Still harboring the little dog I found last week and his breath has not improved.  Although the agreession between he and my dog has definitely waned.  After 8 days, I am not as optimistic we will find his owners, it seems like they don’t want to be found.

It occurred to me today that this process is basically p.r. – the same thing I do for my clients.  If you google “found pomeranian, torrance” 7 of the 10 results on the first page are mine.  I am giving this little guy as much exposure as I can including fliers around the neighborhood where he was found, and in local grocery and drug stores.

Pretty soon, he needs to see a vet to treat his breath and get fixed.  This, I hope, will bring calm to my home (and marriage) and aid in finding him a loving family to call his own.

Yes, That’s Me & My Habitat Pals with President Carter – Our Work is Now Done & Families are Moving in!

May 28, 2008 · 3 Comments

Late last June a bunch of pink-clad ladies broke ground and began framing on the site you see above.  It was part of our annual Power Women, Power Tools event (this year’s is coming in July.) Then in October/November there were actual buildings as we worked hard during the 2007 Jimmy Carter Work Project and next month, 30 L.A. families will be moving into their brand new homes!  Homes they purchased and helped build in this roller coaster housing market – that is why Habitat for Humanity is so awesome!!!

We will be having 2 block parties in June to celebrate so if you helped build and you want to come celebrate, or better yet, if you’ve never built with us and you want to see what HABITITIS looks like – please email me Angela@starfish-pr.com

The Ledge Has A New Look

May 22, 2008 · 2 Comments

I decided my blog design was pretty boring.  So…here’s my new layout and every so often I will upload a new graphic to the top. This one reminds me where I long to be when I retire (hopefully, soon.)
