I found this on The Romance Divas and definitely thought it was something that should be passed along.

A dog, Chai, had to have his tongue amputated because it got stuck in a toy. A toy that the company, Four Paws, seemingly refuses to recall from store shelves. The original story can be found here.

I don’t have a dog now, if I did, I would boycott their products. Period. And no, I’m not asking you to do the same if you’re a dog lover. I will ask that you take the time to read Chai’s story and look through your own house/yard to make sure this isn’t a toy you own. I also think you’ll be appalled by said company’s behavior–which is why I’m not asking you to not buy their products. I’m sure you’ll want to after reading.

If you or anyone else you know is an animal lover, please pass this along to anyone else you know who might be.

Read an Excerpt

They’re primed and primal, untamed and unstoppable, always ready to go further, harder, longer to bring a woman pleasure that’s wild, fiery, and out of this world.

When Jain Roberts’ ship crashes on a distant, futuristic planet, she’s rescued by Kesuk, the lusty clan leader of the Arctic Bears. This magnificent creature with white-blond hair and a potent masculinity haunts her dreams–dreams he intends to make deliciously real, as he draws her into a realm of complete sexual abandon.

This is a fellow Diva and friend’s release, so go! Buy! Shop! Spend money on her.

So, after…I can’t remember how many weeks of having no website, I thought I’d do a little updating.

Let’s see…after spending lots of money I didn’t need to spend, I finally got my site back up, only to transfer it immediately anyway, because the old host was basically robbing me. Then I spent another 3 days without a website. Why, you ask? Because, I sent emails and no one responded–or so I had thought. Here’s the deal: I have like, 3 gmail accounts for various aspects of my ever diversified *cough* life, and I, being the nerdy woman I am, tried making my life simple by having 2 of those emails sent directly to email number 1. Of course, this works if you CLICK THE LINK it tells you to in order to start that nifty feature. Yeah, I didn’t click it. And, I didn’t think to check that email until today. *sigh*

My boss is being a jerk, as usual. We had a little cussing match earlier when I horribly expected and asked to be left alone on the one day a freaking week I get 8 hours (yes, 8 measly hours) to myself. Why did his drunken ass bother me, you ask? Because he had no internet. Again. And even though I’ve shown him how to fix it, repeatedly, he can’t remember and insists I do it. Even at 5am. In the morning. Before the sun is out. *joy*

On to the fun stuff. I got my edits back on Linked a few days ago. About 30 pages in so far on the first rounds.

Um, Breed of Innocence is finished and now I’m onto Polishing.

I wrote a query for Breed. Finally. It only took 3-4 days and about half a dozen (lots more) rewrites. I think it’s pretty good now. I hope. And now I have only to send it off to Dream Agent. Of course, this will only happen if and when I get the guts to do it. I’ll get them soon.

Really. I will. I swears it.

Well, it’s been a long while since my page has been working. Unfortunately, I was an idiot before and somehow didn’t save the other important things–like my blog. I managed to save the theme (???), but totally left out out my comments. However, in my lame defense, I still have no idea where that file actually is. *shrug* So, we’re starting fresh.

Did the blogging world miss me as much as I missed it? I hope so!
