When I happened upon this lonely little four-leaf Clover,
She was wilted, trampled on, stomped over by life.
A life she didn’t deserve. A life that left scars.

But I picked her. I picked her because I knew she was special.
I planted her in my home and nourished her with plenty of love.

And then, an amazing thing happened: she began to blossom!

She grew into the most beautiful good luck charm.

At times a lovely, delicate flower …

… but will all the sass of a fiery Irish redhead!

If you don’t know Clover’s story, ask me sometime …

Happy St. Patrick’s Day from Clover … and Snuggles, too!

McDONALDS PULLS AD

February 7, 2012/in News

LOS ANGELES — McDonald’s apologized and pulled an ad that came back to bite them.

The ad that said eating a Chicken McBite was less risky than petting a pit bull enraged pit bull owners and their defenders.

McDonald’s spokeswoman Ashlee Yingling said Monday the Kansas City-area radio ad for Chicken McBites ran just a few days before it was pulled Friday.

The company issued an apology by email and social media sites and people who called a toll free number got a recorded apology.

Rachele Lizarraga of Sacramento says she found it reckless so she started a Facebook site and an online petition.

Some critics said McDonald’s should also donate to pit bull causes or use a pit in an ad.

No word from McDonald’s on those ideas.

Bluebird (Chloe) adoption update

January 16, 2012/in Adoption Stories & Updates

Hello!

I just wanted to send a quick update on Chloe. So far she is doing great and has adjusted very well. We’ve had a few routine visits with the vet including one today. Her blood was rechecked and shows her anemia has improved significantly in the past week. We will now start to taper her Prednisone and recheck again next week.

Her coat looks really good. There are a few thin spots but nothing serious. We are not actively treating the demodex right now since her coat looks good.

Health issues aside she is a perfect dog. Chloe hardly ever barks. Her activity level is normal and she loves going on walks. She is still getting used to some house rules but we’ll keep working on that. She is so loving and loved just as much in return.

I can’t thank you enough for letting me bring her home and for taking good care of her over the years. I attached a few pictures of her. I will keep you updated on how she’s doing and feel free to contact me if you want to check in on her.
