Featured (35/49)
Oh my god! I came back upstairs from making the frozen pad thai (which Mokia voted for) and I saw that I got featured on the main blogathon site! I am so excited! This is my first blogathon in seven years and I am so happy to be recognized for being a part of it. … Continue reading
Best Friends Around the Web (34/49)
No matter where you go on the web, Best Friends is there! In addition to the main Best Friends website, you can find them: BFAS @ Change.org – since 2007, this site has brought people together for various causes BFAS on Facebook – over 35,000 fans, can you believe it?! BFAS on MySpace – part … Continue reading
Nom Nom Nosh (33/49)
I’m totally breaking Lorelle’s guide for Blogathon bloggers, but you know what? Lorelle has never done the Blogathon, she said so herself. It’s one in the morning, I’ve been writing for 16 hours, and it’s time to talk about food. I’ve been working hard on the veggie plate I bought earlier. It turns out it … Continue reading
Stuffed Adoptions (32/49)
Another way to help out Best Friends is by purchasing a toy from Stuffed Adoptions. The little schnauzer pictured here is only $12 and they donate 25% of each donation to Best Friends! They have a number of other animals too, including a stuffed replica of Bo the White House Dog! There are three cats … Continue reading
Awake Enough (31/49)
I have taken off my clothes, gotten under the covers, and curled up with my netbook in a sleeping-like position. It’s tempting to sleep. Sometimes I stay up a little later than this, but often I go to sleep around now. I think it’s time to put away the cream soda and bust out the … Continue reading
Nice Naniue (30/49)
This is Nainue, a sweet little piggie girl just two years old and living at Best Friends. She had been bought by a family whose rented home changed hands, and suddenly they couldn’t keep a pot-bellied pig anymore. She was also extremely obese, because the guy who sold her for $600 told the family she … Continue reading
Police Procedurals (29/49)
I love me some police procedurals. That’s the technical term for shows like CSI, NCIS, Cold Case, Law & Order, etc. Given that there is one airing just about every minute of the day if you have enough channels, I’d say plenty of other people love them too. So I have the same questions I … Continue reading

Ready to show your love for BFAS to the world? Check out the Best Friends Store! They’ve got shirts, bags, hats, gifts, stickers, all kinds of stuff. There’s even leashes and collars for dogs and a few accessories for cats too. I think I’m going to order a license plate frame and a couple of … Continue reading
Celebrity Junkie (27/49)
Ever since Michael Jackson’s death I’ve been reading TMZ.com on a regular basis. 99% of the time it’s crap, and Marlee Matlin has said she doesn’t even look at it because they are SO full of shit. But I’ve been looking. What is it about celebrities that fascinates us? Why are there magazines like People … Continue reading
Bobbie Foster, CatWorld Manager (26/49)
This is Bobbie Foster, just one of the wonderful staff members at Best Friends. If you click that link, you’ll see it takes a LOT of people to keep everything running! Not just animal specialists, either – there are landscapers, public relations managers, videographers, and even cooks! Of course they all love animals, and that’s … Continue reading
