Rocky & Family on January 15th, 2016

Rocky boy kicks off this Friday

Good morning friends.

Rocky boy and I wanted to drop and say hello. What a glorious Friday this is. Friday always seems to show up right on time. Its great to be alive today on January 15th, 2016.

I get the feeling because today is the 15th of January, a lot of people will accidentally write “2015” on the checks they issue today.  Oh wait, people don’t write checks anymore, its all done online. Man am I silly boy to forget that.

OK, lets kick this Friday off on a positive note.

We need to be opened minded that Today could be a great day. When we are open minded our energy resets inviting new possibilities into our lives. Now if you woke up on the wrong side of the bed, shake it off and make an effort to be an open minded.  Let’s give today a chance. Nobody has the right to ruin your day unless its you yourself.

See tonight friends.  Day 370 here in Puerto Rico. And its day 58 since we rescued Rocky. Don’t mess with me and my numbers, its all I got, lol.   Peace and Love, Scott Smith for Sammy & Family.

The Planet and Animals

Animals and the Planet

Good evening friends.

Thank you for stopping by. Its nice to have so many animal lovers get together each night. Much of the world sees animals like a couch or a piece of furniture in their house. Its mind boggling. Sometimes I think I live amongst aliens.

Please allow me to quote one of the most brilliant people that ever lived on this planet. He had a joke with respect to people’s arrogance.  His name was George Carlin.  When people had the hubris to sit around and talk about how we have to handle the needs of the Planet better.  He used to say; “The Planet has been around for billions years and is going to be just fine. The plant has seen specie after specie become extinct. The Planet is Not going anywhere, We Are”, lol. Brilliant.

Its kind of like walking around a Crystal Meth clinic and asking the recovering addicts if they would like some free Crystal Meth tonight and thinking none of them will take it.  Next thing you know you’ve made the full rounds and you’re out of inventory with tons of Pre Orders.

Where am I going with this ? For all the people out there who were taught that animals are less than us, you’ve been taught wrong. The only thing it means that we are smarter than animals, is that we are smarter than animals. It means Absolutely Nothing else.

If the world is treating you cold and unkind, don’t take it out on animals. They actually have received the same treatment you have since the beginning of time. Animals actually understand your pain.

Dr. Harp Seal here. None of our Vanities are important enough to make an animal suffer for our glamour. If you don’t like the way you look, go see a shrink, or get a face-lift. Don’t have an animal tormented so you can wear a Fur coat and be talked about at a party.

The God that Sammy & Believes in does Not condone abusing animals for any reason whatsoever. Not for Vanity, Not for Entertainment, Not even to improve people’s lives.  Experiment with humans, leave the animals alone.  Enough is Enough.

No lives will go in Vain, no Pain will go unnoticed. Dr. Harp Seal and Scott Smith for Sammy & Family.

Samantha Bennet the Painter

Good afternoon friends.

We have a very special feature today on “The Good News Channel” — Say hello to Samantha Bennet. Shes a very talented and successful artist also know as; “PainerSam.  Samantha’s story is a story of heroism and resiliency. Through all her trials and tribulations, her art always bridged her back to life.

Before we start, I emailed Samantha last night telling her how moved I was by this story. As everyone knows we have featured all kinds of artists from all over the world. And we salute them all. But Samantha’s personal and artistic journey has been a story of triumph.

Samantha and Rescue

Samantha and a rescue.

Here’s a direct quote from her;  “My scars are my story and I am proud of them. I embrace the curious stares of strangers. Most of all, I hope they stare at my art and see that I am following my dreams.”      — Story Continues below;

Samantha’s Mona Lisa, created for her first solo exhibit titled “Scar Portraits and Beyond.”– Mixed media Oil Painting.

Samantha’s passion for art did come from conventional ways. At just nine Months old, Samantha survived bacterial meningitis. The disease resulted in some fingers, toes and half her right foot being amputated. As a result of such horror, she had many reconstructive surgeries during her early years. Spending much of that time recovering is where she was drawn to sketching people.

