Hodge Podge

Like a typical day of my life, today's post is just a jumble of several dissimilar elements. If nothing else, things are never boring at Chez Gumbo Writer's, eh?

First off, our friend kimmi [Kim Richardson] had a great book review published yesterday. To learn more about her story, check out this interesting look at The Unbreakable Child.

Okay, second, I know you're tired of me begging for blog votes, so just consider this a reminder. *grin* Hit that thumbs up icon in my sidebar. We were less than 50 votes away from the first place contender last night! Thanks for the continued lever-pulling. I 'preciate you!

Finally, since I'm a hardcore dog lover, I want to share this pet owner's tragic story and warning with you. Please pass it on ~~

If you are an owner of a dog, especially one that is considered a "dangerous-breed," and small children visit your home, please take this warning seriously. Don't ever leave your dog with the child unattended under any circumstances!

Only a little moment was enough for the following to happen. (See the photo below.)
