Life and Love

 -- Quote of the Day -- 

“…When I think of ‘love’ I think of the life force for good. Its not just compassion it is also strength, it is not just acceptance and tolerance it is also accountability and responsibility; it is patient, but it is also perseverance and diligent and it is honest. …Whenever we find our sense of worth by something tangible or another human being, we’re on shaky ground because that can be taken away from us. Only what is inside can never be taken away. When we are aligned with love, then we have that no matter the loss.  …Love is always guided by knowledge, and knowledge breeds understanding. …When we choose to align with love we are naturally in harmony with ourselves, but also with others and with nature.”

~ Jan Denise

The Puppy Mill Project:

Focusing on educating the public at community events and schools handing out literature, spreading the message about puppy mill cruelty and provides age-based interactive lectures and presentations. Ninety Nine percent (99%) of all pet store puppies are puppy mill puppies. Most people are unaware of this. TPMP is changing that fact. By lessening the demand for these dogs, we will in effect lower the puppy mills’ profits. TPMP has several programs that are designed to encourage consumers to explore adoption and to shop at pet stores who have moved to the “humane model.”
