Some People......

A dog has no use for fancy cars, big homes, or designer clothes. A water log stick will do just fine. A dog doesn't care if your rich or poor, clever or dull, smart or dumb. Give him your heart and he'll give you his. How many people can you say that about? How many people can make you feel rare and pure and special? How many people can make you feel extraordinary?

Today was an interesting day. As usual I worked on my website, and still don't feel any closer to launching it than I did when I started this adventure. Frustrating to say the least! I also got on Facebook, as I usually do, and I must say I am disappointed in my so called friends. My friend Magdalena and I are HUGE animal lovers, and we always posting posts for dogs that are in desperate need of homes. You know, I can post a bullshit post about nothing at all, and I will get 20 smartass responses. When I post that means something or is done to try and make a difference in an animals life, most people go silent. I am aware that not everyone can adopt every dog I post that needs a home, but I even ask for their help in gathering donations for the shelters, and again, NOTHING! These people profess their love for animals and even have pets of their own, yet they do nothing and make NO EFFORT at all to try and help even in the smallest way. I mean who doesnt have cleaning supplies, old towels/blankets or $5 to donate for a good cause. What irks me and other animal lovers I know is these people spend all kinds of money drinking themselves into oblivian on a daily basis, but cant spare a hand or a dollar for something meaningful! It just really breaks my heart. I mean who do these animals have to help them and keep them safe and fed if people dont help them. They dont have a voice- they rely on us to make sure they are safe and cared for! I dont know, I guess I cant really be angry at these people, but I am finding it hard to not be disappointed in them. And its not just animals either. I see a few other people posting to get sponsors and donations for sick children, families in need and other causes as well, and the same thing happens. People just act as if they didnt even see the post at all! What has happened to this world. The less fortunate need wonderful people in times of illness and tragedy. One day, they will be faced with a tragedy or another cause that is dear in the heart, and will ask for help. Lets hope for their sake, their pleas dont fall on deaf ears. Enough ranting about that I guess. It is just that I am stunned at how little some people care unless it directly involves themselves. Sad sad sad.....

On a happier note, I got to hang out with my sister last night. We had a really good time and actually enjoyed a few beers together. She is so funny to hang out with. We had dinner, watched some of The Hangover, talked with the kids and "wrapped" her husbands car with toilet paper. Haha.... only after she woke up at 6am, she immediately ran outside and cleaned it all up before he saw it. I cant blame her, she didnt want to start his mood off on a bad note! I even think wrapping it was the best part anyway. We had fun laughing and acting like kids again! I miss my sister and the fun times we have! I swear if only I had brought the video camera over you all could witness the mayhem and see just how much fun we had!

I also received the best message today from my dad... he went to MD Anderson this weekend for more tests, and he is doing WONDERFUL. He was diagnosed with prostate cancer back in 2006 I think, and so far after his treatments, he is doing great! Miracles happen everyday, and I know this maybe better than most people. My dad is a living miracle, and so am I!!! Keep praying for us both to stay healthy and to keep moving forward.

I think I should get off of this computer (it seems like a new appendage that I have grown recently) and try to get some sleep- attempt to get some at least! I highly doubt I will fall asleep anytime soon, but wish me luck. And to all of my beautiful friends and family- God Bless you all and dont forget I LOVE YOU ALL!!!!!

Here are some pics of my "babies" (remember, I have 5- I must be nuts right??)......  now if I could just help other animals to.. thats my goal anyway!
