For all you animal lovers out there, here’s a way to spoil your pup (or a friend’s) and help save shelter dogs at the same time!

Use special promo code CDRBBX1 to get $10 off any BarkBox subscription. For every coupon used, CDR will get a $10 donation from BarkBox!

What’s BarkBox? Think Birchbox for dogs - it’s a NY based company that send high quality dog products to your pup each month. Each box contains 4-6 items like bones, treats, toys, shampoos, and more.

I am a volunteer and foster mom for CDR so I can attest that it’s an awesome organization. We save dogs that are days or even just hours from being euthanized at over-crowded shelters. CDR is run entirely by volunteers and we rely on donations, so very $10 makes a big difference. Thanks for checking it out!

It’s a birchbox for your dog. AND you help other dogs in the process.

This is a special dog. He is a senior at ~8 years. His name is Turtle and it’s very fitting. He’s extremely mellow and very gentle. Adoptable at Alachua County Animal Services in Gainesville, FL.

18 FRAC DADDY

Jockey: Victor Lebron
Trainer: Kenny McPeek
Current Odds: 22-1
Pedigree:Scat Daddy - Skipper’s Mate by Skip Away

Frac Daddy has had some trouble in past races, receiving a nasty gash and developing throat ulcers. But the colt has proved he’s a fighter, placing to Overanalyze in the Arkansas Derby. Expected to play a pace role in the Derby and being comfortable on a sloppy track, Frac Daddy has a good chance to sneak in and steal the Roses from his adversaries.

Come on Frac Daddy!!!

Well, damn. You think your heroes will live to be 100 years old. Not for them, but for you. You want to know they’ll be around as a reminder that everything’s OK.

Everything’s not OK today.

George Jones, you’re the greatest country music singer the world has ever known.

Rest in peace, Possum. Hope you’re not a No Show to the Pearly Gates.

God speed, Mr. Jones.

Happy to report 7 pounds down and ……to go. Replaced grab-anything-and-eat lunches with salads; added many more green/yellow/red veggies at dinner; and replaced most drinking liquids (minus the alcohol-filled ones of course) with water.
