I know, I know, it's been way too far and few between with these blog posts, but I promise that my life has calmed down a bit and I'll update much more frequently!!
Speaking of calming down (not!), we rescued ourselves a little puppy! World, meet Juliet....
She's brought so much joy to us in the few short weeks we've had her, and I'm pretty sure she is thankful to have been rescued!!
We rescued her from the North Shore Animal League in Long Island, New York. The staff was wonderful, as are all of the medical staff and doctors. For all of you who are considering getting a new pet, think twice before spending a gazillion dollars on a purebred or puppy store dog. While I believe all dogs deserve homes, I am actively against puppy mills. There are thousands of animals, like Juliet, that need homes desperately. Adopting Juliet was inexpensive (under $200!), and beyond rewarding.
Just look at her face, come on! How could anybody pay thousands of dollars on poorly bred puppy mill dogs, when they can save a love-mutt from being put to sleep?!!
If you are interesting in rescuing, the following are some noteworthy organizations and sites:

And um, who doesn't cry at those adoption commercials with the Sarah McLachlan songs?!
