Have you voted?!

Well, have you?!

As a reminder, log onto zootoo.com (creating an account is simple and free), upload a profile picture, and vote for the Central Missouri Humane Society.

You can vote 10 times a day, every day (through this coming Sunday).

The voting link is a little tricky to find. You can either:

• Click on home (far left button on the top), then click on the little "vote" image on the right hand side.
• Click on "Help Pets" (same toolbar as Home, but on the right side, next to the white parrot), select Shelter Makeover II.
• Or go straight to: http://www.zootoo.com/americavotes/vote
  

So many options. Please vote (10 times a day this whole week)! It's easy, and the animals will appreciate it!

Are you ready to vote tomorrow?!

Don't forget - voting for a makeover for CMHS on zootoo.com starts tomorrow. We just need ten votes a day for 7 little days!

And yes, I've heard about the situation with last year's winner. It's an interesting situation to say the least, but this contest has generated a ton of publicity for us, and any makeover is better than no makeover! It seems that last year's winner expected a million dollar check. That was never the intention of the website (to my knowledge). Basically, they wanted it to be like Extreme Home Makeover - they come into your community and drum up support from within. I personally think that's an awesome idea.

Flowers can be ugly

Beautiful tulips, no (I just got them from a Google image search)? They're beautiful until your dog ingests them, and then you have to induce vomiting with hydrogen peroxide because they're pretty darn toxic to dogs.

Good reference to have on hand: http://www.aspca.org/pet-care/poison-control/plants/

Holy crap!! CMHS in the top 10!!

So, as I've posted about a lot, The Central Missouri Humane Society is in a competition for a million dollar shelter makeover, and it was just announced that we made it to the final phase, where America votes on who they want to be the winner!

SO FREAKING EXCITING!

Anyone reading this anywhere - I need your help. Here's what I need you to do:

1. If you're not already a member, go to www.zootoo.com, create a free account, and add a profile picture.
2. Starting at Noon (eastern) on Monday, April 13, you're allowed 10 votes each day through the end of the day on Sunday, April 19 (my birthday, so do this as a gift to me). 70 clicks from you is all we need.
3. Make sure when you vote, you're voting for the Central Missouri Humane Society!!
   

This is seriously almost a reality. It's crazy!

The ONE thing that makes me sad about spring.

I love spring. Absolutely love it. Warming weather, my birthday, blooming flowers - all of it!

However, the one tiny thing that makes me sad about Spring's arrival is that I won't be able to wear these super cute new shoes for 6 months.
I found them this weekend, and it was love at first sight. I realize I'll wear them only a small handful of times a year, but they make me happy. I want to wear them with jeans and a lovely sweater rich with fall colors. They're officially my Thanksgiving shoes. But alas, I shall have to wait to wear them. But at least that means I'll forget about them over the summer and fall in love with them all over again once the weather starts to get cool again!

A great accessory!

If you wear a lot of brown, this is totally the dog for you!

Really I just wanted an excuse to post a picture of the cute puppy - obviously I'm kidding about the accessory thing. Anyone who would buy a dog as an accessory deserves a swift kick to the ass, and I'll be first in line to deliver it. But if otherwise you're a great home and want a new puppy, she would coordinate quite nicely if brown is a dominant color in your wardrobe. :)

We've had several inquiries on the tiny puppy, but no applications filled out yet. We've got a little time - her spay is scheduled for April 21, so she won't be going anywhere until then. I just hope she'll be heading to her home soon after that!

Adorable

That adorable, roly poly thing is still available for adoption (the brown one, not the white one). If anyone is interested, let me know! :)
