Dear Friendz, this morning we got in trouble because of the whole explosion with the blender thing (what's a girl to do when she needs a milkshake and the Humans won't give it to her?) but anyway due to this we feel that we are in desperate need of trying to make amends with our Humans!
So we thought OK maybe if we let our Human onto the website it would help, because whenever we are on the computer she is all, "Oh girls, what are you up to?" and we are all, "Nothing!" and slam the computer shut.
Anyway so we looked our Human up on the web and found out what some other people had to say about her and stuff:
Cynthia Miller's involvement with rescue dogs began nine years ago, while volunteering at Town Lake Animal Center in Austin, Texas. At that time, 139 dogs were rescued from a woman who had kept them confined to rabbit cages. Many of the dogs were malnourished, dirty, and sick. Cynthia immediately signed on to help get the animals cleaned up and housed, and ended up adopting Lolly.
Cynthia's continued involvement in the rescue community, along with her own research, made her realize that the grim stories around rescue can inadvertently turn people away. Her relationship with Lolly -- and the relationship she saw between Lolly and Lulu, inspired her to find new ways to educate others about pet adoption.
She also realized that many dogs wind up in shelters because humans "dump" them rather than take a few hours to attend dog training; it only takes six months of frustration with relating to a canine to break the human-dog bond. Cynthia thought that by sharing things from a dog's point of view, humans might stop and think about the fact that dogs really are thinking creatures too. Like in all relationships, we just have to put a little effort into learning how to relate!
Cynthia decided to use humor and joy to draw people in, to let them know how joyous the rescue mission can really be, and to subtly share things from a dog's view. After Hurricane Katrina, which ripped apart so many pet families, Cynthia decided it was time for action. Her ideas first manifested themselves in the Lulu and Lolly Road Trip Calendar ... and things have taken off from there.
Cynthia continues to help Lulu & Lolly "Spread A Lotta" to doggies everywhere by donating profits to animal shelters across the country, and keeps thing interesting by developing new and creative ways to get their message across, using the Lulu and Lolly website, videos, and L&L products to show just how much fun rescue dogs actually are!
