Time Magazine Article

I've noticed I tend to get on a topic and stick with it for a while. There are some things I'm very passionate about though, and feel they need repeating. Lately it's been the puppy mills, mainly because of the goings-on with Missourians for the Protection of Dogs and their ballot initiative.

But anyone who has read my blogs know that I'm equally passionate about dispelling the Alpha/Dominance Myth. So, when I saw this article linked on Victoria Stillwell's Facebook page, I thought it was worth sharing. Aside from local papers and news reports, I'm not aware of any mainstream media tackling this topic (if you know of anyone, please let me know).

I don't think there's anything new I can say about this topic, so I won't bother to expand on it here. I'll just leave the link for you to read yourself.

Broken Hearts, Mended Souls Rescue

Broken Hearts, Mended Souls Rescue dropped off some flyers this weekend. On Thursday, July 29, 2010, bring in a flyer (available at Mudd Puppies among other places) and 15% of your purchase at either Shakespeare's Pizza in Columbia will go to the Broken Hearts, Mended Souls Rescue Spay and Neuter Fund. "Everything on the menu counts: any pizza, salad, gift card or drink... take home some frozen pizzas for later."

If you've read my blog, you know I'm a strong advocate against puppy mills. Another piece of that puzzle in controlling the homeless pet over-population is being sure to spay and neuter your dog. I can't advocate this program, and others like it, more strongly. I hope everyone who reads this will participate.
