Great blog

IFAW has an animal rescue blog. I just found it today and I am impressed. It's everything that I had hoped this blog would become. Be sure to visit if you have a chance, there are many stories that deserve to have attention.

Love to craft and love animals?

The Snuggles Project is for you then! Please visit their site and learn more about making blankets for shelter animals. They need whatever comfort they can get, and this is a wonderful project that is giving them that very comfort they so desperatly need.

Pet Therapy

I know that pets can be great therapists! In fact, when my father had his stroke, getting a puppy was the turning point for his recovery... she brought his laugh back. Pets are used for therapy in many situations, some are even specially trained just for the job. What a great job that would be too!

Animal Precinct

There is a show on Animal Planet called Animal Precinct. It is all about the special law enforcment people who work on behalf of abused animals. If you are tender hearted like me, it is extremely difficult to watch. It's just so hard to believe the cruelty of some people, like today's program where a woman put newborn puppies into a trash can because she didn't want to deal with them. I usually can't watch the show because it makes me both sad and angry, but I am so grateful that there are people who care and who are working on behalf of animals. You can learn more about there work and how to help by clicking here.

Too true...

I think this cartoon sums it up best. The animal world truly lost a best friend.

Sad news...

I'm sure that you have already heard about Steve Irwin. I just heard the news, and I have to say that I feel sad about it. He was one of those people that just don't come along often in the world. He was passionate about life and so entusiastic about everything he did. I'm sad that his vibrant energy and lust for living is gone from our planet.

Way to go Gov!

"Puppy mills are large-scale commercial dog breeding operations where profit is given a higher priority than the well-being of dogs.

The health of the dogs is disregarded in order to maintain a low overhead and maximize profit. The female dogs are housed in overcrowded and unsanitary conditions often times without adequate food, water, veterinary care or socialization. They are caged their entire lives and bred at every opportunity until they are no longer physically able to reproduce. After the dogs are no longer profitable they are commonly killed or abandoned. " (Exerpt from Care2.com)

Luckily Pennsylvania’s Governor Edward G. Rendell is doing something to stop this sad and inhumane practice in his state. You can thank the good Governer by clicking here and adding your name to the list.

Bunnies still need homes!

Home Improvement

As you know I am a big fan of home improvement and decorating my house. I love to do it myself too, and make it personal. I just found out about a new blog that is all about home improvement, home trends and Home Improvement Ideas. It is a really nice site, since they have photos and new ideas every day.

One of the coolest things on there has got to be the hot tub refridgerator! Oh what a perfectly lovely idea. I love getting in the hot tub, and hope to have one some day soon at our home, but there has always been the issue of getting thirsty and either having to get out and get something, or just bringing something out with out. In the winter you drink stays cool, but in the summer there are bugs, and it can get really warm. So, I have to say that I just love the idea of a fridge for the hot tub!

They have a lot of really cool things on the blog actually, you will have to go to see them all. So, if you like to see interesting, and sometimes even a little over the top, ideas for your home you should check out the blog.

Flamingos

Flamingos are pretty cool creatures. Did you know that they would be white if they didn't dine on shrimp? Check out the fun link and learn more about these wild feathered friends.

Yes, it's real!

You may have heard about a website that offers to pay you for posting on your blog. It sounds too good to be true, but it is true! I have been paid already, over $100, with another $100 on the way. It works because advertisers pay for exposure on your blog, and in turn you get money for blog advertising.

It's a great way to make extra money doing what you already love. My big plans with the money I have made, and all the future money that I make, is to pay down our credit card debts. The faster we are out of debt, the more fun we can have! It is a perfect site for me because I can do it in my spare time, and make a nice little side income from it. Many of the offers pay $5, $10, or even more, so it can add up really fast. The nice thing is that they have offers all the time, so unlike other sites, you can really make money each day.

If you are looking for a way to make money blogging, this is a real, legitimate site. You should check it out!

Make your own! :)

Have you seen the cute animal goodies at Cafepress? If you can't find what you are looking for, you can always make your own designs to sell.


It's a quick and easy way to make a little extra money for your rescue, to make team shirts for your volunteers, and even buttons! You can also make postcards, and many other items. The great part is that it is completely free unless you order a product, and of course you have a chance to make money as well. Check it out if you are looking for a fun new thing to add to your rescue group. :)

Back to cool!

If there is one thing that I like a lot it's office supplies! Not only do I enjoy getting organized, but there is just something fun about finding the perfect piece of furnature, or the perfect accessory, for your office. This site has one of the biggest selections of School Furniture that I have seen online. They have everything you could think of, and even things that you have forgotten. They offer everything from bookcases, chairs, and desks, to coatracks, hampers and even drafting tables.

They have a great selection for all the back to school items you could need, no matter what age. They have things for college, and even for young kids. It looks like a great site for teachers who are getting their classrooms ready because they even have activity tables and lockers, and student desks.

Animals Rule!

Read all about cool animals on Animal Planet! They have the most shows about animals, it's a great way to learn more about the animals you love.

Keep your pets cool.

Shed Ender is a good way to help your pets beat the heat this summer. Since this recent heat wave, it's good to pay special attention to keeping your pets as cool as possible. The shed ender is designed to remove the undercoat of your pet (cats and dogs) to help keep it cooler, and also to keep shedding to a minimum. So, if you have shedding problems, or just what to keep your friend cool in all this heat, you should give the shed ender a try.

Keep cool.

Don't forget, we aren't the only ones feeling the heat in this heat wave! Do what you can to make things comfortable for your animals. Don't leave them in a car, and don't leave them outside without shade and plenty of water.


It's been awhile since I have posted animal related news. Mainly because I have been so busy trying to find ways to earn money online, and working on our debt reduction plan. However, I just found a very neat site, and a way to keep all my tips in one place. Here are all my tips about getting out of debt and making money online. Maybe now I can get back to what is really supposed to be going on here, animals!
