~~~~~ P I C S P A M ! ! ! ~~~~~

We thought it might be fun to throw the Royal Family Photo Album open and post random pictures of the Royals throughout the years.

BUT! Be aware, there is a cameo appearance within these photos of a Very Special Feline! Can you spot who it is??!

We hope you've enjoyed "being spammed", pictorially speaking!

Thankful Thursday

Good Day, Effuryone!

We write to you today to convey this sweet message left by the Lady Andrea, who visited Us yesterday!

I just wanted to update everyone on the status of Shane, he is here with me in New Mexico, we are both looking for a job now. I was let go from mine yesterday. I am scared but excited. it's time for a new start. a new FRESH start. Again thank you to everyone that has prayed for his safety, he needed more than we could ever know. Bottom line, he is home, he is safe and we now know that together, the world is ours to take over as long as we are together!

We had been concerned for her and Shane's well-being, and were pleased she thought to drop Us a line or two!

All your purrs and prayers have had an effect in their lives, as evident by their safety and courage in this challenging time of changes for them both.

Blessings and Peace!

QM Rose and the Thankful Royals

HRH Prince Brutus

(Winkie Mancat Emoticon...heh-heh!!)

Our Gratitude and Thanks for your Caring and Concerned Response!

Whilst We rejoice in the Good News that Shane has been found safe and in good health, We wish to thank you all for your many prayers and purrs for Lady Andrea and Shane in this most distressing of times.

You are the Salt of the Earth, and for you, We are most Priveledged to know you and consider Our Friends and Furriends alike.

Here, a message left last night by Lady Andrea:

Everyone, Shane has been found. He had been struggling a lot in the past 9 days, I told him it was probably nothing compared to what I was going thru, either way. I found him. I love him more than anything and I am so so thankful that he is alive and ok. Prayers and purrs are still needed, this is just the beginning of a new journey. Thank you so much for everyone's support, I know our prayers have been answered!

The power of many gathered together in thoughts and Prayer is formidable and precious. As We are Blessed to know first hand that intercession by Prayer is meaningful and full of Grace, this again demonstrates the Strength you, Our friends in the Cat Blogosphere, can offer a Bean in trying times.

Our heartfelt thanks to you all for aiding Us in this search.

Well done!

A Matter Of Most Serious Concern!!

Please take heed to this most serious of announcements.

It has come to Our attention that a Subject of the Realm has gone missing, a gentleman Bean by the name of Shane. His Lady Andrea, at home in New Mexico is beside herself with worry. We are aware, indeed proud of the strength in numbers The Cat Blogosphere represents, and We come to you today to ask for your Prayers and Purrs, as well as all eyes and ears to assist and aid Shane in his safe return home.

We at this time turn the story over to Lady Andrea to give a full accounting, as best she is able to gather, 2000 miles away from where her Beau Shane was last seen,

Daytona Beach, FL.

I need help from everyone and anyone that is willing to help! I am at the mercy of complete and total strangers. I live in New Mexico and my boyfriend was working in Daytona Beach Florida where he has been missing since Saturday September 5th. I last talked to him at 12:30 my time which was 2:30AM where he was at. Last thing he told me was "I love you baby and I'm coming" (to NM) Sunday goes by, nothing... I call his cell all day long because at this point I'm freaking out because we really haven't gone 1 day without talking to each other since we started talking. I call his phone about 8:30 my time and some guy answers... says he works at this restaurant and they found Shane's phone in the street behind the restaurant...WTF... now I start freaking out. I called his step dad and Susan to ask if they've heard anything... no word. No ones heard from Shane in almost 7 days. Today I get home from work, mind you, I can't sleep, I can't eat, I'm so worried about Shane. I get on the phone and call the Daytona beach jail...nothing, no record... okay... next... I call the Halifax Hospital... and guess what... Shane was checked in and discharged 6 days ago...Sunday... I haven't heard from him, no one has. I'm calling shelters trying to find him... since he lost his phone... did he lose his wallet also with every ones phone number in it? I don't know... is he waiting for someone to find him? I don't know. I'm reaching out to anyone who will listen. I tried to file a missing persons report with the sheriffs department