Poppy Rocky Lucky Tuesday on February 27th, 2018

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.

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.

Sunday with Patreeko

Poppy Sunday

Good morning friends.  We gave Patrick a little adventure yesterday.  This was his second time being on a plane. His first plane ride was to get to Puerto Rico and his second plane ride is right here at the mall.  This plane actually does Not fly in the air in case anyone is confused about that.

Nonetheless on fight “Destination Anywhere” Patrick had the time of his life.  Which reminds of that song “Time of my life ” in the movie Dirty Dancing starring Patrick Swayze who we named Patrick after.

It’s funny when you tell stories how eventually all things merge into one and a Patrick runs through.  Those words were just taken and twisted from the movie “A River Runs Through it”  — As you can see this is going to be a very A.D.D. kind of Sunday.

Remember friends,  Sunday is our favorite day of the week.  Its the one morning we let imagination in the door and back into our lives. On Sundays we get to be us again, the people we set out to be from the very beginning.

Poppy Rocky Lucky Tuesday on October 17th, 2017

Poppy Rocky Lucky Tuesday

Good morning friends.

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

For all of our new friends – Poppy, Rocky and Lucky are three of our seven dogs. Nobody had the decks stacked against them more than they did. It goes to show you that love, faith and hope can beat all the odds.

Anytime you’re feeling a little down and defeated, let the story of Poppy, Rocky and Lucky help propel you forward.

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

1. Did I wake up today simply because oxygen is running through my body, or did I wake up to live?

2. What will I do differently today from yesterday, so tomorrow I’ll feel good about it ?

Day 1011 in Puerto Rico, yes, day 1011. Today is day 699 since we rescued Rocky, and day 161 since we rescued Lucky.

Scott Smith for Sammy & Family. Have a great day friends.
