Update on the doggies

Chisholm and Missy have been rescued!  It was made possible by everyone who donated, so THANK YOU to everyone who chipped in!!

Chisholm is on the left and Missy is on the right. :)

Donate to dogs in need!

We are trying to rescue two beautiful dogs that are currently on death row, Chrisholm (a 2 year old Siberian Husky mix) and Missy (a 1 year old Pit Bull Terrier mix).  A rescue has stepped up and will take them, however they need our help with the pull fees and a weeks worth of boarding fees.  If you are able to donate, please do, even if it's only a few dollars.  Any donation is greatly appreciated and will go directly to saving these babies. For more information, you can check out Pet Connect.US' facebook page.  If you are interested in fostering or adopting one of the doggies, please email Pet Connect at: info@petconnect.us
You can donate using the ChipIn I have attached below.  Just click the "ChipIn" button and it will direct you to the donation page where you can donate using PayPal or a credit/debit card.  Thank you all! <3

To New Beginnings!

Two victories in two days! These two young, adorable dogs were saved from the Devore Animal Shelter's death row! All thanks to facebook.

This sweet boy is only 11 months old and was just minutes away from being put to sleep when I.C.A.R.E. Dog Rescue saw the post about him on Pet Connect.US's facebook and stepped up to take him in! His new foster family has named him Chance and thanks to them and the wonderful people at I.C.A.R.E., he will be able to live a happy life full of love.

This sweetheart is only 2 years old and was originally scheduled to be put to sleep at noon today until a wonderful girl who saw the post called the shelter and begged for an extension.  The manager said he would give the dog until 5:30pm and if no one picked him up, the dog would be put down first thing in the morning. After a few hours of watching the thread on Pet Connect.US's facebook page (they post animals who are on death row in the hopes that someone will rescue them before it's too late) and helping to spread the word about this poor dog, a woman commented saying that she and her family wanted to adopt him!  Someone else had offered to pay for the pull fee and the neuter fee, so all she has to do is give him a loving home!  There was already a puller down at the shelter waiting to get the OK to pull the dog for whoever stepped up to rescue him. The newly saved doggie will be neutered tomorrow, then will get to meet his new family for the first time.  Such a happy ending for such a sweet baby.

Stories such as these make me so happy and restores my faith in people.  It's nice to know that in this crazy world, there are still kind hearted, loving people out there willing to help.

Just Another Manic Monday...

I think Mondays should just be a part of the weekend.  Work four days, then get three days off, I don't think that's unreasonable!

This weekend flew by, but it was a lot of fun!  I make sure to dedicate one of my weekend days to spending time with my family every week.  This week, Saturday was family day.  We ate lunch at Wahoo's and stopped by an adoption event the German Sheperd Rescue of Orange County was putting on.  Seeing all of those sweet dogs and puppies just made me want to start an animal rescue of my own even more.  And when I have the money to do so, I'm definitely starting it!

After drooling over all of the cute doggies and wanting to adopt them all, we purchased some baked goods from their bake sale and headed over to Kohl's to do some shopping.  I immediately went to the baby section and started shopping for Chanelle's little bun in the oven.  I LOVE looking at baby clothes, it's so much fun!  When I have my own kids, they're going to be the most stylish kids around, you can count on that! 

After picking out a few cute outfits for little Kylei and getting hit on by an older guy walking around with his teenage son while doing so (creepy, right?), my parents and I headed back to their place where we just hung out for the rest of the night and spent time together.  I love my days with my family. :)

Sunday started out with me getting up at 11am and cleaning the kitchen.  I'm slowly, but surely, cleaning my entire apartment.  I'm thinking tonight I might clean my bathroom...or just lay on my couch with Mellow while watching my box set of Friends, who knows! :P

Will's work was hosting a bonfire at North Beach in San Clemente in the evening, so I started getting ready for that after I cleaned the kitchen and ate some breakfast.  Mellow was being a little cuddlebug all day, which of course made it difficult for me to get anything done in a timely manner.  But, I managed to resist his unfailing cuteness long enough to throw my makeup on and do my hair in time for us to leave.

Will, his brother Seth and I all drove down to the beach together.  It was gorgeous down there and wasn't hot at all.  There was a really nice breeze and every time it blew, you could smell the salt water.  I love that!  There was tons of pizza and other food there.  Of course I filled up on pizza before any of the other food arrived and was so stuffed that I turned down s'mores and chocolate cake.  I know, a chocoholic turning down s'mores AND chocolate cake, crazy right?! 

The sunset was absolutely beautiful.  I haven't seen a beach sunset in years, so that was awesome.

 When I got home from the beach, Mellow was still being a little cuddlebug, so it of course took me forever to gather my stuff and mosey on over to Will's for the night.  I mean, come on, who could resist this sweet lovebug?!

Mellow snuggling with me last night. :)

I hope everyone has had a quick and painless Monday!

Happy Friday!

I'm a little obsessed with Pon and Zi.

Well, it's officially baby season! It seems as though all of my friends are getting pregnant right now, which in turn gives me Mommy Fever.  Since I won't get to have my own baby for a few more years, I will settle for stealing someone else's.  Lucky me, my little nieces Mckenna, Lilly and Brooke are moving back to Orange County next month! I've missed those little munchkins and I will be stealing them quite often.

I'm sending out a package of baby stuff to my little vampire sister Chanelle who is due in November. This pacifier is definitely going in! The moment I saw this, I knew she HAD to have it!

 Happy Friday everyone and congratulations again to all you Mommies and Daddies to be!

Good Morning Sunshine!

Breakfast of champions! And my messy, messy desk.

I wish it was raining.  I'm over Summer, I'm a total Fall and Winter kind of girl. I want it to be October right now so I can go to the Pumpkin Patch, drink my delicious Pumpkin Creme Frappuccino from Starbucks and visit Knott's Scary Farm for the first time ever. And just to add to the awesomeness that is October, I get to see My Chemical Romance and blink-182 on the 6th with Will! Very excited about that! 

In other news, for all of my fellow tea enthusiasts out there, my Mom has introduced me to my new favorite tea. Yogi Green Tea Super Antioxidant!

Seriously, if you haven't tried it, you need to. It's very healthy and soo delicious. I usually drink two cups in the morning and one at night. I'm slightly addicted. You can find it at either Trader Joes or Target for only $3. Add a little bit of honey and it's like Heaven in a cup.

Welcome to my blog!

Hello there boys and girls!  Welcome to my blog!  I have a lot of fun and exciting adventures coming up, so stay tuned.  Since I have nothing exciting to write about today, here is a cute picture of Mellow snuggling with me :)

Mellow's favorite place to sleep, above my head on my pillow!
