Ellen's Show Where she Features Animal Fascility

Below is a clip from one of her shows, where she talks with someone who works at a dog fascility. At the end she promotes her pet food "Halo", in which she donated $10,000 worth to the Dogtown fascility.


I buy "Halo" for my cat, and I wouldn't feed him anything else now. The #1 ingredient you will notice is meat... only good whole meat... no chicken meal or other nasty ingredients. Every ingredient on the bag is understandable. I wouldn't want to feed him anything that I wouldn't eat.
If you're an animal lover, you gotta try Halo... check your local stores.




NO THIS IS NOT A PAID POST... THIS IS JUST MY OPINION. When I find something I strongly like, I like to share it with everyone!

How Diabeties Changed My Life and Could Yours



I came across the blog Hollywood Chic: Lavish Tastes on a Frugal Budget for the Glamour Girl in All of Us, and one of her posts caught my eye... I just had to link & include her post in my blog. Her post really touched my heart and I wanted to share it with everyone, as it has important information.

Included below is the first paragraph from her post, which has been given permission to be published on my blog.



How Diabetes Changed My Life and Could Yours
 
 



Two months prior my heart broke when I discovered that my canine-child, Ruby, had went blind overnight; without warning signs, she hopped into my bed visually seeing her surroundings yet awoke to open her darling eyes to pitch black blindness. Tests revealed that Ruby suffered a very intensive sudden onset of diabetic keatoneacidosis and that there was nothing we could have done prior to help her; her glucose tested over 1,000 where as canine normal is between 80 and 100 -- like humans. The last two months had been that of heartbreak as I attempt to cope with the fact my baby is blind, most time blaming myself and feeling there should have been something I could have or should have done for her; regardless of my self-hatred the vet claims with such sudden onset I couldn’t have saved my beloved girl’s vision.

Do You Know The Answer?

I was just wondering if anyone knew the answer to a question I have... my cat Mr Jingles is just over two years of age, and was neutered at six months. Is it possible that he would still hump my arm, or am I just imagining it?! I have been noticing the last few weeks that he has been humping my arm. Now I'm not sure if I'm just over reacting... I could be. Jingles was massaging my arm with his paws and biting me... and then started humping me!!!

Anyone know the answer to this? Is it normal for a neutered cat to start humping?!!!

Toronto Humane Society Yesterday

Good morning everyone and Happy Hump Day! Yes... that means that it's a Wednesday and the week is half over. Hmmm... okay so it doesn't really apply to me right now since I'm still a nerd and haven't found work.

Yesterday I had an interview with The Humane Society for administration assistant. I sooooooooooooooo want this job. The girl that interviewed me said that I would find out by the end of the week if I got the job. Oh, I'm praying that I get it. This is my dream job... well sort of... it would be my dream job if I was doing this and got paid like a million dollars! I know I wouldn't get paid that much since it's a charitable organization, but I don't care. I have wanted to go into animal care for so long and this is my chance. Please all my furry friends pray that I get it. I would be the one processing the adoptions and all the animals that come into the building as well.

When I was there for interview I had to check out all the animals of course. It was so depressing the numbers of animals... lines and lines of cages all over of furry animals that needed love. There were so many animals that even cages were lined up in the hallways because of running out of room. It makes me so angry that people don't take responsibility and spay and neuter their animals. If they did this half of the animals wouldn't be sitting in those cages. It's also so sad because so many of the animals are full grown and were brought back in their old age... some because of medical expenses, and some just because they didn't want them anymore. I don't know about you... but no way would I ever bring Jingles into a shelter because of medical expenses. I would be keeping Jingles forever... he is a part of my family, my best friend... and I would never abandon him.

PEOPLE PLEASE BEFORE GETTING A PET THINK IT THROUGH... UNLESS YOU'RE WILLING TO PAY ANY MEDICAL EXPENSE AND PLAN TO HAVE THE ANIMAL FOR LIFE... DO NOT ADOPT OR BUY A PET... IT IS NOT FAIR TO THE ANIMAL.

Still Need Job

Hey everyone... Happy Monday! I guess it's more happy Monday for me since I'm still jobless! I enjoy lounging around the apartment, but now I'm getting bored being home. My anxiety is quite bad at the moment that I don't even go out for a walk. While being off from work I have put on even more weight...I am now at my highest weight ever. I am scared to death that I keep going the way I'm going and will be over 300Lbs. I have to kick into gear and get fit.

I do have some good news...I have an interview tomorrow with the Toronto Humane Society, for administration. I would be working in the main location downtown which would be awesome. I just pray that I get this job. I would take this lower paying job over any other job as it is in the field that I want to work in. I believe it only pays $10/hr, but being able to work with animals in the shelter is more important to me then anything. So everyone say a prayer for me that they offer the job to me on the spot tomorrow...I need my furry friends to pray for me!

I Hate People!

I have come to a conclusion in all this job searching...I want to go back to school. Now that I've worked many shit jobs and many years of kissing asses to keep a job...I realise that I don't want to really work with the public anymore! I guess I shouldn't really be applying for customer service jobs!!! But right now I have to take what I can get. If you're a regular reader of my blog then you already know that I love animals. I want to become a vet...or a vet assistant. Hell, I even wouldn't mind working in a kennel or an animal shelter. Most of these jobs don't pay enough for me right now...especially since I'm used to working for like $15/hr.



I would really like to be a vet and have my own practice...ya that is my dream. I told that to Rachid...and he laughed and said it was stupid. Well he doesn't know anything...he's a moron! Mr Jingles says that I would be an excellent vet...one that he wouldn't mind visiting! He hates going to the vet!

I can dream can't I? I just wish I could get a good job, save some money, and go back to school to get a degree.
