Our Song

I'm a music lover. I tend to associate a certain song with a certain somebody/memory.

And I do that with my relationships too, haha.

With the Pillow, we've been selecting our song for every New Years. So for 2013, of course we chose a song that meant something to us.

But, let's recap the songs that we've chosen in the past years of our relationship

2009 - Collide by Howie Day

2010 - I Gotta Feeling by Black Eyed Peas

2011 - Fix You by Coldplay

2012 - Yellow by Coldplay



Now for 2013... I'll Be There For You by Bon Jovi

I can see this as a CD compilation for us in the near future hahaha...

So any of you have favorite/special song(s) for you and your significant other? I wanna know?

OR if you're single, what is your Anthem?

Friday's Letters


Dear Jack & Jill, (you can read about them here, here and here)... I've only had you both for less than 24 hours, and you both stole my heart, just like that. The way you both jump up and down when I come to feed or play with you, the way Jill hides her treats all over the garage, the way Jack rolls immediately to ask me to rub his belly... You really stole my heart. It was so hard for me to hold my tears when I saw the guy take y'all back in to the room for the exam at the shelter, knowing that I will never get to see you again. When I saw both of your pictures on the RCPets.info website up for adoption today, I was happy. I am happy that you are safe in a better place than the streets where I find you, but I'm also sad because I couldn't keep you. If my circumstances were better, I will definitely take you in without a doubt. I really hope you both find a forever home, hopefully together, just like how I found you. You both will forever be in my heart.

Dear Eldad from Hope for Paws, if it wasn't for your videos, I wouldn't do what I did. Your videos inspired me so much and your cheeseburger method kinda help me get these dogs to my safety. Now I'm gonna keep a leash, blanket and some doggy treats in my car just in case I bump in to another lost dog.

Dear 2013, what a way to start my year, huh? In my 12 Things, I said I want to volunteer at the Animal Shelter... but you gave me to opportunity to save 2 dogs from the streets. God works in mysterious ways. I'm glad He chose me to save Jack & Jill.

Dear People who think about getting pets, please if you do, consider it wisely. Pets have feelings too. I'm a huge Dog lover. If you are considering getting a dog, please think about adopting. There are TONS of dogs out in the shelters that need home. Yes, I admit, I got Chimmy from a breeder. I was being a brat and wanted a Pomeranian. It was the first dog in the family (no one had any ideas on how to obtain one aka clueless about animal shelters). I do not regret having Chimmy, but if I only knew back then, I would've browsed around shelters. I told Pillow that in the future, we're going to adopt 2 shelter dogs. People, don't get a dog just because you feel like it or because it was a spur of the moment. If you think in the long run you can't take care of one, then don't even bother having one. It really bothers me to see dogs that are lost or even to see dogs that are chained down in the yard with no room to play or run... I wonder if the owner even provides fresh water and clean food. Ok, I should stop. But seriously, THINK WISELY BEFORE YOU OWN A DOG.

Dear Pillow. Thank you for being there for me. I still hate that we only get to see each other only on the weekends, and we only talk like for five minutes on the phone everyday.

Dear Faithful Readers, thank for being there to read my blog. I may lose some readers for no reason (I'm thinking it's from a giveaway thing, whatever), but I know there are some out there who stay readers because they like to read. Thank you.

Dear New Readers, welcome. This is a New Year, why not read another New Blogger :)

as always, linking up with Ashley of The Sweet Season.

xoxo,

Safe and Sound



When I saved Jack & Jill (that's what my brother and I named the duo) last night, this song immediately popped up when I had them in my arms.

I'm still crying. I'm not lying.

But now I know they are safe and sound in the Shelter. I'm praying really hard that they are okay and will be ADOPTED TOGETHER soon.

This is the link for Jill and for Jack.

Please spread the word. These two lovable dogs are just precious. Even my brother was sad.

I'll always remember them jumping up and down whenever they see me.

I don't know why God let this happened to me. I know it's for the dogs good, but I'm just still so sad and having the blues remembering them. I know He is giving me a sign.

A good man takes care of his animals, but wicked men are cruel to theirs. Proverbs 12:10. 



Jack and Jill went up the hill to fetch a pail of water. Rima came with her mobil to save them from such danger.

If anyone can provide a forever home for them, you will be a hero in my heart and theirs. They are currently in Rancho Cucamonga Animal Shelter.

Who said Saying Goodbye is Easy?

Sadly, after a long debate, I dropped off the two dogs I found last night at the Rancho Cucamonga Animal Shelter. They were not chipped.

We wanted to keep them for a couple of days to find a home for them, but sadly I was allergic to them.

I really did not want to take them to the shelter, but I have no choice. I don't the time to find around for homes.

Thanks for all of my friends for spreading the word.

I cried after seeing them being taken away for the exam. But I know they are in a better place than the streets where I found them last night.

I really do hope they find a good forever home.

Who said saying goodbye is easy?

Jack & Jill (that's why Otin & I named them), even though you came into my life for 1 night, you made a big impact to me. You both are forever in my sappy little heart.

Please, if you have pets, take care of them. Do not ignore them. They need your love and attention.

Today, my heart breaks but smiles at the same time.