but they won't let me because it has to be done in person. Mind you I am 2000 miles away and it's a 3 day drive or a $500 plane flight. Please if anyone has any information it would be greatly appreciated. Here is a description of Shane. Robert "Shane" Franks, he's 37, about 5 10, 175lbs, slender, he has his left arm sleeved with flames starting at the wrist and there are a couple of "real" skulls also. he has a large elephant on his right leg. He keeps his hair short to the scalp, dark brown hair, beautiful brown eyes. Usually keeps a mustache and goatee. he's got a southern accent and great personality, very personable. If anyone sees him please tell him to check his myspace I have messaged him all the contact numbers of myself and his family, info to where his cell phone is. He can call me collect I don't care, I just need to know that he's okay. Please please please somebody help me.

Our Dearest Subjects, you may post here with information, or request Lady Andrea's private e-mail address to contact her personally. She has photos to share of Shane that may assist you. Also, Our Thanks and Blessings if you could provide a link to Our Blog while this Search is underway.

May The Creator Bless and Keep You All.

"I'm ready for My Close-Up..."

A secret Screen-Test was discovered yesterday which has quite upset the Royal Household.

It seems that HRH Princess Marigold, The Princess Emo had answered a request to audition for Quentin Tarantino's next project. The Queen Mum is quite opposed to a career outside of Royal Duties, but The Princess is adamant She will persue a career in the Entertainment Industry.

The fact that Royalty can, in some circles, be considered an Entertainment Industry is lost on Her Royal Highness.

If The Royals are to accept The Princess's Passion, QM wishes She would at least seek counsel and Mentorship from The Greatest Actress of Our Time (and New Jersey native) Meryl Streep.

Today is the Premiere of World Cat Day. To appreciate the spirit of this day, visit ML and The Sherwood Seven 's Bloggie to read a heartwarming story of two shelter cats rescued in the eleventh hour by a few Very Special Beans who make World Cat Day a part of each day of the year.

The Royals have humble beginnings and knew kindness from Foster Mom Rosemary (HM Queen Emily) and Their Gracious Godmother Deb aka "Auntie Deb" (TRH Prince Brutus and Princess Marigold).

Three Cheers for Rescues and Foster Moms!!

UPDATE!! HM Queen Emily Reported Under Evil Spell!

PLEASE SEE EARLIER POST BELOW FOR BACKSTORY! Biggify photos with due caution: Some images may prove unsettling!

It has been reported by Staff in Myres Castle that HM Queen Emily has been seen in Her Private Chambers, indulging in 'nip, and other reckless behaviour, which includes Twittering Excessively under the user name "@HotEmXXX" . The most distressful visual symptoms are Her Majesty emulating some of her favourite "I Can Has Cheezburger" images. Above you will see Her Majesty emulating the so-called "Monorail Kitteh".

The most disturbing visual appearance is the eerie glow which has afflicted The Queen. It is reminiscent of that witnessed by Queen Mum to have been in the eyes of the most recent Vishus Deer sighting in the Palace's back garden.

The Royal V.E.T. has been consulted, and will provide a treatment plan to Staff.

Further reports on HM Queen Emily will be forthcoming,

Long Live The Queen!

BREAKING NEWS: Vishus Deer Sighting in New Jersey!

Something has alarmed Princess

Marigold, the Princess Emo!

Her 6th (or is it 7th or 8th?) sense is always spot on, which led me to investigate further...

To my Horror, just outside Our window, stood a Vushus Deer!

BUT! This one had company!

THERE HE WAS! The Apparent offspring of the first Vishus Deer!

Oh, how his eyes glowed with the fires of the Netherworld!!!!

In what seemed to take forever, they finally moved on to seek more vulnerable prey.

Once again, The Royal House of Myres was secure. HM Queen

Emily made a decree to have the Groundskeeper secure the Back Garden against any future security breaches.

Watching Cats simply being cats can be therapeutic, mesmerizing, comforting and humbling. It is in observing a cat's grace in handling life in the moment that I try to drink in each time I look at one of my babies.

While Brutus was coming down with his recent tangle with asthma, allergies and bronchitis, I hadn't noticed that he began neglecting his grooming. By Monday, June 30th, he was cough-free. That morning, I noticed flakes on his back, near his tail and thought "Kitteh Dandruff?!" But later that day, I also caught site of him attending to his grooming. Once he was finished giving himself a thorough going over, he went to stretch out against his scratching post next to the front windows, then rested a few moments to allow me to adore him. With more thanks than I can suitably show to Stacey, Patti and Jan, Brutus will have many moments of adoration to come. This is as he sees fit. Of course.

