Save these dogs!

Please Save our Dog Friends!

Help Save Phineas !!

Phineas, a lovable family lab is sentenced to die because he allegedly mouthed a child when she fell on top of the child he lives with and loves. No skin was broken!  Please sign the petition they created - they only need a few thousand more and with you, our readers, we can make it happen!!

 

Help Save Mia!  

You guys know how much I love my GSD, so lets try to help her! The city of Memphis wants to murder Mia who bit a child after the group of kids were tormenting one of Mia's puppy's. The court date is June 17 - "The order to show cause to dismiss and intervene was signed. And both will be heard along with the case on June 17 @ 3PM."   The kids were poking with sticks and pulling up the fence! Like her page! 

Help Save Gus!

Gus is a Stafford shire Terrier, and he is in the Animal Control at the Montgomery County Shelter, Houston, Texas.  He was roughly being put into a crate which he desperately feared. His foot got jammed in the bars and he freaked. When the foster person tried to free his foot, he attacked her, misplacing all his aggression on her. She then attacked him by tazering him, punched and kicked him.  If the lady had taken her time to crate train him properly and obviously was not a horrible person he would be fine!  Don't punish the dog from what the owner did!

Help Save Chloe & Rocco! 

"Chloe broke a steel tie out and she and her dog brother, Rocco escaped. Allegedly, the dogs killed a cat. Upon our initial court hearing, we were ordered by the court to plead guilty and forgo a hearing lest both dogs be executed. In essence, we were ordered to sacrifice one dog to save the other. We were not even allowed to speak. We were bullied, intimidated, and justice was not served. There was no physical evidence of the dogs taking part in the attack--no blood,  no scratches, nothing but the cat owners' word.  Even the cat was cremated before it could be tested for DNA.  Chloe does not deserve to die. Upon assessment by a behavioral specialist, both dogs were not found to be dangerous to humans. Even the Animal Control Officer has said that she doesn't believe them to be dangerous. An appeal has been filed, but a court date has not been set. Be sure to like their FB page too!!

My big GSD wants you to help!

 

These pups are being helped at this moment by The Lexus Project and the attorneys say signing the petitions and liking/sharing their page HELPS!   Social Media is a big element when considering decisions in the world today, so help! If you check out their page and website you can see all the dogs that desperately need help and assistance from us.

Wedding locations...

Weddings are SO expensive!   Is it really a problem that I'd much rather get married in another country and not have to deal with spending $26,000 on a wedding?  I know it is to feed my guests, make them drink all types of alcohol, and then send them home.  My problem is I'd rather use the $20,000 that is left for a house, a new car, or for my student loans.  Holy crap I am in a predictiment!
I was at my Grandparents yesterday and my Grandad (he is just so smart) said you two like to travel, go somewhere and get married.  How am I supposed to argue with that?  Oh yeah, I'd rather not take my Granddad/Nana/HubbsNan out of the country.  Boo! 

So I then looked into All-Inclusive's in the USA.  WOW Expensive! Just for 2 people it is about 3k.  You are still in the USA so why is it so much?! We can go to Mexico to an amazing resort like the Riu for that much.  Ugh... so angry with the pricing of stuff..

What do you guys think about it?

Diamond... we have a problem!

So I went to pick out my wedding band today - did not get anywhere except let down! I am not a big nit-picker when it deals with stuff, I am just a funny girl who basically goes with the flow.  But Huston Diamond, we have a problem ... haha.

The store told my fiance when he purchased my ring there was a band that matched it perfectly and not to worry.  When I went to the store to look at the choices and find which one I liked best THERE WERE NONE!   The lady said she would order some and we can come back in to try them on.  While eating lunch in Pittsburgh I received the call back that said the only band I could get that matched it would be more than the single band they offered($3250) and the single band would "Leave a gap between rings".  Who wants a band that does not match their ring and does not fit perfectly?   Why did the associate tell my future hubbster about the wedding band when there are none that match it anyway?  Very upset in the service ... That is just part of the problems that I dealt with on that day...  I absolutely hate when someone tells someone something just to get a sale, a rather large sale if I may say so, especially to someone who does not know anything about jewelry in the first place!

Tiny Prints

Besides bridal shower invitations and wedding invitations one main event keeps happening in our lives - babies!  When Britt was having her shower she sent out adorable invites and they matched her theme! I love when everything goes together, such as the decorations invitations, colors, and the gifts. 

A great company I had the privilege to work with is Tiny Prints. Their invitations and announcements are adorable! Most of the invitations that I love include bright colors and are easy to coordinate with.  The unique invites are a wonderful surprise to the guest, especially the ones I picked out!  

Birth announcements are another element that I love getting in the mail.  People usually send ones out from the hospital because they get packages, but if you or someone you know is going to have a baby soon think of Tiny Prints!  There were so many unique and cute ideas that it was hard to pull a few to show everyone.   Tiny Prints has the traditional look people often love as well as the option to have 5+ photos on your announcement.
