Dave, a beautiful Afghan pup needs our help, he's been rescued by Alex Mutch of 40 Commando, Royal Marines, based in Taunton Somerset. Currently serving in the Sangin District, Afghanistan.

Dave had a horrific start to life, in Alex's words "I saw the pup being teased by a group of locals, it was terrified they were teasing it and hurting it. I managed to get it off them, by trading them a packet of mini flares.

He is now is now like one of us, we take good care of him. When I first got Dave he would bite and hide behind bits of wood, after just two days he was happy running around and wagging his tail. We have named him Dave after one of our mates that was killed, he is only about 2 months old and his ears have been cut off. Unfortunately I leave in September and would like Dave to come with me back to the UK."

Alex needs to get Dave to the safety of the animal shelter by the time he goes so time is not on our side. Please help us get this gorgeous little pup home with his solider.

CASA Playhouses are at Northpark Mall!

The 2010 Parade of Playhouses will be at Northpark Mall through Sunday. The playhouses were created by local designers and corporations for CASA. CASA is raffling off the playhouses for their benefit. Tickets are $5.00 each or 5 for $20.

You can go to this link to see the playhouses (if you live outside of the DFW area or you don't feel like beating the crowd to the mall on tax free weekend, right before school starts.) http://dallascasa.org/events/parade-of-playhouses-raffle.html

Link to CASA Dallas' homepage, which will tell you what they do...

I don't think I could do what their volunteers do. I'd have a breakdown, I'm sure.

Boosting the signal would be appreciated.

Now when you buy a ticket you are supposed to put the kid's name down on the ticket. Hmmm... I know someone who has a 2 year old and I could put his name on the ticket... but would I be jumping things wanting to put a 4 month old kid's name on one of the tickets?

If you are a beginning artist, you can sometimes be overwhelmed by the choice of supplies. You can go broke buying good paint, or buy the cheaper brand of paints, and then find that the cheaper ones look like mud when mixed together.

Well I found this guy on Blogger...