I had to include a baby picture of him in this group! The little orange fuzz with the blue eyes, in a lovely basket lined in blue gingham is Brutus at about 6 weeks of age, I believe. He was being raised along with his siblings and his Momma Grace by their Godmother Deb Taylor in Houston, Texas. Then, as now, Brutus is full of Piss and Vinegar and is firmly ensconced as The Spokescat of the Three Royals. The ladies know when to let the Mancat speak for them!

I would like to thank everyone in the Cat Blogosphere who sent up purrs and prayers for Brutus' recovery. Once again, you all show that God hears prayer, He is responsive to prayer, and He is always just there, on your shoulder waiting to be asked for whatever it is you might need of Him.

With humility, I thank Him, and I thank you.

Blessings and Peace from

June 24, 2009 - The Royal's Third "Gotcha Day" Anniversary!

Good Day, Friends and Fuzzbutts All!

We have been sadly remiss in Our Blogging. To be sure, We have been proportionately Guilty as all hell, but still remiss. So today, Sunday, June 26th, We shall give you the Cliff Notes version of Our Lives in Duurrty Jersey since last We wrote.

HRH Prince Brutus, (or He Who Worships Liza Minnelli *all Heads Bow*), had a recent visit, (as recent as this past Friday) to the Dreaded and Vile V-E-T. Now, being a pure Texican at heart, Brutus had other 'joocier' words for his nemesis, but Being Royal, He thus held his tongue. As a matter of fact, with all the Bravado and Hostility HRH presented in the Dreaded Lair of the V-E-T's office, this infidel daring to call himself a healer of all things Fuzz walked in to 'That Room". (y'all know That Room...the one in which villanous and unspeakable deeds are done upon even the most Royal of Fuzzbutts) Brutus The Brave Hearted Texan Royal gave a display that would remind One of a WWF Champion: A Show of Sheer Disgust and Hatred for the man who took The Royal Jewels from him. At this display of just who was Royal, the poor excuse of a hooman muttred, "oh, great" and promptly backed out of the room. "Aha! Victory is Ours", thought The Royal Prince, only to be foiled in the bat of a canary's eye - The Man in Dark Navy returned and in a lightening quick move injected Our Brave Prince with what he called a "sedative". We were horror stricken when Brutus went through "sedated" to practically having one paw on "the Bridge".

Brutus has Bronchitis and Asthma. The V-E-T declared that Brutus was in "very serious" condition. Now, this is something he presented with about 2 years ago. While last year he sailed through allergy season with nary a sniffle, this past June had a kind of Rain only a clinically Depressed New Jersey could produce. One weather prognosticator pointed out that it had rained 24 out of 30 days. And not just drizzle. Pouring-down-bring-your-shower-gel-out-with-you-and-save-the-Scrubbing-Bubbles kind of rain. So mold and mildew hung heavy in The Royal Household, to be sure. I couldn't see it, but I felt it as well.
Brutus was given a shot of Depo-Medrol, and at the insistance of Stacey Walder, (one of the God Sent Angels who responded to a panicked phone call I placed to Coalition for Animals in Somerville, NJ) she asked the V-E-T for a "full work-up - blood panel, X-rays, and a microchip". She saw I wasn't going to open my mouth and ask for the things she coached me to say, since it wasn't my wallet that contained the funds to pay for all this, so she stepped up to the plate for Brutus. She also expressed distaste for the cardboard kennel I've used since Emily (HM Queen Emily-and-don't-you-forget-it-I'm-from-Dunellen) was a an 18 oz. kitten. She brought along a real kennel, large enough for Brutus to sit up and turn around in, all 17 pounds, 4 oz of him. Feeling Grotty or not, Brutus' appetite remains robust, to be sure. A Tittie-Kittie to the Bitter End! (Which We hope will be VERY LONG in coming!) Her Most Loyal Lady Stacey the Vegan and Foster Mum to Felines gifted His Royal Highness with this lovely used but well-constructed carrier. We did not get the microchip, alas. It was the afternoon of the Sabbath, and Doctor needed to close, after all. Stacey was told "we don't do that here" by the Vet Tech.
