Today we are joining our friends at 2 Brown Dawgs blog for This ‘N That Thursday. It’s an anything goes kind of day and I’m in an anything goes kind of mood. Sounds like a perfect fit to me!
Please stop by 2 Brown Dawgs and see what they’re up to!
Human Shaming
My goal when I sit down to write a blog post is to bring a smile to someone’s face, it’s not always easy with some of the topics I tackle which is why when an opportunity comes to let it rip, I try and jump on that bandwagon.
Well friends, the opportunity is next Wednesday. Back by popular demand Heart Like a Dog will be taking part in the Human Shaming Blog Hop hosted by Kol’s Notes and My Brown Newfies. For those readers new to the blog, Sampson and Delilah really took me to task last year. If you’re interested you can read all about it here. Funny stuff? Yes. A little embarrassing? Definitely!!
To be truthful, I’m a tad bit nervous thinking of the humiliating photos I’ve had taken this year and wondering what those two will come up with.
The Flooding in Colorado
I’m sure by now you’ve heard the horror stories coming out of Colorado, they are calling it the 100 year flood and it means exactly that, the type of flooding that generally happens only once in a 100 year period.
As you know, when a natural disaster affects people it also affects our pets. The numbers are staggering:
- 21 helicopters were being used Monday for evacuations
- 11,750 people have been evacuated
- 8 people have lost their lives
- 658 people are still unaccounted for, which means no one has been able to get a hold of them. This number continues to decline as more people are rescued.
- This is being called the 100 Year Flood, here’s a little on what that means: http://pubs.usgs.gov/fs/FS-229-96/
- Approximately 2,377 agricultural properties have been affected
- 36 shelters are now open serving hundreds of people and pets
- Flood conditions are spread across 200 miles covering 15 counties (these facts are courtesy of BlogPaws.)
As a member of The Blogger Disaster Response Network, I’ve taken a pledge to help get the word out, so people who are interested in helping know where to go to help.
No surprise but many companies have stepped up to help animals that are affected by this disaster, I urge you to check out the BlogPaws website if you are interested in helping.
