Nat. Parks, Tigers, Puppies, Horses, etc.

This morning, Ray and I went through some more stuff on the “To Be Fixed” table in the workshop. There were a lot of bits, parts, nails and many screws in bins on that table, so Ray and I got them all sorted and put away or thrown out. One new pile was “Things to do when it’s warmer outside” and another “Things to put in the shed”, as we didn’t even want to open the big doors to let the sunshine in, as it was too cold.  It was only 50 deg. in the workshop, of course that would be bliss for you folks in AK!
I was also washing doggie beds, even the foam that goes in them.  (I had washed all the doggie blankies , and Jay shampooed my carpet, yesterday.)

“Alaska’s cruel wolf-killing from airplanes and helicopters rages on as Palin-appointed officials target more than 100 wolves statewide for this season’s body count.”
If I had known Sarah Palin was behind this aerial wolf shooting, I would never have supported her as Second-In-Command:

Please thank Gov. Rell for the Bill about Puppy Mills:

Sponsored by: ASPCA

The CT SB 499-Puppy Lemon Law and Trace Back Bill has finally completed its legislative journey. On Wednesday, July 8, Connecticut Governor Rell signed this important humane legislation into law.

The law will improve the state's "puppy lemon law" by increasing the allowable reimbursement to pet purchasers who have bought sick animals and must assume often substantial veterinary costs. Send your thanks to Governor Rell for signing the Puppy Mill Bill - sign the letter below and tell a friend.
