I’m no Olivia (*waves*), but today was a cloud-picture-worthy day!

Snowflake, rescued the day before Thanksgiving, 2008. She was found running around with a shattered leg after someone reported seeing her being kicked around by some high-schoolers. It took three weeks for Animal Control to catch her, but catch her they did. Her leg had to be removed, but she’s made a remarkable recovery. She’s gained a whole pound since she found a new home with us and now weighs a healthy 7.5 lbs.

Merry Christmas to all, most especially to those who brought Snowflake to me and to everyone who works to give a second chance to unwanted and abused animals.

PLEASE spay and neuter your pets. And adopt from a shelter or rescue organization, rather than buy. And never, ever get a dog from a pet store or puppy mill.

Thank you, Keith.

The same day overwhelming numbers of Californians sent a message of inclusion by voting for Barack Obama for President, a narrow majority added a disheartening asterisk by passing Prop. 8 thereby denying EQUAL (not special, not more — equal) rights to gays and lesbians. Rights they already had. Rights that were removed.


You don’t believe in gay marriage? Fine, then don’t get one. But who are you that you get to decide that gays and lesbians are not allowed the same rights as you are? What difference does someone else’s marriage make to your marriage. None, that’s what. Go find one of your gay friends or co-workers — you likely have one — look them straight in the face and say, “sorry, I just couldn’t let you have this”. As if it’s yours to give anyway.


Argh. I apologize on behalf of my state. I’m sorry we let you down.

I keep pinching myself!

President Barack Obama.

Yes, we did.

Yes, we will.

VOTE!
