URGENT...Dogs and Cats to be Euthanized in TWO DAYS!

A Mentally Ill Hoarder is indicted !!!!!!!!!!!! His 40+ dogs and numerous cats are arriving at an already full shelter. All 40 dogs have to be held for a court date, so the ones there now have to be euthanized in order to make space for these new dogs!! The Hampshire County Animal Control tries very hard not to euthanasia, but they are out of space for this URGENT situation; The dogs have till June 23 and 24 !!ALL DOGS WILL DIE IF NOT RESCUED OR ADOPTED; please look at the dogs below and try to help, even taking one dog will help the rest. Contact: Laurel at 304-492-5442 or Hampshirecountyac@aol.com. Shelter cell is 304-671-4704 and main # is 304-496-9379

PLEASE HELP THESE WONDERFUL DOGS! Most Dogs are Very Rescue Friendly but will be PTS due to not enough Rescues and too many animals in this EMERGENCY SITUATION. Please help them. The more we can find a place for, the fewer will be put down. Thanks.

IF you cannot foster or adopt, please pass the information along on your blog or mailing list so we can save these animals!

Can you tell I am ready for fall? I am already drooling over cable-knit sweaters and wool slacks and tote bags for back-to-school! Is this hat adorable? I could do without the silver, but it's SO cute! But another hat has already stolen my heart...now if only someone could identify it. (I may post that one later!)

The Kooba Paige arrived in my mailbox on Saturday in the Bergdorf Goodman Fall Preview magazine. What a gorgeous bag! And a great price! There is already a long list for this one, so if you want it you should definitely call BG and get on the list. The bag should be arriving sometime next month. YAY for fall!

The new Balenciaga Part Time bag. The first round of pre-fall colors (browns, black, blanc, red and blueberry) are arriving in the next week or so, but I am waiting for this color to come in August/September.

Man Wrestles Alligator to Save Dog

Every once in a while we see someone who is actually worthy of their animal. To this guy's credit, he fought an alligator on its turf (or pond, rather) to save his dog when the dog (off the leash) ran ahead and almost became the alligator's breakfast. We need more pet owners like this! Thanks to BalenciagaLove for sending me this story. And to the people who left their dog in the SUV while they had dinner tonight in 90 degree heat, take a lesson from this DESERVING pet owner and DON'T LEAVE YOUR DOG IN A HOT CAR...EVER! If you leave an animal in a hot car, you don't deserve to have an animal. It's called animal cruelty for a reason.
