Princess Pearl loves to sleep with her mom

I've been obsessed with Edward Norton as an actor for the past few weeks. Today I decided just to query him on PETA...I didn't think he was vegan, we usually know which actors are. But you know just in case he was a hunter or something gross like that. When I went to PETA I immediately saw a photo of of a poor little monkey being tested on. It made me realize how ridiculous my original idea what. How can I care about actors or movies when such things are happening? In corporate lingo...it brought my mood elevator down. But it was also good to be reminded again of why it is important that I made the decision to go vegan. So now I am off to lay in the puppy pile with my babies and remember that they shouldn't be lucky to live in my house, but in this world they are. And I'll think about all the babies out there who don't have the life my babies do and how wrong, horrible, and disgusting it is that they don't.

Princess Pearl says good night.

My new favorite movie....

If ever I told my tale of how I became a vegan....Mike White told it for me. Because I did go kicking & screaming. It wasn't easy or pretty. I mean how did I live with a vegetarian partner for 5 years when I wasn't one and a vegan partner for 3 years when I was only a vegetarian/pescatarian? I loved meat! I still miss it! I cannot lie...I won't lie! But I love my babies! Clarence my guardian! He is always on high alert when he feels I'm in distress. Pearl the beautiful slutty princess who gets everything she wants...we love her so. Mia(pia) who puts the name shih-tzu to a whole new meaning. She tries...she really doesn't :-) And Buster...well...he's just special. Those dogs mean more to me than anything. And because of them...we'll I'll continue to love my fake meat & no more dairy...:-)

UGH....

I am so focused on global warming any more. I walk around with a certainty that we are going to go. What kind of way is that to live? Nevertheless...it is the way that I live.
I have made a few amazing recipes. Sorry I wasn't camera friendly. We're still not used to having a camera as we haven't had one for years; Pearl ate our last camera when she was a baby. I am off for this evening....but keep global warming in mind!
