Happy PRL on February 27th, 2018

Good evening friends.

Happy Poppy Rocky Lucky Tuesday. A day and night field with hope and possibilities. Remember, if Poppy, Rocky and Lucky can make it, anyone can.

For all of our new friends, Poppy, Rocky and Lucky are 3 of our 7 dogs. The three of them had a very tough start in life. The odds of us all ending up together were zero. But somehow, today, we’re a Wolfpack of 8 including me. Owhoooo.

OK friends, let’s kick this night with two positive notions.

1. Anytime I’m just thinking about myself, I feel agitated. Whenever I’m thinking of others, I feel purposeful. Funny how that works.

2. The reason I put animals before people, is because people can take care of both, animals cannot.

Day 1136 here in Puerto Rico, yes, 1136. Today is day 822 since we rescued Rocky, and day 286 since we rescued Lucky.

Have a great night friends.

Because sometimes you meet an angel and don’t remember your life before them.

Because sometimes you meet an angel and don’t remember your life before them

Because sometimes you meet an angel and don’t remember your life before them.

Say hello to my best friend of 43 years, Lloyd Lapidus from Florida, and his new rescue from Puerto Rico, Rocko. He’s a 4 month old Lab Mix and weighs 25 pounds. Tri-Country Humane in Florida organized the rescue.

A massive Congratulations to Rocko and the whole Lapidus family.

The odds of Rocko making it out of PR and into one of the greatest animal loving families around, were almost zero.

But as we’ve talked about before, sometimes all of the stars are aligned, and life hands you a gift that changes you forever.

Lloyd sent me many pictures that I’ll share with everyone over the next few weeks or so.

We want to thank Lloyd & Family for making the world a better place one animal at a time. Every time we rescue an animal, we create a miracle.

“I thought I rescued you. But, I think you rescued me”

Have a great night friends.

Look around once in a while

Day 1115 here in Puerto Rico, yes, 1115. Today is day 801, since we rescued Rocky, and day 265 since we rescued Lucky.

Have great day friends.

Poppy Rocky Lucky Tuesday on January 23rd, 2018

Good morning friends.

Happy Poppy Rocky Lucky Tuesday. A day filled with Hope and Possibilities. Remember, if Poppy, Rocky and Lucky can make it anyone can.

For all our new friends, Poppy, Rocky and Lucky are 3 of our 7 dogs who had a very tough start in life. But, now they’re part of a happy Wolfpack of 7. Anytime you’re feeling a little down and defeated, think of their story to help propel you forward.

Take Poppy here in the picture as an example. In the summer of the 2013 he kept getting marked down in price at the store. Finally, I walked in there and just took him home. Now, several years later, he does the greatest rendition of 1980’s band, Devo. How great is that?

OK. Let’s kick this day off with two positive notions:

1. Anything can happen on any given day. Don’t get in your own way. Let’s good things happen to you.

2. Everyday is a great day to rescue an animal. Every time an animal is rescued a miracle  is created. If you don’t believe me, just ask the animal that was rescued and the person that rescued him or her.

Day 1101 here in Puerto Rico. Yes, 1101. Today is day 787 since we rescued Rocky, and day 251 since we rescued Lucky.

Have a great day friends.

Poppy Rocky Lucky Tuesday on January 9th, 2018

Good morning friends.

Happy Poppy Rocky Lucky Tuesday. A day filled with Hope and Possibilities. Remember, if Poppy Rocky Lucky can make it, anyone can.

For all of our new friends, Poppy, Rocky and Lucky are 3 of my 7 dogs. Nobody had the decks stacked against them more than they did.

Anytime you’re feeling a little down and defeated, think of their story to propel you forward.

OK, let’s kick this day off with two positive notions.

1. Today has a good shot of being a great day. I’m going to let that happen and not get in the way.

2. In math, two negatives can make a positive. In life, 2 negatives make more negatives. Let’s keep it positive.

Day 1094 here in Puerto Rico. Yes, day 1094. Today is day 782 since we rescued Rocky, and day 244 since we rescued Lucky.

Have a great day friends. Scott Smith from the beautiful island of Puerto Rico.

New Years – 2018

New Years - 2018

Good evening friends.

I felt very blessed today hanging with my best friend, Lucky at the tip of the Atlantic Ocean. And as such, I wanted to share that moment with my friends from around the world. I love that dog like a “Crazy Potato” if that makes any sense, lol.

My takeaway from 2017 is that I’m grateful to be alive. This could’ve easily played out differently. Thank God that it didn’t.

I’m going into 2018 asking myself two questions:

1. What are my intentions?
2. And, what actions am I taking to support those intentions?

2018 is the year of action. There is so much hope and possibility in the air, I could barely see straight. I’ll be taking a huge bite out of life this year. Come join me please.

Happy New Year friends.

Good evening friends.

Happy Poppy Rocky Lucky Tuesday, a day and night filled with hope and possibilities. Remember, If Poppy, Rocky and Lucy can make it, anyone can. Nobody had the decks stacked more against them than they did.

For all of our new friends, Poppy, Lucky and Rocky are 3 of our 7 dogs.

Anytime you’re feeling a little down and defeated, let their story help propel you forward. The odds of them being part of a loving family and home, and a wolfpack of seven no less, were zero. But it happened anyway. The combinations of hope, faith and love can trounce any odds.

OK, let’s ease into the evening with two positive notions;

1. Today was a gift. Good, bad or indifferent, today was a gift. We know that because many people that were here yesterday, are no longer with us today. We owe it to them and ourselves to march forward and be grateful.

2. We don’t have to lose everything to realize what we had. Let’s think it through. Let’s think it through. More often than not, good enough, is good enough.

Day 1073 here in Puerto Rico. Yes, day 1073. Today is day 761 since we rescued Rocky, and day 223 since we rescued Lucky.

Good evening friends.

Happy Poppy Rocky Lucky Tuesday. A day and night filled with hope and possibilities. Remember, if Poppy, Rocky and Lucky can make it, anyone can. Nobody had the decks stacked more against them than they did.

Anytime you’re feeling a little down and defeated, let the story of Poppy, Rocky and Lucky propel you forward. Like they, maybe the best is right in front of you. Maybe starting right now.

Can you accept that things are about to get better ? — Because if you can, the sails will set themselves in the direction of your advantage.

OK, let bring this evening to a close with two positive notions;

1. I was a free man the day I stopped worrying about what people thought of me and started concentrating on what I needed to do. It’s nice to be well liked, but it’s not a prerequisite to like myself.

2. We do the best we can with what we have. Taking anything personally is counterproductive.

Day 1066 here in Puerto Rico. Yes, day 1066. Today is day 754 since we rescued Rocky, and day 216 since we rescued Lucky.
