Best Friends Animal Society and Willie Nelson have teamed up to fight dogfighting in Georgia… making it illegal and giving the law oomph…. yay…
and while I am not on the subject, was doing a search for a Chocolate Van to drive me and the pup around and came up with a new chocolate factory in the Bay area and
Chocolate Television… an indie station devoted to chocolate… imagine the possibilities… but really, who wants to watch others eat and enjoy, you have to watch and indulge in chocolate samples yourself…

MALIBU, Calif. – A fast-moving wildfire pushed by Santa Ana winds raced through the canyons and over the mountains of this wealthy enclave for the second time in little more than a month Saturday, destroying dozens of homes and forcing as many as 14,000 residents to flee.

The fire erupted in the wee hours after the long-predicted Santa Anas finally returned, and it quickly grew before the winds died down. Forty-nine homes were destroyed and another 27 damaged, said Los Angeles County Fire Chief P. Michael Freeman.
By midafternoon the fire was estimated at 4,500 acres, or about 7 square miles, with 25 percent containment….
Some evacuees were treated to moments of joy and relief.
Geraldine Gilliland, 56, shrieked with happiness as an animal control officer reunited her with her six dogs and 21-year-old cat, left in her house when the fire drove workers at the property down the canyon.
“Oh my God. They got them, they got them, they got them!” she said, kneeling to embrace her pets.
“You can’t put a price on human life or canine life; these are my babies.”
