Dogcents helping a Needy Cause

Friends: this is a review written at the Insanewriters blog that I wanted to make sure everyone who visits here reads.
If you haven't been by Lily Ruth's Dogcents Blog, you should.

Now at first glance the page looks a little disorganized, but don't let that fool you. In the heart of this blog Lily Ruth shares with us her love for dogs and her great cause. A good example of her reason for DogCents is her post titled, "Why DO I Bother?" In it she talks about why she posts dog news, photos and jokes.

There are many really good articles that she shares with us about dogs. Some are disturbing as far as owners who abuse dogs and some are heartbreaking like the article about Ellie Lawrenson and her grandmother's responsibility in her death.

Dogcents isn't just about the articles, jokes and photos, however. As I said, there is a purpose... a cause behind this unique blog. If you donate $2.00 to help feed, shelter and care for medicinal needs for dogs Dogcents will review your blog and offer to post a permanent link to your site.

If you are as passionate about dogs as Lily Ruth is, then you'll definitely want to drop by Dogcents. It just makes Dog Gone Good Sense.

Animals ran away on the Fourth of July

RALEIGH, N.C. - Animal welfare officials are looking for pets that ran away this week after they were spooked by Independence Day fireworks displays.
Since Wednesday, there have been 13 runaways reported in Wake County and more were expected, Mondy Lamb of the Wake County chapter of the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals said Thursday.
Animals generally escape because they aren't properly confined.
"Animals don't know where big booms are coming from," said Lamb. "They just hear loud noises and need to run away from it."
Reports of animals that ran because of fireworks also have come from Durham and Johnston counties. Last year, Johnston had a couple of hundred reports after July 4 and so far this year there have been about two dozens calls, said animal services Director Ernie Wilkinson.
Officials at the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Animal Shelter said 12 dogs were brought in as of Thursday and three were reclaimed by owners who said they ran during fireworks, said Melissa Knicely-Berry.