I began Thursday night to seek an entity that would allow me a payment plan to give Brutus the care he desperately needed. Calls to many vets (nearly all within 20 miles, actually) would not see him without cash up front. I stated this when Stacey met us in the waiting room, and she said "we'll take care of that later" Before leaving us. I asked for her address so I could send her $25.00 a month with interest for the $487.00 she put out. She said, not to worry, one day it will be my turn. Many people under the Umbrella of Coalition for Animals e-mailed and called with offers of help in many ways, and all want to be kept abreast of Brutus' progress.
Last night, Brutus began to cough again. Just once, but it alarmed me. Then just now, as I was writing this, he coughed again. This "Doctor G" has changed. He's not the caring let-me-call-to-follow-up-on-my-patients kind of Vet he was just 3 years ago. I attempted to call the office to get a message through to him. He has a new answering service that must be staffed by pit-bull hybrids. They insisted they are under orders to refer all calls to an emergency clinic. Well, I'm pleased and proud to report Her Aged Queen Mum grew a pair, and I just got off the phone with the answering service. I behaved like the biggest baddest pain-in-the-ass client I could remember from my days in customer service, and told the little runt that I would find out the name of her "service" and have my attorney (I DO have one, irl!! For a reason left for another entry) proceed with every legal action available if my cat should die of the condition the Doctor HIMSELF requested I contact him should it return. She said she would call the doctor and give him the message and it would be up to him to call back today, otherwise we wait until tomorrow. So, Stay Tuned, folks. I'll update on this situation with any news.

Her Fussy Highness, Princess Marigold, the Princess Emo has finally stopped hissing and growling at her poor bro for his misadventure at the V-E-T's office. Brutus gave himself a thorough bath and I guess smells more like himself now. Emily, however is a sassy old bird ( ugh, did I really refer to Her Majesty as one of the fev-ver friends that she so desperately wants sauteed in French Country Butter, a bit of Extra Virgin Olive Oil and Shallots, topped with herbs de provence and served over a bed of wild rice and avian organ meat??? ~Ahem~)

I want to thank everyone who keeps Brutus, and all the Royals in their Purrayers. The Power of Faith is essential for every bean of Gods to heal, body and soul.

Again, We will keep you updated on His Boa-Loving self as the next few days go on.

Have a lovely week, and thanks for visiting!

UP-DAET!!!
Forty Minutes after the unfortunate - but too true threat - I had to make to the aforementioned answering service, Dr. G CALLED BACK!!! I told him Brutus' condition, and THE OFFICE IS OPEN TODAY from 9:00 to 12:00. Instead of walking over to the office, I asked him to call it in to my pharmacy, since I have scrips of my own to fetch, AND HE IS DOING JUST THAT!!
So much for having Chutzpa!!

My Della needs an upgrade...STAT!

Hello Friends and Foe...(Foes?)

I have been bad. Very Bad.

I have been asking Della - my trusty PC - to do more than what Her Makers intended for her. Hence, I'm having a hell of a time uploading pictures anymore. I have Kodak software, and it's always been a battle with it. I tried uninstalling then reinstalling it, to the same end. Do you think the fact I have close to 2,800 pictures, videos and audio files saved (on 512MB) has anything to do with it? (Okay, I.T., I HEARD THAT!!)

The most recent scare came when I was trying to insert the USB cable...I got an error message something to the effect that I "just went and fried the USB port and I will suffer a long and painful death, if the Universe has anything to say about it".
I'm afraid. I'm VERY afraid.

My action plan is as follows: Since there is an open port left, I would like to buy another 512MB drive, have it installed or call Ask-A-Geek and find out where I get the doo-hickey that unscrews the screw-like things on the back of the whats-it and hope I don't effectively cause Della to flatline. We'll see. This is probably a procedure best left to professionals.

In the mean time, I give you a photo or two of The Royals, as all three make me feel another year older.

Peace Out!

Glad Tidings for Easter, from The Royals...

I'd like to direct Our Friends looking for Our Royal Carnival to this Blog in Development: www.qmroseelysabethandtheroyals.blogspot.com . I posted the scramble that is at present My brain just now, and I hope that explains why The Royals are still in the wings! STAY TUNED!!!





Right now, I'm streaming The Bouncing Souls from their website. It's doing wonders for my mood!
A few posts ago, I posted about them and had bad information, totally untentionally, in the post.
So, I'm going to rip off, eh, I mean paste and copy an entry from Frank Iero, who posted a promo for The Souls on My Chemical Romance's website yesterday.
~~~~~~~~

