FOR THIS CHRISTMAS WE WON’T ASK FOR FOOD, WE WON’T SAY HOW HARD IT IS FOR US, WE WON’T TALK ABOUT THE DISEASES OF THE DOGS, ABOUT THE TREATMENTS, THE FOOD, THIS CHRISTMAS WE WILL TELL YOU STORY, YOU CAN FINISH THE END. ONCE UPON A TIME THERE WERE TWO GIRLS CVETY AND IVA, WHO HAD NOTHING BUT THEIR BIG LOVE TO THE HOMELESS ANIMALS, THEY EVEN DIDN’T HAVE A SMALL PLACE, WHERE TO GIVE A SHELTER EVEN TO ONE SUFFERING SOUL, BUT THEY STEP ON THEIR FEET, WORKED HARD, THEY SUCCEEDED TO MAKE A LITTLE PLACE FOR ABOUT 18 DOGS, THAT WAS TAKEN AWAY FROM THEM FROM THE TERRIBLE OWNER OF THE LAND, WHO DIDN’T FEEL ANY COMPASSION TO THEM AND RUINED THE BUILDINGS.

SO THE DOGS HEAD THE ROAD TO ONE SHELTER TEMPORARY, UNTIL THE GIRLS FIND SOLUTION AND TAKE BACK THEIR DOGS. AFTER LOT’S OF DIFFICULTIES THEY FOUND NEW PLACE, WHERE THEY HAD TO PAY HIGH RENT (160 EURO), BUT NOTHING DIDN’T STOP THEM. THEY STARTED FROM FIELD, FULL WITH BUSHES, CLEARED EVERYTHING WITH BEAR HANDS, THEIR BELOVED PEOPLE HELPED THEM TO MAKE IN THE BEGINNING 1 PEN, AND AGAIN AND AGAIN, UNTIL THEY MADE 9 PENS, AND IN THESE 9 PENS RIGHT NOW 69 DOGS HAVE THEIR SHELTER. IN THE BUILDINGS ARE MOMMY SHEPHERD DOG WITH HER 3 PUPS RESCUED FROM KILLING FROM VRATSA, MECHO, FELICIA, BUCKY, PETIA AND IN ONE OLD WAGGON ARE 30 CATS. SO, THE GIRLS ARE FACING BIG DIFFICULTIES ALL THE TIME, THEY NEVER CAN DO IT ALONE, THE WINTER IS ALWAYS HARD, THE FOOD IS NEVER ENOUGH, ONLY FOR A DAY THE DOGS EAT 45 KG THAT COSTS 35 EURO PER DAY AND THE CATS EAT 3 KG, THAT COSTS 15 EURO PER DAY, THE MEDICAL TREATMENT IS ALSO EXPENSIVE, BUT THEY CONTINUE FIGHTING UNTIL TODAY, AND THEY WILL KEEP ON DOING THIS UNTIL THEY ARE STRONG ENOUGH TO DO IT, AND HOPE YOU WILL HELP IN THEIR FIGHT, THEY ARE NOT ALONE AND HAVE YOU THE FRIENDS … FOR THIS YEAR OUR DREAM IS TO GIVE TO EVERY ANIMAL SOME TREATS OR CAN, MOST OF THEM HAVE NEVER TRIED ANYTHING DIFFERENT THAN DRY FOOD, AND IF OUR STORY TOUCHED YOUR HEART EVEN A LITTLE BIT.

Harvey.

Animal Control got a call about a dog chained up in a backyard, lying in the dirt, unable to move and crying out in pain. When they arrived they found a “newly” abandoned house and a filthy backyard and this poor old boy. They found out from neighbors that the family had left many weeks ago and left him. He had no food or water anywhere and no shelter, no blankets just chained to a pole. He could not walk and was very lethargic and crying. They brought him to the hospital with only a number. He was about 14 years old and covered in tumors, could not stand or walk and one of his ears was missing. He had scars and cuts all over his body and was covered in fleas and maggots. He was suffering beyond words. I named him Harvey and stood by his side while he took his last breath and petted him and told him what a good boy he was and that he would no longer be neglected or suffer. He looked at me with such pretty brown eyes as to say “thank you” and then he was gone.

I’m sorry Harvey that your POS owners left you alone to die by yourself but you did not die alone and you did not die in vain, you will not be forgotten and now you are able to run free. Please share Harvey –abandoning animals is not the answer and poor Harvey deserved so much better * RIP sweet handsome boy.

How To Make Hush Puppies, The Greatest Fried Food Of All Time...

1/2 cup all-purpose Flour
1/2 cup yellow cornmeal
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1 large egg
1/2 cup buttermilk
2 cups vegetable oil, for frying
also maybe add... 1/2 tsp ground black pepper or cajun spices
and 1/4 cup minced onion.

PREPARATION
Combine flour, cornmeal, salt, and baking soda in a bowl. Make a well in the center of the mixture.
Whisk together egg and buttermilk. Add wet ingredients to dry ingredients and stir just until combined.
Pour oil into a 10-inch cast iron skillet (or use a deep-fryer), and heat to 375°. Drop batter by heaping tablespoonfuls into oil. Fry in batches 3 minutes on each side or until golden brown. Drain on paper towels and serve immediately.


  In 1727 a group of French Ursuline nuns in New Orleans created a batter out of ground cornmeal, and deep fried it to make a cornmeal croquettes.  The croquettes quickly became a staple in the south.  The name is credited to hunters and fisherman who would fry off cornmeal mixture leftover from their own cooking and feed it to their dogs to quiet them around the campfire.  "Hush Puppies!"  You can get them pretty much everywhere, but they are for sure a southern gem.
