Vote for the LM Humane Society

Please take just a minute to vote for the dog pictured on this link. It is a contest that Bissell is having for the next dog model - and the prize is $10,000. The Laguna Madre Humane Society is sponsoring this sweet dog, and they could really use the money!!!! They are the Humane Society Shelter for South Padre Island and Port Isabel, and people bring animals from Brownsville even, as this is a no-kill shelter. They have more animals than they can take care of many times. Some of my good friends do volunteer work there, and they work so hard for these poor animals. So, PLEASE take time to vote for Rosie. And if you have any friends who would participate, please send the link to them. Thanks so much! Help-a-loo -- Lucy

Of garden tours and doggy walks

Time doesn't stop just because Sandcastle Days is here so I am jumping off the sandpile for a moment to talk about some upcoming events that are going to be too much fun right here on beautiful South Padre Island.

Oct. 28 - Plant swap and secret garden tour brought to you by SPIgardens.com - find out what random acts of green are all about and how you can help SPI become a more beautiful place to live and play. Details here.

Nov. 10 - Laguna Madre Humane Society 2007 Wag Walk - Peach and I will be hitting up friends and family for pledges to see if we can raise a whole bunch of money for the animal shelter. We hope you will be prepared to give and give generously... I will have the pledge form on the beach with me this weekend so if I fail to wave it in your face please be sure and ask me for it ;-)

Also -- Don't forget the music festival Nov. 2-4 and MY 50TH BIRTHDAY PARTY featuring a live performance by the BONGODOGS Oct. 21 starting at 7 PM at the Sandbox Inn.
