Adorableness
Not only is this puppy adorable, but the owners cracked me up with their laughing in the background... well, their CACKLING... it's funny...
Whenever I hear this song I cry...
This is where I first heard this song, on the Ellen show when her and Portia were going to get married... they had Joshua Radin on and he sang this live... melted my heart... I was a mess.. and of course, without fail, I'm a mess at my desk watching this video... I just love, love...
Cause I'm a Jersey Shore FANATIC... did I say that out loud??
Teaching us how to DOUGIE... my favorite guy on the show is definitely Pauly D (middle guy) but they are all funny and silly in their own way... skanky too but still funny!
Did you know?
Should I refrigerate my bananas?
Any decision about refrigeration or non-refrigeration of bananas should depend on their degree of ripeness. If a banana is not yet ripe, refrigeration will cause chill injury and disrupt the ripening process. If an unripe banana is refrigerated, even if it is brought back to room temperature, it will not ripen. However, if you have bananas that are already ripened, it is fine to keep them in the refrigerator for a period of several days. You're likely to see a darkening of the peel, but the inner flesh of the banana itself should not become discolored or harmed in any way.
When I have kids...
When I have kids I am going to do this for them all the time... I think it's fun and a cute way for them to enjoy their food... Check out this mom below and her great ideas....
Some of the stuff is Halloween Decorations but most pics are cute ways she packed her sons lunch... and since they are only small for such a short time, I think it's a WONDERFUL IDEA... they call these lunches BENTOS. Lunch packed in something small and compact but super cute.
You cannot save pics from her site to post here so you will have to check it out yourself... trust me, SUPER CUTE!

Interesting fact about smoked vs non smoked foods!
Since I love to cook... I like to read up on foods that I love and enjoy... bet you might have not known this tid bit below......
"In addition to having less omega-3s than non-smoked fish, smoked fish may contain toxic substances called polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs). Many of these compounds have been shown to increase risk of cancer. When wood or coal is used for smoking, the hotter the wood or coal burns, the more PAHs are created. I don't recommend regular consumption of smoked foods for this reason.
Smoking fish has been a traditional way to preserve fish for many different cultures. Fish that are smoked in high heat for longer periods of time are less likely to require the addition of preservatives to extend their shelf life; however, they may also have a higher PAH content. "Cold-smoked" fish avoid some of the negative consequences of high heat exposure but still contain PAHs and may have been preserved with nitrates or nitrites depending on the manufacturer. (While "cold-smoking" doesn't have a legal definition, it generally involves temperatures between 70°-100°F (21°-38°C) and a time period of at least 12 hours in length, and sometimes as long as three weeks.
"Lox" is a word used to describe salmon that has been cured in brine that typically includes salt and sugar. This type of salmon may or may not be smoked. When it is smoked, however, it is usually "cold-smoked." Nitrates or nitrites are sometimes added to lox as a preservative, but many high-quality manufacturers omit this additive. The lack of nitrates and nitrites is desirable from my perspective even though lox that is nitrate-free and exposed to minimal heat will have a shorter shelf life than salmon smoked in high heat and preserved with nitrates or nitrites.
Many factors would be important in determining whether to include or avoid smoked salmon in a Healthiest Way of Eating. Most individuals in a relatively good state of health with fully nourishing diets would be able to include smoked salmon and benefit from its consumption. These individuals would have plenty of additional omega-3 food sources in their weekly meals, and they would also have healthy detoxification systems that could readily process and eliminate the PAHs or preservatives found in the smoked fish. For other individuals, non-smoked salmon would be a much better choice. These individuals would not have a good supply of alternative omega-3 sources in their food plan or their body's detoxification systems would not be well supported." - George Mateljan

Wonderful story...
I don't know what kind of piece of shit "human being" would throw a dog in the trash but sometimes they do... boy do I wish I could load their asses in a big garbage can and drop them in the dump head first! Hopefully they will break their necks when they land... but anyways.... starts out wicked sad but ends on a wonderful note!!! LOVE IT!!!!!
I came across this quote today and this little dog really is the poster dog for this quote.... the quote goes like this:
“Much has been written about the loyalty of dogs, but what I love about them isn't their devotion to me so much as their devotion to being alive.” - Steven Bauer
As much as this dog is definitely devoted to this little girl... you can tell how happy he is just to be alive!!! Makes me weepy!!!
