This is where I get to say anything I feel like saying and you get to agree with me.
We will also share stories and chocolate if you have any.

Free Lucy

 FREE LUCY


Lucy’s Unlawful Captivity

Keeping Lucy captive without another elephant is against the government of Alberta’s standards for zoos. These laws clearly state that any animal living in a zoo should be in appropriate social groupings. Lucy has been alone for a few years now. Further, Alberta’s Animal Protection Act states, “No person shall cause or permit an animal of which the person is the owner or the person in charge to be or to continue to be in distress.”
There is little denying that leading a solitary existence has lead to Lucy’s great, prolonged distress. In fact, according to PETA, “Four renowned elephant experts have each unequivocally stated that Lucy is suffering and is deprived of any semblance of a normal life and that the conditions at the zoo causing Lucy’s illness and distress will only continue to exacerbate her health problems if she is not transferred to a sanctuary.”
Female elephants are known to spend most of their lives in close-knit family groups and as highly social animals, they need other elephants for their mental well-being. Lucy’s family bond was taken from her long ago and it’s almost certain she’ll never see her family again unless she is retired to a sanctuary with other elephants. She has the chance to love and be loved at that sanctuary.

Green things are good for you.

I have been eating so much asparagus, I am in danger of Asparagus Overdose.
I eat it steamed alone .. I love it on pasta .. I diced it up and mixed it with wild rice .. you can just dip it in mayonnaise and eat it by hand .. no one is looking, no one will judge. Try it.

I am not a fan of bags without straps but I made an exception for this one.
Anything but more snow ... a touch of green ivy is enough for me.
Soon ...

Mirror ...mirror ...

There are so many things I would copy in my next kitchen .. the shelves with white dishes and the wood floors especially.

I just happen to have a chandelier from Buenos Aires that would look good in the kitchen.

Idea Board

I am going to start posting photos that I will take from blogs and publications on the internet, of rooms , colors and objects for a sort of Idea Board here.
We can all obsess over the decorating of my new home ( please someone buy this house so I can get on with it !!)

There will probably not be any rhyme or reason to what I post and how it goes with the other posts .. it will be a Freethought Design Board ... yeah ! I like that !

So to start it off, I will use some of these photos that I like .. colors, style etc.

This is from the blog Victorian Realist .. the colors are wonderful. The chair and dog aren't bad either. That is the color of my kitten Minette ..she would look good sitting in that chair too !
This kitchen looks very much like the kitchen of the Little House ..
I would be happy with this.
then there is the matter of bedrooms.. two of which are under the eaves. how romantic is that ?
I saw a under the eaves bedroom in a magazine where the ceiling over the bed was papered with Toile.  This is definitely something I am considering.

Save a Pup

https://fundrazr.com/campaigns/9wFua/ab/a4VPX3

There is this young beautiful dog. A boxer.
You know how boxers have their tails cut short ?
Well , someone did a bad job ..  this poor beautiful dog is now in danger of dying , living in pain and being crippled, the list is long.

He will have surgery to correct all the damage that the botched surgery did but it is expensive.

The link takes you to the place where money can be donated and you can read his story.
He is a beautiful pup. A sweet beautiful dog who was so damaged by a human.

You can see him on the link .. I can't post the photo here , so someone isn't too upset if they set it without warning.

God bless the animals .. and I hope whoever did this to this dog roasts in Hell.

Please, give/donate to the surgery .. save the poor sweet pup.
Thank you ..

Help Save Mali

Free Mali

https://www.facebook.com/FreeMali



Mali is 40 years old. That is how long she has lived in that concrete enclosure. 40 years . 

Boon Lotts Animal Sanctuary

The Animal Sanctuary will take her in and love her and tend to her and she can live out what is left of her life in what will be a Heavenly place for her, food, people, animals, freedom, love and care.

The Animal Sanctuary has even offered money for her to take her and let her live a good life .. but the Filipino Officials always say no.
Her legs and feet are  bad from walking and standing for years on that hard concrete. She might not live that long, from the lack of care and horrible life she has.



These people should be shamed .
They should be shamed and only when they let her go to the Sanctuary should they be spoken to or have any tourists or be a friend of the US or any country that would never condone something like this.

If you live outside the Philippines, why not write a letter to your country’s Philippines Ambassador to ask that he/she does everything to help Mali?
