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
Shop Best Friends (28/49)
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
Halfway There (25/49)
I’m halfway done. It’s been 12 hours that I’ve been posting so far, and I have 12 more hours to go. I’ll be spending the second half of the Blogathon alone, because my wife has gone over to the other house for the night – she had no interest in sticking around while I stayed … Continue reading
DogTown (24/49)
I’ve mentioned DogTown a couple of times, but I wanted to highlight the show a little bit. It airs on the National Geographic Channel and features the process of how dogs arrive at Best Friends, what medical, psychological, or other care they need, and how they go through the adoption process. It was through DogTown … Continue reading
My Blogathon Workspace (23/49)
I wanted to share my workspace with you. It was suggested by the Blogathon that we post pictures of our workspace to the group Flickr pool, and although I was much too late to win a $5 sponsorship that way, I figure it’s not too late to post the picture. So here is my workspace. … Continue reading
V for Vicktory (22/49)
Ever wondered what happened to NFL player Michael Vick’s dogs when he was busted for dogfighting and sentenced to jail? They went to Best Friends! 22 of Vick’s pit bulls were sent to the sanctuary in Utah, where they had to undergo major therapy. I’ve seen on DogTown that gentle dogs are given green collars … Continue reading
Euphoria (21/49)
I’ve been meaning to write about euphoria for a while now. It’s my new life philosophy. I picked it up in mid 2007 when I broke out of the rat race by quitting my job and going back to school full time. Euphoria has kept me almost completely drama free for two years now. Life … Continue reading
No More Homeless Pets (20/49)
Although Best Friends does quite a lot of work just at the ranch, they also work nationwide and even globally. That’s why I’ve picked BFAS as my #1 charity – because the work they do affects lives around the world. (My wife and I also donate $120/yr to the Human Rights Campaign, BTW.) Best Friends … Continue reading
