Today I peeked up to wake Lynn to remind her about the important things she had to do online today.
You see, no matter what celebrity or fame I now have, and no matter how many photos, emails, or appearance I make on behalf of the store and our causes…I am still classified as an animal governed under the Agriculture & Markets in the state of NY. Classified as such an “animal”, I unfortunately have few to zero rights and laws to protect me… even with Lynn by my side to help me.
In her spring post {click and read} you read about her trip for all us “animals” (so undignified a term ugh. You are beings, and so are we!) to the state legislature to lobby for more humane laws in NY and to fight against the influx of puppy mills hoping to now camp here from PA.
Wildlife is in peril across the world, from our wolves to our wild horses to our elephants and whales. Lynn and I do what we can by donating a percent of all our sales to them and.. with our Flowers For A Cause you know you can send flowers and support your favorites.
Well my friends, you may think your paws are tied but the way to start is right in your home state wherever you are. These bills are up for vote in NY right now and if you have any love for your own family beings, then this is the time to show it. Visit right now the Humane Society links I put below to see the rights we don’t have, and how you can make a difference. Don’t be scared-you don’t need money, just your name or paw saying you love us and want us protected…and you won’t get on a blacklist either.
We need your help and protection now….Please use your right to speak because we have no rights and… we cannot .

Any comments for me-leave them below; and thanks ever so much for being my friend,
