Thursday, asking for help…

This is something I don’t usually do, actually I don’t think I have ever done something like this.
So it’s a first time thing.

There is a place that has a big part of my heart.

pet's

(you can click on the banner to learn more about it)

This is a no kill shelter.  It gives a home to cats and dogs forever if they are not adopted.
I have know about Pet’s Inc for a long time.
But it was in 2005 when my brother died that they became part of my heart.
Will had 5 dogs.  They were his children.  They were now orphans.
I live in a condo and couldn’t take them and needed to find a place for them quickly.

I called a couple of places that did not have room for more dogs and couldn’t take them.
I wouldn’t give them to a place that would keep them for two weeks and if not adopted euthanize them.
I just could not do that.

Then I called Pet’s Inc.
They didn’t have room.  I told them my story.  They made room.
Not only did they make room;  
one of the volunteers went to Will’s house (for a week) and fed the dogs until we could get 
them rounded up and transported to the shelter.

They helped me more than they will ever know.
I can not thank them enough for their help and for their care and compassion for animals.
It was hard losing my brother and I could not bear the thought of having the dogs euthanized.

Pet’s Inc. is now in a national competition to win money, $100,000, to build a dog park.
They are in one of fifteen cities that have a chance to win this amazing gift.
They need votes!
Will you vote?
Please.

Teddy and I thank you.

Tuesday, Z is for zip…

9045744_s

I like people with zip.

You know, people who are energetic.
They are rarely too tired to do something or go somewhere.
They may have aches and pains but aren’t stopped by them.

People with zip are fun to be around but they can wear you out.
Unless you are a person with zip it is best to take these folks in small doses.

Today, I think I am more of a nap person than a zip one.

And so ends the 2013 A to Z Challenge.
I had fun with this and I hope you did, too.

Now back to my (ir)regular scheduled posting.

Tuesday, T is for trustworthy…

9045733_s

I like trustworthy people.

Trustworthy people are reliable and faithful.
If they say they are going to do something they do it;
doesn’t matter if it is important or trivial it gets done.
If they say they are going to be somewhere they are there;
even if they would rather be somewhere else.
  Something said to them in confidence is never repeated;
 your secrets are safe with them.

People who are trustworthy respect others;
it doesn’t matter what the relationship is
family, friend ,co-worker, client, acquaintance, stranger.

They are honest honorable folks.

trust

Today, I think trustworthy people are not given the respect they deserve.

Monday, S is for simple…

9045730_s

I like simple people.

People who have no hidden agenda.    
They not only don’t have hidden agendas they aren’t looking for them in other folks.
They are uncomplicated and pretty easy to understand.   
They aren’t trying to be anyone but who you see in front of you.

Simple people are happy with what they have; they don’t need a lot of stuff.
These people are more interested in other folks and their stuff.

There aren’t too many simple people around.
It’s a complicated world we live in.

Today, I think I will try to be more simple in who I am and how I live.

Saturday, R is for risk-takers…

9045732_s

I like people who are risk-takers.

I am not talking about people who run with the bulls or bungee jump or stuff like that.
They certainly are risk-takers and I say \O/ them.
But I am talking about people who take risks to achieve something
other than to say they have done it and survived the challenge.

Those who speak up for those who cannot speak for themselves…risk .
Those who champion causes that are unpopular…risk.
People who take their faith with them to work or school…risk.
Folks whose lives are different from what is considered acceptable…risk.

These kind of risk-takers are ordinary people who live quiet lives, bravely.
They aren’t looking for pats-on-the-back or high-fives.
They ask for no reward.
They just live their lives honestly and with determination.

catdogs

Today, I think it takes a brave person to risk going against the pack.

Saturday, L is for liberated…

9045731_s

I like liberated people.

Liberated people have let go of the past and don’t worry about the future.
They live in the present.
They don’t fret about what other people think.  
They decide for themselves what their life will be and how they will live it.     
Liberated folks have courage and are strong.

strut

Today, I think I will try struttin’ my stuff my way.

Wednesday, I is for improvise…

8978270_s

I like people who  improvise.  

The have great imaginations and ideas.  
If something needs to be done they can figure out a way to do it.   
No need to do something the way it has always been done.
Just tell them what is needed and they will find a way to accomplish the task
with what is available to them without making a big fuss.

Today, I think the most creative people are those who can improvise.
