Shop Like You Give a Damn: Will You Be My Furry Valentine?

I met the love of my life on the eve of Valentine’s Day nearly a decade ago…. pretty romantic, right?

I am thankful each and every day that I get to spend with (arguably) the most devoted, honest, and loving fella on this planet.

Chico was adopted when he was three years old from the St. Louis Humane Association and my life has never been the same since. From never leaving my side when I was struggling with my own personal and physical battles to all the joy and laughter that he has brought into my life, Chico is the man.

I must also give him credit for being my muse in opting to lead a compassionate lifestyle of veganism, being a voice for animal welfare and rights, and for just opening my heart that love does really exist.

As he ages and his congestive heart failure advances, I am sad but I understand more than ever how important it is to take care of our furry friends.

Senior dogs are pretty damn fabulous, thank you very much!

My buddy and talented jewelry designer Judith Bright has a Valentines Day Gift that will melt any heart.

When you adopt any senior pet (5 years or older) from Nashville Humane Association and bring the adoption papers to her fabulous retail store located at The Mall at Green Hills, JB will gift you with a beautiful MiniRocks 1Stone Necklace in your choice of gemstone in gold or silver.

Talk about instant karma!

Top 5 Reasons To Adopt A Senior Pet:

1. What you see is what you get!
2. Older pets tend to be calmer and make instant companions.
3. Senior pets usually come trained and understand basic commands.
4. Adopted senior pets are grateful for your kindness – somehow they just know!
5. You get to be a hero to a deserving dog or cat.

So forget the truffles and roses which only offer momentary happiness and consider opening your home to a lifetime of joy.

XOXO

   Thanks Marcia! We just had a guy in who adopted a 6 year old black lab named Lilly. I asked him who picked who and he said, “She picked me & that was that!” So great. He got an amethyst necklace and we were so happy to give it to him! xx, jb

   YAY!!
   This makes me so very happy to hear… especially black dogs have a harder time get adopted too. Lilly sounds like she has a fabulous forever home just in time for V-Day. Thanks for all that YOU do for the animals Judith! They sure are lucky to have you around.
