Good evening friends.
Happy Poppy Rocky Lucky Tuesday. A day and night field with hope and possibilities. Remember, if Poppy, Rocky and Lucky can make it, anyone can.
For all of our new friends, Poppy, Rocky and Lucky are 3 of our 7 dogs. The three of them had a very tough start in life. The odds of us all ending up together were zero. But somehow, today, we’re a Wolfpack of 8 including me. Owhoooo.
OK friends, let’s kick this night with two positive notions.
1. Anytime I’m just thinking about myself, I feel agitated. Whenever I’m thinking of others, I feel purposeful. Funny how that works.
2. The reason I put animals before people, is because people can take care of both, animals cannot.
Day 1136 here in Puerto Rico, yes, 1136. Today is day 822 since we rescued Rocky, and day 286 since we rescued Lucky.
Have a great night friends.
Because sometimes you meet an angel and don’t remember your life before them.
Say hello to my best friend of 43 years, Lloyd Lapidus from Florida, and his new rescue from Puerto Rico, Rocko. He’s a 4 month old Lab Mix and weighs 25 pounds. Tri-Country Humane in Florida organized the rescue.
A massive Congratulations to Rocko and the whole Lapidus family.
The odds of Rocko making it out of PR and into one of the greatest animal loving families around, were almost zero.
But as we’ve talked about before, sometimes all of the stars are aligned, and life hands you a gift that changes you forever.
Lloyd sent me many pictures that I’ll share with everyone over the next few weeks or so.
We want to thank Lloyd & Family for making the world a better place one animal at a time. Every time we rescue an animal, we create a miracle.
“I thought I rescued you. But, I think you rescued me”
Have a great night friends.
Good morning friends. Welcome to Poppy Tuesday. Poppy Tuesday’s are filled with hope. Just remember Patrick’s start in life, not an easy one, but now he has a life with an overabundance of love and happiness. Many of us personally and our pets can relate to that.
Sometimes through adversity and hardship life throws us a gift. The key is to hold on to your hope and faith. I’m sure during Patrick’s 10 months in that cage his little spirit must of been on the brink of breaking, but he held the line and now we’re all together happily in the Caribbean far from a little pet shop on 61st and Lexington where we found him. I can tell you hundreds of stories of my 4 decades in NYC, but this Patrick story is 100 percent in the top 3 stories of my entire life in NY. The other 2 two stories in the top 3, are Sammy & Henry.
I mention this story because its for all of us. Keep your hope alive, the best days of your life have not happened yet. Life will try to test everyone at some point on another. The question is do we let life break us where we end up missing the best part of it. I would like to offer anyone out here some inspiration, life is never going to break me while I’m alive, no matter what hits I take. I will not be broken and my reason is simple, I want to be happy. And I can only have happiness it life does not break me. So hang tough my friends, we have to roll with punches and take constructive happiness wherever we can get it. After all, What are we all here for ?
Have a great Poppy Tuesday.
Good morning friends.
Happy Wednesday. Day 349 here in Puerto Rico. Also day 34 since we rescued Rocky. We hope everyone is well this morning.
Dog tip 101; Never try to take a bone out of a Pit Bull’s mouth. All kidding aside, Rocky here is a gentle soul. He has no idea that he is a strong as a mini horse.
The same is to say, never stand behind a horse. If a horse decides to do a little back kick, you will be seeing stars, lol.
OK friends, we are deep into the holidays here. Like so deep you can feel the anticipation in the air. The only thing in my life that was more exciting than opening presents on Christmas morning, was the night before I was getting my driver’s license for the first time. #Yup.
See you tonight friends. Scott Smith for Sammy & Family.
