NOW FOR ANOTHER AMAZING ANIMAL VIDEO (warm & fuzzy, not sad)

You’ll see an amazing animal in this video. It’s a horse named Blue Hors Matine. She and her rider, Andreas Helgstrand, are famous dressage competitors. Dressage is sometimes called Horse Ballet.

That sounds like something invented by stuffy European aristocrats. And that’s probably true. But it’s also fascinating to watch. Blue Hors Matine is impressive.

You’ve never seen a horse move like this. She dances effortlessly across the arena. She even keeps time with the music. This sport might be a bit obscure. But it certainly is interesting.

Look at this little talented booger!!

You think the last little escape artist was good, wait till you get a look at this guy! Wow is all I can say.

Have a fabulous weekend...

Escape Artist

This has to be the most adorable & brilliant escape artist that I have ever seen!!! Dog On The Run

STORE UPDATE . . .

All clothes are still $1.00 per item (due to the speed of how we blow through the clothes, I am putting new items out daily!) Shoes are $2.00

See you soon.....

"Challenger" the bald eagle

If you are patriotic in the least, or just love watching the heart warming videos, this is definitely worth seeing.
    He's a 'human socialized' bird accidentally raised by the people who
 rescued him - after being blown from a wild Louisiana nest in a storm as a
 baby in the late 1980s. Declared 'non-releasable' by federal and state
 wildlife authorities, he was trained by the AEF to perform educational
 free-flight demonstrations at high profile public events.

  He's the first Bald Eagle in U.S. history that learned to free-fly into
 stadiums, arenas and ballrooms during the singing of the Star Spangled
 Banner. The celebrity eagle has appeared at numerous major sporting
 events...like the World Series, Pro-Bowl, All-Star game, BCS National
 Championship, Fiesta Bowl and Men's Final Four, etc. "Challenger" has also flown before 4U.S.Presidents! His life story is told in a children's
 storybook titled "Challenger", America's Favorite Eagle. Named in honor of the space shuttle...........................

After such raving response from so many of you, we have decided to keep clothing at $1.00 per item!

For the next 50 pet owners that visit the store, receive a FREE tennis ball for your pet! Pick one up for your furry grand-babies too.

Man's New Best Friend

Can a horse be man's best friend? Well a horse named Patches is trying to give dogs a run for the money as "Man's Best Friend". See this VERY funny video of Patches going to the drive-thru to eat cheeseburgers with his owner, bringing him a beer and sleeping in a bed. You got to see this to believe it!

Have a great Monday folks. See you soon . . .

My ultimate dream . . .

Woman after my own heart! Some day I will have the property to rescue to this multitude!!!

Be sure to stop by the store and don't forget . . . ALL clothing and shoes are now a dollar. You read it right, $1.00 so time to get a new wardrobe folks.

Namaste'

"Christian" the lion & MSN

Here is the clip from the today show interviewing "Christian's" rescuers. Still makes me weep watching this incrediable story. Be sure to click the pause button on the music, so that you can actually hear the video.

Grab a tissue . . . your'e gonna need it!

This is just what I needed this morning, and yes it made me cry . . . but it was a good cry indeed! And humans think that the furry ones forget the bond . . . PLEASE!!!!!!

Thank you Jen P for sending this to me!

Warm fuzzies . . . remember those?

This is absolutely amazing! I love to watch it over & over & over, it's just precious. Although I have to agree with his wife, I would have never believed this had I not seen it with my own eyes. Cute factor indeed.....

Time to feel some furry luv . . .

Thank you Martha for sharing this adorable video! I just love watching the gentleness!!!!! I will post another this afternoon that will definitely warm ALL of your hearts!

National Tragedy . . . Step up folks!!!! You can help!

A few days ago I posted JD's idea about reaching out and trying to help feed the needy that were possibly facing foreclosure or already in foreclosure and looking at having to surrender their best friends. Then I see this today on MSNBC. What are the chances of that happening? A coincidence you say? I think not! This is exactly what we were talking about folks! There is a national tragedy going on with our dear beloved pets. Please help if you can, if we all adopted just ONE, imagine the change we could make! If you cannot adopt then donate monetary funds. Ten dollars a month to these shelters can be a huge help! If you would like to donate through us, we will get the funds to them. Please find it in your heart to help. Remember . . . they all deserve A CHANCE AT LIFE!! Pets are the silent victims.................................................

Keep your tissue handy . . .

Please consider adopting the elderly! You too will be old one day and will still crave unconditional love. They do too . . .

Just imagine for one moment that there is a possibility that this is exactly how they feel and think!

I promise that I will post some happy stuff this afternoon. How about some incredible items in the store?

Namaste' my friends,

Denita

If you do not believe that they can be rehabilitated then just watch this!

Hopefully you will take the time to watch this video so that you too can see that it really is possible to rehabilitate a pit bull! Not just any pit bull, but one of the many that were rescued from the horrible monster . . . Michael Vick!!

Thanks to Martha for having the passion and taking the time to find these videos, so that we may share them with all of you.

Hope you have a wonderful Monday that is full of sloppy kisses!

And here's the one I found! Absolutely remarkable . . .

Afraid of visious pit bulls? Then check this out . . .

Stole this from my new friend & pit lover, Martha. (link to her blog is  . . . It's my dog's world I just live in it)

Priceless is all I can say!
