the 2010 TLC calendar with those unbelievable
blue eyes of hers! Cubby's won the
hearts of her new furever family as well -
special thanks to Kristen for fostering Cubby
as a TLC foster mom! Two of Jayda's
puppies have passed home visits (Hope and
Faith) and will be going to their new furever
homes on Saturday, leaving only Joy and
Justice up for adoption along with Xena's son,
Thor. Sarah (Gorgeous' mom) will be at

Leona
Helmsley is back in the news again: Three
of the nation's major animal-welfare groups
filed what they call a landmark lawsuit in New
York today to get a larger share of the
fortune Leona Helmsley left to charity at the
time of her death in 2007. The Humane Society
of the United States, the American Society for
the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals and
Maddie's Fund insist that Helmsley wanted much
of her more than $5 billion estate to
literally go to the dogs than her estate's
trustees have so far directed to canine
welfare. Read the rest of the story

PetAirways:
On July 14, PetAirways launched the first
airline specifically designed for pets that
allows you to send them on their own flight
designed to fit their needs. You have the
option of sending your pets to and from New
York, D.C., Chicago, Denver and Los Angeles
with fees that range from $150 to $300.
For more information on Pet Airways navigate

Speaking
of airlines: JetBlue typically charges a
$100 fare for dog and cat passengers, but by
using a promotional code being given out at
Petco stores and on Petco's Web site, pet
owners can have that fee knocked down to $50.
To get the discount, call (800) JETBLUE, or
538-2583, and mention the code "LETSGO."
