Canine Vision Canada - Still Looking For Donations

Canine Vision Canada

For those with a visual impairment, the help of a Canine Vision Dog Guide to navigate streets, buildings and transit means he or she can travel more widely and independently with greater confidence.

Lori of Newfoundland and her Dog Guide Stewart, a Labrador Retriever, graduated as a team. Before Stewart, Lori depended on a long cane to navigate her world. She says she was afraid to go places – even the mall was too hard to go to on her own. Since Stewart came on the scene, Lori has been travelling independently to her job, takes transit regularly, and goes to the mall.

“I never believed I would have this much mobility,” says Lori. “Now I feel so much more adventurous and independent. I can’t wait to travel and explore new places.”

*Yawn*

Why am I sitting here at my computer?

I'm not really doing anything... just sitting here... I mean I have my music on so it's like... ok I must be sitting here listening to music... but I'm so tired... then I look at the clock and think... sheesh it's only 11:30pm... as if that's early or something...

What am I waiting for... if nothings going on and I'm tired... why don't I go to bed?

well... ya know what... I'm going to bed... not going to sit here waiting for something that I don't even know is coming... that way I can actually go to bed.. and get some rest...

I'm so strange... what the hell was I waiting on? my computer to suddenly start entertaining me? ... ha ha ha yeah right...

**on a side note**
I will be reposting that last entry I made quite often... because I want you to get so sick of hearing about the Dog Guides that you donate just to get me to shut up about it ;) :-*
Every little bit helps...

and before I start in on a tangent about why it's a good cause I'm going to bid you adeiu to all y'all

*yawns again*

Help Me Help Them...

Every year since I was a little kid whether we had a dog or not we would walk in this walk a dog-a-thon thing... well now that I'm bigger I know much more about this 'thing'

The walk is called the Lions Foundation of Canada Purina Walk For Dog Guides...

I will be participating in the Lions Foundation of Canada Purina Walk for Dog Guides on Jun 3, 2007 to help raise funds for the training and placement of Dog Guides for Canadians with visual, hearing and medical or physical disabilities. Please give generously to this wonderful cause.

All Dog Guides are provided to eligible candidates at no cost. Funding for Dog Guide training is 100 per cent obtained from donations and no government funding is received. Dog Guides Canada has already provided their specially trained Dog Guides to more than 1200 men, women and children from ages eight to 88. With your help more people experience the mobility, safety and independence a devoted Dog Guide partner brings.

The dogs help people withing Hearing Problems, Seeing Problems and those with other disabilities who might require a Special Skills Dog.

I've seen these dogs in training and in action and they are absolutely awesome, brings a tear to your eye.
However that training becomes costly... it costs approximately $20, 000 for the care and training for one of these fabulous dogs...

I know that the walk is not until June 3rd but it's never too early to start collecting money for a great cause. My goal is $1000 this year and I hope that you guys could help me reach that goal.

This little guy down there will take you to my site at the Lions Foundation of Canada Purina Walk For Dog Guides pledge site where you can easily donate.

I offer my appreciation to you for helping us all out.

Best Breast Cancer Ad I've Ever Seen!

Tell me what you think of this totally awesome commercial

Be A Patron Of The Arts!

Miss Tickle has to raise £4,200 in the next two weeks and so she has thought of something really clever in which to raise this money. Buy a word.

Yes, that's all, buy a word. Any word you want for the mighty sum of £1. Miss Tickle explains why ever so well on her blog so it's worth having a look.

I own two words which I shall fight tooth and nail should anyone try and take them away from me.

Why don't you buy a word ? Or a sentence even ? Just think, for just a mere pound you can have a word that is your very own.

And put it in your pocket when you go to work.

I have to admit I have bought a word, I bought the word 'Flatter' don't ask me why, I just did, it jumped out at me... click on Miss Tickle... to read the explanation... if you even need one , haven't you always wanted to owe your own word?

Just like several other times I'm now sitting here looking at this little window where you're supposed to type in all your world shattering thoughts and feelings, isn't it?

Isn't that's what's expected of us, funny quips about live... deep insightful thoughts... earth shattering opinions...

Isn't that what we try to provide so that we'll get more readers...

Why is it again that we open up our doors... the little door to our little corner of the web... so that people can get that little tiny view into our lives...

Where has all the privacy gone?

We know more about our virtual/cyber neighbours then we do of our neighbours who live next door...

It wasn't until there was an ambulance down the street from my apartment (live in a small town so stuff like that doesn't happen all the time) That's when I learned that the fire chiefs mom lived down the street from me.... and my next door neighbours husband passed away a few years ago and she lives in that huge house next door all by herself...
I've lived here for three years... ick.... I've lived in this shoe box for three years now??

The neighbour across the road... seen her out gardening... I know she likes gardening... don't know who she is, or anything about her....

But my blogging neighbours... some of them I can tell you their kids names, that their mom's have passed away, that they've just got married, that they're on medication for this that or the other thing...

I'm starting to think I don't get out much...

I work too much, I rp just about as much, and chat almost all the time.... wow my mom must be so proud...

One cannot make all the clever people good - neither is it possible to make all the good people clever. - Who said that?

You said you were a huge suck when you're sick :P I just agreed ;)

One day I'll wake up and you will no longer be important to me - she says to her computer.

I'm trying to forget that I'm addicted to you, but I want it and I need it - I'm addicted to you - she sings to her computer while laughing.

I should be working right now...
but instead I'm rambling in a blog post that only about 5 will read... see and for some reason that kinda bugs me... why should I care how many people read my ramblings... that don't really make any sense... why have I gotten accustomed to seeing almost no comments on my blog posts... grown accustomed to the resounding 0 that stands there taunting me...

enh it's probably that I don't post enough... but truthfully I don't want to post drivel that doesn't make sense or mean anything to anyone...

*shakes head* and some have wondered why I haven't posted anything in a while... seems my most interesting ones according to the stats were the HNT posts... well duh of course they were...

So here's my late HNT post...


Kinda creepy isn't it?

I love it... and yeah that's really me... all dark and menacing looking... yep that's me being creepy...
Happy Late Half Nekkid Thursday this blustery cold Friday.