hi all

the bouncing souls are celebrating 20 years as a band this year. can you believe it? it feels like just yesterday i was sneaking out of my mom's house on a school night to go see them play at the pipeline with hambone. ah but alas the pipeline is gone, and i dont have school tomorrow ever again...but maniacal laughter is still one of my favorite records, and i still love when i can get hambone to drive me to shows so i can bully his radio.
the bouncing souls are one of my favorite bands of all time... they are full bred new jersey punk rock, they made me wanna have my first legal drink at holiday coctail lounge, throw a toilet off a roof, and start a band and go on tour... ive seen them play hundreds of times probably more times than ive ever seen any other band, and it never gets old. ever since i first heard the souls their music spoke to me, they've "touched my heart, and i'll sing along forever." so when i heard about what they were doing for their 20 year anniversary as a band i had to let as many people know as possible...hence the blog.
ok so get this....for their 20 year anniversary the souls have decided to go DIY again in the digital age, and release 1 song a month all year long direct from the bands label Chunksaah Records. And if you do what i did and subscribe to the record you get emailed every month on the 1st to remind you to go get the track and at the end of the year after you've gotten your 12th track you get an extra 4 new souls tracks free just for subscribing! i think its a rad idea, and the first track Gasoline is up for download now on their site www.bouncingsouls.com so if you're a souls fan go support, or if you're not a fan yet, but want to check out an amazing band who has stood the test of time...go to their site and download the new track you wont be disappointed. ECFU xofrank"

As the My Chem website seems to have a Warner/Reprise Nazi Webmaster, and has been known to delete posts from a freakin' Rock Band!for chrissakes, I consider it my duty as a Die Hard Jersey Rock Fanatic to at least repost Frank Iero's post here, for posterity...well no, not posterity, just for safe-keeping. For now. I think Frank may have hinted to the presence of content editors by the "ECFU" Unless I'm hopelessly behind the My Chem Lingo Door, which is entirely possible, it's my thought that EC = "edit Content" and FU = ...well, y'know.

I Love Frank Iero!!!

Frank's "Side Project", LeATHERMOUTH is releasing their debut CD "XO" on January 27th, 2009 on Epitaph Records.

