Pampered Whiskers (home of That Cat! Originals pet hats) is a two year old Houston TX business whose objective is to help animals who are not as fortunate as our own, while brightening a pet lovers day. A portion of the proceeds from each sale goes to help shelters and rescue organizations who are working hard to stop the growth of the homeless animal community.

Chihuahuas, of course are also gearing up for Cinco de Mayo, I found this cool site over atmy friend  Jemma (and Tofu too)’s

New Four Footed Friends

missy_1

Missy is new to Provincetown, she is my neighbor at the shop, and she likes Cape Cod just fine.

n100000554530866_18071




I met Stacey Mae Mountain on Facebook, she is a 3 year old Greater Swiss Mountain Dog and she has just launched a blog .   Stacey is full of positive, loving energy and is a frequent Nursing home visitor, so that makes her even more awesome!    Word is she may be getting a Lab or Border Collie sibling soon, so be on the lookout.

hpim6390Lorenza is my Doxie friend from Torreon, Coahuila, Mexico.   She is a happy go lucky little doll with a large collection of dresses…I also heard she is a good swimmer!

n1576135204_2776Rainbow Diamond is another Facebook friend, she was rescued from a terrible place and has found a  foster home
with very dedicated parents where she is recovering from her traumas and working to raise awareness about terrible things like puppy mills.     It is the natural thing to love and care for animals, but some people are damaged and hurt themselves, and do not treat animals in a loving way.   I am thankful for caregivers like Rainbow’s who come in to set things right in the universe, her story is inspiring and she always brightens my day. You may learn more at Diamond Dachshund Rescue of Texas.

Photohunt Saturday: Technology

Where does the time go?  This weeks Photohunt Theme is Technology and luckily I just snapped this “Technology”  photo.

computer_heroes_s1Richard Stallman, Linus Torvalds,  Eric S.Raymond, and Bruce Perens are all well known  in the world of computer technology.

I was introduced to them in a film called Revolution OS

Each one of these brilliantly unique men are committed to improving the freedoms of all people, you don’t have to be a “computer geek” to enjoy learning about these heroes.    Martin Owens is my Boston based guru  and leader  of  The Ubuntu Massachusetts Local Community Team, a group of volunteers and activists organized around the Ubuntu operating system,  advocating digital rights and freedom and promoting Ubuntu as a step towards achieving this.

front_splash_silhouetteFree Computer classes are held weekly in the south end of Boston,  highly recommended by the Cat Lady!

Hey, this blog would never have come to life with out the help of the dedicated and patient teachers there like Martin, Mike, Sara, Rio, and Johnathan.

Enjoy the photohunt everyone
