fab_feb_friends Day 3

Today's theme is "Five things." Which really, is a way to share the love.

I'ma start with my friendslist in general. Cause you know, y'all are awesome.

Five Things I Love About My Friendslist

1. You're caring. It's been a rough year or so, and you've given me love and support all the way.

2. You're welcoming. Pretty much everyone I've met in fandom/lj is more than willing to share their joy for the things they love.

3. You're generous. Need a download of an ep you missed? Sure, right over there! Oh, you don't get BBC? Here, have some torchwood. Gay porn? Of course! Real life problem? How can we help?

4. You're smart. Technology is your friend, and they haven't made a "copy protection" that you all can't hack.

5. You're creative! Fic, art, vids, you do it all. I might not always comment, but I'm amazed at the amount you all produce, and the quality. *nod*

I'll see if I have time to get some individual five things done later.

And now, onto things that make me happy.

Over the weekend, we did another puppy transport, our sixth since December. This time, it was an emergency transport, coming out of South Carolina. Apparently, it's still legal to shoot your dog as euthanasia in SC, so this jackass decided that beating the dog to get at his wife wasn't enough. He had to kill his wife's dog, too. They'd moved her from Animal Control to a vet's office, because he was showing up daily with his gun, demanding her back.

So, y'know, I was expecting a skittish, terrified dog. Instead, out stepped this beautiful, 8 year old golden retriever, with her head high, and her tail wagging. She wanted to meet everyone and get love. Her only issues were that she was afraid to sleep in the moving car, and when I got Jess and the puppy in the car, she got nervous, thinking I was going to leave her.

She let the puppy (who was along for the ride, heading to her forever home)snuggle her, and was an absolute sweetheart. So, y'know, this is why I do rescue. To give innocent dogs who deserve so much better than they get a chance. Also, we put in an application for her. *grin*

Other things that make me happy?

Today is Tuesday! Which means American Idol (So Simon can let out all the bitchiness I wish I could.) Fringe (because I can't get enough of JJ Abrams' pseudoscience. Also, Daddy and Peter Bishop are AWESOME.) And of course, Leverage! 2nd season For the Win!
