LAST CALL!! Lots of AMAZING prizes and A GOOD CAUSE!!
In this, the inaugural review on the channel, we look at a beer that is made in part from leftover bread- a statement against industrial food wastage.
Breadboard, brewed by Tiny Rebel, is a decent pale ale, from an outstanding brewery with an amazing message… additionally money from each bottle goes to the charity Surfers Against Sewage!
Have you tried this beer, if so what do you think to it?
Special Needs Cat Show: A Purrfect way to help rescue cats in need
They may be missing an eye or two, some with crooked jaw/teeth, some with medical or physical needs. No matter what they look like, these extra special felines are purrfect just the way they are and they deserve to be loved. It won’t be easy to take care of them but Milo’s knows how rewarding it is to take in an animal that would otherwise sit in a shelter with no chance for adoption just because the cat is blind or has injuries from an accident or abuse.
That’s why Milo’s is hosting a very unique cat show and convention Saturday, September 13 in the Los Angeles area called “Walk A Mile In Our Paws”.
Beautiful black and white girl, shelter name was Rhumba, was picked up from the streets of Rialto in March 2016 and taken to the Devore Animal Shelter. She was originally listed as Rescue Only for Behavior but then quickly changed to Friendly/Adoptable once they saw how sweet she was. Unfortunately, being locked in a kennel stressed Rhumba out to the point that she began attacking her own tail, not playfully but with real anger. The shelter changed her status back to Rescue Only and put her on the list to euthanize.
I had visited Rhumba at the shelter twice while taking videos of the cats and really fell for her. I was already overflowing with foster and personal cats at home, though, so I waited to see who would rescue her. But as the day went on, I realized I would just have to make it work or she would die. Nell, a fellow foster mom, offered to take Rhumba to the vet and get her through the ISO period. Safe at Nell’s house, she completely stopped attacking her tail.
Once she got to my house and my husband and I got to know her better we decided to change her name to Rousey. She proved to be one of the easiest going fosters I’d ever had. As cute and sweet as she is, I never expected to be fostering her for almost 2 years! Rousey attended many adoption events and stayed at the Petsmart adoption center in Santa Ana several times in hopes of finding her forever home. When KD secured another adoption center, this one at the Petco in Santee, I signed Rousey up for a stay in November. And that’s where she found her happily ever after!
One of the Petco employees, Jenn, fell in love with her! Rousey is now named Moo-Moo and is getting all the love and attention that she always wanted and deserved. She is an only kitty but has a couple lizards and hamsters and fish to entertain her when her mom is at work. And when her mom is at home, she gets lots of snuggles!
I am so happy to be a part of the Kitty Devore Rescue team where I get to help wonderful kitties like Rhumba/Rousey/Moo-Moo find their happily ever afters!
In honor of vulture awareness day, let me ask you a question.
Do you love vultures?
You should.
Here’s why:
1, They are simultaneously the most majestic, and the most f*cking derpy of birbs. Observe -
2. THEY’RE SO FUCKING BADASS. We all know that they eat dead things. Eww, right? Wrong. They’re capable of digesting fucking rabies, cholera, hundreds of strains of bacteria that would straight up kill your ass given the chance. They deserve ALL of the respect, but they don’t get any, because ‘eww they eat dead things’.
3. THEY ARE FUCKING AMAZING AT WHAT THEY DO - Some of the highest flying birds ever recorded, with amazing eyesight and smell. Vultures are highly specialised - yes, that means they sometimes have bald heads. So what? People are all over sphinx cats and those semi-hairless dogs.
4. If you think they’re ugly, well, look at these precious babs and tell me you still don’t feel anything:
I have more reasons, but, look, I’ll just get straight to the point:
THEY’RE GOING EXTINCT, AND MORE PEOPLE NEED TO KNOW.
Populations of some vultures have fallen more than 90% in the last 20 years, and that’s scary as fuck. Reasons for this range from livestock carcasses being contaminated with certain drugs, to poachers killing them off because vultures give them away. But whatever the reasons, they’re dying off fast, and we need to act before it’s too late. We need to help protect them and conserve them as much if not more than some of the ‘cuter’ endangered creatures.
So what can you do? Here are some useful links if you want to learn more:
Please consider helping our seldom appreciated vulture buddies, either by donating, or even just by helping to change their bad reputation!!
They really are amazing birds ~ thank you for sticking with my long-ass post
:P
IT’S THAT TIME OF YEAR AGAIN, PALS!!!!
in the last year, I’ve visited several bird of prey specialist centres, many of which are now actively championing the plight of our vulture friends - trying hard to endear them to the public and supporting/ participating in overseas causes that help in various ways. One of these places was the Hawk Conservancy Trust which, if you’re in the UK, I HIGHLY recommend - both for the quality of the centre and the displays they run, and for the extensive conservation work they do at home and overseas!
Anyway, enough talk. It’s time to appreciate this sleepy boy.
But you forgot my most favorite of all!! The Bearded Vulture (Lammergeier or Ossifrage)!!!
It’s that time of year for an Ugly Sweater Christmas Party! Walking For Mommy and Love Soundz are having a great event for a great cause. Bring a toy and get in free!
Thursday, December 19th at Live Mixx Lounge in Old Town Pasadena. Starts at 9:30 p.m.
A few days ago, I made a post inviting you to make some money for a good cause you care about, simply by surfing the web! I’m happy to say that rather a few of you signed up and are giving now to healthcare, clean water, education or any mixture of causes you have chosen. Thanks so much for signing on already!
If you missed it, not to worry. Sign up here for Tab for a Cause, a really easy way you can make a difference without putting in much work at all. A few weeks of tabbing alone can easily provide enough money to give clean water to a person for a year. It’s all about what we can do when we join together: surf the web, save the world.
