Barkticles - Be Good to Bees!

Hi! Sweetlips K. Beagle here again with something that I think most everyone, even cats, can get on board with -- helping bees!

As many of you already know, bees are finding it more and more difficult to survive in our harsh chemical laden world. Pesticides, herbicides, and many other factors are causing harm to the environment. Bees, like the sensitive canaries used to detect harmful gases in mines, are showing the effects of our reliance on mass produced chemical additives and treatments used on our home lawns and gardens, golf courses, and businesses.

Is the competition to have the greenest, most bug free lawn on the block really worth losing something as precious as our bees and other helpful insects? Where would we be without bees? Bees provide both food and medicine. They pollinate crops and help to keep our world a beautiful and healthy place to live. The least we can do is help them to thrive once again.

Just click the link below and it will take you to a site where you can help our friends the bees, and it's free!

Barkticles - Hollydogs

As a Dog I am very passionate about the well-being of my fellow Dogs, especially those who are in the most danger of being "put down" as it is called. You can imagine that, as a Dog, a Beagle to be exact, I consider it something more than a "put down," but I'll restrain myself and keep this civil.

Greyhounds as many of you already know are often used for racing. I don't necessarily have anything against racing, it's the killing and over breeding that bother me. Greyhounds are among some of the finest athletes in the Doggie World, but those who aren't considered fast enough are simply done away with.

Fortunately, at least for some, there are people, like the fine folks at Hollydogs in Hollywood, Florida who step in and try to help those dogs who are in need of good homes or sponsorship due to special needs.

It is my sincere hope that if you can spare it that you will help Hollydogs with monetary contributions or even an adoption.

And don't forget! March 30th is the Hollydogs Greyhound Picnic from 11 a.m. - 2 p.m. All Dogs are invited, and their accompanying humans, of course!