After giving the tracks a listen, you will feel oddly purged from anger, anxiety and a few other emotions you may normally take Meds for. I Promise!!

Wishes for a healing, peace-filled New Year

Came across this video this morning, and I found it reminded me of an Emily Dickenson poem. A line that refers to "the river in the trees". At about 1:15 you'll hear it! I wait for that all summer. I hope you enjoy the video!



EDIT: Sorry, I posted the 40 second version first, I forgot. After viewing this, roll over the choices below the screen and find "one year in 2 minutes". It really is worth the time.
Believe it or not, there ARE places here in Duuurty Jersey that look like this!
In the Somerset Hills and the north-western parts of the state, and to an extent, south of the Trenton area.

Merry Christmas Eve!

Christmas Eve has always been my favorite day, beating Christmas Day out by 31 lengths or more.

Christmas Eve I was free to roam about the house, and enjoy the tree, mom's company and our shared itchy fingers for "taking peeks" at intriguing presents that were under the tree.
My brother Jon stopped putting his gifts under until after midnight, spoil sport.

Christmas Day found me secluded in my room with my Animals of the Day, biding time until my nemesis left. Those were the days I'd just write for hours. The writing part I have to cultivate again.

Well, my cats know what I get them the moment the package get here from Petco. I'm lousy at keeping things from them. Aside from that, they crawl inside every box and parcel that crosses the threshold, confident it's for them, anyway. As usual, they're right.

We got more than we bargained for in the last shipment from Petco. It was the first time I got the order in three different shipments from different warehouses. After the last package was opened and Tem-Tay-Shuns were handed out, I'd left the box under the kitchen table to take out the next day.
A few hours later, I was confronted with a Roach. And it wasn't any Jersey Roach, neither!
That sucker was sub-tropical, sitting next to my sink, mocking me. I swear I haven't seen a roach that big since I was in Hawaii 20 years ago. It was like a dried date with legs and looooong antenna! I actually feared for my cats lives, so refrained from calling out "Come Kill The Bug!!" In all honesty, that Roach from Hell was bigger than Brutus' mouth. And that's saying a lot. How I dispatched the rodent-sized insect is now fuzzy in my memory, but I think running to the bathroom to flush it down the toilet whilst it's legs and antennae wiggled in the breeze was a large part of it.
Spawn of Satan.

Speaking of Spawns of Satan, I have a problem with a certain record company t/a Warner Reprise. They have allowed You Tube to post music videos for years, and it's been great getting the chance to revisit a video after the song has long gone on the oldies playlist and the video is no longer being played on the MTV's of the world. Well, Warner decided it needed control back (read: Greed, plain and simple) and are now pulling their videos of artists under their management from You Tube. That, my friends, includes Our Dearest My Chemical Romance.
Well young'uns with more energy than I have been archiving such vids, and some Sweet Soul decided to post this video on the ASPCA Community website. Works for me
.
http://aspcacommunity.ning.com/video/video/show?id=658300%3AVideo%3A885485

Hope this works. It's the 2005 video to "Helena".

I'm going to try to post this puppy before I experience another crash...nasty business, that...

We hope your holidays afford you moments of peace and comfort.
We Love You.

Happy Holidays from Durrrty Jersey, '08

Gaslight Anthem - "Drive"



When last we met, it appeared I would be moving, cats in tow, to a "safer" part of town.
Never happened.

I'll delve into events of the past summer later, but for now, I have 2 videos. One features a New Jersey band having it's 20th Anniversary this year, The Bouncing Souls. The second video features Gaslight Anthem, a band from New Brunswick, NJ.
These two bands are scheduled to play together during a 3-night run under The Stone Pony~Asbury Park schedule, with a slight modification:

BOUNCING SOULS MOVE TO GRAND ARCADE

The Dec. 26-28 shows with the Bouncing Souls have been moved to the majestic Grand Arcade at Convention Hall. All tickets will be honored at the new location.

