Life is a Journey

It never ceases to amaze me when I hear about people abandoning their pets. WHY? In this day and age can you not use the Internet to contact people far and wide and send out a message asking someone to take in your pet???? This poor little guy lived a sad, frightening life until Hope for Paws and Eldad rescued him. Watch this neat video and PLEASE share. Thanks!

In July, 2008, Julie Andrews was honored with a very special horse on the Disneyland carousel. Check it out the next time you visit the Park.

There have been many times when I have overheard someone say "Oh the line is just too darn long - forget it!" Last Tuesday night I noticed something very interesting...and this is good news for you.

Her name is Charisma and she is adorable. One day, she saw Mary Poppins in the park and nearly melted with adoration for her as you can see in the photo below.
