It's official, I'm a ROAR Squad member!

Normally I'm not a 'joiner' (although there was that time down in Mt. Airy, North Carolina when I was at Mayberry Days and became part of a fan club. Baby Girl got confused and told her teachers that I joined a cult! I kid you not!), but I so wanted to jump on the ROAR Squad band wagon, and I did!

Shauna over at Fido and Wino has taken on a huge task.

She's the creator of the Roar Squad, and her dream is to put puppy mills out of business and make adopting pets from shelters a cool thing to do!!!

If you want to feel all kinds of warm fuzzies, you really should go check her out. And if you know anyone who's looking for a pet of any kind, send them to her blog so they can see for themselves how adopting a 'cast away' could possibly be one of the most rewarding decisions they ever make!

And even if you aren't in the market for a pet, you should read her blog anyway as she's very witty and fun.

We went to my mom's today for Mother's Day and gave her the (used to be full) hanging flower basket that Wilbur the Future Florist ever so kindly pruned. We had a very nice afternoon and even managed to stay for dinner.



Now here's something I never expected to see. Chlorox and Wilbur, not only in the same room together, but on the futon together!! It's kind of like seeing the lion lie down with the lamb.

Or even more unlikely, how about Mahmoud Ahmadinejad (or Mr. Imadinnerjacket, to us) and Isaac Mizrahi sitting down to discuss fashion together!

Now wouldn't that be something!!!!!!!

Hey, congratulations times two...once for jumping on the ROAR band wagon, and once for getting Wilbur and Chlorox in a picture at the same time - with no injuries to yourself! ;O)

XOXO,

Cyndi

Cyndi, believe it or not, Chlorox was not medicated! But there has been a lot of loud meowing going on!

A cult... that is hilarous :)

Thank you so very much for taking part in the ROAR Squad! You guys are a really wonderful addition and I am SO PUMPED that you wanted to take part!

I hope to hear more about how your sailing goes!

We saw you on the ROAR squad. I do love how Wilbur is staring at Clorax in the last photo.

Shauna, sailing is always an adventure; but tossing a pit bull and a cat into the mix...?

Two Pitties, I love his buggy eyed look! He's very leery of Chlorox and keeps a pretty respectful distance!
