My boyfriend is a writer and one of his readers recently requested his help:
Her son had to raise a pig for a class project and had eventually grown attached to the pig and did not want to sent it to auction were it would have been sold and turned into a BLT 
The mother asked if my boyfriend could put a call for help in his popular column to see if someone would want to adopt the pig and save her from a horrible fate. He also promised that if no one responded that he would adopt her.
We are now the adoptive parents of Caboose a 200lb pig.
Unfortunately, the City of Irvine does not allow Caboose or any of her friends for that matter (boring!). But fortunately there are great organizations like Animal Acres in Los Angeles that do take farm animals in and give them a peaceful and just life. This will be Caboose’s new home on Monday.
Because i was too busy with the remodel and new section, i was not able to say my hello/goodbye to Caboose, but my boyfriend was nice enough to take a few photos.
I guess she rolls over when you scratch her belly and tried to eat his shoes 3 times.
On the list for future holiday gifts is this great find: dog portraits from Nepal.
Michelle Page, founder of the site, became intrigued by the various “danger dog” signs she saw in Nepal and also noticed that these artisan signs were being replaced by high-tech graphics. She now sell the artworks to galleries everywhere and in return saving livelihoods.
This is such a great idea for a gift (i believe they do cats as well), so personal and comic, but meaningful in the preservation of global arts and man’s best friend.
I am currently selecting a photo of my beloved daughter Sweet Pea for what will be the greatest masterpiece known to humankind…
(one of the many photos for consideration)
If you end up ordering one of these, please be sure to let me know so that i can have it shown on this blog.
i never thought that those words would come out, but i can’t tell you how happy i became after i read that both Nike & Reebok have both suspended sales of Michael Vick items. if you dont know, scumbag Vick (a famous football star) has recently pleaded not guilty (with some other douchebags) in federal court to a charge of conspiring to run an interstate dog-fighting operation.

i will be begging every night before i go to bed that these companies, along with the Atlanta Falcons will drop this poor excuse for a role model/human. and if i have been a really good girl this year, he will contract some rare disease where he constantly emits a strong poop smell.
send in a letter of your feelings to the Falcons