Powerball Winnings

Powerball Winnings

Good morning friends.

I wanted to share with our friends from around the world what we will be dong with the Powerball money that we win tonight.

When we win, I am going to give most of  it to animal welfare organizations around the world. The rescue operations that are really on the front lines. Over the years we have learned which organizations and groups specialize in which of the animal’s plight.

After that I am going to buy several hotels in Puerto Rico.  Then I am going to throw a Ginormous ELS party within all of our hotels. We will be paying for all of our friends plane tickets. Once the party is over, I will sell all the hotels for a major loss and go back to a simple life.

My dream will always be intact. I just want to walk around the beach handing out frozen candy to complete strangers on the beach, talking about light, dumb and breezy stuff. The dumber the better.

Thanks for listing.  Scott Smith for Sammy & Family.

David Bowie; Rest in Peace

Rest in Peace David Bowie

Good evening friends.

Tonight we pay tribute to David Bowie who passed away 3 days ago on January 10th, 2016. What a magnificent human being this man was. He was a larger than life Icon with a heart of gold.

David Bowie created the “Be Yourself” campaign decades before it was a mainstream mantra. He was a pioneer of music, theater, fashion and most of all, he was a major animal advocate.  Since the 1970’s he has been a substantial voice fighting against whaling going on all over the world and the dolphin hunts taking place in Japan.  Mr. Bowie loved all animals but was fascinated by dolphins.

We all have heard of the documentary movie”The Cove” that came out in 2009 about the shameless Dolphin Hunts in Taji Jpain. Mr. Bowie allowed the movie producers to use his 1977 song “Hero” for the soundtrack at just the publishers cost. Normally Bowie could receive hundreds of thousands of dollars to license his songs out. He always put compassion first.

David Bowie rocked this world for over 40 years from every which way and on Sunday. He was one of the most interesting, elegant and eccentric people in the world. Bowie paved the way for artists of all kind and made the world a better place.

As I am writing this tribute and thinking about him, there really was nobody like him. He walked, sang and danced to his own drum. Bowie lived off the beat and path and the world followed. He was a true free-bird. Obviously chronicles can be written of man that lived such a full life.  We hope we did him a little bit of justice tonight for all he contributed to this world.

Fly high Mr. Bowie. You were angel walking amongst us, and now you’re an angel looking over us. We send our condolences to his widow Iman and his entire family.  Rest in Peace David Bowie.

No lives will go in vain. No Pain will go unnoticed. Amen. Dr. Harp Seal for Sammy & Family.

Bite off more thank you can Chew

Bite off more thank you can Chew

Good morning friends.

Its great to be here with everyone. I have told Sammy 100 times not to bite off more than he can chew.

At the same time I can relate to having bigger eyes than my appetite should actually consume.

Sammy said he said it another way with respect to this bone. He said to me that this is more of a challenge to him. And if h defeats this challenge his mental strength will become more powerful which will enable him to breakthrough other barriers.

I can’t argue that logic. That made a lot of sense to me.

Happy Wednesday friends.

Poppy Rocky Tuesday on January 12th, 2016

Poppy and Rocky Tuesday

Good morning friends.

Happy Poppy Rocky Tuesday.  A day filled with Hope and Possibilities. Remember that if Poppy and Rocky can make it, anyone can.

Just because we can’t see it yet, doesn’t mean its not happening. That’s what faith is. Lets bring some science into this for more clarity.  When a plane flies through the clouds the Pilot can’t see a thing. And yet the planes flies through them just perfectly.

The world throws tons of smoke and mirrors at us, but we must hold the line like the Pilot does. The reason for that is because the shortest distance between two points is a straight line. No matter hurdles are in front of us, we have to hold onto that straight line.

OK, lets kick this day off with a very powerful quote;

This is what my father actually used to say me; “We don’t play defense. Our only defense is more offense”  — While I did Not agree with him on many topics, I do agree with him on that one.

See you tonight friends. Scott Smith for Sammy & Family.
