Don't forget to cast your votes for this months contest before the deadline of tomorrow night. Thank you all so much for participating and we wish you all the best of luck.
We have received quite a few entries for Octobers contest and we will begin posting them on Oct 1st so they get all the attention possible. Thank you so very much for understanding.
Please join us in remembering a great icon of the entertainment community. The Pillsbury Doughboy died yesterday of a yeast infection and trauma complications from repeated pokes in the belly. He was 71.
Doughboy was buried in a lightly greased coffin.
Dozens of celebrities turned out to pay their respects, including Mrs.Butterworth, Hungry Jack, the California Raisins, Betty Crocker, the Hostess Twinkies, and Captain Crunch. The grave site was piled high with flours.
Aunt Jemima delivered the eulogy and lovingly described Doughboy as a man who never knew how much he was kneaded. Doughboy rose quickly in show business, but his later life was filled with turnovers. He was not considered a very smart cookie, wasting much of his dough on half-baked schemes. Despite being a little flaky at times, he still was a crusty old man and was considered a positive roll model for millions.
Doughboy is survived by his wife Play Dough, three children: John Dough,Jane Dough and Dosey Dough, plus they had one in the oven. He is also survived by his elderly father, Pop Tart. The funeral was held at 3:50pm yesterday and lasted for about 20 minutes.
These are just a few of the many rescued animals at the Acadiana Humane Society which is located in Sunset, Louisiana. Our friend Sue Rabeaux and her shelter is one of the contestants in the $100,000 Petfinder shelter challenge, where they can win up to $25,000 for their shelter. It''s free and easy to vote and I am attaching the e-mail she sent to us earlier today below. They rescue all kinds of pets including, cats, dogs, guinea pigs, rats, goats, rabbits, birds & even lizards.
They also have a weekly adoption stand at some their local big chain pet stores. They are very passionate animal lovers and can really use our help by voting for them in the contest. They have been trying to finish building a hurricane safe shelter for some time but have run into funding issues. Please help by just following the instructions below and voting for them. Thank you all so much and God Bless.

Here is a small collection of zoo signs you have probably never seen before.
I don't know about you but if a mountain Lion attacks me the last thing i 'm gonna be thinking about is fighting him. For me personally, I think I would scream like a little girl and run like the wind.
The Hippo warning cracks me up the most. Which is your favorite?

Dear God, please send me somebody who'll care!
I'm tired of running, I'm sick with despair.
My body is aching, it's so racked with pain,
and dear God I pray, as I run in the rain.
That someone will love me and give me a home,
a warm cozy bed and a big juicy bone.
My last owner tied me all day in the yard
Sometimes with no water, and god that was hard.
So I chewed my leash, and God I ran away.
To rummage in garbage and live as a stray.
But now God, I'm tired and hungry and cold,
and I'm so afraid that I'll never grow old.
They've chased me with sticks and hit me with stones,
while I run the streets just looking for bones! I'm not really bad, God, please help if you can, or I have become just a "Victim of Man!" I'm wormy dear God and I'm ridden with fleas, and all that I want is an Owner to please!
If you find one for me God, I'll try to be good,
and I won't chew their shoes, and I'll do as I should. I'll love them, protect them and try to obey....
when they tell me to sit, to lie down or to stay! I don't think I'll make it too long on my own,
cause I'm getting so weak and I'm so all alone.
Each night as I sleep in the bushes I cry,
cause I'm so afraid God, that I'm gonna die.
And I've got so much love and devotion to give,
that I should be given a new chance to Live!
So dear God, please answer my prayer,
and send me someone who will REALLY care..
That is, dear God, if YOU'RE REALLY there
Thank you so very much for sending us this beautiful poem Amber. It had us deeply sobbing just thinking about all the strays in the world, that are in desperate need of a home. May God Bless all the strays in the world and find each one a loving home.
Meet Bunny Pig! Remember the video we posted 2 weeks ago, of our little Seven (Guinea Pig) and Killer (baby Bunny) doing something naughty? Well this photo is the outcome of what we are expecting. Isn't she the cutest lil thing?
In case you missed the video you can view it by clicking HERE. NSFW
Since all we posted was kitties we figured if we were not gonna post a bunch of dogs then we might as well post the toughest one we could find. He would of looked a lot tougher without the stuffed animal in the background. Hehe!
Please don't forget to vote for this months contestants in the top rated Septembers pets post that we posted yesterday. We have gotten quite a few e-mails, which we appreciate but it would be easier to count all the votes in one place. Thank you all so much and God Bless.
