Your support is NEEDED now!




No-Kill Hampton Roads invites citizens to learn HOW to reform animal control and save more homeless animal's lives.

No-Kill Hampton Roads, a group of united local citizens, seeks to end the euthanasia of healthy and treatable animals in Hampton Roads shelters. No-Kill Hampton Roads aims to reform animal control in our area and push for the implementation of the No Kill Equation at our cities' shelters.

Animal advocates and interested citizens across Hampton Roads are invited to learn HOW.
May 22, 6:30PM
Meyera E. Oberndorf Central Library
4100 Virginia Beach Blvd. Va. Beach

The group will be showing "Reforming Animal Control" a dynamic presentation webinar by Ryan Clinton, an attorney and well know animal advocate from Austin Texas.

In this 1.5 hour video, Clinton outlines the steps he took to transform Austin from a high kill, low save rate shelter system to a city that embraced the lifesaving No Kill Equation.

Our communities killed over 15,000 dogs and cats in 2011. No-Kill Hampton Roads wants to see at least 9 out of 10 dogs and cats leave each Hampton Roads shelter alive. This is entirely achievable when citizens insist that those are the results wanted and expected from our tax-payer and donor funded shelters.

Of course I played the heck out of the game then!. The momma felt than now she could downgrade the treats. As if. She slipped in some turkey jerky. I ignored it... but dumb butts JD and Wendy went at it like crazy dogs. OY.

Best. Momma. Ever.

I don't have much time, I had to distract momma with new boxes and bubble wrap. You'd think I'd given her a chewy the way she scampered off!

I just needed some quiet time to write her a very nice momma's day post. She really is the Best. Momma. Ever. And I'm so happy she's mine. I love her very very much, here's why:

1. She is my person. When I'm sick or scared, I look for her and she makes everything ok. If JD steals my chewy (or if I just hide it and pretend he did), she is there with a new one. If people try to grab at me, she is there to protect me. I've heard she's done similar things for my 2legged siblings, but THEY ARE LIARS.

2. She isn't afraid of anything. Not squirrels, not weird humans with wheels [ed. note: she means people on  bikes], not ANY recipe ever, not carwash monsters, not starting a blog, not starting a business, not wearing a hat.

3. She makes up her own weird catch phrases. No momma! You're nowhere!!!! Deal with that reality.

4. She is comfortable for sleeping. She'll rub my belly until her hand hurts. She'll stay up with me when I'm sick.

5. She is the very best shopping partner. She lets me sniff anything I want!!! [Ed. note: Silvie is so right on this one. We always getting fitting rooms across from each other so we can see each other's outfits more easily. Once, a woman overheard us talking and said, "Is that your mother?" When I said yes, she said, "She is so supportive and nice! I wish my mother were like that." I know, everyone does.]

6. She is teaching me to cook. I watch her make that most delicious food every day! I love it! [Ed. note: That's exactly how Adam and I learned to cook! Now he has a blog and I'm starting a business.]

7. She is silly and sometimes we just laugh at nothing for hours.

Ok, I could go on and on, but I don't hear packing noises anymore. I better hurry up!!!

Happy,
'vie (with a little help from dowi)

Happy Mother's Day
