Mitzy is a two year old Brittany Spaniel/Chocolate Lab mix. She is a wonderful dog who loves to play, especially fetch, and loves to go for rides in the car. She knows how to sit, shake and heel.
Mitzy's family loved her very much. They had her spayed, as all responsible pet-owners should, and took her to the Vet for the least little problem. Mitzy was a member of the family, and when a member of your family is sick, you take them to the doctor.
However, about six months ago, the father of Mitzy's family lost his job. The result was so financially devastating that they could no longer afford to care for Mitzy and were forced to surrender her to the Missaukee Humane Society.
Given the exponential descent of our economy, Mitzy's story has become all too common. But, there is something you can do to help. Missaukee Humane Society (MHS) is a small shelter in rural northern Michigan, dependent on contributions to continue their mission of mercy. They are one of the only no-kill animal shelters left in Michigan, and are currently running on a deficit, at full capacity. Many mornings, the staff arrives to find abandoned pets, left overnight by owners who can no longer afford to feed or care for them.
Right now, MHS is attempting to win a $10,000 prize from Adopt-a-Pet.com. Please, can you spare 30 seconds of your time to vote for MHS, by clicking on...

$10,000 could save literally hundreds of abandoned pets - Pets that give us nothing but unconditional love in exchange for an occasional pat on the head, a squeaky toy to play with, and a couple of bowls filled with food and fresh water.
Because MHS is in a rural, sparsely populated area, they need as many votes as possible from all across the state, and all across the country. Please vote now at...

Time is running out, so please don't wait. The contest ends January 31, 2009, at 11:59pm. After you vote, you will have an opportunity to forward information about the contest to as many people as possible so that they can join you in this worthy cause.

I thank you, and Mitzy thanks you.

As our economic crisis continues to worsen, some of the most vulnerable among us can not speak for themselves - Unwanted and abandoned pets.

The one absolute, unselfish friend that man can have in this selfish world—the one that never deserts him, the one that never proves ungrateful or treacherous—is his dog…a man’s dog stands by him in prosperity and in poverty, in health and in sickness. He will sleep on the cold ground, where the wintry winds blow and the snow drives fiercely, if only he can be near his master’s side. He will kiss the hand that had no food to offer, he will lick the wounds and sores that come in encounter with the roughness of the world. He guards the sleep of his pauper master as if he were a prince. When all other friends desert, he remains. When riches take wings and reputation falls to pieces he is as constant in his love as the sun in its journey through the heavens. If fortune drives the master forth an outcast in the world, friendless and homeless, the faithful dog asks no higher privilege than that of accompanying him to guard against danger, to fight against his enemies. And when the last scene of all comes, and death takes the master in its embrace, and his body is laid away in the cold ground, no matter if all other friends pursue their way, there by his graveside will the noble dog be found, his head between his paws, his eyes sad but open in alert watchfulness, faithful and true even to death.

Volunteer for Dr Hunter, help win back the House of Representatives
Linked to groups: Democracy For America - Oklahoma City
Dear Friends,David Hunter MD is working hard to raise the financial support to spread his message of preventative medicine, affordable health care, a real and measurable plan for exiting Iraq, and other important issues. Our opponent is scared; she has withdrawn from two debates and is avoiding any events Dr. Hunter attends. There will be at least one debate she can't avoid, and I know you are looking forward to a real debate on the issues that matter to you and all of the 5th district. But all of this still is not enough.
This race will be very close and it will probably be decided by what happens "in the field." Volunteer efforts through canvassing, phone banking, and handing out literature in public places can influence an election 5 or even 10%. That is why we need your help now! We must have volunteer support to make this campaign a success on the ground. Help us recruit more community activists! Your choice to act or not will determine the outcome of this election on November 7th!
Sincerely in solidarity,
--

Sorry! The "Iraq for Sale" prescreening will have to be canceled due to lack of interest. [Apologies to those who were interested.]Unfortunately, we did not generate enough confirmed attendees by the deadline, and I missed the second deadline to buy a copy of the DVD myself. Oh well!
