Forever Home Wanted For These Adorable Animals

I have a wonderful and caring young man in my classroom who works at our Vets office. He knows I am a sucker for an animal in need but with two elderly dogs with health problems and our new rescue dog we just don't have any room in our home for another pet.

Kyle knew I love animals and brought me photos of these beautiful animals that will soon wind up in our local animal shelter. The Vet where Kyle works has been taking care of these animals since they were brought in to him but living in a Vets office is no place for an animal to live. Each and every one of these animals just needs to find one person who could open their hearts to the possibility of an unconditional love like you've never known.

Please remember that there are hundreds of dogs and cats like these that have been abandoned and would love to fill your home with love and joy. Thank you so much.

***************UPDATE***************************

All of the cats has been taken by a local rescue organization. They still need a home so as soon as I get more info I will post it. The puppy Matilda still needs a home. I will be updating his information Monday when he is scheduled to be send to the pound. 

On Any Given Day - Part Two

So over to Online-Sweepstakes I go. Being a creature of habit I glance at the forums. Some headlines catch my eye but there’s no time for that now. I want to click on each link and read what people have to say but I just know that the sands of the hour glass are slipping through faster than usual.

Even the way I enter contests has certain sameness about it. I always enter the contests that are going to end that day. Well not every one of them. I don’t end the single entry ones. I usually enter those when they are first posted. Then I enter the daily sweeps that end tomorrow. The daily sweeps that enter the day after tomorrow are the last ones I enter that are getting ready to end.

The next round of entries is from my mysweeps part of Online-Sweepstakes. I enter the dailies, well daily. I believe I have about twenty five of them. Some people get really in to making all the dailies with any kind of good prize part of their mysweeps dailies. I just put the ones I’m truly interested in. Things that are life changing to me, like a trip to France, $500,000, or a trip to Sandals. I do have one 24 Hour Sweep under Mysweeps but I enter it when I think of it throughout the week or I just enter it on the weekends. I only enter my weekly Mysweeps on Sundays. I enter my monthly Mysweeps on the first day of the month or at least by the first Sunday of the month.

Most mornings I try to get these done before I shower and if not by then definitely by the time I leave for school. Lately, with all the twittering and digging I am lucky to get the sweeps that are ending that day.

I shower, dress, apply a scant bit of make-up, and then rush downstairs to make sure the dogs go out to do their business. Sometimes the little dog needs coaching. Translate this to mean, holding a small treat just beyond his snout as I walk out backwards with him in hot pursuit of the treat. After receiving his treat he seeks out a piece of ground worth of receiving his excrement. Now mind you this can be a mind-numbing feet of patience meets persistence. It does eventually happen though and then it’s back into the house we go.

Once back in the house, I maybe have ten minutes to enter a couple of more sweeps before I have to dash out the door. That is I might have it if the dogs go right upstairs so I can keep them in the room with Darryl before I leave.

Now here's some amazing news. I have been working so hard on thriftymaven.com and today I got some great news. I've had 1,320 viewers to my site over the past 24 hours. AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!
