ve had a lot of inquiries about our reaction to the 60 Minutes interview of Michael Vick and his roll with HSUS as well, so I finally sucked it up and watched it all a short while ago.

This pretty girl’s wish was just granted. Now named ‘Minnow,’ she scored a safe haven with rescue group A Rotta Love in Minnesota.
