The National did an interview with Carol, and the crippled crew, just under a year ago and I thought you'd all like to see it.
In the 4 months I've been back here, there have been 7 animals that passed. 7 souls who were essentially dumped and trashed because they became too much of a problem. For any reason...like they became incontinent. But what most people don't know is that most times incontinence can be averted with proper medication. And inexpensively too!
I had a couple of videos of my dogs and some photos and tried in vain to upload them...but this damn wireless in the hills of Mission kept knocking itself out. I shall try again tomorrow. * big sigh *
VIDEO
And a photo I took a few years back of Tang. He's one brother of a 3 brother crew...Tang, Mango and Sunny. All healthy, all relatively young, but no one wants to adopt them. HUH???
very cool video! and great picture mom! i must get my photo skills from you :)
ReplyDeleteYou have your own photo skills babe. You definitely have *the eye*. Thanks for the compliment! Glad you liked the video.
ReplyDeleteI do know you get your softness for the animals from me...does that sound egotistical? You are one human I never will need to curse for the care of your cats. I KNOW you will go to any lengths for Sal and Sam. They are lucky they landed with you and Sumeet!

ReplyDeleteIMMEDIATE RELEASE
CardSwap.ca first in Canada: Launches to redeem $600M of unused gift cards
Toronto - CardSwap.ca is a peer-to-peer online market for discounted gift cards. It serves two types of people: Savvy shoppers who are looking to save money before heading to the malls, 10-40% off face value; and gift card holders who would prefer to have cash. With registrants doubling monthly, CardSwap launches this holiday season by providing trusted third-party services to this unserved niche of consumers. It’s like an eBay exclusively for gift cards, but better, as CardSwap provides a guarantee on the funds and value in the card.
It is estimated that as much as 10-19% of gift cards are never redeemed, probably forgotten or lost. In a $6 billion dollar Canadian industry, this is a huge problem.
CardSwap is now giving consumers holding these unwanted gift cards a choice. Simply: Register, post the gift card up for sale (which is verified before listed) then sit back. The seller will receive an email notification when the card is sold. Sellers have full control over the price of the gift cards and are charged 6% (minimum $4.50) of the sale price.
In the current economic climate consumers are looking for ways to stick to a budget with minimal change to their current lifestyle. Not only can consumers receive a 10-40% discount they can be sure that all the gift cards posted are valid, secure and can be purchased quickly and conveniently.
CardSwap has already attracted thousands of registered users who have enthusiastically embraced this new online site. This Toronto based company, is the first in Canada but has already been proven by the several successful sites in the US. In this era of free information, consumers are able to connect using easy to navigate technology for very specific reasons, such as e-commerce sites like CardSwap.
