I can understand why factory farmers don’t want the public seeing images of their business practices. The images of almost featherless hens, so crowded the animals are living on top of each other, or pigs being struck with metal bars by workers coarsened to their duties are deeply disconcerting. The response should not be, as in some country ruled by a dictator or a junta, to have the strongmen grab the cameras and smash them to the ground or melt them in a fire, as the authorities do in order to hide the beating and shooting of pro-democracy advocates. It's the same principle at work for the strongmen in these state legislatures. Their scheme is a neater way to smash those cameras to the ground and hide what's going on. Ironically, they want to prevent their very own customers, America's consuming public, from learning about the production practices that bring food to their tables and plates.

1. ASPCA: Call toll-free 1-866-230-4259 or go online. They have a 30 day free trial. They have 4 levels of coverage that you can select that meet your needs and finances. Also, you can call them if you have a poison control problem.

2. CareCredit: Call toll-free 1-800-365-8295 or go online. This is more or less a credit card that carries a low to no interest payment plan. The xeroxed brochure I have really does not give too much info out other than that.

The Veterinary Memorial Fund at Virginia Tech...my vet did this for me when my last pet was put down. It is when people donate money to this fund in memory of a pet or for friends/family. It's mission is to advance medical care for all animals. It supports clinical research which improves the lives of our pets. You may send your support no matter what it is to:
Veterinary Memorial Fund at Virginia Tech
VMRCVM-0442
Blacksburg, VA 24061

She's 4 months old, she totally has puppy breath and she's just a little tiny bit of awesome.

She's heading to the rescue on Tuesday.

I guess I should add that she was an owner turn in who is hanging out with us until Tuesday. I didn't breed her or give her up. I would never do either of those things!
