I'm a big weepy mess right now. I just learned via the Herald that a mini dog puppy mill in Tenn was busted and hundreds of pups and dogs rescued and given their own wing at the Broward County Humane Society. Thanks to the publicity, hundreds lined up to adopt these poor babies, many of whom had never walked on the ground before, relegated to life in a mesh cage, turning out litter after litter... A quote from the Herald story:
" Somehow the breeds of the rescued dogs made the negligence discovered on a rural farm in Lyles, Tenn., seem all the more unfathomable. Most were little guys. Yorkies, Boston terriers, miniature pinschers, poodles, Chihuahuas, Maltese, Shih Tzus, Pomeranians, Shar-Peis, Jack Russell terriers. The very dogs we're used to seeing coddled, anthropomorphized and spoiled like children."
As an owner of a Yorkie hybrid and a Min Pin, I am especially emo right now. Down with puppy mills! It reminds me that I never posted the link to the article I wrote about SPCA Miami's Charity Party at the Versace Mansion for MiamiBeach411.com. Here it is; Versace Article

Where It's At This Weekend - The Versace Mansion
Richy and I will be joining Neill Hernandez, VP of Cigarette Racing Team, and his lovely wife Amy at a party Saturday night at the Versace Mansion. We have to wear something orange, and our friends Phil Lipshultz and Marisa Narsiah will be meeting us there. I don't know why everyone must wear orange,( note from next day : The event is called Celebrities go Orange for Animals and it's for the SPCA of Miami.) but thank god I look okay in that color! I am very excited as I have never been there and with my trusty little olympus stylus camera and voice recorder inside my Louis, I'll be able to bring it all back to you. Now if I only had a button video camera....There are sure to be celebrities there. Stay tuned! Although I am not promising a blog Sunday morning, that's for sure, and no one wants me to write it when I get home. Friends don't let friends blog drunk.