The Souls will be there all 3 nights, and Anthem will join them on December 28th, as will Gimme Drugs and Let Me Run. At $20.00 a ticket, it's awesomely affordable. Something to use that AmEx gift card on, neh??

Off-Topic Note: I have created a genesis for a new Royals Blog. Now, if only I can remember where I put the username and password...
Wishing you Healthy End Of Year Celebrations, and a deservedly Much Better NEW YEAR.
For All of US!!

The "Crisis" is over.

I am moving with the Royals on August 1st, 2008. Third Floor. Mama needs to buy 2 window perches so the Royals can see birds fly at their proper altitude. They may need NASA-Employee Extrodinaire ML to teach them Air Traffic Control patterns of Avians over Highland Park, New Jersey, as this will be a new one on them!

Also, thank you for your prayers, all appreciated, if only for my kittehs, who I care about more than is healthy. (just a note...my Amazing Veterinarian, Dr. Goldsmith offered to put the kitts up if "worse came to worse", and we'd work the details out later. Then he asked if Brutus was still coughing!)

I want to post another Butch Walker Video for you today.

He is my Guru. He has such life experience in his young years that I envy him. Please, take some time to visit You Tube, search for Butch's videos, and have a good time! (Do watch his "live" vids where he shares his substantial heart with his audience) Failing that, Google his lyrics. They will, WILL touch your hearts.
Later, friends...

URGENT!~~Help~save~this~dogs~life...
Body: Beautiful Pitbull Needs home she is may be killed in a day

"Amy" needs your help. She is in a high kill Shelter

From my friend Paula:"it's called "black dog syndrom". Many loving dogs in need of good homes are being overlooked and underappreciated and under adopted at shelters nationwide and they all share the one thing in common, their "black coats". Amy was brought to a high kill shelter in Brooklyn 6/30/2007. she is 2 years old and at 50 pounds she is a very healthy girl. As sweet as she is she has been overlooked by the public. It is true that black dogs and cats have a harder time at the shelter...so I am advocating for this beautiful little girl. She looks like she was in a home right before she got to the shelter due to her beautiful coat and weight. If you would like to rescue this dog please call Paula (917)325-4715. Amy is going to need plenty of exercise and would do best in a home without small children or cats. if you have dogs I can meet you at the shelter and do a meet and greet to see if they get along. This is an urgent request since the shelter gave me 24 hours to find her a home.

Thanks,

Paula

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Now, among many reasons people encounter to be forced to give up their Fuzzes of all Makes and Models is - let's face it - "The Economy". Families' have either lost the ability to adequately feed themselves, let alone a pet, and so they give them up in hopes that SOMEONE will come along and see THEIR Beloved pet for the Beautiful Soul it is, among the close to 100 other Beloved Souls, and Take Their Pet Home.

The competition is very VERY stiff.

Besides the economic reason of another mouth to feed, there may be a darker reason - the family has been forced into Foreclosure, and they themselves have no where to live. Having been down the path of Homelessness, I can attest to the fact that the last thing any Social Agency Worker wants to hear from you is a plaintive cry "But What About My Pet?!" Frankly, they don't Give a Damn.

I'm posting Amy's and Paula's Story in a belief system I hold: The Six Degrees of Separation.

Yeah, it was a movie, but based on an old belief system. We are all connected to someone through 6 other people.

So, if you know of someone who may know of someone who perhaps has a large back yard, and maybe someone else can hold a Church/Temple fundraiser to feed Amy until Her Forever Family finds her - and I'm sure they will. Won't you please either contact Paula at the phone number she listed above, or at her e-mail pjjp07@verizon.net . Or, contact me at

emilyrose.myres@yahoo.com . I'm considering a PayPal Donation campaign for Amy's keep in the short-term, but quite literally her hours are numbered. Something along the lines of 24...and counting...

Please, PLEASE HELP if you can!

Karma's a Good Thing! It will repay you over and over again!

Blessings y'all...
